2021年广东省高考英语模拟试卷(4月份)-含答案与解析
2021年广东省高考英语模拟试卷（4月份）第一部分阅读（共两节，满分37.5分）第一节（共4小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5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1．（7.5分）Wildlife Crossing BridgesThe Wildlife BridgeIn 2018，Utah built a wildlife bridge over the busy highway 1﹣80. A 4.8﹣kilometer fence was created to help guide animals to the bridge. Normally，animals take a long time to discover and begin using wildlife bridges，so experts didn't expect the bridge to get much traffic for several years. But recently，they've discovered many different kinds of animals are beginning to move by using the bridge.The Rope BridgeOn China's Hainan Island in 2015，scientists created a bridge for Hainan gibbons （长臂猿）that are the world's most endangered primates and normally cross the forest by swinging high in the trees. But after a 2014 typhoon，landslides caused huge gaps in the forest，which were forcing the gibbons to make dangerous jumps. Scientists created a simple and cheap rope bridge，which settled the problem.The Eco﹣BridgeIn Uttarakhand state in India，the forest department has built a special "eco﹣bridge"，made from all﹣natural materials. It's 27.5 meters long and runs over one of the busiest highways in the area. Though the bridge is high in the trees，forest department workers hope the bridge will help smaller animals on the ground，too. Already，the bridge has gotten a lot of attention on the Internet，with many people taking photos in front of it every day.The Park BridgeThe Phil Hardberger Park lies in San Antonio，Texas，and recently it has opened what they say is the largest wildlife bridge in the US. This bridge，unlike the others mentioned here，was built for use by both animals and humans. The park says they have already seen deer using the bridge.（1）What has made experts feel unexpected about the Wildlife Bridge？A.It's been completed within 2 years.B.It's being used by animals already.C.It's become an Internet﹣famous site.D.It's America's biggest wildlife bridge.（2）Which bridges run over highways？A.The Wildlife Bridge and the Eco﹣Bridge.B.The Wildlife Bridge and the Rope Bridge.C.The Eco﹣Bridge and the Park Bridge.D.The Rope Bridge and the Park Bridge.（3）What is the common purpose in building the four bridges？A.To attract more tourists.B.To reduce traffic accidents.C.To save endangered animals.D.To create wildlife passageways.2．（10分）Linda Tutt High School opened a unique grocery store in the city of Sanger，where instead of paying for products with cash，their community can earn points which they then trade in. How do they gain points？By performing good deeds! All students，staff members and families in the school district have access to the daily goods they need to get through COVID﹣19 一free of charge.The store is supplied through a partnership with First Refuge Ministries，Albertsons grocery store，and Texas Health Resources. It is open three days a week.They even offer a COVID﹣friendly curbside （路边）pickup on Tuesday nights! It is meant to provide necessary daily goods for families in need. Families are automatically awarded points based on their family size，but students can help the families earn more by helping out around the school，cleaning，or getting good referrals （推荐）from their teachers. Headmaster Anthony Love called it "the ingenious method"，compared with the traditional approaches used to make students help others.The store is operated and managed entirely by the students. Not only are they encouraged to show others kindness，but they also have a sense of control during this uncertain time. "Many of them come from low﹣income families that need just a little extra support with food，" Anthony added.So the store has the extra profit of giving its student employees' valuable experience. "I think this is the most exciting part of it，which they can carry with them as they graduate from high school and move on into the world，" Anthony said.What a brilliant way to support their community! Between providing daily goods for families，giving kids experience concerned，and making their school a better place through good deeds，traditional businesses could learn a thing or two from this approach!（1）What is special about the grocery store？A.Its owner is a local school.B.It is open three days a week.C.Students rent it free of charge.D.Good deeds can be exchanged for its goods.（2）Why did Linda Tutt High School open the grocery store？A.To help people in need.B.To get some incomes.C.To keep people at home.D.To offer students paid jobs.（3）What does the underlined word "ingenious" in Paragraph 2 mean？A.

It encourages students to graduate.D. It saves more traditional businesses.3．（10分）The German ship Polarstern is normally designed to break up heavy ice. But in September，2019，the ship set sail from Norway with the goal of getting frozen into the Arctic ice cap for a year. The mission （任务）was part of a ＄155 million project known as MOSAiC，led by Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute（AWI），whose goal is to learn more about the ice that forms near the North Pole. The ice cap here isn't completely solid，and it's a collection of floes ﹣﹣﹣floating sheets of ice. As summer approaches，some of the ice melts and many floes break free.By October，2019，the ship was frozen into the Arctic ice north of Siberia. The mission wasn't without its challenges. First and most importantly，the Polarstern had to find an ice floe that is used as its primary research base. The ice floe must be solid enough to anchor the ship and to support all the research equipment the scientists needed to use.However，doing it proved easier said than done. Once the ship was frozen in place，the scientists had to wrestle with the dangerous polar bears that were wandering around.Dealing with extreme cold was another challenge. They also had to face the long and dark polar night，a period during winter when the sun doesn't rise at all in the central Arctic.In September，2020，the boat finally returned to Bremerhaven，Germany."We are watching the Arctic sea ice die，" said the mission's leader，Markus Rex.The team reports that the ice shelf is full of holes，and that the ice that remains is thin and melting. Recent satellite measurements support that idea. The size of this year's ice cap is the second smallest ever recorded.Next comes the long process of studying all the data that was collected during the last year. Thomas Krumpen，one of the scientists，said "We'll likely be busy with it over the next ten years."The scientists hope this abundant information will help them make better predictions about climate change.（1）What does MOSAiC try to do in the Arctic？A.Protect the ice cap.B.Stop the ice melting.C.Study the ice deeply.D.Break up heavy ice.（2）What was the biggest challenge for the scientists on the Polarstern？A.Finding the right floe.B.Fighting the extreme cold.C.Avoiding polar bears.D.Reducing the loneliness.（3）What is the author's attitude towards the situations of the Arctic ice？A. Carefree.B. Positive.C. Tolerant.D. Objective.