2020年浙江省衢州第二中学高三英语模拟试卷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ASome of the world’s most talented musicians have played concerts atLincolnCenter. On September 10, the center hosted a unique class of star musicians: kids and teens. The young players are part of the World Peace Orchestra, or WPO. The group held its first Music for Peace concert inNew York City, with 134 students from more than 60 countries taking part. Musicians were chosen from all over the world.The World Peace Orchestra began in 2013. The nonprofit group brings kids together using the common language of music. To be considered for the orchestra, students first had to be recommended by their teachers and then audition online for a group of judges. Once chosen, professional musicians and teachers then worked with the players to improve their skills.Some of the young musicians played classical instruments, such as violins and flutes. Others played instruments unique to their home country. For example, Amold Mugo, 16, fromKenya, played an instrument called the djembe. The drum is originally fromWest Africa. Mugo said he was shocked when he learned he was chosen for the orchestra. “I can’t express how I felt. I was rolling on the floor. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said.Adomas Hendrixson, 13, fromLithuania, played piano for the WPO. Before theNew York Cityperformance, Hendrixson talked about what he hoped to take away from the event. “Fun and joy-- people smiling and clapping,” he said.“This is one of the only times in your life this could happen and I'm very excited.”Mugo says his favorite part of the WPO is making new friends from around the world. “I hope when I go home, I just take a little bit of every friend that I made here-- Brazil, Portugal, Queens,” Mugo said, “I hope that I take part of their culture home with me so I understand them more.”1. Who is most likely to have played for the WPO according to this passage?A. Li Ming, 16, a student fromChina.B. Daniel, 44, a judge fromAmerica.C. Edward, 21, a clerk fromAustralia.D. Catherine, 32, a teacher fromEngland.2. We can learn from the last paragraph that Mugo ________.A.performed best for the WPO.B. has learned some foreign culture.C. was eager to be chosen for a second time.D. received a great award for his performance.3. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Kids were good at playing music.B. Mugo liked making foreign friends.C. Concerts were played atLincolncentre.D. Young musicians played for peace.BStarting at university or college can be a big challenge, especially if you’re living away from home for the first time. You arefaced with big questions such as, “Who’s going to do my washing?” “Who’s going to tidy my room?” And, most importantly, “How am I going to eat?” Yes, living on your own means cooking for yourself, and when you’re living a student lifestyle, this could be a recipe for disaster.Students, in the UK at least, often rely on generally available food such as baked beans or cheese on toast. And for the more adventurous, there’s “spag bol” — spaghetti bolognaise(肉酱意粉), that is, cooked spaghetti served with a ground beef and tomato sauce — a budget-friendly solution. If you make a huge pan of it, it can probably last you a whole week! Other low-cost options include jar sauces and oven pizzas.Recently, a British supermarket suggested that rose harissa paste, organic cider vinegar and Swiss bouillon powder were the important food materials needed for the “student cupboard”. But are these items considered essential and affordable for someone on a budget?As a matter of fact, living on a budget is certainly one barrier to eating a well-balanced diet. What’s more, some young people don’t know much about cooking, and for many young students, there are more fun things to go and do than just stay inside and cook. That’s where takeaways and microwave meals come in.What should a health-conscious student really have in his or her food cupboard? Jack Monroe, a food writer and campaigner, has words to say: baked beans, lemon juice, canned tomatoes and tomato ketchup, described as “salt, sugar, vinegar and tomato all in one handy squeezy bottle”. And should that not appeal, you can always wait till your next visit to your mum and dad for a square meal!4. What does the author indicate by “this could be a recipe for disaster”?A. Cooking is difficult for a student.B. Students must cook if they live alone.C. It is important to live independently.D. Learning to cook will cause disasters.5. What is the feature of “spag bol”?A. It is delicious.B. It is healthy.C. It saves money.D. It needs little skill.6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How well-balanced diets can be realized.B. How students can eat healthily with limited money.C. Why living on a budget is common among students.D Why students choose takeaways and microwave meals.7. Why does the author write the last paragraph?A. To advocate visiting parents.B. To offer some tips.C. To promote health consciousness.D. To introduce a writer.CA lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win.Consider the case of a young friend of mine,who hita traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum about beinglate on the job.Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer.His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.Yes,the boss was.Sam entered the office at 9:35.The place was as quiet as a locker room;everyone was hard at work.Sam’s supervisor came up to him.Suddenly,Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand.