A native of Florida, U.S., Hannah Herbst, 17, uses water power to deal with energy poverty. Herbst has risen to fame with the development of BEACON, an ocean energy probe（探测仪）that seeks to offer a stable power source to developing countries by using untapped energy from ocean currents.She tells then vague, "I was really involved in theater and athletics and I'm still really into those things. When I was in seventh grade, I was put into a summer camp. The minute I got there I realized that I was the only girl in the program. I wanted to quit at that moment. But my dad told me, 'Just try it.' I tried it for that day and it changed my life.""At the camp, we started building the robots, which is something I had never done before but many of the boys had, and I realized it was a platform for problem-solving. We were solving simple tasks like how to push a robot off a platform. Learning from my partners as well as online articles about how to program and build was really interesting to me, " said Herbst.Later that year, she received a letter from her pen pal, rush, who lives in Ethiopia, and learned that she was living in energy poverty with minimal access to electricity and medical supplies. "I knew that I wanted to do something to help, so I created BEACON, " she said.The device is made from 90% recycled materials easily found throughout the world, including 2-liter bottles and recycled spoons. It costs $ 12 to make and can produce enough electricity to power an LED light. Hannah imagined BEACON being used in developing countries to power pumps for fresh water and she is working on polishing it to get it available to people all over the world.(1) What advice does Herb st most likely give to tens by her camp experience?A. Giving something a go.B. Developing various interests.C. Quitting to gain more.D. voiding unfavorable conditions.(2) Which words can best describe Hannah Herbst?A. Energetic and kind.B.

That is a claim made by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk, Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.Using an electronic device to answer e-mails, listen to the news and surf the Internet puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains, is important for critical（有判断力的）thinking, problem-solving and decision-making.So, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in nature, Strayer claims, helps get a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15, 000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September. That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore, swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.Take cars for example. He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping. He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate comers is another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband and two children. She calls it a "reborn" experience.At the University of Utah, David Strayer has studied both short-term and long-term exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However, he found, it is the long-term contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three days in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.(1) What is David Strayer's opinion?A. Americans dislike outdoor activities.B. Electronic equipment should be quitted.C. New technologies are a double-edged sword.D. Electronic equipment brings great convenience.(2) Why does Strayer insist we go outdoors?A. To try another lifestyle.B. To refresh our brain.C. To make better decisions.D. To play with our family and friends.(3) Which is the proper title for the passage?A. Electronic Equipment Harms the BrainB. Good Rest Develops Good MemoryC. Tips on Using New TechnologiesD. Being in Nature Is Good for the Brain3、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟C篇第27~30题10分State of Michigan employees are increasingly positive about the workplace, according to the 2018 Employee Survey, which shows state workers are more likely to be engaged（参与）at work than other employees, with almost 70% reporting they would recommend stare work to friends and family."If you've got highly engaged employees, you're going to have people that want to provide a higher level of service for the citizens of Michigan; a happy workforce is good for the state, " Jim Willems, State Administrative Manager, said.

Students swing their backpack over their shoulder, board the school bus, make their way to their home room and the bell rings—school is back. But for more homes in America, school looks more like students waking up, making their way to the dining room or home office, setting up laptops and learning in the comfort of home.Virtual（虚拟的）schooling, described as " a public school that offers only instruction in which students and teachers are separated by time and/or place, and interaction occurs via computers and/ or telecommunications（电信）technologies" , has increased over the past decade. According to the National Education Policy Center, enrollments（注册人数）in virtual schools increased by 17, 000 between the 2015—2016 school year and the 2016—2017 school year to 295 , 518.For Arizona Virtual Academy, a full-time online public K-12 school, they use K12 Inc. curriculums. K12 Inc. serves students in all 50 states and more than 100 countries with digital learning platforms and technology, providing online education. " We always are improving our platforms and the technology that we use to make sure that we're keeping up with the changing trends, not only with education but also with technology, " Dr. Kelly Van Sande said. Another piece of new technology they're rolled out is a new app where parents can find virtual schools available in their area.Carrie Faulkner chose to enroll two of her children in Arizona Virtual Academy. She says they're done schooling online in Chicago, in California, at restaurants and on her cousin's floor in Kansas.

