08-2020年高考英语仿真冲刺卷(含答案解析)
When I was a teenager girl, my parents, both immigrants, got divorced. We never had a discussion about how things would change. We didn’t tell anyone. Instead, we pretended as if nothing had happened. My father did not run away; he slept in a separate room. In the presence of s, we acted as a close family. I was puzzled why we insisted on creating the illusion(假象) that everything was O.K..
Its main characters tell lies that flow from their mouths smoothly. Billi, a Chinese-American artist in New York, and her grandmother in China, tell lies to each other on the phone. Billi, in cold wind, tells her grandma that she’s wearing a hat. She’s not. Her grandma says she’s visiting her sister, while she’s actually ill in hospital. They’re lying to avoid worrying each other, but in fact the grandma has lung cancer. The family know it but won’t tell her for fear that anxiety over the diagnosis (诊断) could kill her before the cancer.
I asked a professor of multicultural psychology. “Asians tend to have indirect communication,” he said, “In indirect communication, what’s not said is more important than what is said. Eastern philosophy emphasizes balance and harmony, and indirect communication minimizes conflict. So some Asian cultures value the ability to understand indirect messages.”
4.Why does Billi’s grandma tell lies to her according to Paragraph 2?
A.Because she’s afraid of the diagnosis.
B.Because she knows she has lung cancer.
C.Because she doesn’t want Billi to worry.
D.Because she has been used to telling lies.
5.What did the author’ parents do after they got divorced?
A.They left their home.B.They kept secret in public.
3. Which magazine is the text probably taken from?
A. Science. B. Travelling. C. Business review. D. Reader’s digest.
B
When I watched the film “The Farewell” recently, I found it not only reminded me of my own family’s great lie, but it also reopened old wounds.

If you want to learn why everything is usually cheaper, and what items are the best deals at your local or chain dollar or discount store, store employees have a lot of useful information. They tend to know what shoppers want — even before shoppers know themselves.Everyone buys unnecessary thingsWhether you shop at a chain dollar store such as Dollar Tree, Family Dollar or your local 99 cents store, not everything that’s on sale is necessarily worth purchasing. Bryan Waring, a former Dollar Tree employ ee, says that you’re not alone in buying more than necessary from these stores. “It seems basic, but everyone falls for this trap,” he says. “You go into a store where everything is cheap, and you walk out with things you don't need.” He suggests going into a store — yes, even the dollar store — with a checklist of things you truly need.Everything is cheaper after the holiday seasonPatricia, a seasonal worker at a Dollar Tree, says that the post-Christmas season means even more deals on everything from de corations to sweets. “After Christmas, all the gift wrap paper went to 50 cents, and all Christmas items were half price,” she says. “Even candy bars are 89 cents versus $ 1.”Products are less expensive because of their sizeIn order for dollar stores to keep their prices low, product sizes are usually smaller than normal, according to Cheapism. Dollar stores area t the only ones guilty of this trick. Cheapism also reports Walmart is guilty of doing the same thing to attract customers.1．What is Bryan’s ad vice against buying unnecessary things?A．Making a purchase alone.B．Writing a to-buy list ahead.C．Shopping at your local store.D．Buying basic things separately.2．Which of the following is a better time for shopping according to Patricia?A．In the Christmas sales.B．At a particular discount.C．After the Christmas season.D．During some holiday seasons.3．How do stores make their products cheaper?A．By reducing product sizes.B．By lowering product costs.C．By adopting discount strategies.D．By attracting more customers.【解析】这是一篇说明文。

A．Summer comes and we start thinking of ways to increase liquid intake. Water-rich fruits like watermelon become a basic part of your diet during summer. These fruits can certainly help to stop our thirst. Watermelons are not only nutritious but also help us beat the summer heat. However, can watermelons be shared with our pet dog? There is absolutely no harm in giving a watermelon to your pet. Watermelons are excellent sources of vitamins A and C as well as minerals. Moreover, they help to stop your pet’s thirst as they contain more than 70% water. Before sharing a watermelon with your dog, make sure that you do not feed beyond his ability to digest. The amount you feed will vary depending upon how big your dog is. For instance, if you have a small breed dog, giving a small slice is enough. However, an adult Golden Retriever certainly has the ability to consume more slices.Also, make sure that you remove the seeds before feeding watermelon slices to your dog. This is because dogs find the seeds very difficult to digest; hence their consumption is likely to cause stomach upset. Moreover, the seeds can actually be harmful to your dog as the seeds can be poisonous to your dog when eaten too much. Even taking a few may cause stomach upset in some dogs. So it is best to avoid feeding the seeds to your pet.As far as offering the skin of the watermelon is concerned, you should avoid it. While the rind(外皮) contains a great number of nutrients, if not chewed properly and swallowed, it can get stuck in the stomach and cause a serious digestive problem in dogs.On the whole , while watermelon is not bad for a dog’s health, feeding it in small portions withou t the skin and the seeds is necessary to keep digestive issues at bay.21. Which of the following isn’t the reason why watermelons can be shared with the pet?A. They are rich in vitamins.B. They contain superior minerals.C. They can provide enough water.D. They can strengthen the digestive system.【答案】：D22. What decides the amount of the watermelon you share with a pet?A. They type of a pet.B. The size of a pet.C. The ripeness of a watermelon.D. The taste of a watermelon.【答案】：B23. What is the best title of the passage?A. Is it OK to Feed Watermelon to Your Pet Dog?B. Why Does Your Pet Dog Like Eating Watermelon?C. Can Watermelon Seeds Be Given to Your Pet Dog?D. Do You Know Your Pet Dog Likes Eating Watermelon?【答案】：A47. A. thrill B. guide C. expect D. persuade【答案】：C48.

