2019-2020学年江苏省南通中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案
2019-2020学年江苏省南通中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AAmid the coronavirus outbreak, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security recommends having at least a two - week supply of water and food.PotatoesShelf life：2 to 5 weeks if stored in a cool, dry, dark placeYukon Gold, red, and fingerling potatoes will last from two to three weeks. Larger white potatoes can last for three to five weeks. Sweet potatoes have about the same shelf life. Don't store them next to onions, however. The two might go together well in cooking, but raw, each gives off gases and moisture that might cause the other to spoil faster.Tea※Shelf life：6 to 12 months past "sell - by" dateDried tea leaves, whether loose (in a sealed container) or in teabags (in an unopened box) can easily last a year or more if they' re not subjected to damp or humidity. However, the tea does tend to lose flavor over time.Peanuts● Shelf life：1 to 2 monthsPeanuts in their shell, especially when kept cool and dry, are perfectly happy in the cupboard for as long as two months.Canned fruits and vegetables● Shelf life：1 to 2 years past "sell - by” dateCanningis an extremely efficient means of preserving food. Generally speaking, if canned foods aren't subjected to extreme heat, their contents should stay good for two years or more. Be aware, however, of dented cans or those with swollen tops, which may indicate the presence of bacteria inside.1. Which can go bad faster if stored with onions?A. Potatoes.B. Tea.C. Peanuts.D. Canned fruits and vegetables.2. What is special about tea?A. The flavor of tea can always remain the same.B. Tea leaves are better to be preserved in an open jar.C. Tea leaves should be kept away from the state of being wet.D. The maximum length of time that tea can be stored is 6 months.3. What may shorten the "sell - by” date of canned foods ?A. Shapes of cans.B. Categories of foods.C. Decline of the temperature.D. Exposure to high temperature.BOver 180 teenage girls from LixianCounty No. 1 Middle School in Longnan city, Gansu province, listened carefully to a lecture about neuroscience (神经科学). It was delivered by a director of the experimental surgery department at The Second Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University in Xi’an.The students also joined a science class to make paper rockets to launch into the sky. A plastic bottle was connected with a long pipe joined to the end of the rocket, and students stepped heavily on the middle of the bottle so hard that the air pressure shot the rocket upward.The program started in 2016 as a one-week summer camp in Beijing that invited female students to take science courses and to interact with women in science. It aims to stir (激发) an interest in science and technology among female students.“I’m excited to take the opportunity because it’s been my biggest wish to popularize science among students. They can broaden their eyes and hopefully some of them will devote themselves to the field of neuroscience,” the director says. “It’s necessary to bring more of these activities on campus. I’m willing to communicate with teenagers, some of whom ask deep and thoughtful questions that I would never think of.”The key to science popularization is to imbue (灌输) others with the spirit of science. Some scientific and technological workers have devoted themselves to a job in a certain field and they enjoy the pleasure of scientific research. Female Chinese scientific and technological workers sometimes have to double their efforts to receive the same treatment or recognition as those male scientific workers. However, after years of continued effort, the situation will improve, showing the increasing number of female scientists in China.4. What is the purpose of the program?A. To praise the efforts of women scientists.B. To find out how much girls love science.C. To develop interest in science among girls.D. To show love for students in Western China.5. How does the director think of the program?A. Important.B. Challenging.C. Confusing.D. Serious.6. What is the most important in science popularization?A. Enjoying the fun of scientific research.B. Filling people with the spirit of science.C. Holding more scientific activities on campus.D. Forcing students to choose scientific subjects.7. What can we learn from the text?A. One can go anywhere if he/she learns science well.B. People have a stronger sense of science than before.C. Male scientists are much easily recognized than female ones.D. Thedirector graduated from Lixian County No. 1 Middle School.CMy friend and I went traveling inTasmania,Australialast December. We settled in our Airbnb accommodation, a cozy apartment, not long after we arrived inHobart, the capital city.After briefing us on the kitchen's facilities and the whereabouts of the bedroom and bathroom, our hostess Geraldine resumed her ironing work, which seemed to have been interrupted by our arrival.She was ironing what looked like security guard uniforms, and we soon found out that she worked in a local prison. And when she detected the curiosity in our tones, she offered a tour at the prison in her SUV. My friend and I exchanged a “this is incredible” look and said “yes” immediately.As we drove, she told us about the buildings that we were passing, the local market and how to get to MONA,Tasmania's well-known contemporary art gallery.And of course we got to hear some background information about the prison. According to our hostess, it currently holds Martin Bryant, a notorious criminal who cheated 35 people out of their property. We could see the high level of security from the layers upon layers of wires surrounding the gray structure inside.Getting to know a city in such a local way is something I would never be able to do by talking to a hotel receptionist, and this is what I like best about the apartment-sharing experience, not to mention the fact that it's usually cheaper than hotel rooms.But I'm fully aware of the risks of Airbnb, which is why I did my homework before booking online—I checkedthe reviews of the accommodation to avoid possible safety problems.That said, it is the mutual trust between a host and a guest that fascinates me—the interesting feeling of building a bond with a total stranger.8. Why did the hostess drive us to the prison?A. She planned to send the uniform to the prison.B. She found our curiosity about the prison.C. She wanted to show off her SUV.D. She needed to offer a tour for us.9. Which of the following can best explain the word “notorious” in Paragraph 5?A. Unfamiliar to everyone.B. Particularly disappointing.C. Well known for being bad.D. Extremely generous to others.10. Compared with hotels, what is the writer's favorite of the Airbnb accommodation?A. It is cheaper in most cases.B. It supplies a better living condition.C. It offers a much safer accommodation.D. It provides a chance to know local culture.11. What does the author think of finding accommodation on Airbnb?A. Disapproving.B. Supportive.C. Neutral.D. Doubtful.DWith graduation days being celebrated all over the country, a student who has to use a wheelchair honored his mother on his graduation day in a special way. Easley High School graduate, Alex Mays surprised people present when he got up and walked across the stage at Clemson's Littlejohn Coliseum.“I was really happy—it made me feel good,” Alex said.Alex was not given a chance to live right from his birth. He was born at 25 weeks and weighed just 1 pound, 10 ounces at birth. When he was very young, he had a disease and lost the ability to walk. After his mother's death in 2013, Alex had several other difficult life changes until he came to live with his grandparents, Dousay and her husband, Dewayne. Dousay said that when Alex came to live with them, they decided to bring him up in the best possible way they could.Last fall, Alex said that he would walk across the stage to get his diploma to honor his late mother. He practiced hard and worked with a physical therapist for 9 months to complete his plan.The only help Alex got was from his mom's best friend, Tonya Johnson, who pushed his wheelchair to the stage wearing one of his mother's favorite shirts. “I had support from my family. I couldn't have done it without them,” Alex said.