“How do you do!” he said.“I’m Sam Maynard.I’m applying for a job,which,I understand,became available just 35 minutes ago.Does the early bird get the worm?”The room exploded in laughter.The supervisor“clamped off”a smile and walked back to his office.Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win,a laugh.Humor is a most effective,yet frequently neglected,means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.It can be used for patching up differences,apologizing,saying “no”,criticizing,getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losingface.For some jobs,it’s the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel.For example,many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerancethan people in any other forum.8. Why was Sam late for his job?A. Because he was ill.B. Because he got up late.C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.D. He was busy applying for a new job.9. The main idea of this passage is ________.A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humorB. humor is important in our livesC. early bird gets the wormD. humor can solve racial discriminations10. The phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A tried to hold back B. tried to setC. chargedD. gave out11. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?A. Many lose life’s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor.B. It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work.C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.DHowdo you turn “dumb” headphones into smart ones? Rutgers engineers have invented a cheap and easy way by transforming headphones into sensors that can be plugged into (插入) smartphones, identify their users monitor their heart rates and perform other services.Their invention, called HeadFi, is based on a small plug-in headphone adapter that turns a regular headphone into a sensing device (装置). Unlike smart headphones, regular headphones lack sensors. HeadFi would allow users to avoid having to buy a new pairof smart headphones with sensors to enjoy sensing features.“HeadFi could turn hundreds of millions of existing, regular headphones worldwide into intelligent ones with a simple upgrade (升级),” said Xiaoran Fan, a HeadFi primary inventor.A Rutgers-led paper on the invention, which results in "earable intelligence", will be formally published in October at MobiCom 2021, the top international conference on mobile computing and mobile and wireless networking. Headphones are among the most popular wearable devices worldwide and they continue to become; more intelligent as new functions appear, such as touch-based gesture control, the paper notes. Such functions usually rely on aiding sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and microphones that are availableon many smartheadphones.HeadFi turns the two drivers already inside all headphones into a versatile (多功能的) sensor, and it works by connecting headphones to a pairing device, such as a smartphone. It doesn't require adding aiding sensors and avoids changes to headphone hardware or the need to customize headphones, both of which may increase their weight and size. By plugging into HeadFi, a converted headphone can perform sensing tasks and play music at the same time.The engineers conducted experiments with 53 volunteers using 54 pairs of headphones with prices ranging from $2. 99 to $15 ,000. HeadFi can achieve 97. 2 percent to 99. 5 percent accuracy on user identification, 96.8 percent to 99. 2 percent on heart rate monitoring and 97. 7 percent to 99. 3 percent on gesture recognition.12. What does Xiaoran Fan think of HeadFi?A. Secure to operate.B. Simple to use.C. Easy to substitute.D. Convenient to store.13. What can we know about HeadFi according to the text?A. It can't work with headphones alone.B. It actually functions as a versatile sensor.C. It makes headphones larger and heavier than usual.D. It doesn't work when headphones are playing music.14. The figures are listed in the last paragraph mainly to show_________.A. the various functions of HeadFiB. the wide popularity of headphonesC. the great complexity of headphonesD. the excellent performance of HeadFi15. What can be the best title for the text?A. How to Use Headphones AppropriatelyB. Headphones Can Be Upgraded InstantlyC. How to Make Regular Headphones IntelligentD. New Uses Have Been Found in Headphones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。

2020年浙江省衢州市高考英语模拟试卷含答案

高考英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,共25.0分)AWhenever Prince George steps out for an engagement,like on the royal tour of Canada,or poses(摆姿势)for official photographs,there's one thing about the little royal that has long confused royal watchers:the fact that he only ever wears shorts.According to William Hanson,an etiquette(礼仪)expert,there is a very good reason for this---and it has nothing to do with fashion,but rather royal tradition."It's a very English thing to dress a young boy in shorts," William Hanson said."Trousers are for older boys and men,whereas shorts on young boys is one of those silent British class markers that we have in England.Although times are slowly changing,a pair of trousers on a young boy is considered quite middle class---quite suburban.No self-respecting royal would want to be considered suburban.Even the Duchess of Cambridge."The tradition can be traced back through the royal family,with both Princes William and Harry regularly