（4）Which of the following best describes the journey to the Arctic？A. Expensive.B. Confidential.C. Fruitful.D. Casual.4．（10分）When a living thing gives off a glow（光），it's called bioluminescence. Fireflies area well﹣known example of bioluminescence. Many mushrooms are also bio﹣luminescent. Fireflies and other bio﹣luminescent creatures light up thanks to chemicals inside their bodies. These chemicals are known as luciferins （荧光素），which cause a chemical reaction that gives off light.Plants don't naturally have luciferins，so there are no naturally bio﹣luminescent plants. In the past，scientists created glowing plants by adding DNA from glowing bacteria. But the glowing effect was weak. They also created glowing plants by adding luciferins to plants. In 2017，a team at MIT was able to cause watercress plants to glowfor about four hours. Now，researchers at a Russian company called Planta，working with scientists from the United Kingdom and Austria，have come up with a new method of creating glowing plants which last as long as they are alive. The scientists focused on an acid that is found in both plants and mushrooms. By adding certain parts of the DNA from glowing mushrooms to ordinary tobacco plants，the scientists are able to create plants that can make their own luciferins using this acid. The scientists report that the greenish light is about 10 times brighter than in earlier ones，which is strong enough to be easily recorded with an ordinary camera，but doesn't affect the health of the plants.Glowing plants reflect the way plants work. The scientists point out that the glowing isn't constant，but seems to change，depending upon what is happening inside the plants. Younger parts of the plants glow more strongly than older parts. The flowers glow especially brightly. They've noticed moving patterns of light in the plants，which they think may show activity in plants that normally can't be seen. The glowing also helps uncover how plants may be affected by things around them. For example，the plants glow much more strongly when a ripe banana skin is nearby.（1）What does the first paragraph focus on？A. What bioluminescence is.B. What luciferins are used for.C. Why chemical reaction exists.D. Why some living things glow.（2）How do tobacco plants produce luciferins？A.By glowing constantly.B.By using an input chemical.C.By making glowing bacteria.D.By absorbing natural light.（3）What does the author convey about glowing plants in the last paragraph？A.The activities of their light.B.Their value to the scientists.C.Their effects on other plants.D.The spaces of their existence.（4）What is the best title for the text？A.Scientists Create Glowing PlantsB.Glowing Plants Attract ScientistsC.Plants Glow Better and BetterD.Making Plants Glow Is Necessary第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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选项中有两项为多余选项5．（12.5分）Listening to music is relatively inexpensive and everyone can do it easily. As is known to all，music has many benefits.（1）Meanwhile，you can also make use of it to create more joy in your life. Here are some ways.Let music say "Good morning" to you.（2）This music eases you into the day like a beautiful sunrise，and starts you out in a good mood. This is easy to program if you have a Smartphone that allows you to choose a song as your alarm. A positive morning music ceremony is a sure way to start your day off in a better mood. （3）Sing aloud with music as often as you can. If you want to take the positive effects of listening to music to another level，try singing. Singing is one of the best ways to regulate breathing and promote relaxation. Sing in the shower；sing in the car.（4）This is not about performing but about your relaxation. If you're going to sing，picking and singing the songs that you know will put you in a better mood，inspire you，or help you relax.（5）If you have a daily exercise routine，try taking music along with you. A morning walk or run can become easier and more enjoyable if you have music as your personal coach and companion. Again，it is important for you to choose music that works for you and that you know will have the effect you are trying to achieve.A.Try waking to a familiar piece of music.B.Make movements with music every day.C.Spending a few minutes singing aloud is necessary.D.Don't worry if you think that you aren't a "good" singer.E.Find some beautiful and inspiring music while you're working.F.You can use music in your daily routine to help reduce stress and anxiety.G.This can also prevent your mind dragging you back into the worries of yesterday.第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分15分）第一节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项6．（15分）Paige Calendine of Zanesville，Ohio，may look a little different from her teammates，but she's just as talented 一if not more so.

They were going to meet up with Lynn's husband in Alaska，where he is stationed as a soldier.Because of COVID﹣19 regulations，they had to stick to a strict five﹣day schedule to reach their destination. Unfortunately，once they entered Canada，things began to take a turn for the worse. Lynn's phone didn't have signal without an Internet connection，so they had no GPS. Not to mention，her windshield wipers（雨刮器）wouldn't work，she was having an extremely difficult time driving in the snow，which she had never done before，and she wasn't allowed to stop anywhere for help because of the travelrestrictions.Thankfully，a woman named Teena noticed her crying in her car at a gas station. Upon hearing Lynn's story，she decided to take a look at their tires. She found that Lynn had summer tires. That's why she was having so much trouble driving in the snow. Teena helped Lynn get to a tire shop，where the owner helped her swap out her wheels for some that were better suited to the winter weather and changed her wipers ﹣even though it was Sunday and the business was actually closed.Lynn got back on the road，only to stop at a hotel that was meant only for oil field workers. But when Andy，the hotel manager，saw that Lynn was struggling，he bent the rules to let the mom and her kids spend the night so they didn't have to get back on the road in cold weather.Unable to bear driving another three days alone，Lynn decided to hire a driver to take them the rest of the way to the Alaskan border，another 1，000 miles away. She reached out to Teena to see if she could help her find someone. Between Teena and the power of social media，they were connected with Gary Bath，a Canadian Ranger （护林员）who offered to help them get to Alaska!注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答Over the course of their three﹣day drive，_______Lynn and Gary had great conversations.________参考答案与试题解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分37.5分）第一节（共4小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5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1．（7.5分）Wildlife Crossing BridgesThe Wildlife BridgeIn 2018，Utah built a wildlife bridge over the busy highway 1﹣80.