The family know it but won’t tell her for fear that anxiety over the diagnosis (诊断) could kill her before the cancer.When I was a teenager girl, my parents, both immigrants, got divorced. We never had a discussion about how things would change. We didn’t tell anyone. Instead, we pretended as if nothing had happened. My father did not run away; he slept in a separate room. In the presence of s, we acted as a close family. I was puzzled why we insisted on creating the illusion(假象) that everything was O.K..I asked a professor of multicultural psychology. “Asians tend to have indirect communication,” he said, “In indirect communication, what’s not said is more important than what is said. Eastern philosophy emphasizes balance and harmony, and indirect communication minimizes conflict. So some Asian cultures value the ability to understand indirect messages.”In the film, the family members show their love for grandma by keeping secret about her condition. Similarly, perhaps my parents intended to save face and preserve harmony. As an Asian-American, maybe all I’ll ever have is a secondhand understanding, and that’s the best I can do.4. Why does Billi’s grandma tell lies to her according to Paragraph 2?A. Because she’s afraid of the diagnosis.B. Because she knows she has lung cancer.C. Because she doesn’t want Billi to worry.D. Because she has been used to telling lies.5. What d id the author’s parents do after they got divorced?A. They left their home.B. They kept secret in public.C. They had a discussion.D. They asked s for help.6. How did the author feel about her parents’ behavior when she was a teenager?A. Confused.B. Skeptical.C. Unconcerned.D. Annoyed.7. According to the psychology professor what do Asian cultures attach importance to?A. Severe conflicts.B. Ability of showing love.C. Balance and harmony.D. Direct communication.CSleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person's wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worm devices, which track a person's physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement.While Gross's data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course's 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as ahigher-performing student. "When you go to bed matters," Gross says, "If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn't everything."Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students' grades. The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes.Who knew getting A's just required some extra ZZZ's?8. Based on his original objectives, which best describes Professor Gross's research findings?A Accidental. B. Complete. C. Convincing. D. Doubtful.9. Who were the people taking part in the study?A. Middle school chemistry students.B. V olunteers from different universities.C. Professor Gross's own students.D. University student athletes.10. How did Professor Gross's team measure academic performance?A. Making the students wear a special watch.B. Using students' university entrance test results.C. Giving the students regular after class quizzes.D. Using the students' normal test and quiz grades.11. Based on the study's findings, who is likely to perform best academically.A. A person who has a good night's sleep the night before an important test.B. A person whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C. A person who sleeps from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day.D. A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.DCan I talk about salary at work? In a word:yes.As HR company Insperity put it in a recent blog post:Can your employees discuss their salaries or wages with their co-workers? Yes.Even if you have a company policy against it? Yes.The freedom to discuss your salary at work is a protected right under federal labor law.TheNational Labor Relations Act of 1935 protects your right to discuss the conditions of your employment，including issues related to safety and pay，even when you're not protected by a union.Talking about salary with colleagues can be uncomfortable，since there's such a taboo about discussing money matters，but it's an important step towards achieving equal pay for equal work.One barrier，however，stems from how we think of our own financial worth.Too many people I talk to wrongly consider their salary a reflection of their worthiness，a statement about their skills，experience，or value.At the end of the day，if we can all separate our self-worth from our salaries a bit more，it'll become easier to talk frankly with our colleagues.Asking about money outright can be tough，so one trick I've picked up along the way is to ask for your colleagues to confirm or deny.For instance，you might volunteer your salary first and ask “Does that sound about right to you?”by way of comparison.Or，let's say you're interviewing for a promotion to become a manager.You might ask a fellow manager about the kind of salary you should expect by saying，“I'm seeing salaries for this kind of position ranging from $65，000 to$70，000—does that seem accurate to you?”This way，even if your colleague isn't comfortable sharing their salary outright，they can help you identify if your expectations are on point or way off.12. What makes co-workers uncomfortable to talk about salaries?A. The safety issue.B. The federal 1abor law.C. The wrong idea about salaries.D. The reflection of their worthiness.13. What does“taboo”underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. A prohibited practice.B. A religious belief.C. A general agreement.D. A social custom.14. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4？A. One of my interview experiences.B. My way of asking about money.C. The method of raising questions.D. An example of getting promoted.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. How to Discuss Salaries at WorkB. Ways of Talking about SalariesC. Do Salaries Stand for Self-worth?D. Can Salaries be Talked about at Work?第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