seen wearing shorts until they were considered old enough to progress tofull-length trousers."The usual custom is that a boy graduates to trousers around eight years old," William added."This is,historically,perhaps due to the practice of ‘breeching',which dates back to the sixteenth century.A newborn boy would be dressed in a gown for their first year or two and then he was ‘breeched' and wore articles of clothing that more resembled shorts or trousers than dresses."Ultimately,he concluded,in the case of William and Kate,the decision to dress George in shorts is more likely down to tradition than a class issue."The modern habit of upper class families choosing to dress their boys in shorts will deliberately hark back to(使人想起)a bygone age," he said."The British upper set are always keen to hold on to tradition,and this one also silently marks them out from ‘the rest'."1.Why does Prince George only wear shorts?______A. Prince George loves shorts.B. Prince George loves sports.C. Shorts are a sign of fashion.D. Wearing shorts is a royal practice.2.Which of the following words best describe Prince George's wearing shorts?______A. Reasonable.B. Practical.C. Traditional.D. Fashionable.3.Why do William and Kate dress Prince George in shorts?______A. They want to hold on to tradition.B. They want to keep to royal fashion.C. They want to train him to keep out the cold.D. They want to ignore their social position.BAt 23,my career got going.I was midway through a master's degree at The London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a part-time reporter for a finance website.I got a great one-month review and my boss asked if I was interested in staying with the company after graduation.However,balancing graduate studies with work was challenging.To deal with it,I checked my real self at my office door.I came in to work,greeted my colleagues and listened more than I contributed in each morning meeting.The small team I worked with often seemed busy,so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down,I stayed back.After four months,my boss called me into his office.The meeting was going well until he told me that despite the great work I had produced,the team had held a meeting and decided,"We don't think it's the right fit."I must have looked confused."You're ambitious,intelligent and will be very successful," my boss said."But you haven't made enough of an effort to join the team.You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview.That won't work long term." I couldn't believe that performing well at my job wasn't enough to keep it.But I knew my boss was right."Don't leave before you leave." Because we work so hard for success,we don't like to think that we hurt ourselves sometimes.But each of us must change when necessary.In trying to earn a full time job,I "leaned back" in order not to show too much of myself or my lack of expertise.I learned the hard way isn't the way to achieve your goals.4.Why did the author write this article______A. To amuse the readers.B. To introduce her wisdom.C. To share her work experience.D. To land a full-time job.5.What did the author mean by saying "I stayed back" in Paragraph 2______A. She was no longer interested in the part-time job.B. She was afraid to give her own ideas in her team.C. She was active in expressing herself in her team.D. She had no ideas to contribute in her team.6.Why did her boss call her into his office one day four months later______A. She didn't produce the great work.B. She cared little about other members in her team.C. She was concerned only about her own success.D. She didn't show enough enthusiasm in teamwork.7.What conclusion might the author draw from her work experience______A. Not sharing enough during meetings could lead to being fired from your job.B. Listening is more important than contributing in each morning meeting.C. Getting along well with the other team members could help you keep to your job.D. You must work so hard for your success that you don't want to hurt yourself.CSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says "Thank you"Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don't these people realize that they're wasting your timeMaybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little politeness.But many social agreed standards just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello;E-mail,too,is slowerthan a text;Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listened to.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls."Why are you leaving him voice mails?" my sister asked."Just text him."In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,a business's phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards Easy:Consider your audience.Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank-you message.Others,like me,want no reply.The anthropologist(人类学家)Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learn from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.8.Why didn't the author listen to his father's voice mail messages?______A. He thought voice mail would waste his time.B. He thought voice mail was an impolite way of trying to connect.C. He thought voice mail was an important way of communication.D. He thought his father left him too many voice mails.9.What seems to be the author's attitude toward texts?______A. Favorable.B. Doubtful.C. Reserved.D. Disapproving.10.What does the author suggest modern people do in communication?