But in September，2019，the ship set sail from Norway with the goal of getting frozen into the Arctic ice cap for a year. The mission （任务）was part of a ＄155 million project known as MOSAiC，led by Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute（AWI），whose goal is to learn more about the ice that forms near the North Pole. The ice cap here isn't completely solid，and it's a collection of floes ﹣﹣﹣floating sheets of ice. As summer approaches，some of the ice melts and many floes break free.By October，2019，the ship was frozen into the Arctic ice north of Siberia. The mission wasn't without its challenges. First and most importantly，the Polarstern had to find an ice floe that is used as its primary research base. The ice floe must be solid enough to anchor the ship and to support all the research equipment the scientists needed to use.However，doing it proved easier said than done. Once the ship was frozen in place，the scientists had to wrestle with the dangerous polar bears that were wandering around.Dealing with extreme cold was another challenge. They also had to face the long and dark polar night，a period during winter when the sun doesn't rise at all in the central Arctic.In September，2020，the boat finally returned to Bremerhaven，Germany."We are watching the Arctic sea ice die，" said the mission's leader，Markus Rex.The team reports that the ice shelf is full of holes，and that the ice that remains is thin and melting. Recent satellite measurements support that idea. The size of this year's ice cap is the second smallest ever recorded.Next comes the long process of studying all the data that was collected during the last year. Thomas Krumpen，one of the scientists，said "We'll likely be busy with it over the next ten years."The scientists hope this abundant information will help them make better predictions about climate change.。

But there may be a(n) 41 to doing so, as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.The research was led by neuroscientist(神经科学家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero6 in either 42 type or RealD 3D. They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film. The test covered memory, reaction time and cognitive (认知的) function, and the results were later 43 .According to the research, participants 44 a 23 per cent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction time.Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain 45 in the future. “These findings are more significant than youmight think,” he said. “It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a(n) 46 decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may 47 play a role in slowing this decline.”A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets(耳机)that48 brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something. “A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is 49 remarkable. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,” he said. “In evolutionary 50 , the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense. 3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal—this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds,” Dr Fagan added.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Researchers recently find w omen likely face work environments that push against the “having it all” mentality, leading to feelings of guilt and depression.Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health, according to a new study that finds that “supermoms” have higher rates of depression compared with working moms who let things 51 .The research, presented Aug. 20 at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas, finds that working is 52 for mothers’ mental health. But among working mothers, the least depressed are those who don’t expect to 53 work and family life perfectly, said study researcher Katrina Leupp, a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle.“The ideal that women can do it all actually 54 the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful about whether or not work and family c an be balanced,” Leupp told LiveScience.Leupp analyzed survey 55 from 1,600 married women who participated in a large survey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. In 1987, the women answered questions to judge their support of women’s 56 , including whether they agreed with statements such as “Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.”In 1992 and 1994, the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression. Like earlier studies, the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptoms of depression, perhaps because outside work giveswomen more 57 interaction, more varied activities and a larger income, Leupp said.Among the employed women, though, the cheeriest were those who had indicated in their younger years the least 58 for women balancing career and family. The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression.“Somewhat 59 , women who don’t expect to be able to balance work and family have better mental health than those who do,” Leupp said.The study didn’t explain why optimistic (乐观的) views of balancing work and motherhood would60 later depression. “The reason may come down to 61 and real-world work environme nts,”Leupp said. “Women who expect to have it all probably come up against 62 that aren’t designed with work-life balance in mind. When they can’t balance everything perfectly, these supermoms are more likely to feel 63 .”“I think this research rea lly speaks to a 64 between women’s expectations and the actual structure of the workplace,” Leupp said.“The takeaway for working moms is to temper their optimism about balancing 65 and employmentand not to blame themselves if they struggle. Recognize that if it feels difficult, it’s because it is difficult.”51. A. happen B. continue C. slide D. end52. A. good B. ready C. hard D. possible53.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits bestaccording to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack. The thunder of their hooves (蹄) rings in the riders’ears, nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes of suspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup—one of the world’s most famous horseraces—were fated to race. Bred for speed, these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions.Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A horse’s owner manages the team and decides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorse’s diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse. A groomer (动物美容师) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer. And of course, no horserace could be run without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy, adapt to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.Australia’s most famous horserace, the Melbourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure excitement. Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated(提名), but only 24 can run. The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically.Each racehorse receives a handicap—a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning—two months before the race. Originally, horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap for previous winners.The first Melbourne Cup in 1861 drew a crowd of 4,000 spectators, and the race’s popularity has grown since then. Held on the first Tuesday of November, the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment.The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich. Today it still attracts society’s upper class. They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort.But anyway it’s all about the race—the effort of horses and riders, the suspense and the thrill of victory.66. What can be learned about the horses in the Melbourne Cup?A. They are all winners of a certain race.B. They are raised and trained by joint effort.C. They are chosen from ordinary horses.D. Their fates are determined by their trainers.67.

The solution may be just a few steps away.“Energy harvesting”promises to power countless consumer devices, often with nothing more thanyour body’s movement or heat. Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products, but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things.“It’s huge,”said Graham Martin, CEO of the EnOcean Alliance, a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies. With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices, “if they are all battery-powered, we’ll have a problem because there’s not enough lithium (锂) in the world,” he added. “So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting.”Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched, the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge. Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades, for example, by winding themselves when their user moves their arm. Now, the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies, Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices.Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation. Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips (芯片) that create electricity from ultrasound (超声波) to power implantable (可植入的) devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile (纺织品) research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes, which can monitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Research firm IDTechEx has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit $2.6 billion by 2024, while WinterGreen Research predicts sales of $4.2 billion by 2021.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex, however. For one thing, the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover, the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them, according to a ColumbiaUniversity study. It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking, running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products. While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years, experts say, people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.74. Which “explode”in the following sentences has the most similar meaning to the word “explode”inParagraph 2?A. They were clearing up when the second bomb exploded.B. The continued tension could explode into more violence.C. The population exploded to 40,000 during the last tourist season.D. The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary.75.

