2020年天津市高考英语试卷（第二次）题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共20小题，共50.0分）AHow to Use a Modern Public LibraryHas it been a while since your last visit to a public library？If so，you may be surprised tolearn that libraries have changed for the better．Itˈs been years since they were dusty littlerooms with books．They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge，meet interesting people，or find out how to start a business．Check out a book．While libraries still loan out（出借）books，youˈll find it easier to get a copy of whatever youˈre looking for，thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries．Via such networks，libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles ．Once the book youˈve requested is delivered to the nearest branch，they will inform you by e﹣mail，so you can pick it up．Check out other items．The library is now a multimedia zone，loaded with information in many formats（载体形式）．You can borrow movies on DVDs，music on CDs，and popularmagazines．Some libraries even loan out toys and games．If a popular magazine you want isnˈtoffered and the library keeps a list of such requests，they may bring it in when enough interest is shown．Join targeted reading groups．Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted tovarious age groups．Perhaps youˈd like to learn a language or improve your English．Thelibrary may sponsor a language group you could join．If you have difficulties reading，ask about special reading opportunities．Your library might be able to accommodate you．And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book．Start a business using the help of your local library．If you want to have a business of your own，your local library can become a launch space for it．In library books and computers ，you can find information on starting a business．Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce（商会）and government agencies，and they will offer printing，faxing and database services you need．1.Public libraries connected by a cooperative network benefit readers by ．A. sharing their books on the InternetB. giving access to online reading at a library branchC. sending a needed book to a library branch nearbyD. making the checkout procedures diverse2.According to Paragraph 3，what items may be checked out from a public library？A.

To call for the modernization of public library systems．B"They tell me that youˈd like to make a statue（塑像）of me﹣is that correct，Miss Vinnie Ream？"The deep，gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl．Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter，especially for a seventeen-year-old girl．"Yes，sir，" she replied，her dark eyes meeting his．"I wouldnˈt have dared to ask you，but my teacher，Mr．Mills，says I am ready．I plan to make it in an admirable manner．"President Lincoln smiled．"Painters，sculptors—theyˈve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face，but Iˈm afraid thereˈs not much hope．What did you have in mind，Miss Ream ？A bust（半身像）？"Before Vinnie could say yes，the President hurried on，a shade of apology in his voice．"Of course—I shouldnˈt have asked．A full﹣length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size．"Vinnieˈs face turned red．She realized she looked like a child，with her tiny figure．"Small does not mean weak，sir，" she defended herself．"I was born in the country of Wisconsin．Iˈvedriven teams of horses and carried water．Making a full-length clay（粘土）figure would not exhaust my strength—and that is what I intend to do!"The Presidentˈs eyes，brightened at her show of spirit．"Sorry，madam，I have underestimated you as I didnˈt know your background．"But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers，in thought．"Miss Ream，" hesighed，"Iˈd like to let you do it，but as you know，we are in the middle of a war．How couldI possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now？I hardly have a minute to myself．"Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office．"I work quickly，" she said．Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows．"If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon，I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk．"The President seemed to consider her idea seriously．He got up and shook Vinnieˈs hand warmly，"Iˈve heard that you are a talented young woman，and I have found you charmingand intelligent as well．I cannot make my decision immediately，but you will hear from me soon．"The very next day，Vinnie received an invitation from the President．6.What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln？A. Her aggressive personality．B. Mr．Millsˈs encouraging remark．C. President Lincolnˈs gentle voice．D. Her interest in a challenging job．7.How did President Lincoln first respond to Vinnieˈs request？A.

