There are thirty or so novels, countless short stories and serials, a string of hit plays. And there were countless honors: Tarkington was not only commercial but literary—not just the Pulitzers but in 1933 the gold medal for fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, which Edith Wharton and William Dean Howells had won previously. As early as 1922, the Times had placed him twelfth on a list of the twelve greatest contemporary American men.

陕西省咸阳市实验中学2020届高三上学期模拟考试英语试卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ACrossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won’t feel any immediate effects, but if you sit for long periods of time it’s important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldn’t have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and it’s important that you get up and walk around at least once every hour.Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it’s not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic(骨盆的) bones to rotate. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get tingly or have the feeling of being asleep. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins and nerves in your legs and feet. It can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.1. What does the underlined word “tingly” (in paragraph 4) mean?A. a slight stinging feelingB. a clear ringing soundC. a pleasant warm feelingD. a strong excitement feeling2. According to the study, what influence does sitting with your legs crossed have on your health?①increasing your blood pressure ②neck and back pain③pressure on the veins and nerves ④permanent nerve damageA.①④B.③④C.①②③D.①②④3. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To increase people’s knowledge of sitting with their legs crossed.B. To introduce the bad influences that sitting with their legs crossed has on people.C. To help people form the habit of sitting with their legs.D. To advocate getting rid of sitting with their legs.BMicrosoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease to communicate with others from a phone.The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not robust under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration and substantial, relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.“To mitigate the drawbacks…We created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn.”The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.The sticker shows four grids of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.4. How does the GazeSpeak app help ALS suffers speak with their eyes and communicatewith others?A. It combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time.B. It performs frequent re-calibration and substantial, relatively immobile setups.C. It interprets eye signals and translates them into letters.D. It is designed as a low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn system.5. What does “they” in the seventh paragraph refer to?A. gridsB. speakersC. lettersD. movements6. What can be inferred from the passage?A. For people suffering from ALS, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.B. Current eye-tracking input systems are expensive, but robust under sunlight.C. The chart stuck to the back of the smartphone is the key to helping ALS suffers.D. Xiaoyi Zhang’s research has not been presented yet.COn the day the tornado hit, there was no indication severe weather was on its way—the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the presidential primary debate I had been watching to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. Pink insulation flew into the room from a trapdoor to the attic, and the wind began to roar through the house, most likely through blown-out windows and the door to our garage. We had three flights of steps to navigate to get to the relative safety of the first floor. Because the closet down there is wedged underneath a brick staircase, it seemed like the sturdiest place in our town house to wait things out.I didn’t know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. I gripped the banister and tried to move forward, but this intense pressure held me in place. In those seconds of practical stillness, I could hear everything around me rattling. Everything was moving.As we reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Shards of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch whipped through the doorframe. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have impaled us.We got close to the staircase landing only to hear the loud ripping sound of our garage door coming off. The back wall of the house followed suit and tore off into the darkness outside.By the time I reached the closet, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmypushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I gripped Jimmy’s arm as the tornado sucked the door open—we never did get it fully shut—and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and scalp were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.“Hold on! Hold on!” he yelled. But there was nothing in this closet to hold on to. We use it to store Christmas decorations.All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Jimmy said he’d go outside to check. “No,” I said. “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me.”Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.7. What does the underlined sentence “No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us.” in paragraph 2 mean?A. As soon as the couple found the news of the tornado on the TV, it hit the town.B. When the couple found something to cover their house, the tornado came.C. The couple had not found tornado. Soon, it came on top of them.D. The couple did not have the courage to fight against tornado when it was on the top of them.8. Which of the following sentences is NOT true about the passage?A. There was no any symbol of the tornado’s coming.B. A three-foot-long tree branch impaled the couple.C. Because of the strong wind, not both of the couple could get into the closet floor.D. Jimmy didn’t fly right out back of the house.9. Why didn’t the wife feel pain?A. Because she didn’t get any hurt when the storm hit.B. Because she was too scared to feel pain when the tornado was over her.C. Because she devoted all her strength to holding on to her husband.D. Because she had reached the closet and she was safe.10. What is the main idea of the passage?A. A severe tornado hit the town.B. The disaster should be warned in advance.C. Man can conquer nature.D. The couple experienced an unforgettable 4 minutes.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共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。

In addition, my second novel hadn’t sold as well as the first one. It seemed that I was watching my career going downwards. It was so terrifying.However, as I shared my fears with my mother, she said something I would never forget: “I would love you if you were a garbage man.” She wasn’t looking down upon garbage men. She was just saying that whatever my job was, she loved me. It was just her honest feeling at that moment, but those simple words are still the ones I use to fight so many of my fears today.To this day, when I sit down to write every day, I say those words to myself, “I’d love you if you were a garbage man.” I can still feel t he selflessness of my mother’s love.A few years ago, my mother passed away because of breast cancer. It was she who set me on the path of writing a series of children’s books to give strength to my own children. The first two are I’m Amelia Earhart and I’m Abraham Lincoln. In six months, we’ll publish I’m Rosa Parks. For me, this isn’t just a book series. It’s my dream for my own daughter, for my sons, and for all of us who need to see the power and potential (潜力) in each of us.This series was born also because I was tired of my daughter thinking that reality TV stars were heroes. I tell my kids all the time: That’s fame (名气). Fame is different from being a hero. I wanted my kids to see real heroes who are no different than themselves. For this reason, each book tells the story of the hero when he/she was a kid. We see them aschildren. So it’s not just Amelia Earhart and Abraham Lincoln being famous; it’s them being just like us.Look around. We live in a world that desires heroes. Our solution is what my mother taught me with her words: the power of an ordinary person. I can proudly repeat my mother’s words to my kids. They’ll understand how I love them. 1．The author felt terrified because .A．he was experiencing a difficult time in his careerB．his mother passed away because of breast cancerC．he had no idea how to sell his second novelD．he was given a job as a garbage man2．What was the author’s understanding of his mum’s words?A．Mum wanted him to be a garbage man.B．Mum loved him no matter what he did.C．Mum was looking down on garbage men.D．Mum didn’t want him to continue writing novels.3．What does “themselves” in the fifth paragraph refer to?A．Real heroes. B．Children’s books. C．The author’s kids. D．Reality TV stars.4．The author is trying to teach his children to .A．respect real heroes B．behave themselvesC．be ordinary people D．realize their own potentialB14、Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states(州) have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful(健忘). People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressuredays. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.1．What can cause problems on health？A．Hot and wet weather B．A strong windC．Warm weather D．Low air pressure2．A report shows that people may have more intelligence when ______ comes.A．rain B．a strong windC．very hot weather D．low air pressure3．According to (根据) the writer, fat people may feel bad in ______ weather.A．cold B．cool C．warm D．hot4．Which is the best title(标题) for this passage？A．Hot Weather Causes Health ProblemsB．Different Weather Makes People Feel BadC．Weather Influences FeelingsD．Weather Influences Health, Intelligence and FeelingC15、A public primary school in the USA has stopped giving its students’ homework.Principal Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents last month, explaining that after more than a yearof analyzing (分析) studies, the school had decided that students’ after-school time would be better spent on activities like reading at their own pace (步伐) and playing instead of working on homework.Hsu’s letter says that many studies show that there is no connection between homework and academic (学业的) success. Some other studies also show that the connection between homework and success is dubious at the primary school level. Harris Cooper, a social psychologist who researches education, found that doing homework makes students perform better in school as they grew older. In later grades, students who did homework performed increasingly better than students who did not. In 2006, Cooper published a study that analyzed 15 years’ worth of data on the influence of homework. He found that homework had a good influence on students as they aged.Some parents are not happy with the decisio n to give up homework. “I think they should have homework. I want my daughter to have fun, but I also want her to be working towards a goal,” Daniel Tasman, the father of a second-grader at the school, said to the reporter.