“Alex made everyone in the building feel encouraged that day” Pickens County School District public information specialist John Eby said. “The school teachers knew he was going to get up to get his diploma, but the distance he walked was a surprise, even to them,” Eby said.“Some of life's most important tests aren’t given in a classroom; Alex tested himself and passed with flying color1 s,” Eby added.12. In what way did Alex honor his late mother on his graduation day?A. By dressing like her.B. By saying sorry to her.C. By inviting her best friend.D. By walking to get his diploma.13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Alex was born healthy.B. Alex went through a lot.C. Alex had a purpose in life as a child.D. Alex has lived with his grandparents all the time.14. What did Alex also express on his graduation day?A. His big regret in life.B. His feelings for hisschool.C. His thanks for his family.D. His will to complete his study.15. Which of the following words can best describe Alex?A. Strong-minded.B. Warm-hearted.C. Cool-headed.D. Easy-going.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。

2019-2020学年江苏省南通中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案
2019-2020学年江苏省南通中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AWhat to Eat—and What to Skip—When It Comes to Takeout FoodIf the burden on your wallet doesn't bother you much, the effect your takeout habit can have on your waistline just might arouse your attention. Here's the best and worst of the lot for your belly.Steamed Vegetable Dumplings: Order This.When she orders Chinese, registered dietitian nutritionist Elisa Zied gets an order of steamed vegetable dumplings. "I often pair them with either chicken and broccoli in brown sauce（I ask for a little saucemade without sugar）or steamed shrimp dumplings," she tells us.Crab Wontons: Not That!When you deconstruct crab wontons, it's easy to see why they're a "Not That!" The inside is filled with crabmeat and cream cheese（which is just a fancy, spreadable fat）.The wonton is made of refined flour, egg and salt and the crispy（脆的）coating is a result of a deep oil bath.Peking Duck: Order This.Most of the fat from the skin flows out of the duck over the course of cooking, making this a healthier choice than most of the stir-fry dishes available. Order a side of steamed vegetables and serve it with a small scoop of brown rice. Done and done!Sweet and Sour Anything: Not That!Anything with “sweet and sour” in its title is a powerful cue that something has been deep-fried and covered in a sickly-sweet pink sauce. If you pair your selection with a side of rice, you're looking at a 1,000-calorie meal.Summer Roll: Order This.Summer rolls are steamed instead of fried—and typically filled with lean proteins and vegetables, making them a winning appetizer in our book. Pair them with an order of edamame（毛豆）and a broth-based soup for a satisfying, filling meal.Spring Roll: Not That!Spring=deep-fried, which is why we say to skip them! They're filled with fat and calories your belly doesn't need.1.What kind of cooking method should be skipped according to the text?A.Steaming.B.Stir-frying.C.Deep-frying.D.Boiling.2.Which of the following suits as a good starter for a meal?A.Chicken and broccoli.B.Steamed vegetable dumplings.C.Peking duck.D.Summer rolls.3.Where can the text be found?A.In a recipe.B.In a guidebook.C.In a science fiction.D.In a health magazine.BLast summer, I spent four months working in France, where the company I was working for put me up in a house that didn’t have Wi-Fi. I wasn’t looking forward to it.I soon discovered, however, that living in a house without Wi-Fi was easier than I expected.Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the odd text message here and there. I couldn’t enjoy my usual web browsing on BBC iPlayer, social media sites, keeping up to date with the news, or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.I didn’t, however, spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi-Fi network. It was only a five minute walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my own leisure. It made me think , though , how unnecessary it can be , how unnecessarily we rely on it—how we perhaps rely on it too much. As a person, I was more sociable. I spent more time with my housemates instead of hiding behind a computer screen. I did other things that I wouldn’t necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure. I read more, I cooked meals for my friends, and I even tidied up more often. Dare I say it; I learned how to live without Wi-Fi. Dare I say it; I found it was easier than I had imagined.4. What was the writer’s first feeling when finding her house had no Wi-Fi?A. Unexpected.B. Angry.C. Shocked.D. Depressed.5. How did the writer keep in touch with her friends and family without Wi-Fi?A. By writing regularly.B. By text message.C. By video calls.D. By telegram.6. What was the writer’s life like without Wi-Fi?A. Dull.B. Lonely.C. Active.D. Relaxing.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A life without Wi-FiB. Different views on the InternetC. The disadvantages of Wi-FiD. How to use the InternetCGuangzhououtbreak linked to strains inIndiaThe gene sequencing of the COVID-19 outbreak inGuangzhou.Guangdongprovince, indicates it is very similar in structure to the mutatedstrains detected inIndia, a senior health official from the city said on Sunday.“And it has the characteristic of quick spread.” Chen Bin, deputy director of the city's health commission, said at a news conference inGuangzhouon Sunday.She urged relevant departments and medical staff to act quickly to block the chain of infection and control the spread of the coronavirus in the southern metropolis.Zhang Zhoubin, deputy director of theGuangzhoucenter for disease control and prevention, said the strain of coronavirus spreads easily.“The virus can be spread through a meal or through a short period of indirect contact,” he said.The city reported five confirmed eases and 21 asymptomatic carriers as of 2 pm Sunday after the first con finned case was detected in the city's Liwan district on May 21, Chen said.To prevent the virus from spreading, the city government tightened its disease control and prevention measures over the weekend. Six communities and housing estates previously designated as low-risk areas were raised to medium-risk ones, Chen said.In addition to asking local residents to get vaccinated, the city has organized nucleic acid testing in Haizhu and Yuexiu districts starting from Sunday. Residents in specific areas of Tianhe, Baiyun and Panyu districts have also been required to take nucleic acid tests to expand the screening of suspected patients and asymptomatic carriers.Liwan previously required all its residents to take nucleic acid tests.As of Saturday, more than 2-25 million residents of the city have had samples collected for nucleic acid tests, Chen said. More than 10,000 medical workers from the entire city have been sent to Liwan to help vaccinate locals against COVID-19 and collect samples for nucleic acid testing.Deng Wenjun, director of circulation section with Guangzhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative, said there are sufficient supplies of food and daily necessities in the medium-risk areas.8. What is the characteristic of the COVID-19 which broke out inGuangzhou?A. It disappears quickly.B. It spreads fast.C. It has a lot to do with temperature.D. It has the same nature as the seasonal flu.9. Which district have residents who have not been required to take nucleic acid tests?A. Tianhe.B. Haizhu.C. Panyu.D. Zengcheng.10.