A strong-willed soul can reach his goal．B. Experience helps to promote excellence．C. Ups and downs make one strong．D. Devotion requires enthusiasm．CFor people，who are interested in sound，the field of sound technology is definitely making noise．In the past，sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios，but manyof todayˈs sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionalsin other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound．Sound can be used as a weapon．Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief．The thieftries to escape．And the officer canˈt let him get away．He pulls out a special device，pointsit at the suspect，and switches it on．The thief drops to the ground．This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device（LRAD，远程定向声波发射器）．It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person．The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person，but it is not deadly．For those who hunger for some peace and quiet，sound can now create silence．Letˈs sayyou are at the airport，and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming（哼唱）a short commercial song．He hums it over and over again，and you are about to go crazy．Thanks to the Silence Machine，a British invention，you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents．One may wonder how the Silence Machine works．Well，it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves．The two sets of waves cancel each other out．Simply turn the machine on point it at the target，and your peace and quiet comes back．Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights（聚光灯）are used in the theater．A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage；similarly，a "spotsound" creates a circle of sound in one targeted area．This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers．Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu，allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining．Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes．11.What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD？A. It causes temporary hearing loss．B. It slows down a running man．C. It makes it easy to identify a suspect．D. It keeps the suspect from hurting others．12.The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to____．A. silence the people around youB. remove the sound of commercialsC. block the incoming sound wavesD. stop unwanted sound from affecting you13.What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share？A. They travel in circles．B. They clear the atmosphere．C. They can be transformed into energy．D. They can be directed onto a specific area．14.Directed sound can be used for____．A. creative designs of restaurant menusB. ideal sound effects on the theater stageC. different choices of music for businessesD. strict control over any suspicious customer15.What does the passage focus on?A. How professionals invented sound products．B. Inventions in the field of sound technology．C. The growing interest in the study of sound．D. How sound engineers work in their studios．DAfter years of observing human nature，I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance，curiosity and discontent．I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either．And I have never known an average man who had both．The two belong together．Together，these deep human urges（驱策力）count for much more than ambition．Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground．Like Galileo，all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent，"Why？Why？Why？"Fortunately，curiosity and discontent donˈt have to be learned．We are born with them and need only recapture them．"The great man，" said Mencius（孟子），"is he who does not lose his childˈs heart．" Yetmost of us do lose it．We stop asking questions．We stop challenging custom．We just follow the crowd．And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average．It encourages us to occupy our own little corner，to avoid foolish leaps into the dark，to be satisfied．Most of us meet new people，and new ideas，with hesitation．But once having met and liked them，we think how terrible it would have been，had we missed the chance．We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake．How should you start？Modestly，so as not to become discouraged．I think of one friend who couldnˈt arrange flowers to satisfy herself．She was curious about how the experts did it．How she is one of the experts，writing books on flower arrangement．One way to begin is to answer your own excuses．You havenˈt any special ability？Most people donˈt；there are only a few geniuses．You havenˈt any time？Thatˈs good，because itˈsalways the people with no time who get things done．Harriet Stowe，mother of six，wrote parts of Uncle Tomˈs Cabin while cooking．Youˈre too old？Remember that Thomas Costainwas 57 when he published his first novel，and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78．However you start，remember there is no better time to start than right now，for youˈll neverbe more alive than you are at this moment．16.In writing Paragraph 1，the author aims to____．A. propose a definitionB. make a comparisonC. reach a conclusionD. present an argument17.What does the example of Galileo tell us？A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth．B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious．C. Creativity results from challenging authority．D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore．18.What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent？A. Observe the unknown around you．B. Develop a questioning mind．C. Lead a life of adventure．D. Follow the fashion．19.What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7？A. Gaining success helps you become an expert．B. The genius tends to get things done creatively．C. Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action．D. You should remain modest when approaching perfection．20.What could be the best title for the passage？A. Curious Minds Never Feel ContentedB. Reflections on Human NatureC. The Keys to AchievementD. Never Too Late to Learn二、单选题（本大题共15小题，共15.0分）21.Jim says we ______ stay in his house as long as we leave it clean and tidy．A. mustB. canC. needD. should22.—You are a great swimmer．—Thanks．Itˈs because I ______ a lot these days．A. have been practisingB. was practisingC. would practiseD. had practised23.—Next time you visit Bob，remember to give him a call in advance．—______．I will．A.

I was born two weeks late. When I finally entered the world I weighed 11 pounds 10 ounces and was 24 inches long. When my mom told my grandmother my measurements, she asked in amazement, "Are you okay?!"I was healthy, but very shy as a child and into my teens. I'm from a small town, and I grew up and graduated with the same 50 people. I started playing basketball in third grade every Saturday, but I didn't have any control over my awkward body. (I didn't even score a point in a game until many years later.) I was 5-foot-10 in fourth grade. I had a small group of friends in elementary school, but sometimes the boys picked on me, calling me a bean pole or the Jolly Green Giant. I still remember my embarrassment when they laughed at me, and how badly I wanted to be invisible.In high school I got more involved in sports, but I spent most days in the art room. By this time everyone at my school was used to my height (by ninth grade I was 6-foot-3), but if I went out of town people would stare at me and comment about my appearance.I was forced into the spotlight wherever I went.With high school came more confidence. I had success in school, the arts and sports. I played basketball, but my true passion was track and field. During my senior year I was the conference champion in high jump and the 400-meter run. The friendships I gained through my involvement in high school boosted my confidence and helped me develop a sense of humor. Now when a stranger told me I was tall I would smile and nod or, if I was feeling determined, I would pretend to feel shocked and thank them for telling me. I had no idea!Still, society keeps me aware of my status as something rare. And even though people tell me I'm beautiful and I should be a model, there are times when I would trade in my long legs for a small frame and tiny feet. I often wish people weren't so rude. I'm a minority only in the sense of height. I like to think that those who have insulted me didn't intend to. I do believe that most people are basically good, but they can be insensitive.4. What can be inferred from Para.1?A. The writer's height has something to do with her late birth.B. Grandmother was unwilling to have the writer as her grandchild.C. The writer failed to have a successful life because of her unusual height.D. The writer was heavier and bigger compared with other babies when she was born.5. By saying 'I was forced into the spotlight', the author probably means that she ________.A.was criticized by othersB. caught public attentionC. was threatenedD. felt inferior6. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned as the writer's experiences in high school?A. She quit playing basketball and joined the track and field team.B.

