2020届高考高三英语第二次模拟考试（二）（解析附后）第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AUnbelievable Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans◆Horses are picky eatersHorses have an even better sense of smell than humans do. When horses raise their noses and open their nostrils(鼻孔) , their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can’t sense. This might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows, eating only the tastiest grasses, experts say.◆Whale says thanksIn 2011, a whale expert spotted a humpback whale trapped in a fishing net and spent an hour freeing it. Afterward, in an hour-long display of thanks, the whale swam near their boat and leaped into the air about 40 times.◆Pandas like to be naughtyIs there anything more lovely than a baby panda, except maybe a human baby? In fact, baby pandas sometimes behave like human babies. They sleep in the same positions and value their thumbs. Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviors such as covering its face with a paw of ducking its head when confronted by a stranger.◆A cat honors its ownerPaper towels, and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo, a devoted three-year-old gray-and-white cat, has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzo’s grave every day since the man died in September 2011. Renzo adopted Toldo from a shelter when the cat was three months old, and the two formed an inseparable bond. After Renzo passed away,Toldo followed the coffin to the cemetery, and now "stands guard" at the grave for hours ata time.21. What can horses do to pick delicious grasses?A. Feel them.B. Taste them.C. Smell them.D. Observe them.22. What do the whale and the cat have in common according to the passage?A. They are clever.B. They have a grateful heart.C. They are active and lovely.D. They have a good sense of smell.23. Which of the following acts like a human baby according to the passage?A. The whale.B. The cat.C. The horse.D. The panda.BEdward Latter, five, thought his dog Morse was gone for ever after cruel thieves took him away when the dog escaped from his home.The 10-month-old dog had been missing since December and the broken-hearted boy even wrote a heartbreaking letter to Santa and posted it to Lapland asking for his pal back for Christmas.A ￡10,000 reward was offered by millionaire Simon Cowell after he read about the horrific theft. Cowell said: “It’s heartbreaking to see a little boy’s Christmas ruined. Dogs are so important to many of us. We just hope it helps lead to the safe return of Morse.”His parents, Amanda Hopkins and Richard Latter, had given up hope of ever seeing their pet again, until they got a call on Friday night. A couple 20 miles away from their home in Marden, Kent, had found a muddy dog walking through their street and thought it could be missing Morse. They brought the Morse in, washed him, and then called Mr Latter who was unsure until he was sent a photo, and then drove the family to the village of Meopham.The theatre carpenter, 40, said: “Amanda and I were still quite sceptical, but Edward saw him and recognised him straight away. He was absolutely over the moon. He said: ‘I can’t believe it, I have my best friend back. It’s too late for Christmas but this is the best presentever.’We were still unsure if it was him though—as he wasn’t responding to his name or coming to us.”“We spent about an hour and half over there and we still were not sure, so we took him home to get his chip scanned. It was only when we took him to the vets on Saturday morning and got his chip scanned that we found out for sure. We instantly broke down in tears. We were just hugging each other, hugging Edward and hugging the dog.”Added Richard.The family who found missing Morse said they hadn’t yet heard from Simon Cowell about the ￡10,000 reward but were happy to get him home.24. Why did Edward Latter write to Santa?A. He wanted Santa to punish the cruel thieves.B. He wished Santa could bring Morse back for Christmas.C. He hoped Santa would reward the person finding his dog.D. He wished he could reunite with his parents for Christmas.25. What does the underlined phrase “over the moon”in Paragraph 5 mean?A. On the move.B. Outer space.C. In high spirits.D. Beyond description.26. Why did Richard Latter have the dog’s chip scanned?A. To identify the dog.B. To ensure the dog’s health.C. To remind Edward Latter to hug the dog.D. To get the reward millionaire Cowell had promised.27. What can we learn from the text?A. Edward Latter has got his lost Morse back.B. Simon Cowell was accused of breaking his promise.C. Santa brought Morse back for Edward Latter after Christmas.D. The couple has received a reward of ￡10,000 from Mr Latter.CFor students, college is a series of disconnected experiences: the classroom, the dorm, the athletic field, and the internship(实习岗位). Yet the employers tell me what gets college students hired is the ability to translate what they learned in one place (the classroom, for example) to another that is far different from where they originally learned a concept (aproject on an internship).Educators call this “transfer learning”—the ability to summarize key principles and apply them in many different places, which becomes more important as the skills needed to keep up in any job and occupation continue to change in the future. Our ability to drive almost any car on the market without reading its manual(手册) is an example of knowledge transfer.The concept sounds simple enough. But today’s students, faced with the constant pressure to prepare for standardized tests, rarely have the chance to learn through problem-solving or to be involved in projects that improve skills that can be used in various settings.In response to demands from students, parents and employers, colleges and universities are adding hands-on experiences to the undergraduate curriculum.Arizona State University, where I’m a professor of practice, is testing a curriculum across a dozen majors in which students learn nearly half of the subject matter through group projects. Engineering students might build a robot and learn the key principles of mechanics and electronics during the project. The hope is that students will be more involved if theories from the classroom are immediately applied in the outside world instead of years after students graduate.What’s the problem with the hands-on learning experiences being added by colleges to the undergraduate curriculum? They’re often not accompanied by the guidance that students need to help them transfer what they learn. So students become adepts skilled in job interviews at describing what they did during a project, but they have difficulty talking about what they learned and how they can apply that to where they want to work.28. Why is the ability to drive mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. To show that everything is changing.B. To prove that driving ability is important.C. To stress the importance of practical skills.D. To explain the meaning of transfer learning.29. What prevents students from getting the ability to transfer knowledge?A. Various school projects.B. Too much stress from tests.C. Their lack of theory knowledge.D. Their unwillingness to solve problems.30. Which may arouse students’interest in school learning according to the author?A. Seeing what they have learned is applied.B. Teachers changing the way lectures are given.C. Focusing on the key principles of every subject.D. Teachers explaining theories in an interesting way.31. What does the author think of the hands-on learning experiences in colleges?A. They are effective.B. They are unnecessary.C. They should be improved.D. They cost a lot of time.DAnecdotal evidence has long held that creativity in artists and writers can be associated with living in foreign parts. Rudyard Kipling, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Gauguin, Samuel Beckett and others spent years living abroad. Now a pair of psychologist has proven that there is indeed a link.As they report in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, William Maddux of INSEAD, a business school in Fontainebleau, France, and Adam Galinsky, of the Kellogg School of Management in Chicago, presented 155 American business students and 55 foreign ones studying in America with a test used by psychologists as a measure of creativity. Given a candle, some matches and a box of drawing pins, the students were asked to attach the candle to a cardboard wall so that no wax would drip on the floor when the candle was lit. (The solution is to use the box as a candleholder and fix it to the wall with the pin.) They found 60% of the students who were either living abroad or had spent some time doing so, solved the problem, whereas only 42% of those who had not lived abroad did so.A follow-up study with 72 Americans and 36 foreigners explored their creative negotiating skills. Pairs of students were asked to play the role of seller of a petrol station who then needed to get a job and a buyer who would need to hire staff to run the business. The two were likely to reach a deadlock because the buyer had been told he could not afford what the seller was told was his minimum price. Nevertheless, when both negotiators had lived abroad 70% struck a deal in which the seller was offered a management job at the petrol station in return for a lower asking price. When neither of the negotiators had lived abroad, none was able to reach a deal.Merely travelling abroad, however, was not enough. You do have to live there. Packingyour beach towel and suntan lotion will not, by itself make you Hemingway.32. What is the purpose of mentioning the famous names in the opening paragraph?A. To show the relationship between creativity and living abroad.B. To indicate the link between artistic creation and life experience.C. To emphasize how great these artists are.D. To impress the importance of creativity.33. What can be inferred from the text?A. William Maddux and Adam Galinsky have carefully designed the test.B. Negotiators who had lived abroad are more flexible in negotiating.C. American business students are less creative than those oversea students.D. One’s creativity is associated with the length one has spent abroad.34. What does the author mean in the last sentence of paragraph 4?A. There exist sharp differences between travelling and living abroad.B. You shouldn’t lie on the beach when travelling.C. Only real experience of living abroad can help drive creativity.D. Living abroad is more meaningful than just travelling abroad.35. Where is the text most likely from?A. A diary.B. A magazine.C. A novel. A. guidebook.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。