All the people living in Liwan district arc previously asked to take nucleic acid tests.D. Supplies of food and daily necessities in the medium-risk areas arc still not enough.11. Where can you probably find this article?A. On a news website.B. In a fashion magazine.C. In a history book.D. In a travel journal.DMany of us in China enjoy adding chilies (辣椒) toour food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-oldUSman recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper—the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following few days, reported BBC News.In fact, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But if chilies are harmful, why is it that human beings are the only animals to eat this vegetable? According to the website Huanqiu, about 600 million Chinese people—almost half of the national population—are chili eaters. So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body reacts to the burning feeling that comes from eating chilies by releasing natural chemicals that “produce a sense of happiness” , noted BBC News.And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The number decreased to 14 percent for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. And another study done by theUniversityofVermontcame to a similar conclusion. “The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and reduce death risk at an early age,” Liu Qi, a nutritionist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, told BBC News.Chilies have anti-cancer quality and the ability to increase our metabolism (新陈代谢). So, don't worry if youlove spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us—except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps.12. The example of a 34-year-old American is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to prove ________.A. chiliescan be beneficialB. chilies are popular inAmericaC. chilies can be dangerousD. serious headaches can be dangerous13. Eating chilies gives people a sense of happiness by_______.A. decreasing death rateB. releasing natural chemicalsC. curing serious headachesD. providing enough nutrition14. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Human are the only animals to eat chilies.B. Stomachache and headaches caused by chilies is something unusual.C. The more chilies you eat, the healthier you are.D. Chilies have anti-cancer quality but it can't increase our metabolism.15. The writer wrote the passage to ________.A. warn people of the dangers of chiliesB. ask people to eat Carolina ReaperC. encourage people to eat more chiliesD. tell people the benefits of chilies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。

In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.”In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to practice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years. They in turn supported her application to the New England Female Medical College, where she was awarded a state- funded scholarship.Crumpler worked hard at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to attend to her sick husband, who unfortunately passed away in 1863. Months later, Crumpler returned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members (教员) expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework andwere hesitant to let her come back. Luckily, with several of the school’s sponsors supporting her, Crumpler finally received a “Doctress of Medicine” from college, and began seeing patients in and around her house, treating them regardless of their ability to pay.In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of practice. A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their children, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientific American describes it as the forerunner of the famous What to Expect When You’ re Expecting (1984). 4．What inspired Crumpler to take up medicine?A．The influence of her aunt.B．The desire to help the poor.C．Her family’s encouragement.D．The doctors’ financial support.5．Which of the following can best describe Crumpler?A．Humorous and easygoing.B．Caring and determined.C．Adventurous and sensitive.D．Optimistic and honest.6．Why did some teachers attempt to reject Crumpler’s returning to school?A．Her family couldn’t afford her education.B．She failed to follow the school regulations.C．They felt negative about her determination.D．They doubted her ability to finish her study.7．What do people think of Crumpler’s book according to the last paragraph?A．Inspiring but unrealistic.B．Accessible and interesting.C．Educational but complicated.D．Groundbreaking and practical.The estimated number of monarch butterflies migrating (迁徙) to Mexico for winter has reached its second - lowest level ever for the 2023 to 2024 overwintering season. The estimate, based on the size of the butterflies’ hibernating forest area, has dropped by about 59% from the previous year, according to officials.Experts are pointing to extensive heat and drought as well as climate change for the major decline. Now monarch butterflies face three primary threats, including habitat loss for their breeding and overwintering; the use of pesticides, which can be toxic (有毒的) to the butterflies or can kill their food source, milkweed; and climate change, which can shift their migratory patterns. By the 2022 to 2023 overwintering season, World Wildlife Fund reported a 22% drop in theamount of overwintering monarch butterflies in Mexico.According to WWF, monarch butterflies once covered about 45 acres of forested land in Mexico during their 1996 to 1997 overwintering season. Last year, they covered 5.5 acres. With the 59% decline, the 2023 overwintering season saw the butterflies covering just 2.2 acres, The Associated Press reported. The lowest coverage ever recorded was 1.65 acres from 2013 to 2014. The largest amount of butterflies observed for the current overwintering season were around the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.“This is not the first time we’ve observed changes in the locations of the largest monarch colonies,” Jorge Rickards, general director of WWF Mexico, said in a statement. “It’s telling us that we need to strengthen conservation and restoration measures not only in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, but also outside of it.” According to the Center for Biological Diversity, monarch butterflies have declined by 85% in the past 20 years. The eastern monarch butterflies migrate from Canada and the U. S. to Mexico for overwintering. Western monarchs, which overwinter in California, have declined 99% in the past two decades.In 2020, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service noted that these butterflies do warrant protections under the Endangered Species Act, but there were higher-priority species to consider for listing. Biologist Ryan Drum, who works with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, told The Associated Press that the latest count would be considered this year when officials consider whether to list migratory monarch butterflies as threatened or even endangered.8．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．More butterflies are migrating to Mexico.B．The number of butterflies is getting larger.C．The size of forest area is decreasing faster.D．Monarch butterflies are facing survival crisis.9．How does the author show us the gravity of the problem concerning monarch butterflies?A．By listing concrete numbers.B．By describing typical scenes.C．By interviewing some scientists.D．By making reasonable predictions.10．What does Jorge Rickards suggest people do?A．Increase the number of the butterfly reserves.B．Observe the changing number of the butterflies.C．Take more actions to protect the butterflies.D．Distinguish eastern butterflies from western ones.11．What does the underlined word “warrant” mean in the last paragraph?A．Resist.B．Need.C．Support.D．Provide.A modern problem of the outdoor lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be rather heavy. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices.Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container.This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet.“Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies.The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design,two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.”12．What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text?A．It is intelligent and works efficiently.B．It is user- friendly but expensive to buy.C．It is sustainable and convenient to carry.D．It is cost- effective but breaks down easily. 13．What kind of people might need the Shine Turbine most according to the text?A．Emergency rescuers.B．Sea surfboarders.C．Rock- climbing lovers.D．Geological explorers.14．Why do the researchers create the Shine Turbine?A．Their product obtains financial support.B．They want to gain direct access to wind.C．They attempt to prevent global warming.D．Their desired life promotes green rethink. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Wind: the world’s second clean energy.B．Aurea Technologies: innovative pioneers C．The Shine Turbine: a green power product D．Outdoor lovers: environmentcampaignersGetting information out of a teenage boy can be difficult. The communication at this age features short answers to every question, a complete lack of eye contact. 16 Here are some ways for parents and other caregivers to learn how to talk to boys about their mental health.Many male teens don’t often show as much emotion or even give as many clues through body language. This requires parents and care providers to be much more attentive to facial expressions, and to the few words that they say. As parents, you need to talk less and listen more. Active listening will help earn his trust. 1718 Negative messages such as “Grow up.” or “Be a man.” send a message that being weak is wrong or that it’s not okay to feel what they are feeling. These types of messages keep boys from sharing their feelings.As a parent, a good way for any kind of personal or emotional question is to ask twice, but not too many times. The first time lets him know that you are interested; the second time shows that you care. 19 The bonds between parents and teenagers are proven to reduce anxiety and depression.Moreover, when a teen boy is willing to communicate, don’t interrupt. If you don’t let him finish talking, he may stop talking altogether. 20 When he’s ready to listen to you, let him know you will be with him together.A．Frank communication requires acceptance.B．Over time, he will be more likely to open up.C．Even if what you’ re hearing is scary, stay calm.D．Their eyes roll when you ask them about their life.E．Parents need to know more about male mental health.F．Communication is effective in the process of exercising.G．Showing concern and respect for personal space allows close ties.二、完形填空Last week I attended my aunt’s funeral (葬礼).