These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion（万亿）connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images（图像）of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern"A-B-B". Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern "A-B-C" . The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the "A-B-B" pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. "TAL#NBSP Position is key to language, " she says. "If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: 'John caught the bear.' is very different from 'The bear caught John.'"Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones—no matter how educational—doesn't appear to be enough for children's brain development. They conducted a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who'd watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies—regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio—learned nothing.(1) What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?A. Babies identify different sound patterns.B. Word order is relevant to meaning.C. Babies can well understand different words.D. A certain brain region processes language.(2) What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A. Grammar is important in learning languages.B. Different orders have different meanings.C. Different languages have different grammar.D. Words have different sounds.(3) What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kunl?A. Babies shouldn't watch a lot of television.B. Foreign languages help babies' brain develop.C. Listening to different languages develops babies' brain.D. Social communication improved babies' brain development.二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）4、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟第31~35题10分(每题2分)I did not go on my first hike until my mid-30s. I could blame it on the fact that I grew up on the Great Plains of South Dakota and North Dakota.1Having never gone, I didn't see the value and always shook my head when asked.2At the urging of my wife, and with my two young kids, we walked a beautiful forest path on a cool August morning. I carried a small backpack with water and snacks（小吃）. When we reached the top, we ate lunch together overlooking a perfectly still pond and a scenic Vermont.A few weeks ago, my 11-year-old son, my 61-year-old dad, and I hiked Camelback Mountain in Phoenix. Last weekend, I hiked down the Grand Canyon with my son along the South Kaibab Trail. And later this week, my wife and daughter will join us to walk the Waterfall Trail in the White Tank Mountains.3Now, just to be clear, by no means would I classify myself as an experthiker.4And I have no plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or walk the Appalachian Trail. But waking early on a Saturday morning to walk 3-5 miles along a forest path with lunch in the backpack is a journey I'd recommend to anyone.It is healthy physical exercise that create wonderful memories.5And given the chance, hiking teaches us important truths about life.A. Most of our bikes only last 2 hours.B. I've fallen in love with climbing mountains.C. I love the stillness and calm of an empty path.D. But mostly, to be honest, I just wasn't interested.E.

It has an extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.For the last few years, Norway has registered the highest quality of life among the world's nations. It is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Norwegians can also expect to get a good education, find the job they want unemployment is only 4 percent according to recent data updated in January, 2019—enjoy good health and live a long life. Its achievement today is completely unexpected for many people, especially senior citizens there. Just 80 years ago Norwegians were moving to the USA in their thousands in search of a better life. The rise in oil prices in the 1970s changed all that. On a per—cap it a （人均的）basis, Norway is the world's largest producer of oil outside of the Middle East.When you arrive in Oslo, the capital of Norway, for the first time, don't expect to be met by Dubai-style skyscrapers, and rows of Ferraris and porches. In 2018, Norway became one of the few countries where over 5 in every 100 passenger cars on the roads is a plug—in electric one. Norwegians also work hard and are always near the top in research on global worker productivity rats. But in today's high-teach world where work seems to follow us wherever we go, the people of Norway are re defining（重新定义）what wealth means . Laws just recently passed by the government attach great importance to family and time off.Also, the country is saving for the future. Every dollar earned from oil is put straight into its pensions—worth billions of dollars.

