高考英语模拟试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）A‘Turtle time!，loudly called out by one of my newly-found friends，meant the beginning of either a morning or afternoon shift at Turtle Camp in Nusa Penida，Indonesia．Upon arrival at the project each day，we would look eagerly for our names on the whiteboard to see which task we would be undertaking．Would it be the highly desirable ‘turtle feeding'，the pretty fun ‘tank cleaning'，the exciting ‘medicine administering' or the less appealing ‘fish cutting'？Fine in theory but not when every fly in Indonesia decides to crowd onto these dead fish while you're cutting!Life at the turtle project was fun because twice a day we got to hang out with sea turtles．By ‘hang out'，I obviously meant ‘work'，as we were on shift，but it certainly didn't feel like work．Another fun thing was getting to know the other volunteers! With volunteers from all over the world，it was just common to hear Finnish being spoken，Australian slang mixed with French expressions and Swedes making plans to visit newly-found friends in the USA．Of course，not all the time at Turtle Camp was consumed by volunteering．Scheduled activities included a trip to Crystal Bay，a beautiful paradise for swimming and sunbathing，an awesome beach bonfire complete with a beautiful sunset as well as our local coworkers showing off their guitar playing and singing skills．Our time at Turtle Camp was capped off by setting free two of our turtles into the sea to begin their journey as independent turtles! Hopefully，the love and care provided at the turtle project would ensure that these turtles had a greater chance of survival in the big，wide and scary ocean．1.Which task is less fun to the volunteers at Turtle Camp？______A. Turtle feeding．B. Tank cleaning．C. Medicine Administering．D. Fish Cutting．2.What does the underlined sentence imply？______A. The volunteering was a challenge．B. The time at the camp was difficult．C. The work at the project was a delight．D. Communication was time-consuming．3.When setting free the two turtles，the volunteers felt a sense of ______ ．A. achievementB. belongingC. lossD. independenceBIf you're looking at livable cities as inspiration for your holiday，you'll miss out on many great tourist destinations．According to Mercer's 2018 Quality of Living Survey，Moscow ranks 167 and Beijing only 119，yet both provide ample visitor pleasures．Meanwhile high-ranked cities such as Kobe （神户）or Seattle may be easy places to live in，but offer only passing interest to tourists．In truth，many of the world's most livable cities are a little dull．The world isn't rushing to visit Canberra or Montreal．In fact，none of the world's 10 most visited cities appear in Mercer's top 20．Clearly，considerations that create enjoyable holiday destinations differ from those that make cities fine places to live in．This should be no surprise，since livability lists aren't concerned with tourists or even local residents but rather expats（侨民）．Mercer，for example，is a British-based professional service firm whose lists supply multinationals with human resources information about where to locate their businesses．"The success of foreign business is influenced by issues such as ease of travel and communication，personal safety，and access to public services，says Slagin Parakatil，who oversees Mercer's research．In short，Mercer considers whether cities are attractive to business and investment，and have good schools，hospitals and housing while such factors seldom influence tourists．Still，Mercer's Quality of Living Survey has its uses for tourists，since it also looks at natural and cultural environments and recreation．It ranks public transport and infrastructure （基础设施）particularly highly，a consideration shared by the World Economic Forum in reports on tourism and travel competitiveness．This includes hotels，rental-cars and even ATM availability，all of which make a destination friendly to expats and visitors alike．4.What do we know about livable cities？______A. They hardly offer tourist passing interest．B. They may not be good tourist destinations．C. They can arouse the inspiration of visitors．D. They are usually highly ranked by tourists．5.What is Mercer more concerned about when ranking livable cities？______A. Tourist attractions．B. ATM availability．C. Business-friendliness．D. Local residents．6.Why does the writer use Mercer's Quality of Living Survey？______A. To make his view convincing．B. To compare those livable cities．C. To better understand the survey．D. To support the British-based firm．CEvery day around the world, thousands of people with little to no scholarly training in art history walk into museums. They may or may not read notice boards that share relevant information of the artworks or artists. Imagine, before being permitted to direct their eyeballs to the art on the walls, museum visitors were required to read a 15- or 20-page introduction to each piece or each artist. How many people would go to museums if that were the case?Yet this seems to be the expectation when it comes to reading classic literature. Classic novels typically come with 15- or 20-page introductions, which often include spoilers, assuming that readers do not come to classic books to discover, be absorbed in, and be surprised by the story world. Also, apparently, we mustn't read classics alone, without experts guiding our experiences.However, classic literature is in a unique position to show us that we're not alone in our pains and joys. By taking us out of our time, classic books free us to see beyond the set of beliefs we stick to and to connect human experiences that remain alive across time and place. What could be more grounding, more comforting, than seeing ourselves in the battles, longings, and pleasures that have played out across hundreds, thousands of years of human history? Our personal engagement is the first step of a longer journey of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world. We may, for example, feel forHester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter though we despair of the world she lived in.While we're letting go of things, let's stop worrying about understanding everything. We can't. It will be fun if we embrace curiosity, the pleasure of working out a mystery, and our common relationships as humans. We can feel, for example, the power of self-sacrifice in Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities even when we lack full understanding of the cultural references and language.7.Most museum goers ________.A. enjoy reading notice boardsB. understand the artworks wellC. lack professional art knowledgeD. share common interest in artworks8.What can the spoilers in Para. 2 possibly be?A. Story writers.B. Readers' expectations.C. Guiding experts．