Here’s a suggestion: Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal.Asurvey this summer of 1,215 U.S. managers and employees across a variety of industries, by EY (formerly Ernst & Young), found those aged 18 to 32 rank flexibility among the perks (特殊待遇) they want most, with 33% saying they wouldn’t work anywhere that didn’t offer it. But it seems those aged 33 to 48value flextime even more: 38% of them consider it non-negotiable, with men who said so, at 40%, slightly outnumbering women (37%).“Companies first started offering flexible schedules, in the late 80s and the 90s, as a way to recruit (招募) and keep talented women, but it’s gone way beyond that now,” observes Karyn Twaronite, an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business.Noting that both men and women, in all age groups, ranked flextime(弹性工作制) tops among non-cash perks, Twaronite adds, “That result mirrors exactly what we’re seeing here at EY.” The accounting and consulting giant, No. 57 on Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For, has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for years—including, since 2004, six weeks’ of paid leave for new dads.“Flextime may have started out as a women’s issue, but it’s changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect,” he adds. “I think it’s partly because of the large nu mber of two-career households now, where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one.”The EY survey suggests that, in the next decade or so, the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is. Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule, the report notes, but “respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours, as 62% currently work standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten yea rs.”That doesn’t surprise Twaronite. “Work is changing,” she observes. “The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24 hours a day, especially in global companies that operate across different time zones. The other side of that is that employers are adapting to people’s lives outside of work—because they have to be.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the main finding of the survey?79. Flextime was originally aimed at _____.80. The result of the survey is caused by the fact that _____.81.

2021年山东省高考英语模拟试卷(5月份)(附答案详解)
2021年山东省高考英语模拟试卷（5月份）一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共37.5分）(2021·山东省·模拟题)AWouldn't it be great if you could correct your eyesight, especially nearsightedness, and reduce your dependence on glasses and needn't have eye surgery？The solution is called orthokeratology, or ortho-k（角膜塑形镜）.What is ortho-k？Orthokeratology （ortho-k）is the fitting of specially designed contact lenses （隐形眼镜）that you wear overnight. While you are asleep, the lenses gently reshape the front surface of your cornea （角膜）so you can see clearly the following day after you remove the lenses when you wake up.How Long does the ortho - k effect last？You should be able to see acceptably well without glasses or contact lenses for a day or two, sometimes longer. For best results, one should wear the ortho - k lenses every night.Who are good candidates for ortho -k？Most people with mild to average nearsightedness are good candidates for ortho - k. Because the corneal reshaping effect is temporary, little risk is involved, and you can discontinue wearing the lenses at any time. Children and young adults who want to be glasses-free but are too young for eye surgery or are afraid of taking the surgery often are good candidates for ortho -k. People who participate in contact sports or work in dusty environments that can have problems for contact lens wear also can be good candidates.How much does ortho - k cost？Costs also can vary based on the region of the country and the type of practice where you have the procedure performed. Ortho - k prices in the US generally range from ﹩1，000 to ﹩2，000. But particularly difficult cases of ortho - k can cost as much as ﹩4，000.There are additional costs for lens care solutions and following up exams, which can total about ﹩300 to ﹩500 per year.Finally, keep in mind that, as with all contact lenses, there are some possible side effects of wearing ortho - k lenses. Ask your eye doctor for details.1.According to the passage, which way is introduced to correct eyesight？______A. Performing an operation on the cornea.B. Applying contact lenses in the daytime.C. Fitting proper glasses during the night.D. Wearing specially designed contact lenses.2.Which of the following statements is right？______A. You have to wear ortho-k day and night to ensure good results.B. Ortho-k is a good choice for a man with average nearsightedness.C. The cost of ortho-k in the city is higher than that in the countryside.D. There is no need for people to worry about the side effects of ortho-k.3.How much will a person pay for using ortho-k for the first year at least？______A. ﹩1，000.B. ﹩1，300.C. ﹩1，500.D. ﹩2，000. (2021·山东省·模拟题)BShanghai residents passing through the city's eastern Huangpu district in October might have been astonished at an unusual sight：a "walking" building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground and relocated using new technology named the "walking machine". In the city's latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building, according to Lan Wuji, chief technical supervisor （技术总监）of the project. The supports act like robotic legs. They're divided into two groups which alternately rise up and down, imitating the human pace. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward, said Lan.In recent decades, China's rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for high-rise buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage lost as a result of destruction across the country. Some cities have launched new preservation and conservation campaigns including, on occasion, the use of advanced technologies that allow old buildings to be relocated rather than destroyed.Shanghai has possibly been China's most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and19th-century "Shikumen" houses in the rebuilt Xintiandi neighborhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a satisfying record of relocating old buildings. In 2018，the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, in what was then considered to be Shanghai's most complex relocation project to date.The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7，600 tons, posed a new challenge--it'sT-shaped,while previously relocated structures were square or four-sided. Experts met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the "walking machine"，Lan said. However, he couldn't share the exact cost of the project, and that relocation costs will differ case by case. "It can't be used as a reference, because we have to preserve the historical building no matter what," he said. "But in general,it's cheaper than destroying and then rebuilding something in a new location."4.How does the "walking" machine work？