AMany college students want to look for seasonal, short-term orpart-time jobs to get extra cash, to stay busy or to get working experience.LifeguardThe job is a great opportunity to build your fitness, keep people safe and be outdoors to enjoy some fun on the beach in the sun. The average hourly wage for lifeguards is $ 9.31, but those with certifications or previous experience may be able to earn a bit more. Nanny (保姆)Students can find plenty of positions as parents scramble (争抢) to arrange activities and find care for their children. Students whoenjoy spending time with kids, staying active and being outdoors can spend their leisure time making money without even feeling likethey’re working. Nannies make $ 14.56 per hour.Camp ConsultantStudents who enjoy spending their time with children, being a leader and monitoring fun outdoor activities are perfect for camp consultant positions. The average hourly wage for camp consultants is $9.28, but those with many years’ experience or specific academic backgrounds may be able to earn more.Food ServerAlthough it may not seem like the most attractive way to spend a weekend, working as wait staff allows students to build up their social skills, stay active, enjoy free meals at work and posily educate themselves about different cuisines. However, food servers need to be on their feet for hours at a time and must be able tomulti-task like professionals, so take this into account before submitting an application. The average salary is $ 9.00 hourly, but trips can raise that number.1. Who are the two jobs nanny and camp consultant most fit for?A. Students who want to develop their social skills.B. Students who love staying with children.C. Students who love traveling.D. Students who love camping.2. What should you take into consideration before applying to be a food server?A. The way of cooking.B. The food you can enjoy.C. Long standing time at work.D. Skill in getting tips from customers.3. What job can you do if you’re good at swimming?A. A lifeguard.B. A nanny.C. A camp consultant.D. A food server.BConnie Monroe clicks a button, flicks her wrist and watches as her neighborhood floods. The shorelines are first to go. Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park. By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Monroe moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated (仿真(fǎnɡ zhēn)的) view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most vexing: How do you show people and convince them of a possible future?Communicating the realness and immediacy of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to lessen its causes. But it's also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. These projects needpublic support and input. That's why Monroe and other residents (居民(jūmín)) are being dire cted to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual reality headsets and watch their homes flood.Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare. It has partnered with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.The virtual reality program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step. Virtual reality is an immersive experience that can trick the human brain into thinking it's real. But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation being used at Turner Station, says Juiano Calil, one of the program's developers. “The goal,〞 he says, “is to start a conversation and help folks visualize the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the trade-offs between them.〞4. Who is Monroe?A. A coastal community citizen.B. A climate researcher.C. An architect.D. AVR program developer.5. What does the underlined word “vexing〞 mean in paragraph 2?A. Bothersome.B. Dramatic.C. Original.D. Convincing.6. Why is VR technology employed here?A. It can cut down the risks of climate change.B. It can show severe results of climate change.C. It can introduce technology to the residents.D. It can predict the climate change accurately.7. What is the purpose of the program?A. To trick more people to believe.B. To win the residents’cooperation.C. To advocate the application of VR.D. To inform the residents of the solutions.CBefore the end of the year, employees at Ubiquitous Energy, a company in Redwood City, Calif, will gather in a window-lined conference room to stare toward the future. That’s becau se their new glass windows will offer more than an amazing view of the North California landscape. They will also be able to power the company’s lights, computers and air conditioners.Several years in the making, Ubiquitous’ energy-producing glass is a remarkable technological achievement. Its power lies in the layersof organic polymers (聚合物) between sheets of glass. As light enters the window,the flow of electrons between the polymer layers creates an electric current, which is then collected by tiny wires in the glass.