D. Plots given away in advance.9.What prevents readers enjoying reading classics?A. Showing curiosity about the writers.B. Letting go of things.C. Trying to understanding everything.D. Working out mysteries.10.What message is mainly conveyed in the passage?A. We should find more fun from classics.B. Reading classics is a personal exploration.C. Experts need to give readers better guidance.D. Classic literature benefits readers a great deal.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy to learn English．According to them，with little effort，a student will be able to speak the language fluently in three months or even ten days．When I see advertisements like this，I don't know whether to laugh or cry．If it were that easy，I would have to look for another job，because very few qualified teachers would be needed．(1) Otherwise the advertisements would not appear．It is natural for students to be attracted to methods that will teach them quickly and efficiently．(2) And it is no use pretending that anyone has discovered a perfect way of teaching English．Some experts even argue that there are many good methods of teaching a language．No doubt this is true to a certain extent，but it is not very helpful to students．(3) Of course it is clear that students who go to England，America，or Australia to learn English have a great advantage over others．But many students cannot afford to do so．Other students go to the opposite extreme．(4) But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise word in another language．In my personal opinion，no one can ever learn to speak a language unless he is interested in it．Human beings，unlike animals，do not like making noises unless they understand and can relate them to their own lives．It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication．(5) It will be helpful if we practise the unfamiliar forms in real situations，talking to each other about real life in real language．A．We need other people to talk to and listen to．B．They teach themselves at home with dictionaries．C．Every teacher is an individual with his own personality．D．But a large number of people must believe these ridiculous claims．E．It's impossible for any translation method to produce good pronunciation．F．But it is difficult for anyone to explain why one method is better than another．G．Some students believe that the only way to learn a language is to stay in that country．11.

2020年浙江省温州中学高三英语三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ABritain's brilliant bridges have aided trade and brought communities together and are always the most exciting part of the journey. These must-see bridges are now tourist attractions in their own right.Clifton Suspension Bridge, BristolDescribed byits legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel as “my first love, my darling”, in was originally designed for horse-drawn traffic. Now, more than four million vehicles a year cross the 1,352ft-Jong toll (收费) bridge over the Avon Gorge. The £ l toll for every journey pays for its repair. The history of the bridge, dating back to 1864, is kept alive through a programme of tours, events and exhibitions.Infinity Bridge, Stockton-On-TeesA pedestrian and cycle footbridge across the River Tees, its working title was the North Shore Footbridge, before it was given its grander name when opened in 2009. It is particularly spectacular (壮观) at night. The arches of the bridge are also lit white and, on calm nights, their reflection in the water appears as an infinity symbol, thereby inspiring the name which was chosen by the public.Tower Bridge, LondonAn engineering wonder built from thousands of tons of Cornish granite, Portland stone and steel, it took construction workers eight years to complete. More than 120 years old, it's a popular tourist attraction, as well as a functional bridge. Visitors can take in the views over the capital and experience seeing London life through the Glass Floor.Iron Bridge, ShropshireOpened in 1781, this is the first arch bridge in the world to be made out of cast iron. Recognised as one of the great symbols of the industrial revolution, it transformed the cart of bridge building and was a crucial factor in the development of the iron trade in Shropshire.1.Which bridge has the longest history?A.Clifton Suspension Bridge.B.Infinity Bridge.C.Tower Bridge.D.Iron Bridge.2.What can we know about Infinity Bridge?A.People can just walk on it.B.The public give it two names.C.It's well worth visiting at night.D.It's arch is the biggest on the earth.3.What do Clifton Suspension Bridge and Tower Bridge have in common?A.They are both over 120 years old.B.Visitors should pay for passing them.C.They have the same original design.D.Visitors can have a good view of London on them.BBlood donations save lives. But blood can only be stored by freezing for up to six weeks. “Because of that limitation, people have to continually donate blood to meet the needs. But also, in places where freezing may not be available, that can also be a challenge. It’s difficult to have blood available when needed.”“Thedisruptionsto regular blood donations due to COVID-19 have put stress on the blood supply, and the pandemic emphasizes the need for more reliable long-term storage methods.” UniversityofLouisvillebioengineer Jonathan Kopechek said.Kopechek’s team has developeda method of preserving blood so it can be stored in a dehydrated state at room temperature. They turned to an unusual preservative: a sugar called trehalose（海藻糖）, which is a common ingredient in donuts... to help make them look fresh even when they mightbe months old, and you wouldn’t know the difference.The researchers chose trehalose because, in nature, it’s made by hardy animals like tardigrades and sea monkeys—aka brine shrimp—famous for their ability to survive dehydration.So these animals can dry out completely for a long period of time and then be rehydrated and resume normal function. First, the researchers had to get trehalose into blood cells. They used ultrasound（超声波）to drill temporary holes in the cell membranes—which let some trehalose get in. And they need to have sufficient levels of trehalose on both the inside and the outside of the cell in order to survive the dehydration and rehydration process. At that point, the blood could be dried and made into a powder. And then we can rehydrate the blood and have it return back to normal.