At the Snowdonia Centre, the beginners’ costs of ￡57 do not cover ___________.A. foodB. roomsC. body exercisesD. walking shoesBOne morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest (卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,“May I get you something?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked, “How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs. ”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter whoI think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.4. What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?A. Unfriendly.B. Untidy.C. Gentle.D. Kind.5. The author bought coffee for the old man because .A. he thought the old man was poorB. he wanted to start a conversationC. he intended to show his politenessD. he would like to thank the old man6. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?A. Proud.B. Pitiful.C. Surprised.D. Regretful.7. What message is mainly expressed in the story?A. We should learn to be generous.B. It is honorable to help those in need.C. People in high positions are not like what we expect.D. We should avoid judging people by their appearances.CRubbish is a major kind of environmental pollution. Each person produces about two kilograms of rubbish in our homes a day. And this is only a small part of all the rubbish we produce. We also create waste in industry.Have you wondered what happens to the rubbish? Most of it is buried in landfills (垃圾填埋地) or burned. Less than 25% of our waste is recycled.A landfill is carefully designed and it is built into or on top of the ground. Rubbish buried in landfills is cut off from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain, etc).One problem with landfills is that they cover a lot of land space. If they are not well-built, there is a high risk of polluting the land and water. Some people also say that landfills remove materials for ever. As a result, the materials that can be reused are wasted.Burning rubbish in factories is another way to cut out waste. Burning reduces 95% of the waste. And if poisonous materials are removed, and burning is completed at controlled temperatures, it is possible to do so without causing too much pollution. Some factories could even produce electricity from the burning process.Not all of the rubbish can be burned, so we have to separate it before we burn it. However, separation costs a lot of money. Another problem with burning rubbish is that what is left after burning is poisonous. How to safely deal with it is a continuing problem.Before the mid-20th century, landfills were the main way to deal with waste. In the late 20th century, other ways like recycling have been introduced to help reduce global pollution.Maybe in the near future, with combined efforts, scientists will find a better way to dispose rubbish and cut out waste, like recycling things. But anyway, mountains of rubbish from life every day is a huge burden for any country.8. What is the advantage of burying rubbish in landfills?A. Producing electricity.B. Reusing the materials buried in landfills.C. Reducing 95% of the waste.D. Cutting off rubbish from the surrounding environment.9. Paragraph 6 is mainly about _________.A. the separation of rubbishB. the problems with burning rubbishC. the safety of burning rubbishD. the cost of burning rubbish10. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. rubbish should be separated when it is burningB. landfills are too dangerous to be built too manyC. there’re advantages and disadvantages about burning rubbishD. developed countries are better at dealing with rubbish11. After the last paragraph, what is the author likely to talk about next?A. Pollution.B. Landfills.C. Recycling.D. Environment.DIt cannot be denied that we all want to succeed, whether it is in losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails? I have made a list of four habits to help set goals and achieve them.Identify your core valuesFinding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation. Sit and reflect on what you value most. Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.Pick a goal and focus on itChoose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.If you perform a great many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.Set a deadline for successTo set a date or deadline for success is meaningful and necessary. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time. By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real and planned.Stick to your goal.Failure can’t be avoided to some extent when you take risks, by its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember yourworks and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!In your lifetime, you have many opportunities to succeed. While in the process you may encounter (遭遇) plenty of failures, but on condition that you stick to the four habits above, you will be absolutely successful sooner or later.12. You would have a better chance to succeed if you _________.A. reflect on your goal moreB. are more concentrated on a goalC. are more eager to succeedD. try your best to avoid failure13. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. People are all eager to succeed in life.B. Realizing core values can make inner motivation.C. You are bound to succeed if you follow the four habits.D. Failure is sometimes not a bad thing.14. What does the underlined word “it” in the passage refer to?A. Detail.B. Failure.C. Goal.D. Success.15. The best title for the passage could be _________.A. Four Habits to Help You SucceedB. Make the Right DecisionC. Failure Is the Mother of SuccessD.