“It’s sort of like a transparent computer display run in reverse (反过来),〞 says Veeral Hardev, director of business development at Ubiquitous Energy. “Instead of electricity being shuttled todifferent points in a display to light them up, light is producing electricity to be shuttled out of different points in the window.〞Right now the windows produce about a third as much electricity from a given amount of sunlight as the typical solar cells used inroof panels (板).These windows, about half as transparent as ordinary glass, don’t work as well as transparent ones. Hardev says the company is likely to improve the transparency significantly. As forthe lower output of electricity, he notes that windows can cover a much greater surface area than a roof, so numerous windows will produce a surprisingly larger amount of electricity than the production from a rooftop full of higher-efficiency solar panels. “You could do both.〞says Hardev. “But you’ll get more from the windows. The biggest challenge, he adds, is increasing the windows from less than two square feet currently to about 50 square feet.〞8. What makes the new glass windows special?A. They can offer an amazing view.B. They are controlled by computers.C. They can power the conference room.D. They can help stare toward the future.9. What is Hardev trying to explain in Paragraph 3?A. The source of light.B. The significance of different points.C. The similarity of computer and glass.D. The working principle of energy-producing glass.10. What can affect power production according to the passage?A. The transparency of the glass.B. The quality of the rooftop.C. The height of the solar panels.D. The thickness of the glass.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Windows: A New Challenge of TechnologyB. Windows: No Longer Just for Letting in the LightC. Power: A Pressing Problem in the Near FutureD. Power: Not Enough from Rooftop Solar PanelsDIf you’ve spent any amount of time boati ng, fishing, or bird-watching at lakes and rivers, you have most likely seen fishes jumping out of the water. I have seen it many times. Certainly, fishes will exit water in desperate attempts to escape enemies. Dolphins take advantage of the behavior, forming a circle and catching the frightened fishes in midair. But just as we may run fast from fun or from fear, different emotions might motivate fishes to jump.Mobula rays〔蝸鲼〕aren’t motivated by fear when they throw their impressive bodies—up to a seventeen-foot wingspan (the distance from the end of one wing to the end of the other) and a ton in weight—skyward in leap〔跳跃(tiàoyuè)〕of up to ten feet. They do it in schools〔鱼群〕of hundreds. They usually land on their bellies, but sometimes they land on their backs. Some scientists think it might be a way of removing parasites〔寄生虫〕. But I think that the rays are enjoying themselves.In the clear waters of Florida’s Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, I watched several schools of fifty or more mullets〔鲻鱼〕moving in beautiful formation. Their well-built bodies were most evident when they leaped from the water. Most of the time I saw one or two leaps by a fish, but one made a series of seven. They usually landon their sides. Each jump was about a foot clear of the water and two to three feet in length.Nobody knows for sure why the fish leaps. One idea is that they do it to take in oxygen. The idea is supported by the fact that mullets leap more when the water is lower in oxygen, but is challenged by the likelihood that jumping costs more energy than is gained by breathing air. It is hard to imagine they will feel any fresher when back in water.Might these fishes also be leaping for fun? There is some new evidence. Gordon M. Burghardt recently published accounts of a dozen types of fishes leaping repeatedly, sometimes over floating objects—sticks, plants, sunning turtle—for no clear reason other than entertainment.12. What can we say about the dolphins in Paragraph 1?A. They have great escaping skills.B. They are easily frightened.C. They are very clever.D. They love jumping.13. What do the ray and the mullet have in common when jumping?A. Both do it in groups.B. Both land on their bellies.C. Both jump many feet out of water.D. Both make leaps one after the other.14. How does the author feel about the idea mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. It is valuable.B. It is interesting.C. It is imaginative.D. It is questionable.15. Which may be the reason for fish leaps according to the author?A. To remove parasites.B. To amuse themselves.C. To take in more oxygen.D. To express positive emotions.第二节 (一共(yīgòng)5小题；每一小题2.5分，满分是1分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。