“The technique could be ready for clinical test in three to five years. If successful, it could be used to create stores of dried blood in case of future pandemics or natural disasters. Maybe medicine bag on the Red Planet will include dried red blood cells.” Kopechek said.4. Why do people have to continually donate blood to meet the needs?A. Because blood donations aren’t popular.B. Because the blood needs can’t be met.C. Because blood storage by freezing has time limit.D. Because blood freezing is a challenge in many places.5. What does the underlined word “disruptions” in paragraph 2 mean?A. pauseB. damageC. endD. distribution6. According to the research of Kopechek’s team, what can we learn about?A. Blood can be preserved in a dehydrated state by freezing.B. Trehalose is only made by hardy animals like tardigrades.C. Trehalose can help make donuts look fresh for a long time.D. The technique of blood dehydration has been applied in clinical test.7. How did trehalose get into blood cell?A. By the process of dehydration and rehydration.B. By being dried and made into a power.C. By rehydrating the blood returning back to normal.D. By the temporary holes drilled by ultrasound.CEmojis are very popular among mobile phone and social media users. While there are emojis of almost every kind imaginable, from dinosaurs to joyful tears and eggplants, there is no emoji for forgiveness. Seeing the need to show understanding, aFinnish group decided it was time for a "forgiveness" emoji.Every year, the Unicode Consortium, which sets the standards, adds new emojis to the emoji keyboard on mobile phones and computers. In 2019, the Forgivemoji campaign was launched. Forgivemoji's site made an open call to the public to give their designs for a new forgiveness emoji, with the goal of presenting the symbol to the Unicode Consortium and getting it accepted by people.Tuomo Pesonen, communications director of the Unicode Consortium, explained why the forgiveness emoji isindispensablein today's world. “In our modern communication culture, emojis are an important way of expressing human feelings beyond words.” The campaign gained popularity, reaching over two million people around the world. They received many designs, including a bandaged heart, two holding hands, and people from different cultures hugging.After hundreds of people offered their ideas for this emoji, the winner was announced in February 2020. Former Finnish president Tarja Halonen was selected to choose the winner as she has been important in building bridges between people. The emoji that will be presented to the Unicode Consortium is an image of two handsgiving a thumbs-up symbol in front of a heart. If the Unicode Consortium accepts the design, it will become available to the public in late 2021.The Forgivemoji campaign goes far beyond having a strong influence on social media. The message of showing forgiveness and understanding is helpful for the world at large.8. What's the idea behind the Fogivemoji campaign?A. people develop pleasant habits.B. To get people more friendly to each other.C. To pick a forgiveness emoji for the public to use.D. To make mobile phones and computers more convenient to use.9. What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Necessary.B. Different.C. Changeable.D. Interesting.10. Why was Tarja Halonen selected to choose the winner for the campaign?A. She launched the campaign herself.B. She designed the most popular emoji.C. She was familiar with the emoji history.D. She played an important role in relating people.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Forgiveness is important for peopleB. Emoji for forgiveness is on the wayC. Emojis are becoming interestingly popularD. Finnish people explore the stories of emojisDIf you go into the forest with friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them findyou. You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. You can shout or whistle three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help.Keep up shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you twoshouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches(树枝). Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass.When you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it. Don’t just walk away.

高考英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）A‘Turtle time!，loudly called out by one of my newly-found friends，meant the beginning of either a morning or afternoon shift at Turtle Camp in Nusa Penida，Indonesia．Upon arrival at the project each day，we would look eagerly for our names on the whiteboard to see which task we would be undertaking．Would it be the highly desirable ‘turtle feeding'，the pretty fun ‘tank cleaning'，the exciting ‘medicine administering' or the less appealing ‘fish cutting'Fine in theory but not when every fly in Indonesia decides to crowd onto these dead fish while you're cutting!Life at the turtle project was fun because twice a day we got to hang out with sea turtles．By ‘hang out'，I obviously meant ‘work'，as we were on shift，but it certainly didn't feel like work．Another fun thing was getting to know the other volunteers! With volunteers from all over the world，it was just common to hear Finnish being spoken，Australian slang mixed with French expressions and Swedes making plans to visit newly-found friends in the USA．Of course，not all the time at Turtle Camp was consumed by volunteering．Scheduled activities included a trip to Crystal Bay，a beautiful paradise for swimming and sunbathing，an awesome beach bonfire complete with a beautiful sunset as well as our local coworkers showing off their guitar playing and singing skills．Our time at Turtle Camp was capped off by setting free two of our turtles into the sea to begin their journey as independent turtles! Hopefully，the love and care provided at the turtle project would ensure that these turtles had a greater chance of survival in the big，wide and scary ocean．1.Which task is less fun to the volunteers at Turtle Camp？______A. Turtle feeding．B. Tank cleaning．C. Medicine Administering．D. Fish Cutting．2.What does the underlined sentence imply？______A. The volunteering was a challenge．B. The time at the camp was difficult．C. The work at the project was a delight．D. Communication was time-consuming．3.When setting free the two turtles，the volunteers felt a sense of ______ ．A. achievementB. belongingC. lossD. independenceBIf you're looking at livable cities as inspiration for your holiday，you'll miss out on many great tourist destinations．According to Mercer's 2018 Quality of Living Survey，Moscow ranks 167 and Beijing only 119，yet both provide ample visitor pleasures．Meanwhile high-ranked cities such as Kobe （神户）or Seattle may be easy places to live in，but offer only passing interest to tourists．