According to new health guidelines, even a minute or two of physical exercise is better than nothing: just walking upstairs and down again, before continuing your otherwise entirely sofa﹣based afternoon of crisps and television, makes for a healthier life than if you hadn't bothered． The previous recommendation was for a 10﹣minute minimum, but for years' the general direction of research has been toward the conclusion that there is no minimum at all． This doesn't just go for exercise, either． Five minutes in nature can boost your mental health; and while one daily serving of vegetables may be too few, it's definitely preferable to zero． If you are wondering whether or not some tiny but healthful activity isworth it, the answer almost always, is yes．It's a little strange actually, that this is even a topic of debate． Of course anything is better than nothing． For one thing, it's a good start for building habits． For another, tiny actions are valuable in themselves． Human bodies aren't digital devices, and health generally isn't a matter of reaching fixed thresholds （门槛）; what is good for the organism in large quantities is usually good in smaller ones, too．The real reason for the debate is not that the facts are in dispute （争议）．It's that information is dangerous． When public bodies recommend^ say, a 10﹣minute minimum, it's because they worry that if they don't, people who might otherwise have exercised for 10 minutes will stop after two．Even this column risks making things worse． If you had truly been planning to spend all day on the sofa, perhaps I have inspired you to take a five﹣minute walk; but if there is a chance that you would have gone to the gym for an hour, reading these words might persuade you to settle for the stroll （散步）instead．Ideally, we would stop thinking about healthy behaviours in terms of minimums: within reason, you should be doing as much exercise as you can, not as little as you can get away with﹣while remembering that nothing is too minor to be not worth the bother． This is a sensible approach to much of life, I would say, from being a good friend or paying attention to your kids, to saving money or reducing your environmental impact． However much you do, it will never be enough． But that is not a reason to do nothing﹣on the contrary, it' s a reason to do something．（1）Tiny healthy actions are worthwhile because________．A they contribute to good habits and healthB they provide abundant choices for fitnessC they add a new dimension to people's livesD they are easily conducted in people's daily lives．（2）Why don public bodies recommend a minimum time for exercise？________A People have their own concept of time．B It contradicts with new health guidelines．C There is a lack of scientific research on it．D People may misinterpret its real intentions．．（3）What does the writer want to stress in the passage？________A Life lies in movement．B All roads lead to Rome．C Actions speak louder than words．D Anything is better than nothing．19. We like to think that the human mind is special． One sign of our superiority is self﹣awareness, which is generally seen as the peak of consciousness． Only a select group of species has passed the test of being able to recognise themselves in amirror． Most, including elephants, apes and dolphins, are smart． But now a littlefish, the cleaner wrasse has become the first fish ever to pass the mirror test﹣﹣a classic experiment used to judge self﹣awareness in animals． What are we to make of this?Admittedly, the mirror test is a questionable way of probing （探究）the minds of other animals． But the finding does fit with a new idea that the ability to recognise oneself is more related to an animal's lifestyle than to its brain size． Self﹣awareness is likely to occurin creatures whose survival is dependent on reading the minds of others． In fact, by this way of thinking, it is nothing more than an accidental by﹣product of evolution a simulation （模拟）created by the brain, or even just a hall of mirrors giving the illusion of complexity． The cleaner wrasse lives on coral reefs and provides a service by biting parasites （寄生虫）off the scales of bigger fish gently, a delicate relationship that may require insight into the minds of its clients． Such "theory of mind" has long been seen as another cornerstone of human mental superiority． The possibility that fish possess it is not, however, the only threat to our human exceptionalism （例外）．It may not be long before computers________, too．Researchers have created a set of tests to look for theory of mind in artificial intelligence﹣and some systems are on the point of passing． No AIs have passed the tests yet, but one got extremely close． We probably don't need to worry about robots that can recognise themselves in mirrors． But we might want to be more open to the idea that human intelligence isn't quite as special as we like to think．（1）What can we learn from the mirror test？________A Mammals have a more adaptive body system．B A species of fish is capable of self﹣recognition．C The human mind is just as special as expected．D Humans have reached the peak of consciousness．．（2）According to the passage， self﹣awareness________．A is formed during evolution by chanceB isn't a hall of mirrors but asimulation D reflects the typical mental complexity．（3）The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means "________"．A bring us huge profitsB cost us a lot of moneyC have great control overus D challenge our exceptionalism．（4）What's the main idea of the passage？________A Fish possess no level of intelligence．B Humans are not unique inintelligence． C AIs will be able to understand our thoughts． D Self﹣awareness isa big mystery of the mind．．20.When I went home to the little country town after my dad's death, I found myself wondering how kids could ever repay all their parents have done for them.After Dad's funeral a woman came up to me and said, "I just got to tell you how much your daddy meant to our family. He kept my two boys out of jail."，Then she burst into tears. Dad was an officer of the police force and there wasn't a more loved man anywhere. He would make about $12 a week, and he was always giving away some of that. With Dad giving away his money we never had much cash around the house. Mother didn't complain—she justwent to work. She got a job as a waitress in a restaurant 14 hours a day, seven days a week. But Mother was glad to do it because she had a dream. "Your daddy and I want you young ones to make something of yourselves," she'd say to me and to my two sisters.So when I graduated, I had a debt to pay. I was starting out with love and sacrifice behind me. To make it all worth their while, I was determined to accomplish great things. But it didn't work out that way. I had hoped for a job in advertising. So I packed a suitcase, borrowed a few dollars and moved to New York to start my career. I never once got past the receptionist's desk. I tried everything I could think of to be with less shyness and country. I bought myself some clothes like the gray uniform I saw everywhere. I had my hair cut city-style. I even worked at perfecting an eastern accent. But it didn't do any good. I ended up with a job as a typist.I was almost 30 and I'd achieved exactly zero. It