______A. Learn from the old generation.B. Ask once-acceptable questions.C. Respond with a thank-you email.D. Consider their audience.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)How to Get Rid of Study Stress Do you find yourself feeling stressed and overwhelmed when studying for quizzes,tests,or final exams?This is a common problem among many young people,whether they are in junior high or college.However,there are many tricks that can be used to avoid being stressed about studying for school.(1)Whether you are taking a college course on psychology or a driver's education class,it is important to pay close attention to what your instructor is saying.Typically,if the teacher repeats themselves or writes something on the board,it is important to understand and remember.(2)An important part of preventing distraction is by taking concise(简明的),clear notes in class.(3) Write down things you do not clearly understand or cannot remember.Use graphs,diagrams,and arrows to thoroughly explain concepts.This will help you understand lectures and will reduce study stress at a later time.If you find yourself not understanding a concept and the text is not making it clear to you,ask questions.(4) If you do not understand something,your studying will be confusing and help you very little.If the teacher mentions something in class,do not be afraid to raise your hand and ask if they can explain it further.Better yet,talk to your teacher after school to get some one-on-one time so that you feel confident about your comprehension of a topic.(5) Getting adequate sleep allows the mind to store concepts and topics so that you can remember and understand them.Get enough sleep the night before an exam.This should beno problem,since you won't be cramming!A.Try to make it to every class,and take notes to keep yourself from being distracted during the lecture.B.Getting ahead on reading the material will ensure that you understand it (or at least some of it).C.Rest is actually vastly important for your mind to retain information.D.Write down things the teacher repeats or writes on the board.E.Set aside thirty minutes every evening to repeat what you learned in class that day.F.Here are some effective ways to reduce your own study stress.G.You must ask questions in order to have stress-free studying.11.

高考英语模拟试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,共25.0分)AWhenever Prince George steps out for an engagement,like on the royal tour of Canada,or poses(摆姿势)for official photographs,there's one thing about the little royal that has long confused royal watchers:the fact that he only ever wears shorts.According to William Hanson,an etiquette(礼仪)expert,there is a very good reason for this---and it has nothing to do with fashion,but rather royal tradition."It's a very English thing to dress a young boy in shorts," William Hanson said."Trousers are for older boys and men,whereas shorts on young boys is one of those silent British class markers that we have in England.Although times are slowly changing,a pair of trousers on a young boy is considered quite middle class---quite suburban.No self-respecting royal would want to be considered suburban.Even the Duchess of Cambridge."The tradition can be traced back through the royal family,with both Princes William and Harry regularly seen wearing shorts until they were considered old enough to progress tofull-length trousers."The usual custom is that a boy graduates to trousers around eight years old," William added ."This is,historically,perhaps due to the practice of ‘breeching',which dates back to the sixteenth century.A newborn boy would be dressed in a gown for their first year or two and then he was ‘breeched' and wore articles of clothing that more resembled shorts or trousers than dresses."Ultimately,he concluded,in the case of William and Kate,the decision to dress George in shorts is more likely down to tradition than a class issue."The modern habit of upper class families choosing to dress their boys in shorts will deliberately hark back to(使人想起)a bygone age," he said."The British upper set are always keen to hold on to tradition,and this one also silently marks them out from ‘the rest'."1.Why does Prince George only wear shorts?______A. Prince George loves shorts.B. Prince George loves sports.C. Shorts are a sign of fashion.D. Wearing shorts is a royal practice.2.Which of the following words best describe Prince George's wearing shorts?______A. Reasonable.B. Practical.C. Traditional.D. Fashionable.3.Why do William and Kate dress Prince George in shorts?______A. They want to hold on to tradition.B. They want to keep to royal fashion.C. They want to train him to keep out the cold.D. They want to ignore their social position.BAt 23,my career got going.I was midway through a master's degree at The London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a part-time reporter for a finance website.I got a great one-month review and my boss asked if I was interested in staying with the company after graduation.However,balancing graduate studies with work was challenging.To deal with it,I checked my real self at my office door.I came in to work,greeted my colleagues and listened more than I contributed in each morning meeting.The small team I worked with often seemed busy,so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down,I stayed back.After four months,my boss called me into his office.The meeting was going well until he told me that despite the great work I had produced,the team had held a meeting and decided,"We don't think it's the right fit."I must have looked confused."You're ambitious,intelligent and will be very successful," my boss said."But you haven't made enough of an effort to join the team.You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview.That won't work long term." I couldn't believe that performing well at my job wasn't enough to keep it.But I knew my boss was right."Don't leave before you leave." Because we work so hard for success,we don't like to think that we hurt ourselves sometimes.But each of us must change when necessary.In trying to earn a full time job,I "leaned back" in order not to show too much of myself or my lack of expertise.I learned the hard way isn't the way to achieve your goals.4.Why did the author write this article?