“Students have to do homework in order to gain. Students have to do homework because they may not be able to understand everything in school,” Sharon Blake, a student’s grandmother told ABC news.1．Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents to explain .A．how students should read at their own paceB．why the school gave up homework recentlyC．what activities students could take at homeD．how important the homework is for students2．The word “dubious” in Paragraph 3 probably means “not ”.A．real B．public C．clear D．special3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Cooper found homework had a bad effect on students as they aged.B．Some parents are worried about their children if there is no homework.C．Some students are not happy with the decision to give up school homework.D．Daniel Tasman wanted his daughter to have fun instead of working to a goalD16、Molly Daniels opened the door so hard that the door nearly broke it. Then she looked through the window at her neighbor across the yard. “She is in my garden again. Those are my strawberries, not hers. Maybe I should call the police.”Her friend, Doris, was sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in her hands. “ You want to c all the police because she picks your strawberries?” she asked.“Of course,” Molly answered angrily. “ What would you do if your neighbor walked into your yard without your permission and picked your strawberries?”“ I would say, better her than the bees.”“ The bees don’t take my strawberries.”“But the birds do,” Doris continued. “ That old lady only picks a few strawberries every year, and the only ones she picks are those you leave to the birds. Why don’t you pick some of your good strawberries and give them to her?”“ Are you crazy? What are you thinking?’“ Don’t you remember what happened when you were in hospital last year? She went to see you and gave you a pot full of chicken soup. When you give her the strawberries you can tell her that you still remember that.”Molly was shocked. She had almost forgotten that little kindness because she was too angry. Then she picked a basket of good strawberries and went out.

And when we stayed in Westmeath, we saw the Trim Castle through the windows and found some scenes from Brave Heart which was filmed there. We were so excited. Again, more beautiful pictures were taken in that tiny town.We love the country, the people, the food and the magic. We would go back very soon.

By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in “Section L”. I found out later that everyone called Section L “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that.Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, I had to try to make things better.The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in “Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore. Even though I couldn’t change my situation, I could change my attitude—and that made all the difference.4. “Loserville” is a section for ________.A. failuresB. good studentsC. class secretsD. newcomers5.

Unhappiness in “Loserville”CMoscow city authorities have begun using comics（漫画）with characters from Russian fairy tales to explain to migrants（移民）how they should behave. They say a 100-page guide is needed to "keep a positive image" of the city and could help reduce "tensions" between natives and migrants. But critics have pointed out that foreign migrants and natives may be regarded as antagonists in the manual(手册).Russians and migrants have repeatedly flooded in Moscow recently. Many migrants from ex-Soviet republics in Central Asia, the Caucasus（高加索）and North Caucasus, arrive in Moscow every year, attracted by the capital’s job opportunities and relatively high salaries. A significant number of them workin the Russian capital illegally.The new guide in Russian seeks to explain the "dos" and "don’ts" to migrants. They are urged not to cause trouble, by staring at women, or eating or talking loudly on the streets. They are also warned that the police may routinely（例行公事）stop them to check their documents.In the manual, Russia’s famous "three warriors" are meant to represent the city’s law enforcement agencies（执法机关）, while Prince Y uri Dolgoruky (a historical character) is used for tours around Moscow. Meanwhile, Vasilisa the Wise and The Snow Maiden test the reader on Russia’s language a nd history. A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow’s strict residency and employment rules, stressing that migrants could otherwise be deported(驱逐出境) or banned from entry.The manual was written primarily for illegal migrants, Alexander Kalinin, who heads the group Support for Working Migrants in Moscow, told BBC Russian."We want to raise their level of law awareness," he added.Migrant characters had initially(最初) been identified as representatives of different nationalities, but the book’s authors later decided to drop this idea so as "not to offend anyone", said Mr. Kalinin."The