was the low point of my life, as far as self-confidence went. And yet, strangely enough, that time was a high point too. I learned to put a name on a feeling I'd struggled with so many years. It was guilt because I had not repaid my parents' investment in me. I came to understand we repay our parents not by "succeeding", but by becoming the completed persons who they intend us to be. The day I put them in the center of my life was the day I took that first step toward becoming a whole person.Then a funny thing happened. When I stopped trying so hard to win success, I relaxed and became plain Jim Nabors from a little country town in Alabama. I dropped the eastern accent.I dressed the way I wanted. I began doing some of the crazy things I'd always wanted to do, like going to an amateur show nights after work and putting on a little comedy. Hometown folks used to say I had a good singing voice so in my comedy I had this country boy suddenly sing in Grand Opera. The audience had as much fun as I did. Then one night Andy Griffith was sitting out front. After the show he asked me to read for a part on his TV program, and I have been in show business ever since.The person least impressed at this change is Mother. She comes out to California, off and on, to cook for me. She's glad I'm steadily employed, of course, but she still puts the money I sent her in a special bank account in my name, "just in case". It's a good precaution. In Hollywood they say you've arrived when they name a sandwich after you. Sure enough, there's a Jim Nabors' Special for sale. But I notice that my name on the menu board is pasted over the name of another actor who "arrived" just a few years ago, and I'm sure someday someone else's name will be pasted over mine.（1）Which of the following does the writer agree with according to the second paragraph?A His father used his power to stop the woman's sons from being punished.B His father spared twelve dollars every week to help the poor ones in need.C His mother worked hard without complaint for the children's future success.D His mother quarreled with his father about the cash and housework frequently.（2）From the

mother of successC a wholeperson was the best return to his parents D the best reward to parents was to earn much money（4）What contributed to the writer's success according to the passage?A His appearance.B His personality.C His accent.D His rich experiences.（5）The writer mentioned "a sandwich" in the last paragraph to show us that ______.A his mother took good care of himB his success came and might go quicklyC his mother saved every penny for himD his favorite was a special sandwich（6）The primary purpose of the passage is to tell us ______.A the best way to repay our parents for their sacrificesB being ourselves is the key to achieving success in lifeC it is parents' love not our success that cannotchange D why we should give our thanks to our parents sincerely四、任务型阅读21.The things we can really learn from booksIt's believed that everything you need to know you can find in a book． People have always received life﹣guiding wisdom from certain types of non﹣fiction， often from "self﹣ help" books． But actually all sorts of books can carry this kind of wisdom． A random sentence in a thriller will give you unexpected insight．It is also believed that there is no book so bad that you can't find something of interest in it． That， actually， is a paraphrase （释义）from the Roman lawyer Pliny the Younger，a viewpoint later adopted by Miguel de Cervantes in Don Quixote． Admittedly， neither Pliny nor Cervantes were subject to some of the weakest "sex and shopping$^{"}$ books from the 1980s， but people still think it mostly holds true． You can learn something from the very worst books﹣even if it is just how crass （粗鲁的）and base， or boring and petty （琐碎的），or cruel and intolerant the human race can be．There is a proud tradition of extracting （摘录）lines from poetry and songs and using them in this way． But not everyone is a fan of cherry﹣picking odd passages from random books and using them to direct your life． Some people argue that lines from novels and plays are dependent on what surrounds them﹣that it's improper and self﹣serving to grab the odd line here and there． Others don't buy this． It ignores the way that your brain collects，refracts^ sorts and combines information． We can find meaning in everything﹣﹣ and everything is fair game．We overschedule our days and complain constantly about being too busy； we keep up with hundreds of acquaintances but rarely see our best friends； we bombard ourselves with video clips and emails and instant messages； we even interrupt our interruptions．Books are uniquely suited to helping us change our relationship to the rhythms and habits of daily life in this world． We can't interrupt them； we can only interrupt ourselves while reading them． They speak to us， thoughtfully， one at a time． They demand attention ﹣they demand that we briefly put aside our work at hand and listen to someone else． Youcan rant （咆哮）against a book， scribble （涂鸦）in the margin， or even throw it outthe window． Still， you won't change the words on the page．We all ask each other a lot of questions： "How did you sleep？$^{\operatorname{""}}$Where did you go on your holidays？$^{"}$ But there's one question we should ask of one another a lot more often， and that is： "What are you reading？" When we ask one another that， we sometimes discover the ways we are similar；sometimes the ways that we are different． "What are you reading？$^{"}$isn't a simple question when asked with genuine curiosity； it' s really a way of finding out， "Who areyou now and who are you becoming？"五、读写任务22. 请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．Is youth lingo ruining the Chinese language？Young people often create their own language that goes beyond rigid linguistic rules． This year's latest slang （俚语） terms add a further simplification： the use of pinyin acronyms （首字母缩略词）． "Awsl，" in pinyin， for instance，means "Ah， wo si le" （Oh， I'm gonna die）， and is used if something is too cute or adorable to bear． "Pyq" stands for$^{"}$pengyou quan"，the social feed on the popular Chinese social media app WeChat，and "nsdd" stands for "ni shuo de dui" （you're right）．Teens want to be different from their parents， so it's natural for them to create and usetheir own linguistic terms to show that． In doing so， young people are indeed driving linguistic change． They aren't the only factor influencing language development， but they can indeed transform how future generations communicate．Critics fear that Chinese internet slang will have the potential to negatively influence broader linguistic trends of Mandarin Chinese， in particular， the gradual taking over of pinyin． As pinyin gets widely used when texting or writing on mobile phone or computer，while less and less people write characters by hand， people gradually forget how to write them． The phenomenon has got a name in China： Character amnesia （健忘症）【写作内容】1．用约30个单词概述上文年轻人使用网络语言的现象；2．用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：谈谈你的看法，并用2〜3个理由或论据支撑你的看法．【写作要求】1．写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3．不必写标题．内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当．2020届江苏省南通市高三第一次调研英语试题答案1.