In truth，many of the world's most livable cities are a little dull．The world isn't rushing to visit Canberra or Montreal．In fact，none of the world's 10 most visited cities appear in Mercer's top 20．Clearly，considerations that create enjoyable holidaydestinations differ from those that make cities fine places to live in．This should be no surprise，since livability lists aren't concerned with tourists or even local residents but rather expats（侨民）．Mercer，for example，is a British-based professional service firm whose lists supply multinationals with human resources information about where to locate their businesses．"The success of foreign business is influenced by issues such as ease of travel and communication，personal safety，and access to public services，says Slagin Parakatil，who oversees Mercer's research．In short，Mercer considers whether cities are attractive to business and investment，and have good schools，hospitals and housing while such factors seldom influence tourists．Still，Mercer's Quality of Living Survey has its uses for tourists，since it also looks at natural and cultural environments and recreation．It ranks public transport and infrastructure（基础设施）particularly highly，a consideration shared by the World Economic Forum in reports on tourism and travel competitiveness．This includes hotels，rental-cars and even ATM availability，all of which make a destination friendly to expats and visitors alike．4.What do we know about livable cities______A. They hardly offer tourist passing interest．B. They may not be good tourist destinations．C. They can arouse the inspiration of visitors．D. They are usually highly ranked by tourists．5.What is Mercer more concerned about when ranking livable cities______A. Tourist attractions．B. ATM availability．C. Business-friendliness．D. Local residents．6.Why does the writer use Mercer's Quality of Living Survey______A. To make his view convincing．B. To compare those livable cities．C. To better understand the survey．D. To support the British-based firm．CEvery day around the world, thousands of people with little to no scholarly training in art history walk into museums. They may or may not read notice boards that share relevant information of the artworks or artists. Imagine, before being permitted to direct their eyeballs to the art on the walls, museum visitors were required to read a 15- or 20-page introduction to each piece or each artist. How many people would go to museums if that were the case?Yet this seems to be the expectation when it comes to reading classic literature. Classic novels typically come with 15- or 20-page introductions, which often include spoilers, assuming that readers do not come to classic books to discover, be absorbed in, and be surprised by the story world. Also, apparently, we mustn't read classics alone, without experts guiding our experiences.However, classic literature is in a unique position to show us that we're not alone in our pains and joys. By taking us out of our time, classic books free us to see beyond the set of beliefs we stick to and to connect human experiences that remain alive across time and place. What could be more grounding, more comforting, than seeing ourselves in the battles, longings, and pleasures that have played out across hundreds, thousands of years of human history? Our personal engagement is the first step of a longer journey of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world. We may, for example, feel for Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter though we despair of the world she lived in.While we're letting go of things, let's stop worrying about understanding everything. We can't. It will be fun if we embrace curiosity, the pleasure of working out a mystery, and our common relationships as humans. We can feel, for example, the power of self-sacrifice in Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities even when we lack full understanding of the cultural references and language.7.Most museum goers ________.A. enjoy reading notice boardsB. understand the artworks wellC. lack professional art knowledgeD. share common interest in artworks8.What can the spoilers in Para. 2 possibly be?A. Story writers.B. Readers' expectations.C. Guiding experts．D. Plots given away in advance.9.What prevents readers enjoying reading classics?A. Showing curiosity about the writers.B. Letting go of things.C. Trying to understanding everything.D. Working out mysteries.10.What message is mainly conveyed in the passage?A. We should find more fun from classics.B. Reading classics is a personal exploration.C. Experts need to give readers better guidance.D. Classic literature benefits readers a great deal.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy to learn English．According to them，with little effort，a student will be able to speak the language fluently in three months or even ten days．When I see advertisements like this，I don't know whether to laugh or cry．If it were that easy，I would have to look for another job，because very few qualified teachers would be needed．(1) Otherwise the advertisements would not appear．It is natural for students to be attracted to methods that will teach them quickly and efficiently．(2) And it is no use pretending that anyone has discovered a perfect way of teaching English．Some experts even argue that there are many good methods of teaching a language．No doubt this is true to a certain extent，but it is not very helpful to students．(3) Of course it is clear that students who go to England，America，or Australia to learn English have a great advantage over others．But many students cannot afford to do so．Other students go to the opposite extreme．(4) But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise word in another language．In my personal opinion，no one can ever learn to speak a language unless he is interested in it．Human beings，unlike animals，do not like making noises unless they understand and can relate them to their own lives．It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication．(5) It will be helpful if we practise the unfamiliar forms in real situations，talking to each other about real life in real language．A．We need other people to talk to and listen to．B．They teach themselves at home with dictionaries．C．Every teacher is an individual with his own personality．D．But a large number of people must believe these ridiculous claims．E．It's impossible for any translation method to produce good pronunciation．F．But it is difficult for anyone to explain why one method is better than another．G．Some students believe that the only way to learn a language is to stay in that country．11.