old conflict between Russian heroes and non-Slavic invaders is being revived," Yevgeny Varshaver, a migration expert told BBC Russian. He also suggested that the language used in the book would be "difficult" to understand for some migrants who were not native Russian speakers.8. The underlined word "antagonists" in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by "_____".A. friendsB. acquaintancesC. cooperatorsD. opponents9. People from other countries come to Moscow "_____"A. to find well-paid jobsB. to have a new lifestyleC. to enjoy the fine climateD. to experience a new culture10. The third paragraph is mainly about"_____".A. consequences the migrants may sufferB. the purpose of publishing the handbookC. the measures to attract foreign migrantsD. characters and their functions in Russian fairytales11. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A. Ways to help foreign migrants to settle in RussiaB. Characters from Russian fairy tales have new jobsC. More and more foreign migrants to work in MoscowD. Moscow fairy tale comics to help migrants behaveDIn this Pennsylvania city, Pittsburgh is shrinking but getting wealthier. Since 2000, its population has declined by 95,000 while its income per capita (人均) has shot up 24 percent. The trend is taking hold in many other cities, like Buffalo in New York, Providence in Rhode Island and New Orleans.Some of these areas have created more high-paying jobs in energy, health care or education. Others have managed to reshape their producing industry for a new economy. Higher-paying jobs have a greater effect because they create demand for additional services. "The story in Pittsburgh is very positive, and other areas are looking at it as an example of the transformation that might be possible，”said Guhan Venkatu, who wrote an economic history of the area called “Rust and Renewal” for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have helped bring tech jobs and innovation(革新) to the area by sponsoring tech centers that help graduates start companies without moving to Silicon Valley or San Francisco. This has helped keep Pittsburgh's educated young population growing even as the entire population in the city has dropped.Pittsburgh has more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) jobs than other shrinking cities, about 80, 000 or 7% of all jobs. STEM jobs add productivity and income growth to the area. Manufacturers of high-tech medical equipment in the Pittsburgh area also have doubled employment in the last 10 years.However, some experts question whether growing income per capita can really make up for a declining population. According to Patrick Adler, a researcher at the University of Toronto, population loss does matter if it means lower-skilled workers have fled because of a lack of opportunity. What's more, high-paying jobs in education and health care can disappear if the population declines too greatly. So it'd be wise to find ways to increase the population.12. In what aspect does Pittsburgh set a good example?A. Transforming old energy into new energy.B. Creating more well-paid jobs.C. Prohibiting the manufacturing.D. Sponsoring higher education.13. How do some academic institutions help with the local economy?A. By helping to attract more talents from other areas.B. By providing much technical support to local companies.C. By hosting tech centers for local educated graduates.D. By assisting in employing a large number of educated youths.14. Why is Patrick Adler mentioned in the last paragraph?A. To show the disadvantage of a declining population.B. To suggest increasing high-paying jobs.C. To raise doubts about growing income per capita.D. To tell a reason why lower-skilled workers flee.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. How Fast Job Growth Is Related to Population GrowthB. How Less-crowded Cities Plan Their High-tech EconomyC. Why Some Cities Are Losing People but Getting WealthierD. Why Some Cities Are Suffering From a Shrinking Population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。
2020届陕西省咸阳市英语高考模拟试题
2020届陕西省咸阳市英语高考模拟试题第二部分：阅读理解（共两节满分30分）第一节（共4小题，每小题6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．11．（6分）From the tropical paradise of United States Miami to South Chinas innovative （创新的）city Shenzhen，The Lonely Planet released a list of top 10 cities which are worth visiting in 2019．It covers a mix of well﹣known and less﹣known destinations．Those places include second place Shenzhen，China；Novi Sad．Serbia in third place；Miami，Florida in fourth place，and Kathmandu，Nepal rounding out the top five．Let，s have a brief look at some of these attractive places．Copenhagen DenmarkWith its modern design，15 Michelin﹣starred restaurants and highly bike﹣friendly culture，it is not surprising that Denmark's capital has topped lonely planet stop 10 cities list．Copenhagen's street food scene is developing fast in Refshaleoen，a former industrial area with a foodand craft market，Reffen．Novi Sad，SerbiaWhile Novi sad is not as noted as the capital of Belgrade，it's much more fashionable．It's home to thecountry's annual EXIT! Festival，which is held each July at the 18th century﹣era Petrovaradin Fortress．The festival contributes to a vibrant music and arts scene and a youthful atmosphere．Next year 2019's European Youth Capital will be held in Novi Sad．It may be a practice run for 2021，when the city will observe the important title of European Capital of Culture．Kathmandu，NepalThree years after it was struck by a destructive earthquake，Kathmandu is welcoming visitors to a citywhich is much quieter，by design．With cars banned from the historic center and motor horns：banned across the Kathmandu valley it's much quieter than it used to be in the past．Hall figures out．It will also host the South Asian Games in 2019．（1）In which city can you enjoy highly bike﹣friendly culture？A．Shenzhen