2020年江苏省南通中学高三英语一模试卷及答案
2020年江苏省南通中学高三英语一模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AWhen the weather is bad or when the flu breaks out, we can let the kids do some fun things at home, which can be beneficial to kids.Reading out loudIf your children are young enough, don't forget to read books to them out loud! Few children dislikehaving a good book read to them, and it's great for the development of their brains. However, if your children are a bit older and have moved onto more advanced books, there is always the choice of listening to an audiobook. This can also be done while they're doing something else.Playing board gamesMaybe your children's table is full of board games, which have been forgotten for a long time. It's a good time to bring them out when playing outside is no longer a choice. Surely, playing board games is a great way to connect with children. In addition, many board games are designed to get children thinking!Having a dance partyConsidering that all you need is a speaker or maybe just a phone, you can have a dance party wherever you are! This is a great way to get kids’ bodies moving when they are inside. Play some of your children's favorite music and let them dance to it. Not only is it good exercise, but it will help your children feel time is flying!Doing jigsaw (拼图) puzzlesFor most people that have children, it's common to have at least one jigsaw puzzle at home. Jigsaw puzzles are great because everyone can do them on their own time. Besides, your whole family will have a sense of achievement when everyone is smiling over the finished product.1. What do reading out loud and playing board games have in common?A. They both develop children's team spirit.B. They both improve children's listening ability.C. They both do good to children's thinking ability.D. They both focus on interaction between children.2. Which of the following combines exercise and music?A. Reading out loud.B. Playing board games.C. Doing jigsaw puzzles.D. Having a dance party.3. What is the purpose of the text?A. To list four interesting children's parties.B. To recommend four children's favorite books.C. To introduce some activities for children inside.D. To show some funny things for children outside.BKamikatsu, a small town in Japan, has shown the world that our garbage has far-reaching effects, and not just on our environment.Theexperiment in going zero waste started when the town built a new incinerator 20 years ago. But almost immediately, the incinerator was determined to be a health risk due to the poisonous gases when garbage was burned in it. It was too expensive to send waste to other towns, so locals had to come up with a new plan. Then the Zero Waste Academy was born, which helped perform this plan.Now Kamikatsu people separate their waste into 45 different categories. But in the beginning, it wasn't easy to convince local people to do all this work, and there was somepushback. Only after that initial education period did most residents come on board.This is all great news for waste reduction of course, but it has also had some unexpected social benefits as well. Like much of Japan, Kamikatsu's population is aging, and about 50 percent of the locals are elderly. The fact that the whole community takes their trash in to be recycled has created a local action and interaction between generations.That idea has been purposefully expanded to include a circular shop where household goods are dropped off and others can take them, and a tableware "library" where people can borrow extra cups, glasses, silverware and plates for celebrations."The elderly see this not as a waste-collection service, but an opportunity to socialize with the younger generation and to chat. When we visit them, they prepare lots of food and we stay with them for a while, we ask how they are," Sakano, the founder of the Zero Waste Academy, said.Sakano's ideas are truly revolutionary if you think about it. She's proving that community can be found through handling the stuff we no longer want and need.4. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?A. What harmful effects garbage burning has.B. Why garbage sorting is necessary in Japan.C. How the idea of zero waste was put forward.D. What the Zero Waste Academy functions as.5. What does the underlined word "pushback" probably mean?A. Inactive response.B. Generous reward.C. Bitter suffering.D. Beneficial guidance.6. What is a bonus of the zero waste project?A. Reducing waste.B. Creating community.C. Increasing people's income.D. Developing a new technology.7. Which part of a newspaper is this text most likely from?A. Technology.B. Health.C. Workplace.D. Lifestyle.CImagine that youare a superhero. Your superpowers are activated by a special suit. The suit communicates with your brain. It allows you to do amazing things with only a thought. By concentrating on strength, for example, you can kick a soccer ball across a field. By focusing on swift actions, you can jump to the top of a tree.Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy. To scientists, though, it is a very real goal. They are creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk. These machines may soon help disabled humans do the same. Unlike other bionic devices, these robotic “super suits” do not communicate with muscles and nerves. Instead, they have a direct line to the brain.In 2005, doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hutchinson, who had lost her right arm in an accident. Then they inserted a sensor onto her motor cortex (大脑皮层运动区). Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her head. After she recovered, researchers pluggedHutchinson’s receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain to computers. Then they connected a robotic arm to the computers. The computerscould interpretHutchinson’s brain signals to move the arm.Soon,Hutchinson, the computer, and the robotic arm became a team.Hutchinsonwas even able to lift her hand and drink from a cup. “She smiled when she put down that drink—that’s everything.” says Donoghue, a brain scientist.Today other scientists are building on that success. One of those scientists is Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, who designed a whole-body bionic equipment. In 2014, a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World CupGames wearing one of Miguel’s full-body exoskeletons.The exoskeleton was connected to brain signal sensors in the man’s cap. By thinking about kicking, he sent signals to a computer on his back. The computer then translated the signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick. Such designs may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.8.Which can best describe the tone of paragraph 1?A. Narrative and serious.B. Persuasive and critical.C. Informative and objective.D. Descriptive and imaginative.9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Reason of the experiment.B. Results of the experiment.C. Process of the experiment.D. Significance of the experiment.10. Why is Dr. Miguel’s exoskeleton special?A. It can be used on animals.B. It can move the whole body.C. It was supported by computers.D. It was connected directly to the brain.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Robotic suits may be widely used to help disabled people.B. Exoskeleton is more common thanHutchinson’s bionic arm.C.Scientific experiments are commonly carried out in football fields.D. Disabled athletes can now play football again with the help of computer.DThere is no such thing as a “safe" level of drinking, with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health, according to a new study.In an observational study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, researchers from the University of Oxford studied the relationship between the self-reported alcohol intake of some 25,000 people in the UK, and their brain scans. The researchers noted that drinking had an effect on the brain's gray matter-regions in the brain that make up "important bits where information is processed," according to leadauthor Anya Topiwala, a senior clinical researcher at Oxford.“The more people drank, the less the volume of their gray matter,“ Topiwala said via email. "Brain volume reduces with age and more severely with dementia(痴呆症).Smaller brain volume also predicts worse performance on memory testing,“ she explained. "While alcohol only made a small contribution to this(0. 8%), it was a greater contribution than other "modifiable" risk factors," she said, explaining that modifiable risk factors are “ ones you can do something about, in contrast to aging.”The team also investigated whether certain drinking patterns, beverage types and other health conditions made a difference to the impact of alcohol on brain health. They found that there was no "safe" level of drinking-meaning that consuming any amount of alcohol was worse than not drinking it. They also found no evidence that the type of drink— such as wine, spirits or beer—affected the harm done to the brain. However, certain characteristics, such as high blood pressure, obesity or binge-drinking, could put people at higher risk, researchers added.The risks of alcohol have long been known：Previous studies have found that there's no amount of liquor, wine or beer that is safe for your overall health. Alcohol was the leading risk factor for disease and premature death in men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide in 2016, accounting for nearly one in 10 deaths, according to a study published in The Lancet in 2018.