To reduce human deaths in crash with wildlife．B. To prevent wildlife from being struck by vehicles．C. To arouse public awareness of wildlife protection．D. To provide a safer choice to cross the risky road-2.According to Jen Watkins，what is the biggest challenge in crossing construction？______A. Finding ways to help guide animals across the bridge．B. Collecting money to build more wildlife crossings．C. Locating areas to construct appropriate crossings．D. Encourage drivers to obey the regulations of traffic．3.What do the underlined words in Paragraph 5 imply？______A. The bridge will prove to be well worth the high price．B. Expense for building such bridges will be reduced．C. The bridge will greatly promote trade and commerce．D. Lives saved through the bridge are definitely beyond price．BAs a young child，Ann Makosinski would spend hoursexperimenting with her toys and other everyday objects around her to create her own inventions．Now a first-year Arts student，Makosinski is a well-known inventor．She won the recent Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award of Excellence，which recognizes creative business solutions to social problems一the same recognition was given to Barack Obama in 2014．Her two inventions-the Hollow Flashlight and the e-Drink-have been causing excitement internationally since their creation．When Makosinski was 15 years old，she created a flashlight powered by the heat of one's hand．This invention was the result of a 9th grade science project，but her goal was to offer a practical solution to people with unlimited access to power and electricity．"One of my friends from the Philippines told me that she failed school because she had no light to study with at night，so that was kind of the inspiration．" Makosinski explained．At 12th grade，Makosinski then went on to create the e-Drink．It is a coffee cup that harvests the extra heat of a hot drink while it cools，stores it as electricity in an intemal（内置的）battery and makes it available to charge an external device such as a phone，whose life can now be longer by approximately 10 to 30 minutes．"My favorite part of creating inventions would be when you had the idea and you have to physically build it，and it doesn't work out，" she said．"So you have to figure out different ways to solve it．A lot of times，I'll give up and I'll come back after a couple of days and I'll take it up again．"Her advice to other student innovators？"Start now．There's nothing holding you back．Actually，you can do whatever you want．" Makosinski said，"If you want to make something，follow your heart，then go ahead．If there's something you really want to do，you will make time for it and you will find time in the day to do your schoolwork．"4.Makosinsky created the powerless flashlight mainly to ______A. satisfy her desire to create inventionsB. settle problems in study for her friendC. help those who are short of electricityD. finish the assignment of a science project5.Which of the following is mainly explained in paragraph 4？______A. How the e-Drink was invented．B. Why the e-Drink was created．C. What the e-Drink brings．D. How the e-Drink works．6.Which can be the best title for this passage？______A. Popular Inventions by a Teenager GirlB. Teenager Girl Advancing in CreationC. Valuable Advice from a Creative GirlD. Awards Given to a Young InventorCWhen athletes at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics collect their medals，they'll not only be wearing something that celebrates their sporting performance，but something that symbolizes lastingness．For both the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics，organizers aim to make all of the gold，silver，and bro nze medals out of used electronics．This strong message about how to make use of e-waste has gotten a of Japan involved．Starting in April 2017，the Japanese Olympic Committee began collecting old laptops，digital cameras，smartphones，and other abandoned electronics．The initiative（倡议）has achieved great success．Already，the quantity needed for bronze medals has been met，and they're in the homestretch for silver and gold medals，meaning the collection process can pack up at the end of March．When looking just at the number of cell phones collected，the amount of waste is shocking．In a period of about 18 months，a little over 5 million smartphones were collected thanks to cooperation with NTT DOCOMO．Japan's largest mobile phone operator allowed the public to turn in phones at their shops，which counted a lot in the project's success．After being taken apart and sorted，the small electronics underwent a smelting process to extract（提炼）all the gold，silver，andbronze elements．Thanks to this initiative，the worldwide struggle with-waste will have a global platform．According to a study published by the United Nations University-44.7 million metric tons of e-waste were made in 2016．Only 20% of that was actually recycled．Unfortunately，this figure is set to rise significantly in the coming years，moving to 52.2 million metric tons by 2021．So while the Tokyo Olympics initiative might be just a drop in the bucket，it5s a good start in showing what the public can do if they're made more aware of the issue．7.What can be learnt about Tokyo Olympics initiative from the passage？______A. E-waste in the world is increasing significantly．B. Ifs easy to get elements needed from the used electronics．C. Only producers of electronics participated in the project．D. NTT DOCOMO contributed to the success of the project．8.Which can best replace the underlined word "homestretch"in Paragraph 2？______A. starting periodB. collection effortC. final stageD. hard search9.What influence does the Tokyo Olympics initiative have？______A. It offers an effective method to solve the problem of e-waste．B. It shows the power of advanced technology in daily life．C. It saves the expense spent in making all the medals．D. It encourages the public's involvement in dealing with e-waste．10.What is the writer's attitude to the Tokyo Olympics initiative？______A. PositiveB. NegativeC. AmbiguousD.