______A. It uses hundreds of ropes to lift up the entire building.B. It uses many wheels to roll the building to the new place.C. It lifts off the building story by story with the robotic legs.D. It uses sensors to control the movement of mobile supports.5.What does the underlined word "razed" probably mean in Paragraph 3？______A. replacedB. burntC. protectedD. destroyed6.According to paragraph 3-4，what can we infer about the heritage preservation in China？______A. The use of advanced technology leads to growing concern.B. Shanghai is the pioneer in preserving architectural heritage.C. The local government has already taken action since the 1930s.D. It consequently holds back the progress of modernization.7.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？______A. New preservation campaigns are launched in China.B. Modernization poses threats to historic buildings.C. A building in Shanghai "walks" to a new location.D. "Walking machine" makes heritage protection cheaper.(2021·山东省·模拟题)CStreaming（流媒体）first became popular in 2005，thanks to YouTube. Nowadays nearly three quarters of American households subscribe to at least one video streaming service. With almost 200 million subscribers worldwide and a billion hours of content viewed each week, Netflix is by far the biggest paid service. No. 2 is Amazon Prime Video. But for every Goliath，there are a hundred Davids. Many smaller streaming services show nothing but sports, classic movies, or Japanese anime （动画片）.In the early days of steaming the appeal was the lower cost, and it still is. The average streamer spends ﹩37 a month and subscribes to three streaming platform,while the average cable（有线电视）user pays more than ﹩200 per month. Still streaming has become more expensive in recent years. In 2019，Netflix raised the price of its basic service 12.5 percent, to ﹩8.99 a month.A quarter of its subscribers, who protested price increases, said they would cancel their subscriptions. Few did.A major reason：Streaming networks have become home to many of the most popular TV series, including recent Emmy winners. They offer full-length feature films as well, and last year, Netflix received more Oscar nominations （提名）than any other media company. In fact, streaming has changed the Oscar competition, at least for this year. Usually only films shown in theaters are considered, but because of the coronavirus, all movies released online in 2020 are qualified for the 2021 Academy Awards. That shift is especially good news for Disney, which is putting the much anticipated movie Mulan on its new streaming service, Disney+. But watching Mulan from your own home will cost ﹩29.99-on top of the service's monthly fee of ﹩6.99.Too much streaming can have its disadvantages, however. There are those who binge-watch, a term Merriam-Webster added in 2017 with the definition "to watch many or all episodes of （a TV series）on end." Alejandro Fragoso from New York holds the Guinness World Record：94 straight hours.8.What do the underlined words "Goliath" and "David" in Paragraph 1 refer to？______A. TV viewers.B. TV programs.C. Streaming subscribers.D. Streaming services.9.Why did most Netflix subscribers continue their subscriptions？______A. They cannot go without it.B. They think the low cost is a thing of the past.C. Netflix has controlled the market.D. They think it is good value for money.10.What does the good news in Paragraph 3 mean to Disney？______A. The movie Mulan can be released on Disney+.B. The movie Mulan will generate great profits.C. The movie Mulan can compete for an Oscar.D. The movie Mulan will win an Oscar award.11.What do binge-watchers tend to do？______A. They start a new life.B. They watch TV series continuously.C. They break world records.D. They watch TV series aimlessly(2021·山东省·模拟题)DIf all goes well, a balloon will soon rise from Esrange Space Center in Kiruna, Sweden. It will float high into the upper atmosphere and then return to Earth. However, environmentalists have arrived to stop this from happening.The campaigners are against the balloon because of what occurs in flight. The balloon will shoot dust into the Earth's upper atmosphere, causing more sunlight to reflect back into space. The dust, known as Stratospheric Aeroso Linjection（SAI），is part of a solar geoengineering （地球工程）program named SCoPex which is being conducted by Harvard University. The aim of the program is to purposely change the Earth's atmosphere to fight climate change. Those who oppose worry about two things. Firstly, the moral risk-if solar geoengineering works, talks on reducing greenhouse gases will be challenged. The second concern is the amount of SAI in the atmosphere. To keep temperatures low, the need of the reflective dust to be released high above Earth will be endless, and a sudden stop could result in rapid warming. Raymond Pierrehumbert, a physicist at Oxford University, says solar geoengineering is even tool risky to research beyond computer models.Not all environmentalists are opposed to it. Since the world is unlikely to achieve the 1.5℃global warming target set in the Paris Agreement, some green organizations favour small-sized geoengineering research.Regardless of the criticism,the research continues. Geoengineering is increasingly gaininginternational attention. A recent report about climate change suggested that SAI could help keep warming below 1.5℃，The National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine in the USA has developed a research plan for solar geoengineering and received governmental funding totaling ﹩9 million. Both China and India have also launched research programmes of their own. Activists may oppose the experiments, but balloons will likely fly anyway.12.What is the function of SAI？______A. To attract dustB. To throw sunlight backC. To absorb heatD. To fight against pollution13.Why does Raymond Pierrehumbert say geoengineering is risky？______A. It may change computer models.B. It may produce too much dust.C. It may release greenhouse gases.D. It may worsen global warming.14.How do some people expect geoengineering research to be done？______A. To a limited degreeB. At a lower temperatureC. By green organizationsD. Without international attention15.Which of the following can be inferred？______A. Voices of environmentalists are ignoredB. More support is going to geoengineeringC. Global warming is getting worse in SwedenD. Geoengineering has proved effective in India二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）(2021·山东省·模拟题)How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.（1）______ . If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things.