Michelin﹣starred restaurantsD．enjoy a vibrant music and arts scene and a youthful atmosphere（3）Where does the passage most probably come from？A．A science reportB．A book reviewC．A magazineD．A realistic novel12．（8分）Solar energy for your home is coming．It can help you as a single home owner．It can help the whole country as well．Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many thin things．Where you live is one factor．The type of home you have is another．Things like insulation （隔热材料）add to energy costs，and the type of system you buy are added factors．Using it can help save our precious fuel．As you know，our supplies of oil and gas are very limited here is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs．And when Mother Nature says that's all．The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by by using other sources，like the sun．We won't have to worry about the sun running out of energy for another several billion years or so．Besides being an endless source of energy，the use of the sun has otheradvantages as well．The sun doesn't offer as many problems as other energy sources．For example，fossil fuel plants add to already high pollution levels．With solar energy，we will still need sources of energy，but we won't need as much．That means we can cut down on our pollution problems．With all these good points，why don't we use more solar power？There are many reasons for this．The biggest reason is money．Decades ago，it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit There were cheaper sources of energy．All that is changing now．Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity．Experts say that gas，oil and electricity prices will continue to rise．The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly．But new power plants will use more gas，oil or coal．Already in some places the supply of electricity being rationed （定量配给）．Solar energy is now in its infancy．It could soon grow to become a major part of our nation's energy supply．（1）What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to？A．Solar energy．B．Coal．C．Natural gas．D．Oil．（2）What is the biggest reason for solar energy not

afterwardsB．become a major energy supplyC．pollute the environmentD．completely replace other energy（4）Which is main idea of the passage？A．The future of solar energy．B．The history of solar energy．C．A brief introduction to solar energy．D．The barriers of solar energy．13．（8分）Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM）has been greatly contributing to the treatment of the COVID﹣19，which changed the attitude of the western world to it to some extent．However，in the past，foreigners knew little about it．According to a government report，although TCM has been introduced into 183 countries and regions around the world，their understanding of TCM may be limited to acupuncture （针灸），cupping and massage （按摩）．For instance，the purple，injury﹣like marks left on a U．S．famous swimmer's back from cupping to relax his muscles and reduce pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in2016．In fact，Chinese herbs （药草）play a more important role in curing diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment．Therefore，it is disappointing to know that although 103 world Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture，not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine．TCM is much less popular than Westem medicine partly due to the slow development of Chinese herbs．Herbs can be made into pills，powder and soup．The kind of herbs used，their quality，quantity and the processing together determine the effectiveness of the prescription （处方）．Compared with Western medicine，which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods，TCM lacks standardization．The chemical composition and functions of its medicine are still unclear and their effects are unstable．Fortunately，standardization has improved in recent decades and a number of factories are increasingly producing patented TCM drugs．Another reason why ICM prescription drugs have developed slowly is that it lacks creativity．While Western medicine﹣making companies come up with new products every year，TCM drug producers tend to make medicine according to prescriptions handed down from the past That Chinese chemist Tu Yoyo won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria（痢疾）treatment may drive creativity to some extent inChina's TCM industry．However，Rome was not built in a day．The current situation cannot be changed withina short time．（1）Why did the US swimmer attract the audience's attention in the 2016 Rio Olympics？A．The injury on his back．B．The golden cup he won in the games．C．His relaxed muscles and reduced pain．D．The purple，injury﹣like marks left on his back．（2）What should we do to make TCM be recognized by more countries？A．Set standards and improve creativity．B．Increase functions and decrease production．C．Increase functions and improve creativity．D．Set standards and create more prescriptions．（3）How does the writer feel about the future of TCM？A．Anxious．B．Negative．