That winter, my mother and my stepfather moved our family toSouthern California. My brother and I were leaving our ruralAlabamabehind. This would be our first New Year away fromAlabama. My mother took toCalifornialike a swan to a royal lake. My athletic little brother, Paul, was keyed up at a climate that allowed him to go to the beach whenever he wanted.I, however, was a fat child with heavy southern pronunciation. My first day in the new class, I introduced myself in a low voice. The moment I opened my mouth to speak, the whole class burst into laughter, “He talks funny.” It was so frustrating that I went to place a call to Granny Smith after school, who was my biggest support, But I didn’t get through.On Sunday evening, the phone rang. It was Granny. She often took advantage of the discounted long-distance rates on Sundays. She said she’d shipped a New Year package. Sure enough, it arrived. Surprised at the box, large enough to hold a small refrigerator, we eagerly tore it open. The smell of Granny’s house filled the room: a combination of fried meat, sausages, furniture polish and decorations. Her house was tiny and always filled withtackyholiday decorations and homemade food before New Year. But in my childhood eyes, it was precious and fantastic.There were countless tins and containers. We open hem to discover piles of holiday treats. She even included our traditional candy bats. The box was as bottomless as a magical box. There, beneath all these, was familiar holiday.Every New Year that we spent inCalifornia, the postal service would call and say our package was arrived. Over the years, many treasures arrived in the box. For me, it’s always been the best part of the holiday.4. How did the author’s brother feel when they were moving toCalifornia?A. Indifferent.B.

An UnforgettableHolidayC. Our Move toCaliforniaD. A Telephone Call from GrannyCEvery day in the United States animals are beaten, ignored, or forced to struggle for survival. Left in poor conditions with no food or water, they have little hope as they live out their days without the mercy they deserve. Some are found and rescued, given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be; others aren't so lucky. To grow as a nation, we must fight for these abused(受虐待的) animals’ rights and seriously punish heartless owners.One of the first steps in protecting animals and creating effective cruelty laws is to know what animal cruelty actually is. There are two categories: passive cruelty and active cruelty. The first involves acts of omission, meaning the abuse happens as a result of ignorance or lack of action. Passive cruelty might seem less serious, but that is not the case; it can lead to terrible pain and suffering, and finally death. Examples include starvation, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and the failure to get medical care. Passive cruelty is sometimes due to the owner's ignorance, so many animal control officers will first try to educate ignorant owners on how to properly care for animals before giving them a citation(传票) or putting them in prison.Active cruelty, on the other hand, is more well-known and disturbing. Sometimes referred to as non-accidental injury, this type of abuse involves purposeful harm on an animal in order to feel more powerful orgain control. Active cruelty against animals should be taken very seriously, since it can be a sign that a person has serious psychological issues and may commit more acts of violence---possibly against humans.It is hard to tell just what drives people to harm innocent animals. Most animal abusers find some sort of achievement or power in torturing a victim that they know can't fight back. While not all animal abusers become serial killers, it is important to take every case seriously.As a nation we need to make it our right to come together and ensure the safety of our beloved pets. As Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”8. What is the first step to do with the passive cruelty abusers?A. To throw them into prison.B. To bring the case to the court.C. To teach them how to treat animals.D. To give them a strong warning.9. We can learn from Para.3 that active cruelty ______.A. is actually a sign of power or controlB. has been taken seriously in the nationC. may lead to serious psychological problemsD. may cause acts of violence against humans10. What is the author’s attitude towards animal cruelty?A. Uncertain.B. Doubtful.C. Concerned.D. Pessimistic.11. The author wrote this passage to ______.A. warn those heartless pet ownersB. tell people the harm of animal crueltyC. explain the reasons why people harm animalsD. call on people to fight for the abused animalsDAlaska—The American city Anchorage is recovering from a powerful earthquake Friday that damaged public buildings, homes and roads.The 7.0 earthquake caused buildings to slake. But there have been no reports of deaths, serious injuries or damage. Officials say the quake has not affected transportation of food and her supplies. “The ships are coming in on schedule, the supply lines are at this point working well,” the government told reporters Sunday.The Glenn Highway was probably the road hit hardest by the earthquake. It connects the state's largest city to other parts in the north. Traffic has been heavy and slow—moving since the quake. Drivers are being guided. Groups of workers are trying to rebuild areas where the quake left large holes in the road.People who are still nervous after the major quake have been more upset by more than 1, 700 aftershocks. “Anything that moves, you feel terrified”said David, whose home suffered structural(结构)damage, including a sunken foundation(地基). Actually, Alaska came up with strict building rules after a 9. 2 earthquake in 1964. That was the second most powerful earthquake on record.Government officials said a public health center promises that moneyfor medical treatment will continue to come. Mental healthy service(心理健康服务)is also available for people hurt by the disaster.Earthquake experts say there is a 4 percent chance of another 7. 0 earthquake or greater in the following week. "The chance is very small, but its not impossible, ” said the expert, Paul Caruso.12. What was the result of the earthquake?A. Buildings were damaged.B. Food supply was cut off.C. Many people were killedD. The ships could not come in.13. Why is the traffic slow on the Glenn Highway?A. Because small quakes hit the city.B. Because falling rocks are a danger.C. Because the highway is badly damaged.D. Because drivers are misled.14. What can you learn from Paul Caruso?A. Another greater earthquake is on the way.B. Chances still exists of another earthquake.C. It will be safe in the 1th week after the quake.D. There is no possibility for more quakes.15. Where can your possibly read the passage?A. Ina story book.B. In a travel journal.C. In a poster.D.