It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops of owns, but the records of which customers have purchased what．Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power． But it is clumsy． For one thing, it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy． By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace, to be replaced by new abuses of power． But there is a deeper conceptual problem, too． Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don't pay for them． The users of their services are not their customers． That would be the people who buy advertising from them ﹣ and Facebook and Google, the two virtual giants, dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies．The product they're selling is data, and we, the users, convert our lives to data for the benefit of the digital giants． Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce when they feed, so Google farms us for the data that our digital liver yield． Ants keep enemy insects away from where their aphids（蚜虫） feed; Gmail keeps the spammers out of our inboxes． It doesn't feel like a human or democratic relationship, even if both sides benefit．（1）According to Paragraph1，Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its________．A.digital productser informationC.physical assetsD.quality service．（2）Linking phone numbers to Facebook identities may________．A.worsen political disputesB.mess up customer recordsC.pose a risk to Facebook usersD.mislead the European commission．（3）Competition law as presently interpreted can hardly protect Facebook users because________．A.they are no defined as customersB.they are not financially reliableC.these services are generally digitalD.the services are paid for by advertisers．（4）The ants analogy is used to illustrate________．A.a win﹣win business model between digital giantsB.a typical competition pattern among digital giantsC.the benefits provided for digital giants' customersD.the relationship between digital giants and their users．Shelly hugged her husband．"Be careful, Billy．""Come on, Shell!" Bill rolled his eyes． "You worry too much, Honey． Me and the boys will be OK． It's just a three ﹣ day trip． We'll catch enough halibut to be able to fix up the baby's room the way you want it．" '"Billy, I love you and worry every time you go to sea, especially in winter．""Shell, I promise I'll be careful． I may be the youngest captain in this port, but I'm the most careful． I learned at the helm of Daddy's boat, which I was practically raised on．" They hugged again． Bill planted a tender kiss on her cheek, rested his open palm on her slightly swollen stomach, "Besides, I need to be here． Little Billy will need his daddy．" Shelly slapped him on the shoulder． "It's Billy Jean and you know it．"Bill laughed, "Not on my watch, Girl． I gave you a boy to take over as captain．"Their laughter broke the tension． "I have to go, Shell． See you in a few days? " He turned to leave and then turned back, reached into the pocket of his heavy coat and pulled out an envelope．"I almost forgot． Here's my letter? "Shelly took the crisp envelope and slipped into the pocket of her dress． "Thanks, Billy．" It had been their custom since they started dating． Billy gave her a note before he went to sea． She wasn't allowed to open it until the next day． He usually wrote of love or sometimes something silly ﹣ both made her smile． She wrote a reply and left it on the kitchen table for him． Reading her reply was the first thing he did when he came home． She watched as her husband walked the'length of the pier to where the forty﹣five foot "Shelly Girl" and his crew waited． He gave a final wave and climbed aboard．Shelly stood by their pickup truck and watched until the boat rounded the point and disappeared from view． "I love you, Billy．" she whispered． "Be safe．" ①That evening, five hundred miles to the south, a small winter depression moved north along the Atlantic coast of the USA．Experts found an unexpected change in the jet stream, which would make the small depression become a raging winter storm．②Shelly woke in the morning and listened to the weather report on the battered radio sitting on kitchen table． The phone rang．"Hello．""Shelly? ""Hi, Gail!" She recognized the voice of her friend, who was the wife of one of Billy's crew． "Have you heard the weather? ""Hang on a second． I just turned the radio on．" Shelly's face paled as she heard the weather person say a major winter depression had moved into the area． "Oh crap!""That's what I said too．""They'll be OK, Gail． They're experienced fishermen．" Shelly said to Gail It was a attempt to convince herself that her man would be safe．③Off the south shore of Nova Scotia, Bill struggled to control the Shelly Girl in the growing waves． Wind and water attacked Bill and his crew from all directions． The forty﹣ andfifty﹣foot walls of water were too much of a challenge for the young captain．The force of the water flipped the boat over, tore the wheelhouse off and tossed Bill and his crew into the icy Atlantic．The water, only a few degrees above the freezing point, soon overcame Bill's will to live． "Shelly!He took a last painful breath of salt water and slipped below the surface．④The crisp envelope bent beneath her fingers as she laid it on her lap and read． "Shelly, you are my life, my love and soon﹣to﹣be mother of our son一girl if that is what you really want． I'll always come home．"Shelly reached for the pen in her dress pocket． Tears dripped from her face and stained the paper she wrote on, "____________．"Her note sits on their kitchen table still ﹣ never read．（1）Why was Shelly worried too much when Billy go to sea this time？________A.Because she and their baby Billy Jean needed Billy's protection and care．B.Because she knew from the radio that a major winter depression would come．C.Because she had a feeling that Billy would never return home．D.Because she cared about Billy's safety in the sea， especially in winter．．（2）What can we learn from the passage？________A.Billy could read Shelly's reply letter only when he returned home from the sea．B.Billy and Shelly wrote letters to each other since they got married．C.Shelly read Billy's letter eagerly each time she got his letter．D.They exchanged their letters with each other every time Billy went out．．（3）Which word can be

company． I asked her what tips she would give to someone early in their career． Without hesitationshe jumped right into four keys to her professional climb：Know your business． Never get satisfaction with your industry or your position． In most cases， the knowledge you hold now is not good enough to stand the test of time． Thus，you must keep working to stay on top of what's new and what's coming down the pipeline． This is what really counts， especially early in a professional career， as many entry level associates are content to be gainfully employed．Pick careers with care． Again， early in your career it is easy to run after the job that offers the most money． In the case of a life﹣long career money cannot answer all things． If you are going to be an entrepreneur then you'll probably start with a budget of zero． Yet， if you have the discipline， working for yourself could be the best choice you've ever made．If you are going to work for a company you have to do your homework． If you find a company that consists with your values and produces a product that you 100% believe in，then you'll have an easy time giving that organization your all．Be personable． If everyone hates to be around you at the office， it's time to check your attitude． We've all heard at least one anecdote about a great thinker with great skills who drove coworkers crazy． Someway， somehow many of the brightest and best lack the "people skills" to advance beyond an entry﹣level position．In short， you must have the interpersonal insight to interact with internal and external contacts． If not， you may find that you are unimportant once someone with soft﹣skills joins the organization． Why？ People have to buy you before they ever buy the productyou're selling．Be willing to move． This is where I got puzzled． She shared how she lived in seven states still working for the same organization．Much is made of moving in today's attempts to climb the corporate ladder． As more and more companies extend to have a global reach， it is easy to understand why new opportunities birth in various locations．Whatever the path， outline in your heart what destination you hope to reach and this willbe a key indicator as to which journey will be greatest for you．Title： The Greatest Journey请阅读下面一篇短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章．Reading a paper book may be a forgotten luxury （奢侈） for many people thanks to today's busy lifestyles， but listening to a book， while shopping or jogging is a growing trend． Now， audio books can be easily downloaded from the Internet at the same， if not lower， prices as the print editions．Mary Beth Roche， publisher of Macmillan Audio， says many of their readers use audio books as a "multitasking tool"， a way to consume books when their eyes are busy． For others， whose work may involve spending lots of time looking at the screen， audio books are a way to relax． "It's sort of nice to sit back and have a story told to you，" said Roche．In the United States， audio books have long been a serious business， simply because Americans on average spend so much time in their cars． "It is a good way for consumers to make the time in traffic quality time，" said Roche． "Even way back when it was the cassette and then the CD， the number one place where people listened was in car． When audio books became available in the digital format， people started using them during other