C．Disappointed．D．Positive．（4）Westerners DONT think．A．acupuncture treatment is effectiveB．cupping can cure some diseasesC．massage can relax body musclesD．herbs can keep the body in good condition14．（8分）The following is excerpted （节选）from the speech given by the Queen of the UK on April 5th，2020．"I am speaking to you at what I know is an increasingly challenging time．A time of disruption in the life of our country：a disruption that has brought grief to some，financial difficulties to many，and enormous changes to the daily lives of us．I want to thank everyone on the NHS （国家医疗服务体系）front line，as well as careworkers and those carrying out essential roles，who selflessly continue their day﹣to﹣day duties outside the home in support of us all．I am sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do is appreciated and every hour of your hard work brings us closer to a return to more normal times．I also want to thank those of you who are staying at home，thereby helping to protect the vulnerable （弱势群体）and sparing many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones．Together we are tackling this disease，and I want to reassure （使安心）you that if we remain united and resolute then we will overcome it．I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge And those who come after us will say the Britons of this generation were as strong as any．That the attributes （标志）of self﹣discipline，of quiet good﹣humoured resolve and of fellow﹣feeling still characterise this country．The pride in who we are is not a part of our past，it defines our present and our future．The moments when the United Kingdom has come together to applaud its care and essential workers will be remembered as an expression of our national spirit；and its symbol will be the rainbows drawn by children．"…"While we have faced challenges before，this one is different．This time we join with all nations across the globe in a common endeavor （竭力），using the great advances of science and our instinctive compassion to heal．We will succeed and that success will belong to every one of us．We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure （忍受）better days will return：we will be with our friends again；we will be with our families again；we will meet again．But for now，I send my thanks and warmest good wishes to you all．"（1）Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word "disruption" in paragraph 1？A．Destruction．B．Revolution．C．Contribution．D．Starvation．（2）What does the last part of the speech indicate？A．The Queens elegance in face of the situation．B．The Queen's anxiety about the epidemic．C．The Queen's best wishes and determination．D．The Queens disappointment and comfort．（3）Which can explain "this one is different"？A．This virus is novel．B．The challenge is harder just for the UK．C．We fight without companions．D．We fight with the whole world．（4）The Queen delivered the speech to

daily life．Monday through Friday we sit in classrooms learning and studying various topics until we graduate from high school．（1）Then when we are in college，we have the freedom to select class

is also a negative side which some graduates seem to experience post﹣college．（2）As symptoms are not always so obvious or miserable，some graduates don't realize they are in a state depression．But they may feel﹣tired，or restless，lose interest in life andbecome unable to enjoy anything，find it hard to make decisions，and even have difficulty in sleeping．（3）With college graduation approaching，many students have idealistic hopes about life after the diploma．（4）Difficulty in finding a job，stress from loans and feeling powerless are all real reasons that may cause depression．Many college graduates start off working jobs that are part﹣time．Even if some get hired doing what they went to school for，they still may run into some trouble．（5）They are taught to think independently and to be creative in

The crazy cyclist was 40 kilometres into his Sunday ride when he stopped by the side of the road to text his family saying he’d be home in about 30 minutes. Moments later, he was lying in the ditch, unconscious.Larissa Arthur was driving back to Calgary from a hike in Field, B. C. with a friend. It was a warm and sunny day, and the two were chatting when a flush of yellow caught Arthur's eyes, She immediately pulled off the road.As Arthur approached the figure. she feared the worst: Estepa was covered in ants and exhibited no signs of life. There was no pulse and he wasn't breathing." says Arthur. A bystander called 911 and Arthur, a registered nurse, started chest compressions. She and two other drivers took turns carrying out CPR for the next 15 minutes before medical teams,arrived and whisked Estepa away.Two days later, when Estepa woke up in the hospital, he was shocked to learn he had gone into cardiac arrest (心脏骤停). How did this happen, and ,why was he lucky enough to have survived? He was full of gratitude and needed 10 speak with the woman who had saved him, whom he named his "angel” .“It was emotional,” says Arthur of her meeting with Estepa a few weeks later. Saving his life had extra importance for her: the bike she was returning from that day was one of 100 she's planned to honour her father, who died in 2017 after he fell during a hike that Arthur was meant to be on. "I couldn't save my father's life." Arthur says, "but this was a chance for me to save someone. "24. Why did Mike Estepn stop while riding?A. He suffered a heart attack.B.