______A. To amuse the readers.B. To introduce her wisdom.C. To share her work experience.D. To land a full-time job.5.What did the author mean by saying "I stayed back" in Paragraph 2?______A. She was no longer interested in the part-time job.B. She was afraid to give her own ideas in her team.C. She was active in expressing herself in her team.D. She had no ideas to contribute in her team.6.Why did her boss call her into his office one day four months later?______A. She didn't produce the great work.B. She cared little about other members in her team.C. She was concerned only about her own success.D. She didn't show enough enthusiasm in teamwork.7.What conclusion might the author draw from her work experience?______A. Not sharing enough during meetings could lead to being fired from your job.B. Listening is more important than contributing in each morning meeting.C. Getting along well with the other team members could help you keep to your job.D. You must work so hard for your success that you don't want to hurt yourself.CSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says "Thank you"?Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time?Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little politeness.But many social agreed standards just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello;E-mail,too,is slowerthan a text;Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listened to.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls."Why are you leaving him voice mails?" my sister asked."Just text him."In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,a business's phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards?Easy:Consider your audience.Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank-you message.Others,like me,want no reply .The anthropologist(人类学家)Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learn from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.8.Why didn't the author listen to his father's voice mail messages?______A. He thought voice mail would waste his time.B. He thought voice mail was an impolite way of trying to connect.C. He thought voice mail was an important way of communication.D. He thought his father left him too many voice mails.9.What seems to be the author's attitude toward texts?______A. Favorable.B. Doubtful.C. Reserved.D. Disapproving.10.What does the author suggest modern people do in communication?______A. Learn from the old generation.B. Ask once-acceptable questions.C. Respond with a thank-you email.D. Consider their audience.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)How to Get Rid of Study Stress Do you find yourself feeling stressed and overwhelmed when studying for quizzes,tests,or final exams?This is a common problem among many young people,whether they are in junior high or college.However,there are many tricks that can be used to avoid being stressed about studying for school.(1)Whether you are taking a college course on psychology or a driver's education class,it is important to pay close attention to what your instructor is saying.Typically,if the teacher repeats themselves or writes something on the board,it is important to understand and remember.(2)An important part of preventing distraction is by taking concise(简明的),clear notes in class.(3) Write down things you do not clearly understand or cannot remember.Use graphs ,diagrams,and arrows to thoroughly explain concepts.This will help you understand lectures and will reduce study stress at a later time.If you find yourself not understanding a concept and the text is not making it clear to you,ask questions.(4) If you do not understand something,your studying will be confusing and help you very little.If the teacher mentions something in class,do not be afraid to raise your hand and ask if they can explain it further.Better yet,talk to your teacher after school to get some one-on-one time so that you feel confident about your comprehension of a topic.(5) Getting adequate sleep allows the mind to store concepts and topics so that you canremember and understand them.Get enough sleep the night before an exam.This should be no problem,since you won't be cramming!A.Try to make it to every class,and take notes to keep yourself from being distracted during the lecture.B.Getting ahead on reading the material will ensure that you understand it (or at least some of it).C.Rest is actually vastly important for your mind to retain information.D.Write down things the teacher repeats or writes on the board.E.Set aside thirty minutes every evening to repeat what you learned in class that day.F.Here are some effective ways to reduce your own study stress.G.You must ask questions in order to have stress-free studying.11.