2021年浙江省高考英语模拟试卷有答案
2021年浙江省高考英语模拟试卷（3月份）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分25.0分）第一节（共3小题；每小题2.5分，满分25.0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。
1. English learners should not think that mistakes are bad. Alex Poole, a professor of English at Western Kentucky University, advises that language learners should instead see errors as signs of progress. One common problem is that English learners think too much about errors instead of communication. "The goal is to be able to communicate in practical terms. If you have an error, the only time you should worry about it is when it leads to misunderstanding, " Poole said.Poole said when speaking with a native English speaker, you can look for signs of confusion to detect errors. For example, when a person gives an unusual response to something you said, you can then ask them directly what the problem is. It also works if you ask a native speaker about the kinds of things that you say that could cause communication problems if you know him well.When it comes to writing, Poole recommends thinking about errors in a different way. He suggests keeping a list of common errors. When English learners write something, instead of grammars, they should think about the big picture of what they are writing about. Then he advises thinking about how to put those ideas in order. After finishing it, you can go back and use your list to look for errors."My philosophy as a language learner has always been…I'm going to monitor my errors, but I'm never going to be perfect, so that shouldn't bother me. But I should look for things which cause communication problems, and I just have to live with that."You can read more about errors in Poole's new book Learning a Foreign Language﹣Understanding the Fundamentals of Linguistics. In the book, he also writes about study plans, progress and other issues in language learning.（1）English learners should worry about errors when________.A. they misuse practical termsB. they don't know native speakersC. mistakes become signs of slow progressD. errors cause communication breakdown．（2）What should English learners consider first in writing according to Poole？________A. Grammars.B. Main ideas.C. Details.D. Word choice.．（3）What's the author's purpose in writing the text？________A. To introduce a book.B. To explain basic rules.C. To offer practical advice.D. To recommend a professor.．2. Every summer, three billion birds migrate （迁徙）from southern Africa to Europe. In winter, they return to Africa's warmer shores. Both large and small birds travel thousands of kilometers, often stopping at locations along the way to rest. The migration is long and difficult, and some of the animals die during each trip. However, it is not this twice﹣a﹣year journey that poses the greatest risk to these animals. The main threat to the birds' survival comes from people. All over Mediterranean, millions of birds are killed for food, profit, and sport every year. Consequently, bird populations are dropping all over the region.Countries over the Mediterranean are aware of this, and are taking action. In many European countries, hunting migratory birds is strictly banned. Across the Mediterranean, Nature Conservation Egypt is working to increase protection of its country's wildlife, including migratory birds. As part of a current project, the group is trying to promote activities such as eco﹣tourism along the coasts. The hope is that, as more tourists come to visit protected natural areas, there will be an ________ for local people to care for the birds and their habitats.Wildlife organizations around the Mediterranean are helping to bring about change. "Hunting bans are working, " says Martin Jacoby, a bird expert. But there is still more to do. Environmentalists hope to stop hunting and restore bird habitats all over the Mediterranean. If this can be done, the birds' number will increase. "There is a long way to go, " Jacoby says, "but just like after a long journey in the desert, there will be an oasis（绿洲）."（1）What's the biggest danger to migrating birds？________A. Long distance.B. Human hunters.C. Severe weather.D. Lack of food.．（2）What does the underlined word "incentive" mean in Paragraph 2？________A. Opportunity.B. Bargain.C. Drive.D. Condition.．（3）What's Jacoby's attitude towards the efforts made by wildlife organizations？________A. Approving.B. Reserved.C. Ambiguous.D. Critical.．（4）How is the text mainly developed？________A. By giving examples.B. By presenting problem and solution.C. By making comparison.D. By analyzing cause and effect.．3. Gift givers often make serious mistakes in gift selection during the holidayseason, according to a research article in Current Directions in Psychological Science.The research, led by Jeff Galak, a professor from Carnegie Mellon University Tepper School of Business, suggests that gift givers tend to focus on the moment of exchange when selecting a gift, while gift receivers are more focused on the long﹣term value of the gift."What we found was that the giver wants to 'wow（使喝彩）' the receiver and give a gift that can be enjoyed immediately, in the moment, while the receiver is more interested in a gift that provides value over time, " explained Galak. "Put another way, there may be times when the vacuum cleaner（吸尘器）, a gift that is unlikely to wow most receivers when they open it on Christmas day, really ought to be at the top of the shopping list as it will be well used and liked for a long time. "The researchers found that this different focus on the gifts showed up in a number of different ways. For instance, some gift giving mistakes included giving unrequested gifts in an effort to surprise the receiver, when they are likely hoping for a gift from a planned list.The researchers make recommendations for those hoping to choose better gifts, advising them to better put their feet in gift receivers' shoes when thinking about gifts that would be both appreciated and useful."We exchange gifts with the people we care about, in part, in an effort to make them happy and strengthen our relationships with them, " Galak added. "By considering how valuable gifts might be over time for receivers, rather than how much of a smile it might put on receivers' faces when they are opened, we can meet these goals and provide useful, well ﹣received gifts. "（1）What do the gift givers usually focus on when choosing gifts？________A. Receivers' long﹣term needs.B. Receivers' inner thoughts.C. Receivers' immediate reactions.D. Receivers' lifetime hobbies.．（2）Why does the author mention the vacuum cleaner in Paragraph 3？________A. To give advice on how to choose a gift.B. To show the influence of the wrong gifts.C. To stress the popularity of the vacuum cleaner.D. To show the importance of a gift's long﹣term value.．（3）What can be a suitable title for the text？________A. What a Good Gift Reveals about Personality？B. A Good Gift Well Worth "Wows" and SmilesC. How to Evaluate Value When Choosing a Gift？D. Want to Give a Good Gift？ Consider Practical Value．第二节（共1小题；每小题10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。

AWho says inventions are only made by grown-ups and professionals? Over the years, children have also succeeded in making their useful contributions to the world. Here area few inventions that came to life from the minds of young children.Hero HelmetSeven-year-old Samuel Meyer's invention is aimed at stopping people from riding their bikes or skateboards without using a helmet. The Hero Helmet features an inbuilt remote that controls a lock on the wheels which unlocks when the Helmet is being worn by the rider. Samuel says: no helmet, no bike.Robotic EarthwormThe first thought that comes to mind is,why a robotic earthworm? Well,ten-year-old David Cohen had some useful applications in mind. He believed it could be used to find victims after a flood, earthquake or fire.The robot could get into small and dangerous placeswhere search dogs and humans could not go.B.g.A.C.O.N.Fifteen-year-old HannahHerbst's invention, which standsfor Bringing Electricity Access to Countries through Ocean Energy,was inspired by her pen pal wholives in Ethiopia and did not have access to lights.So she came up with B.E.A.C.O.N,which absorbs energy directly from ocean waves.