2020年浙江省温州中学高三英语二模试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（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ATheatre reflects the values of the civilization out of which it grows. The following are the types of theatre performances an ancient Roman might have witnessed then.Fescennine VerseFescennine Verse was a pioneer of Roman comedy. Ironic and improvisational（即兴的）, it was used mainly at festivals or weddings, and as invective. With early native Italian funny dialogues in Latin verse, it was thought to have combined with a tradition of performances by masked dancers and musicians from Etruria.Fabula AtellanaFabula Atellana relied on common characters, masks, direct humor, and simple plots. They were performed by actors improvising. Fabula Atellana came from the Oscan city of Atella. There were 4 main types of characters: the braggart, the greedy blockhead, the clever hunchback and the stupid old man, like modern Punch and Judy shows.Fabula TogataNamed for the clothing symbolic of the Roman people Fabula Togata had various subtypes. One was the Fabula Tabernaria, named for the tavern（酒馆）where the comedy’s preferred characters, lowlifes, might be found. One describing more middle-class types, and continuing the Roman clothing theme, was the Fabula Trabeata.Fabula PraetextaFabula Praetexta is the name for Roman tragedies on Roman themes, Roman history or current politics. Fabula Praetexta was less popular than tragedies on Greek themes. During the Golden Age of drama in the Middle Republic, there were four great Roman writers of tragedy, Naevius, Ennius, Pacuvius, and Accius. Of their surviving tragedies, 90 titles remain.All the performances above began as a translation of Greek forms, even to the extent of their being performed in Greek costume.1.Where might an ancient Roman witness Fescennine Verse?A.At a party.B.At a funeral.C.At a wedding.D.At a concert.2.Which type of performance describes the middle-class life?A.Fabula Atellana.B.Fabula Tabernaria.C.Fabula Trabeata.D.Fabula Praetexta.3.What do the listed types of performances have in common?A.They copy Latin dramas.B.They take on Greek forms.C.They reflect Roman themes.D.They refer to Italian stories.BOn September 7, 1930, Yuan Longping was born inBeijing. Fluent in English, his mother often read Friedrich Nietzsche's works to him. Influenced by his mother, Yuan Longping liked English,geography and chemistry at school. After graduating from university, he became a teacher in the countryside ofHunanin 1953.With lots of crop failures, nationwide hunger hitChinain the 1960s, making many people live a bad life. Yuan was sad and felt he must do something. Since the climate inHunanwas not friendly to growing wheat. He decided to devote himself to studying how to increase the production of rice, a basic food for over 60 percent of Chinese people. From then on, he began a lifelong connection with rice.Yuan Longping succeeded in growing the world's first high production hybrid rice (杂交水稻) variety in 1973, which could reach a yield of over 500 kg per more than 200 kg than before. For the next four decades, he continued to work on the research of hybrid rice. In 2020, hybrid rice developed by his team achieved 1,500 kg permuin two growing seasons, a new world record.Nowadays, the hybrid rice is grown in almost half ofChina's rice fields and its production accounts for 60 percent of the total rice production inChina. The hybrid rice production is 20 percent more than the common kinds , the yearly increase of which feeds up to 100 million people.In 2019, Yuan Longping, known as the “Father of hybrid rice”, was awarded with Medal of the Republic,China's highest honor.Yuan Longping's biggest dream in life was to develop more hybrid rice varieties, which could be grown all over the world to help solve the global food problem. So far, the hybrid varieties he developed have been grown in over 40 countries, including theUSA,BrazilandIndia.4. What do we know about Yuan Longping according to the text?A.

So she set out to work.The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can program it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.It was the first iOS app that Medha had created. While she didn't think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App. Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia's 10th District.The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and math by experimenting with coding and computer science. Winning students are invited lo attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $250 in Amazon Web Service credits.Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, program and test the app. As for her next app? Medha's not certain. She temporarily has her app-development ambitionson holdbecause she's busy teaching herself artificial intelligence to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes,she knows that there are teams of engineers probably doing the same thing. But she figures it can't hurt her own part, too.“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,” she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves. ”8. Why did Medha Gupta feel worried?A. It took a long time to walk home.B. It was difficult to write an app.C. It was colder than ever in winter.D. It was unsafe to walk home alone.9.