“It has been known for decades that heavy drinking is bad for brain health," Sadie Boniface, head of research at the UK's Institute of Alcohol Studies, said via email. "We also shouldn't forget alcohol affects all parts of the body and there are multiple health risks. ”12. What is the function of gray matter?A. Control the mount of alcoholB. Process informationC. Scan the brainD. Predict the performance on memory13. Which is NOT true in the following statements according to the study?A. Drinking alcohol is worse than not drinking.B. With people getting older, brain volume reduces.C. Alcohol was the major risk factor for disease and premature death.D. The less people drink alcohol, the more the volume of their gray matter.14. Which is one of the "modifiable" risk factors?A. SmokingB. AgingC. DeathD. Disease15. What is the main idea of the text?A. The mount of alcohol is not related to people's health.B. People drinking alcohol do harm to their brain health.C. People drinking alcohol lead to dementia.D. Theresa great deal of liquor, wine or beer that is safe for health.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。

From five -wheeled cycles and rockets to a lioness and flintlock pistols （手枪），the award-winning Postal Museum offers a surprising and entertaining half day out for all ages.See a restored Mail Coach that thundered across 1800s Britain, get up close to the only existing sheets of the world5 s first postage stamp, the Penny Black, and explore Mail Rail—one of London's hidden gems—with a 15-minute ride through the underground tunnels of the Post Office5 s own 100-year-old railway.Forget what you think you know about the post and visit one of London's newest museums to discover just what it took to keep us all in touch.Know Before You Go• Mail Rail is a miniature railway designed to carry post, not peopl e. As such, it's not suitable for everyone and we^re unfortunately unable to accommodate wheelchair users on the ride itself.• The Postal Museum is open 10am-5pm every day (closed at Christmas).• Please ensure you arrive at least 15 minutes before the en d of the one-hour Mail Rail timeslot shown on your ticket. Failure to arrive on time may result in being unable to ride Mail Rail.• Re-entry is permitted any time between 10am and 4:30pm on the date stated on the ticket.36．A visitor to the Postal Museum will have the chance to .A．take the restored Mail CoachB．ride Mail Rail for 15 minutesC．get a copy of the Penny BlackD．hear an unusual story of the post37．From the advertisement, we can know that .A．re-entry is not permitted during the opening hoursB．the museum reduces the opening hours at ChristmasC．unpunctual visitors may not get the most out of the tourD．wheelchair users cannot ride Mail Rail without attendanceAccording to new health guidelines, even a minute or two of physical exercise is better than nothing: just walking upstairs and down again, before continuing your otherwise entirely sofa-based afternoon of crisps and television, makes for a healthier life than if you hadn' t bothered. The previous recommendation was for a 10-minute minimum, but for years’ the general direction of research has been toward the conclusion that there is no minimum at all. This doesn51 just go for exercise^ either. Five minutes in nature can boost your mental health; and while one daily serving of vegetables may be too few, it's definitely preferable to zero. If you are wondering whether or not some tiny but healthful activity is worth it, the answer^ almost always, is yes.It' s a little strange actually, that this is even a topic of debate. Of course anything is better than nothing. For one thing, it's a good start for building habits. For another, tiny actions are valuable in themselves. Human bodies aren't digital devices, and health generally isn't a matter of reaching fixed thresholds （门槛）；what is good for the organism in large quantities is usually good in smaller ones, too.The real reason for the debate is not that the facts are in dispute （争议）.It's that information is dangerous. When public bodies recommend^ say, a 10-minute minimum, it's because they worry that if they don't, people who might otherwise have exercised for 10 minutes will stop after two.Even this column risks making things worse. If you had truly been planning to spend all day on the sofa, perhaps I have inspired you to take a five-minute walk; but if there is a chancethat you would have gone to the gym for an hour, reading these words might persuade you to试卷第6页，总13页settle for the stroll （散步）instead.Ideally, we would stop thinking about healthy behaviours in terms of minimums: within reason, you should be doing as much exercise as you can, not as little as you can get away with —while remembering that nothing is too minor to be not worth the bother. This is a sensible approach to much of life, I would say, from being a good friend or paying attention to your kids, to saving money or reducing your environmental impact. However much you do9 it will never be enough. But that is not a reason to do nothing —on the contrary^ it' s a reason to do something.38．Tiny healthy actions are worthwhile because • A ．they contribute to good habits and health B ．they provide abundant choices for fitness C ．they add a new dimension to people , s lives D ．they are easily conducted in people 5 s daily lives39．Why don public bodies recommend a minimum time for exercise? A ．People have their own concept of time. B ．It contradicts with new health guidelines. C ．There is a lack of scientific research on it. D ．People may misinterpret its real intentions. 40．What does the writer want to stress in the passage? A ．Life lies in movement. B ．All roads lead to Rome. C ．Actions speak louder than words. D ．Anything is better than nothing.We like to think that the human mind is special. One sign of our superiority is self-awareness, which is generally seen as the peak of consciousness. Only a select group of species has passed the test of being able to recognise themselves in a mirror. Most, including elephants, apes and dolphins, are smart. But now a little fish, the cleaner wrasse has become the first fish ever to pass the mirror test ——a classic experiment used to judge self-awareness in animals. What are we to make of this?…………○………………○……Admittedly^ the mirror test is a questionable way of probing （探究）the minds of other animals. But the finding does fit with a new idea that the ability to recognise oneself is more related to an animal’s lifestyle than to its brain size. Self -awareness is likely to occur in creatures whose survival is dependent on reading the minds of others. In fact, by this way of thinking, it is nothing more than an accidental by-product of evolution^ a simulation （模拟）created by the brain, or even just a hall of mirrors giving the illusion of complexity.The cleaner wrasse lives on coral reefs and provides a service by biting parasites （寄 生虫）off the scales of bigger fish gently, a delicate relationship that may require insight into the minds of its clients. Such “theory of mind” has long been seen as anoth er cornerstone of human mental superiority. The possibility that fish possess it is not, however, the only threat to our human exceptionalism （例外）.It may not be long before computers give us a run for our money , too.Researchers have created a set of tests to look for theory of mind in artificialintelligence — and some systems are on the point of passing. No AIs have passed the tests yet, but one got extremely close. We probably don't need to worry about robots that can recognise themselves in mirrors. But we might want to be more open to the idea that human intelligence isn't quite as special as we like to think. 41．What can we learn from the mirror test? A ．Mammals have a more adaptive body system. B ．A species of fish is capable of self-recognition. C ．The human mind is just as special as expected. D ．Humans have reached the peak of consciousness. 42．According to the passage, self-awareness . A ．is formed during evolution by chance B ．corresponds with the size of the brain C ．isn't a hall of mirrors but a simulationD ．reflects the typical mental complexity43．The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means " A ．bring us huge profits B ．cost us a lot of money试卷第8页，总13页C ．have great control over usD ．challenge our exceptionalism 44．What' s the main idea of the passage? A ．Fish possess no level of intelligence. B ．Humans are not unique in intelligence. C ．AIs will be able to understand our thoughts. D ．