A Miracle to Return to LifeB. An Angel on the RoadsideC.A Risky Cycling AloneD. A Chance to Save LifeCOn Nov. 24, near Yellowstone's northeast entrance, Spitfire. a female grey wolf, was shot and killed by a hunter as she approached a group of cottages."It was a legal harvest." Abby Nelson, a wolf management specialist said. The circumstances are obviously a little bit harder for people to stomach, but that pack has showed signs of habituation (习惯). They just stand there and have no fear. Wolf hunters can easily pick the one they want. "The carefree relation that some Yellowstone wolves have built with humans is reportedly attractive for hunters who look for an easy kill.In the wake of yet another famous Yellowstone wolf meeting a violent end outside the park, officials are actively rethinking, how to manage wildlife habituationSmith, a wolf biologist for Yellowstone says, “Now we re thinking of pounding them. "Park officials might use fireworks, and paintball or beanbag guns when they approach humans in the park. "If you get close to people, you're going to get attacked."If you think this sounds cruel, you're not alone. Seeing these creatures from the roads that wind through the park not only allows tourists to witness something amazing. but also to reconnect with nature in a way that is better than any conservation campaign. But there's also a growing sense that the present policy of doing nothing isn't workings: more wolves will needlessly die and the broken record of hunters scoring easy kills will goon.As Smith adds. urging people to keep wolves wild when meeting them halfway is a big ask. Sill, he's hopeful to preserve the world's best place to observe free rang ing wolves; it’s a policy change that tourists can be involved in.“...Perhaps Spitfire’s death will accomplish some good and we'll all come together to a better job on managing crowds and roads and wolves in Yellowstone," Smith said.28. What was the main reason for the death of Spitfire?,A. Wildlife habituation.B. Park officials’ carelessnessC. The nature of grey wolves.D. The cruelty of the hunter.29. What does the underlined word “pounding" in p aragraph 5 probably mean?.A. GreetingB. ProtectingC. Challenging.D. Hitting.30. What does Smith expect visitors to do in Yellowstone?A. Be more friendly to wolves.B. Avoid meeting grey wolves.C. Keep away from wolves.D. Force wolves away from them.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. The wolves in Yellowstone are out of control.B. illegal wolf -hunting in Yellowstone is going on.C. Yellowstone considers "attacking" wolves to protect them.D. The wolves in Yellowstone are living in harmony with humans.DAlmost every second of every day an older adult falls in the United States. That's approximately 29 million falls per year and nearly 27,000 deaths. according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Still in the stating stage, the Active Pelvis Orthosis (APO) system in Switzerland wants to make a lightweight, wearable exoskeleton (外骨骼) that could detect signs of balance loss and assist with balance recovery to keep the elderly wearer from falling, only when needed.Other exoskeletons, either in development or on the market today, assist with movement and make heavy objects feel lighter. Mobility-impaired people can walk again. But none of these devices predict what the wearer is going to do next and take measures to correct an unsteady move.The 3 kilogram (6.7 pound) exoskeleton was built entirely from scratch by the research team and is designed to be worn on the lower half of the. body. A waistband connects to two movable carbon fiber braces (支架), each one positioned on the outer side of a leg. Tiny motors and so-called “adaptive oscillators” (适配振荡器) in the computer circuits use a special process to detect the, wearer's unique paces. That part takes just a few minutes.While wearing the exoskeleton, a person may feel the braces and the motors pushing slightly on their legs. If their paces go against normal, the motors create a force in the braces that cause them to stiffen up and push a little more strongly against the legs, which provides stability.In the next three years, the APO hopes to develop something that is commercially available.32. Why is the new exoskeleton invented?A. To slower users' walking paces.B. To improve users’ walking abilityC. To promote users' sense of balance.D. To prevent users from falling33. What’s the feature of the new exoskeleton?A. It keeps users warm.B. It is worn on the back.C. It helps users move around.D. It corrects an unsteady move.34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. How the new exoskeleton works.B. Where the braces are positioned.C. How long it takes to detect the user's pacesD. What the new exoskeleton was built from.35. What is the purpose of the author in writing this text?A. To call on care for the elderly.B. To introduce a new invention.C. To advertise new deviceD. To bring hope for the elderly.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最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