What is the second paragraph mainly about？A. The introduction to William Chen．B. The process of producing soy milk．C. The way to make soy﹣based wrap．D. The benefit of eating soy products．9. What's the biggest difference of Chen's wrap from other cellulose﹣based plastic wraps？A. It saves land for industry．B. It's more easilybroken down．C. It is made from the food waste．D. It has been put into practice for many years．10. What will commercial production of the food wrap cause？A. A lack of competitiveness．B. Poor quality of the wraps．C. A shortage of raw material．D. An increase in production costs．11. From which is the text probably taken？A. A personal diary．B. A travel guide．C. A book review．D. A scientific magazine．DI was at my parent’s dinner table. Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolor1 ed pages. It was my grandfather’s journal and now belonged to my father. My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life’s journey.I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I wascaptivatedby the power of the written words. In the magical script (笔迹) before me, I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others, and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace (拥抱) each other’s struggles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer’s mind and understand the world they lived in.That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment, and hungry for information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to our collective wisdom, most of these writings reflectthe superficiality (肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important. Writing humbles (使谦卑) us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life. Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflect deep thought on issues of human importance.12. The underlined word “captivated” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “________”.A. puzzledB. frightenedC. attractedD. defeated13. In the author’s grandfather’s age, people ________.A. lived a hard lifeB. cared about each otherC. were fond of writingD. treated food as an art14. The author begins the text with her grandfather’s journal in order to ________.A. show her respect to her grandfatherB. present the importance of good writingC. express her interest in reading as well as writingD. raise the problems with today’s writing15. In the last paragraph, the author is trying to _________.A. discuss what good writing is likeB. express her strong desire to learn writing skillsC. stress the effects of her grandfather’s journal on herD. show her admiration for her grandfather’s writing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。

滚动题组25 阅读理解+阅读表达+书面表达(时间:60分钟总分:80分分数:)滚动题组第36页Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·江苏卷)The 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer’s(阿尔兹海默症).He was losing his memory.A software engineer by profession,Steve was a keen lover of the piano,and the only musician in his family.Music was his true passion,though he had never performed outside the family.Melissa,his daughter,felt it more than worthwhile to save his music,to which she fell asleep each night when she was young.She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father.Naomi,Melissa’s best friend and a talented pianist,got to know about this and showed willingness to help.“Why do this?”Steve wondered.“Because she cares,”Melissa said.Steve nodded,tears in eyes.Naomi drove to the Goodwin home.She told Steve she’d love to hear him play.Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench,hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys.Naomi put a small recorder near the piano.Starts and stops and mistakes.Long pauses,heart sinking.But Steve pressed on,playing for the first time in his life for a stranger.“It was beautiful,”Naomi said after listening to the recording.“The music was worth saving.”Her responsibility,her privilege,would be to rescue it.The music was still in Steve Goodwin.It was hidden in rooms with doors about to be locked.Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together.He’d move his fingers clumsily on the p iano,and then she’d take his place.He struggled to explain what he heard in his head.He stood by the piano,eyes closed,listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else.Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code lines,beats,intervals,moving from the root to end a song in a new key.Steve heard it.All of it.He just couldn’t play it.Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve.It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song.One day,Naomi received an email.Attached was arecor ding,a recording of loss and love,of the fight.Steve called it “Melancholy Flower.”Naomi heard multiple stops and starts,Steve struggling,searching while his wife Joni called him “honey”and encouraged him.The task was so hard,and Steve,angry and upset,said he was quitting.Joni praised him,telling her husband this could be his signature piece.Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite,and most personal,songs.With Naomi’s help,the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playin g Steve’s songs.Joni thought that would be the end.But it wasn’t.In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert,Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind:“Melancholy Flower.”She told the director about her project with Steve.The director agreed to add it to the playing list.But Naomi would have to ask Steve’s permission.He considered it an honor.After the concert,Naomi told the family that Steve’s music was beautiful and professional.It needed to be shared in public.The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert.By the day of the show,more than 300 people had said they would attend.By then,Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends.He knew the path his life was now taking.He told his family he was at peace.Steve arrived and sat in the front row,surrounded by his family.The house lights faded.Naomi took the stage.Her fingers.His heart.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。