Self-awareness is a big mystery of the mind.For me, Christmas was always complicated. As a child, it was joyful, yet a bit bittersweet. On the one hand, there was my Scottish mother, who went all -out for tradition. On the other hand, there was my Bengali （孟加拉）father. He was a reluctant participant in our Christmas celebration.To five-year-old me, the idea that someone might not love Christmas was unbelievable. It was years before I realised that my father’ s own childhood had been a Santa -free zone. I was vaguely aware of the Bengali equivalent （等同物）to Christmas. Every September or October, airmail parcels would arrive, and ambitious plans were hatched to acquire syrupycottage-cheese dumplings. But for me this was an addition to 25 December^ not a substitution.Matters were further complicated by my father 's job. After going to medical school in Kolkata, he had got a posting as a junior doctor at a hospital in Glasgow, where he met my mother, a nurse.（She gave up work after having children.） He often had to work on Christmas Day, which would make Mum angry. My sister and I were largely unaware of this tension, thrilled to go to work with Dad and see actual Santa visiting sick children on the wards.As the years went by, though, my father began to accept Christmas. He was promoted to consultant, so he didn't have to work on the day. Everyone was joyful. Somehow, the more Dad engaged with Christmas, the more I disliked it. It was as if happy atmosphere was one of the infectious diseases he specialised in —I had caught a terminal case” while he had gone on to make a full recovery.Things probably became worse in adulthood by the fact that bad events had a habit of happening to me at Christmas: losing a job, a breakup, a health emergency. My symptoms worsened and I gave up on sending cards or putting up decorations.But then, one day everything changed. In October 2012, my father died. He had been in good health; nothing could have prepared us for such a loss. I have no memory of Christmasthat year, except that it was the worst of my life.During that period,one of the only things that kept me sane （理智的）was weekly choir （唱诗班）practice. However, as anyone who has ever been in a choir knows, Christmas is non-negotiable.So I dragged myself out on that freezing night. The lights were sparkling; London had never looked so beautiful. I was totally lost in the music, so I started dancing, laughing and doing jazz hands, carrying on like the naughty 15-year-old chorister I had been at school.It was then that a woman approached me. "Hi,” she faltered （支吾），“You were wonderful up there—I wanted to thank you.” I made a joke about how we did n't sound as out of tune as normal, but she shook her head. “No, I wanted to thank you." I couldn't think what she meant. "Things aren't so good for me at the moment,” she told me.I looked at her more closely. What I saw in the woman5 s watery blue eyes was grief. It dawned on me then that while I missed my father very much, the loss had come after 48 years of his devoted attention. What I had was a rare gift. Because of it, I would find my way back to myself. Not everyone was that lucky.But the woman was still talking. “Seeing you up there having such a good time, it made me realise I've forgotten how to enjoy myself.” She made a show of jazz hands: "I'm going to remember to do this.”Six years on, I am the one buying wrapping paper in July and making my own Christmas cards. It might sound strange, but that generous conversation somehow gave me permission to get back to the serious business of enjoying life——and Christmas. Not only was it what my father would have wanted, but doing so could have a positive impact on others—even perfect strangers.45．Christmas was complicated for the author as a child because .A．it was celebrated at a different timeB．her parents couldn't afford decorationsC．her parents had their own social customsD．it was reduced to being abandoned in his family46．What was to blame for the author s tense parental relationship at Christmas?A．Mum's loss of job.B．A junior doctor's workload.C．Dad's absence from Christmas.试卷第10页，总13页D ．Children ' s curiosity about Santa.47．Why did the author have a negative feeling towards Christmas in her youth? A ．Her father' s change touched her. B ．She matured and lost interest in it. C ．She was infected with an incurable disease. D ．Her misfortunes always came with Christmas.48．What does the author mean by saying "Christmas is non-negotiable ” in Paragraph 7? A ．She changed her attitude towards Christmas. B ．She was fascinated with the merry atmosphere. C ．Her father ’ s sudden death was a heavy blow to her. D ．She had to join in the celebration as a choir member. 49．Why was the woman grateful to the author? A ．She was inspired by the author. B ．The author made her feel lucky. C ．The author taught her how to dance. D ．They were both in the same situation. 50．What can be learned from the last paragraph?A ．The woman' s remarks helped the author regain passion for life.B ．The author makes Christmas gifts with paper to make a living.C ．The author fails to live up to her father ' s high expectations.D ．Positive mind made little difference to people's well-being.第II 卷（非选择题)请点击修改第II 卷的文字说明 四、任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当 的单词。

She owns just five shirts, two pairs of trousers, four pairs of shoes, three books and a few other things. It’s hard to believe that only five years ago, Lin was one of those people who couldn’t stop buy ing things. Back then, she had more than 400 pieces of clothes and handbags. But that was before she saw an online challenge in 2014, introduced by Joshua Becker, a writer in the US who was promoting (推动) a minimalist lifestyle. He encouraged people to reduce the number of their belongings (财物) to fewer than 100. Lin decided to give it a try. She threw away 90 percent of her belongings. She also cleared 120 people she never spoke to from her QQ and Wechat. After doing all that, Lin said she felt ‘lighter’.We used to think owning more was the way to lead a rich life. But now many people believe that owning less is rich, perhaps richer.According to US writer Joel Stillerman, people who are educated and wealthy are more likely to have a minimalist lifesty le. These people are saying, ‘I can afford to have less.’But leading a minimalist lifestyle doesn’t only mean owning or spending less. Adam Lucacias from a UK research company Euromonitor found young people spend less on belongings, but more on short holidays and visits to the movies.‘They are looking for a life that is all about culture.’ Alison Angus, the manager of Euromonitor, said.So perhaps it all comes down to how we define (定义) ‘wealth’. Is wealth in life about buying more and owning more, or is it about learning more and experiencing more?34. Which of the following leads a minimalist lifestyle?A. Alison Angus.B. Adam Lucacias.C. Joe Stillerman.D. Joshua Becker.35. What does the underlined sentence mean？A. I can live a good life with no more education and money.B. I can live a good life by experiencing less and learning more.C. I can live a good life with necessary belongings and friends.D. I can live a good life with less money and fewer belongings.36. Lin Hanxing’s definition of ‘wealth’ may probably cover __________.A. Owning fewer friendsB. Doing more learningC. Having more holidaysD. Chatting less often with peopleCSolar storms shake Earth’s magnetic field(磁场). They not only influence human technology, but also animals, reported Forbes.Studies show that many animals use changes in Earth’s magnetic field to find directions. These changes provide the animals a general compass(指南针) for south and north. Animals can also use them as landmarks.For example, scientists have found special cells in part of a bird’s eye nervous system(神经系统). They seem to react to changes in the magnetic field.Some fish species, like the common trout，have cells with magnetic sensors in their nasalcavity(鼻腔). In 1994 “magnetic sense” was also discovered in sea turtles.Some whale species may use magnetic sense to navigate (导航) the oceans. A dysfunction of this sense may explain the still mysterious beachings (动物搁浅). Sometimes several hundred animals, such as whales and dolphins, are driven out of water along beaches. They usually can’t breathe under their own weight and die slowly.37. What do many animals use to find directions?A. Solar storms.B. Magnetic field.C. Changes in magnetic fieldD. General compass38. Which of the following animals is mentioned in the passage?A. DogB. Trout.C. WolfD. Panda39.

Because there is no water.C. Because they have no magnetic senseD. Because they are hungry.DAfter having two more glasses of cordial, Diana turned pale suddenly.“I’m sick,” she said, “I must go home.” And she left Green Gables and ran all the way home.On Monday, Anne went to see if Diana was better. She soon ran back home with tears rolling down cheeks.“What has happened, Anne?” asked Matila.“Mrs. Barry says that I sent Diana home drunk on Saturday.

Matthew was home, but Marilla had gone to town with the Barrys and Mrs Lynde. Suddenly, Anne looked up and saw Diana standing at the door.