Let's go and see!""No," said Henry. "Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手)this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble).Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me. ""You are a coward, and afraid to go," said Robert, and off he ran.Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward,and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on,they looked down upon Henry and didn't want to play with him together.Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior,because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead,he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school ,they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river,and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain.The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could,but they did not even try to help him.注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语.Paragraph 1:Robert was fast sinking.Paragraph 2:Thus, Robert's life was saved.答案和解析1.【答案】略【解析】21.

AMy First Day of SchoolFear started taking over, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled(登记)in the local high school in my new town.I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered. “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s still fourth period.”“But the bell just rang,” I said.Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one, she said, “That is the lunch bell, young man.”I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t o bad.21.

What do we know about the author's first day of school?A. He went to the wrong class for the second periodB. He met some enthusiastic teachers and classmatesC. He got the Course Requirements sheet from his classmateD. He experienced differences from the Indian schools in many ways23. How did the author feel at the end of the day?A. WorriedB. PuzzledC. RelievedD. ExcitedBRecently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey on thousands of people caught my eyes. We saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many human interesting stories during my career. That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eyes.When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply tobake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent,“Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel _forlorn_. Instead,we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”24. What did the bakery store workers do after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey?A. They volunteered to make bread for their community.B. They managed to live by selling more bread in the store.C. They felt sorry that they couldn't escape from the store.D. They ate nothing but to wait for their community to rescue them.25. Which of the following best explains“forlorn”underlined in the last paragraph?A. Fortunate.B. Hopeful.C. Shallow.D. Desperate.26. What can we infer from the text?A. Alvarado organized his workers to bake much bread.B. Hurricane Harvey caused a power failure in Houston.C. The staff in the bakery sent enough flour to emergency centers.D. The author preferred to write stories about people facing disasters.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Popular Mexican Bakery Chain in HoustonB. Wait for the Eventual Rescue in a Big DisasterC. All Kinds of Disasters Caused by Hurricane Harvey in HoustonD. Bake Bread to Make a Difference in Face of Hurricane HarveyCJohn George, 60, remembers that he lived a wonderful life in the Detroit neighborhood where he grew up. “We knew all our neighbors.” George told Detroit's Metro Times. “On Christmas Eve, we'd all go to midnight Mass, and there'd be 300 people in our house at one o’clock to about five in the morning. The folks were just really good, hardworking people. ”By the'80s, however, the old neighborhood changed. Due in part to economic downturns and drug abuse, well -kept homes had been abandoned and kindly neighbors had fled to the suburbs(郊区). But not George. “Living in any city, it’s like being in a relationship,” he told Reader’s Digest. “Some days are better than others. But it was my home. And when I saw it becoming worse, I had two choices: I could leave, or I could stay and fight. I chose the latter.”When the abandoned home behind his turned into a worn-out place, the father of two grabbed some boards and nails and began boarding up the house. After two neighbors stopped to ask what he was doing, they decided to help, with great results.That's how it all got started. In the 30 years since that first home rescue, an army of approximately 182,000 volunteers, along with private donors, has helped George pull down around 300 abandoned homes, mainly in die poorer Northwest area of Detroit. They've also secured 400 - some homes by boarding them up. They've painted and repaired nearly 900 homes and built over 100 from scratch. According to Forbes, more than 1,000 Detroiters have been housed as a result of their work.And there's Halloween. In Detroit, October 30 was known as Devil's Night, a period when all hell break loose in the form of crime and vandalism (破坏公物). In response, George created a citizens'patrol(巡逻)that would take to the streets, keeping an eye on illegal behavior. He named it Angels' Night What began with 12 neighbors on patrol in 1990 has grown to more than 60,000 citywide.George's inspired ideas have not gone unnoticed by the city he loves. Others are buying into it. There'sa trend of younger homeowners coming in.28. What was George’s home city Detroit like before the ’80s?A. Neighbors were nice and got along very well.B. People in the suburbs led a wonderful life.C. Economy declined because of drug abuse.D. Many homes were abandoned and people lied.29. What did George decide to do after his neighborhood changed?A. Move to the suburbs.B. Leave his hometown.C. Join his neighbors to help.D. Stay and fight to save his city.30. What happened as a result of George and other volunteers' hard work?A. More people moved into Detroit.B. Almost all Detroiters were housed.C. Over 100 homes were newly built.D. There was no illegal behavior any more.31. What does the story mainly intend to toll us?A. Great minds think alike.B. Two heads are better than one.