Caitlin Gooch，the founder of Saddle Up and Read（SUAR），literally saddles（跨上马鞍）up ontoone of her family's horses and visits primary schools,libraries and youth groups to encouragestudents to read. The nonprofit in Wendell，North Carolina，also organizes book drives andschool-wide reading competitions.Along-with her.five brothers and sisters,Gooch grew.up on a family farm owned by herfather. Although he worked as a used car salesman，he built a race track on their 87-acrefarm,where he hosted races. Gooch said she grew up around 80 horses and felt blessed tohave grown up with them.In 2017,Gooch，who had been working at daycare centers and youth groups，noticedthat some of the younger children struggled to read. She decided to work with a local library:Any student who checked out more than three books would be entered into a prize draw. Fivenames would be selected out of the.draw and each received a trip to visit the horses on theGooch family farm.It was a hit. Gooch expanded her services by creating her nonprofit，SUAR. WhenGooch shared her organization's story on Twitter,it reached over 70,000 likes in a week, Sheeven got a shout out from Oprah Winfrey，a famous talk show hostess. She's raised over$ 20,000 from supporters across the world.“Now that it's sort of,all eyes on me，there'sdefinitely an opportunity to do something more,”Gooch said.Gooch isn't just encouraging children to read more.She's also showing them thathorseback riders can look like her.Online，she's often referred to as the“Black Cowgirl”.“It feels amazing to be that kind of representation,”Gooch said.4.

PatientCNot so long ago therapy（治疗）was limited to an hour-long advising session on asofa；now you can access free advice on TikTok in under aminute.Perhaps this new trend is growing because it offers easy bite-size answers to big complex questions.The problem with TikTok,however,is that the videos have to be under 60 seconds, which are about serious mental health illnesses being reduced to brief sentences with quick fixes from sometimes unqualified non-professionals. And with the average age ofTikTokusers between 18 and 24,how helpful is TikTok therapy?“When I first started creating mental health content,I didn't expect anyone to listen,”explains Jane Smith,who runs a private practice in Hampshire.“But it turns out people are hungry for this sort of information.”Although there is a concern about the videos'increasing the risk of self-diagnosis（自诊），Jane thinks otherwise.She compares self-diagnosing a mental health problem to self-diagnosing a common cold,“If you want to find out about the symptoms of a cold, you can look it up online. That's not a risk because you can't do much with that information until you get to the doctor anyway.”Yet despite concerns,the comments on TikTok therapy videos are filled with praises.Rachel,23,says she finds them very relatable:“If yousee a video discussing anxiety,it can you help you acknowledge and discuss topics you might not feel sate to do in other places. It makes me feel less alone.”We've seen some great mental health content on Tik1ok. However,it s important to ask remember that not all the information you find online will be reliable and it can be useful toask yourself some questions including who is sharing it and why.8. Why is TikTok therapy getting popular?A. It sells at a low price.B.It aims at younger users.C. It provides brief solutions.D. It is offered by professionals.9.What does Janethink of TikTok videos?A.They may cause some potential risks.B.They are better than going to doctors.C. They are of much help to people in need.D. They show symptoms of disease in detail.10.What does the underlined word"them"in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?A. Concerns.B. Videos.C. CommentsD. Praises.11. What may the author agree?A. TikTok will replace hospitals in the future.B.It is quite easy to find reliable medical advice.C. Everyone can create his own TikTok videos.D. We should be careful about online information.DFace masks and protective suits can save lives. But what happens after people are done using them? Binish Desai,the founder of Eco-Eclectic Technologies from Western India,saw the impact brought by the rising use and demand for single-use masks and kits due to the coronations pandemic （冠状病毒流行病），so he created Brick 2.0 to prevent tons of single-use Personal Protective Equipment(PPE)from being waste and ending up in landfills or water streams.Although PPE is essential for medical use,it is extremely necessary to assess new alternativesand to raise awareness regarding its proper use and disposal（处理）.A study published by the American Chemical Society suggests that 129 billion face masks are used monthly during the coronations pandemic,which causes great environmental pollution.In India alone,over 18,000 British tons of coronations-related biomedical waste was generated in just four months between June and September. The waste would take hundreds of years break down,according to the magazine Waste Advantage.Brick 2.0 is a new version of the brick made from industrial waste,now also including used face masks and protective suits. The process starts with the collection of PPE waste through garbage cans placed in small shops and apartment buildings,with easy access for people to throw away their used items.Once in the factory,the collections are kept for 72 hours for safety reasons.Then they are cleaned and torn into pieces before being mixed with other waste.Finally,the material is shaped,and once dry,each brick is ready to use.It is three times stronger than conventional bricks at twice the size and half the price.In a complex circumstance like the one we are living in these days,this solution is not only relatively easy to operate,but also very achievable in the short term,which can really help overcome today's global environmental challenges.12.Why did Desai create Brick 2.0?A. To recycle the PPE waste.B. To reduce production cost.C. To protect water recourse.D. To prevent serious disease.13.What do the figures in Paragraph 2 indicate?A. The study lacks sufficient evidence.B. The pandemic is difficult to control.C. The demand for face masks is in decline.D. The environment is facing severe challenges.14.What is mainly discussed about Brick2.0in Paragraph3?A. Its function.B. Its advantage.C. Its main characteristic.D. Its production process.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Innovation never endsB. Environmental issues countC. Transform waste into treasureD. Defend your life with face masks第二节（共5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分12.5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。