Achieved.D. Satisfied.11. What's the main idea of the text?A. Medha signed up for the App Challenge.B. Medha designed Safe Travel successfully.C. An app Safe Travel guides walkers home.D. The App Challenge directs students to choose careers.DAmerica---that glorious symbol of multiculturalism, the great melting pot---qualifies as part of the developed world, right? Not quite, if we consider the state of second language learning in schools across the country. According to a 2018 study, Europe often tops the U.S. in foreign language education in school. 92% of European students are learning a foreign language in school. In America it’s only 20%. In more than 20 European countries, studying a foreign language for at least one year is compulsory. In comparison, only 10 states and D.C. require learning a foreign language for graduation.I went to a public school in Pennsylvania that ranked onNewsweek’s list of America’s top high schools in 2015. Foreign language learning was not a graduation requirement. A common response to such stories and statistics is: So what? Why should Americans care about learning another language when English has recently seemed to dominate as the official language of the world?The world is globalizing faster than we can imagine. More than half of the world’s population speaks more than one language. It is also increasingly becoming the need for success in this globalizing world. Having the ability to speak a second language opens up the possibility of travelling and immersing yourself in another part of the world. This means people can feel other cultures, and traditions in places you were previously kept away because you could not communicate in the language.The teaching of foreign languages can be instrumental in bringing about peace and unity in the country we live in. Learning a second language can be an efficient vehicle to help to bridge communities. To speak another language means having access to a universe of different experiences and world views of another community ofpeople.12. Why does the writer mention Europe?A. America makes studying a foreign language compulsory.B. America is the glorious symbol of multiculturalism.C. America isn’t really qualified as the developed world.D. America doesn’t focus on foreign language education13. What is American’s attitude towards education of foreign languages?A. Less concerned.B. More worried.C. Quite doubtful.D. Very supportive.14. What can visiting people do if they can speak the language where they visit?A. Make the world globalizing.B. Achieve success in business.C. Experience people’s real life there.D. Keep away their own culture.15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Using a second language can bring harmony.B. Communities of people enjoy the great views.C. Speaking another language is reallynecessary.D. Learning a second language can be difficult.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。

Despite the incredible growth of online streaming platforms like iTunes, Apple Music and Tidal over the past 15 years, a more traditional medium has also seen a return of interest and sales in the music industry. In 2020, almost one in five of all albums purchased in the UK is vinyl (黑胶唱片), and it has once again become the most popular physical musical medium.With digital streaming so easy and convenient, why are so many peopledrawn to traditional records? Some experts claim that vinyl is a physical medium for experiencing music, something tangible (有形的) to hold and own. For most people, having something tangible and interacting with it gives depth to the experience of music. Listening to an album and touching it the way the artist intended can make them feel more connected to the music and the artist. Records are physical products that can be not only displayed but also gifted, shared, traded and passed down through generations.Sound quality is another hot topic. A lot of music lovers feel that the analogue sound (模拟声音) vinyl offers is superior to modern digital audio, particularly with regards to the compressed formats streaming platforms use. There’s a common belief that old-school analogue audio has a warmer, fuller sound than digitised music. For vinyl followers, the very defect traditional recorders often have, such as the familiar crackle (劈啪作响) when the record starts, bring the music to life in a different way.There’s aritualisticaspect to vinyl that a lot of people are drawn to, too. The act of putting a record on—carefully removing the record from the sleeve, placing it on the record player and gently dropping the needle on the right groove (凹槽)—is a more assiduous (一丝不苟的), mindful way of engaging with music. When you’re listening to vinyl, you can’t tap abutton and go about your day while the streaming service provides hours of music. You need to stay close to the record player to move the needle and flip the record over.It’s clear that the vinyl interest is well underway, and vinyl records are truly making a comeback. In an increasingly digital society, there’s something to be said for analogue experiences. Perhaps one of the great thingsabout being alive in the 21st century is our ability to have the best of both worlds—the timeless appeal of physical records alongside the easy access to vast music libraries that streaming offers.4. What are the statistics published by the BPI used to show?A. An increase in music consumption.B. The recovery of music industry.C. A comeback of a physical medium.D. The acceptance of online streaming.5. According to some experts, why does vinyl interest many people?A. It attracts people by its realistic feel.B. It offers simple access to different music.C. It shares a new way to enjoy music.D. It provides people with perfect sound effect.6. The underlined word “ritualistic” in Para.4 means something ______.A. Overlooked by society.B. Updated very frequently.C. Performed as part of a ceremony.D. Kept for a long time without changing.7. How does the writer feel about the future development of music medium?A. Traditional records will get underway.B. The analogue experiences may matter more.C. Vinyl sales will boom with technological advance.D. There should be a good mix of old and new.CTeens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better healthas adults, according to research published by an American research center.“This research suggests that improving students' relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success," said Jinho Kim, a professor atKoreaUniversityand author of the study."Itcould also bring about healthimplicationsin the long run.”Previous research has suggested that teens' social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal（因果的）-it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships with their peers（同龄人）, rather than on their relationships with teachers.To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in theU.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）. As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?" As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. "This is not something that most teachers receive much training in," Kim said, “but it should be.”8. What does the underlined word “implications" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Recipes.B. Habits.C. Benefits.D. Risks.9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Poor health in adolescence.B. Limitations of the previous research.C. Teens' relationships with their peers.D. Factors affecting health in adulthood.10. What does Kim's research show?A. Good adult health depends on teens' good teachers.B. Good family background promises long-term adult health.C. Healthy peer relationships leads to students' academic success.D. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students' adult health.11. Where does this text probably come from?A. A health magazine.B. A medical report.C. A term paper.D. A family survey.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.