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. Little people can make a big difference.DBoth honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist of Stanford University, says, “Ants aren’t smart. Ant colonies are.” The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity of learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send message to each other by means of a “dance”. Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new hoe for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of “sameness” and “difference” to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent America research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants. They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complexactions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.32. What do ants and bees have in common?A. They make use of collective intelligence.B. They live in similar-sized colonies.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D. They use the same method to communicate with each other.33. What docs the speed of a bee’s dance indicate?A. The distance to a neighboring colony.B. The quality of a new colony location.C. The discovery of a new food source.D. The direction to a potential food source.34. In paragraph 3, how docs the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning?A. By using statistics.B. By explaining reason.C. By presenting study findings.D. By stating opinions.35. What does the un derlined part “foraging skills” refer to in the third Paragraph?A. The skills of communicating.B. The skills of sacking food.C. The skills of leaning.D. The skills of finding a new home.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。

However, we don’t often think of martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts aren’t considered a sport, right?Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts aren’t much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape, both physically and mentally. They’re much less boring and much lessarduoussport than they’re usually described as in movies, so do not worry that they need a lot of effort.Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head. Andpracticing it can help you learn to stay more focused, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.Martial arts also improve your coordination (协调性), and greatly improve your posture (姿势). I have personally seen students go from slouching (没精打采) to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts. Whichever one you like better, know that all of them are good choices.4. What can we know about martial arts from the first two paragraphs?A. They often have people hurt.B. They are difficult to practice.C. People have a wrong view on it.D. People practice them more often.5. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Interesting.B. Difficult.C. Friendly.D. Exciting.6. What is the biggest benefit of practicing martial arts?A. Adjusting the breath.B. Enjoying one’s free time.C. Correcting the movement.D. Keeping one’s attention.7. What does the writer think of martial arts?A. They are notsports.B. They attracted many teenagers.C. They are beneficial and helpful.D. They were invented to protect others.CBy mid-century there will likely be 9 billion people on the planet, using ever more resources and leading ever more technologically complex lives. What will our cities be like? How much will artificialintelligence (AI) advance? Will global warming cause disastrous changes, or will we be able to engineer our way out of the climate change issues? Recently, the magazineBig Thinkasked top minds from a variety of fields to weigh in on what the future holds 40 years from now. The result is as follows.It's likely that by 2050 the majority of the people in the world will live in urban areas and will have a much higher average age than people today. Cities theorist Richard thinks urbanization will transform the education system of, making our economy less houses driven and removing the divisions between home and work.And rapidly advancing technology will continue ever more rapidly. Cities of the future won't look like “some sort of science-fiction fantasy”, but it's likely that technological advances and information overlays (VR and AR) will greatly change how we live. Self-driving cars will make the roads safer and provide faster transports. A larger version of driverless cars-driverless trucks — may make long-distance drivers out of date.Some long view predictions are completelydire. Environmentalist Bill says that if we don't make great progress in fighting global warming, it's likely we could see out-of- control rises in sea levels, huge crop shortfalls and wars over limited freshwater resources.In terms of how we will eat, green markets founder and “real food" supporter Nina believes that there will bemore small milk processing plants and more regional food operations and we'll be healthier as a result.New York Timeswriter Mark thinks that people will eat fewer processed foods and eat foods grown closer to where they live. And more people will be aware of the ethical responsibility" to grow foods.8. What may happen by 2050 based on the magazineBig Think ?A. Education will be driven by economy.B. The majority of people will be taller.C. AI will cause disastrous changes.D. Most people will live in big cities.9. What do we know about technology in the future according to Paragraph 3?A. It will make people live in science-fiction fantasy.B. It will ensure safer transports due to faster cars.C. It will greatly change the way in which people live.D. It will increase the number of long-distance drivers.10. What does the underlined word "dire" in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Magical.B. Terrible.C. Ridiculous.D. Meaningful.11. What does Nina think of foods in the future?A. People will eat healthier and fresher foods.B. Land-raised farm systems will be improved.C. There will be smaller regional food operations,D. Food supplies will become much more limited.DThe AI research arm of Alibaba created a machine learning model that received a higher score on the Stanford Question Answering Dataset than humans. The database consists of more than 100,000 questions to test reading comprehension.In early January this year the Alibaba AI software machine scored 82.44 on the test while humans scored 82.304. Besides, computers and AI have already defeated humans, for example in games such as chess. However, it seemed that language skills were superior in humans as machines find languages hard to master.A large number of call center employees, often in developing countries, may be out of work soon if the AI robots are cheaper and as effective as human labor. Soon when you phone a company for information the conversation will go like this: “ We are sorry but all our robots are busy right now. We value your call. Please stay on the line until a robot is free to serve you. There are just 12 callers ahead of you.” A robot will serve you some popular tunes while you wait.Si Luo, who is a chief scientist of natural language processing at Alibaba’s AI research group noted that questions such as “What causes rain?” can now be answered with a high degree of accuracy by robots. Si Luo said, “ We believe the foundational technology can be gradually applied to a lot of applications such as customer service, museum tutorials, and online responses to inquiries from patients, freeing human efforts in a new way.”Si Luo’s team is working closely with Ali Xiaomi, a mobile customer service chatbot. Ali Xiaomi can be customized to be used on Alibaba’s platforms such as Taobao and Tmall. The new AI robots could answer consumers’ questions as they did the Stanford questions. The robots would look for the answers from prepared information. However, there are limits to what the system will be able to do. If questions do not have clear-cut answers, or the questions asked are too unclear or ungrammatical, the robot may not be able to deal with them.12. What can we learn about the Alibaba AI software machine?A. It has been tested in some areas.B. It has become popular since January.C. It has offered a special learning style.D. It has made people interested in reading.13. What does the example in paragraph 3 show about the AI robots?A. They should have better language skills.B. They may replace humans in some fields.C. They need to be customized to serve customers.D. They will be widely used in developing countries.14. How does Si Luo feel about the foundational technology?A. Doubtful.B. Worried.C. Curious.D. Confident.15. What can we infer from the lastparagraph about Ali Xiaomi?A. It needs to improve in some ways.B. It is connected with another system.C. It is a platform to show good service.D. It can answer any questions accordingly.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。

Bleaching doesn’t kill coral immediately, but if temperatures remain high, eventually the coral will die, destroying a natural habitat for many species of ocean life.“We used to think the Great Barrier Reef is protected by its huge size — but in fact our results show that even the world’s largest and ly well-protected reef system is increasingly destroyed and in decline,” Terry Hughes, an outstanding professor at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, said.“There is no time to lose — we must sharply decrease greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible,” the reporter warned in the paper, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society journal.4. What has mainly influenced the coral populations of theGreat Barrier Reef?A. Destroyed habitats.B. Climate change.C. Lack of seafood.D. Bleaching events.5. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many species has been dying out slowly.B. The size of reefs contributes to their protection.C. Ocean ecosystems don’t develop without reefs.D. Bleaching continually disturbs table-shaped corals.6. What attitude does the reporter hold to the present situation of theGreat Barrier Reef?A. Worried.B. Angry.C. Hopeful.D. Surprised.7. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Climate change damages theGreat Barrier ReefB. The Species of ocean Life Are In DangerC. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Get WorseD. Sea Ecosystems Are In DeclineCThe outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.8. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.9. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?A. It is boring to make comments.B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.10. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.11. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming?A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.DWhat is the secret of happiness? A new study finds that happiness comes from exercise. People who exercise actively bring themselves happiness equal to earning an extra $25,000 ayear.Instead of recording extra hours at work in hopes of getting a raise, maybe you should hit the gym instead, as it could make you just as happy as that extra money. An interesting new study, published in the Lancet, found that people who are physically active have a greater sense of well—being than those who are inactive-and that active individuals feel as good as inactive people who earn $ 25,000 more per year.Researchers from Oxford and Yale Universities used data gathered from more than 1.2milion Americans.

Hurricane Harvey dumped five feet of rain in some areas, and nearly six feet of storm surge(风暴潮) made sure that the water had nowhere to go but into the houses, businesses, and lives of thousands of residents.