The terms holistay, daycation and nearcation are also sometimes used. But you can't ignore them. As a concept, it is quite attractive. Perhaps you're already had one, but weren't aware that's what it is called. Staycations don't just mean staying in doing things around the house or just relaxing at home. They are related to getting out more by taking day trips from your home to see local sights. If you don't want to stay at home, you can holiday locally—for example, camping at a local camp ground.Staycations originally became popular after the 2008 financial crisis, when people were looking for ways to reduce their spending. Apart from the savings, let's not ignore the other benefits: you don't have any of the problems associated with travel, such as packing, long drives, delays at airports and so on.Some staycationers who base themselves at home like to follow a set of rules, such as setting the start and end date, planning their activities ahead of time and avoiding routine. You don't have to do so, but it helps to create the feel of a traditional vacation. Others, who are aware that an extra barbecue or a visit to the local zoo may not match the thrill of foreign travel, take it a step further.A New Yorker, Karen Ash, decided not to go to Japan, as she had planned, but instead took a week-long Japanese vacation in her own city. This included buying postcards and souvenirs at a Japanese market, admiring bonsai plants, eating ramen, all without leaving New York. Her plan also included joining in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, attending a taiko drumming concert and watching Japanese soap operas on DVD. I don't think many people would want to take this much trouble to create their staycation, but you get the idea!(1) Which aspect of stay cat ions is mainly talked about in the first paragraph?A. Its real learning.B. Its another name.C. Its popularity.D. Its benefit.(2) Why did people begin to take stay cations?A. To promote local tourism.B. To keep pace with the times.C. To cut back on their expenses.D. To avoid trouble related to travel.(3) What's the author's attitude to staycationers' following some rules?A. Disapproving.B. Ambiguous.C. Cautious.D. Favorable.(4) What does Karen Ash's experience show?A. How to experience Japanese culture.B. How to prepare for a foreign journey.C. How to make the most of vacations.D. How to enjoy a foreign travel at home.3、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟（C篇）第28~30题7.5分(每题2.5分)Studying the da of 300 mice has flagged up genus（基因）which have been linked to hereditary（遗传的）sight loss for the first time. Researchers say because mice's genes are so similar to humans', their findings could lead to the treatment of more genetic diseases.Scientists at the University of California, David studied information from a data bank of mice's genetic material. They found 347 genes linked to eye problems, with just 86 of them having been studied in the past.Only around 50 to 75 percent of hereditary eye diseases in humans can be explained with present science. The researchers believe these hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining—and therefore being able to treat the other 25 to 50 percent."This is extremely valuable for people with hereditary eye disease, " said researcher Professor Ala Moshiri. "All researchers are going to start using these data. In the past, we knew the problem was there but we didn't know where to look. Now eye centers can call back patients and screen them for these new genes. We expect that more and more of these genetic diseases will be treatable." Also, the fact is that more than 60 percent of eye problems at birth are ones resulting from the baby's parents!Thanks to data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium（IMPC）, which is trying to work out what every single gene in a mouse is responsible for, with the aim of translating it to humans, scientists are moving closer to figuring out all genetic causes of blindness. To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time. This has so far been done more than 7, 000 times and has achieved great success. Researchers are now working alongside eye care centers in Texas and Iowa in order to compare the mice's genus to those of patients.(1) Why is the percentage of genetic eye problems mentioned in paragraph 3?A. To show the significance of studying mice's genes.B. To prove mice's genes are similar to humans'.C. To warn the high risk level of suffering them.D. To explain how common they are among people.(2) What should scientists do first to unlock secrets of genetic blindness?A. Compare humans' genes with mice's.B. Recognize each gene's role of humans.C. Set apart a gene of a mouse each time.D. Figure out each gene's function of a mouse.(3) What is a suitable title for the text?A. New Ways to Cure Sight Loss.B. Genes Found Behind Eye Problems.C.

By the end of the 19th century, most Indian tribes （部落） were moved to reservations. A lot of their children were taken away to boarding schools to learn to speak English. By the end of the 20th century, more than half of the Native Americans in the US were living in cities. They gave up speaking their old tribal language and only used English.

The study was conducted smoothly and effectively based on their working together between the Canterbury District Health Board （CDHB）, New Zealand, and the Heart Institute, which is run by the University of Otago, New Zealand.Co-lead author, Associate Professor John bickering of the University of Otago, says, "When a patient comes to an emergency department （ED） with symptoms that suggest a potential heart attack, present laboratory blood-testing procedures can take 1—2 hours to discover the risk level, but with this new test we can get a result in just fifteen minutes, from the bedside, or 'point-of-care', freeing up ED and health care staff. The patient can then either be cleared to leave, or quickly progressed to specialist care. The result proves to be true after later observation and other tests."Senior author, and Director of Emergency Medicine Research, Dr Martin Than of the CDHB says present point-of-care tests can lack the precision of this new method that is centred around a measurement of cardiac troponin（肌钙蛋白） in the blood, "Our results have extremely exciting potential for not only EDs, but also remote health care providers—such as those in the countryside. Given the great effect heartdisease and other related conditions have on not only New Zealand society but also the international community, we have something that could benefit tens of millions of patients globally, " Dr Than says.The analysis of this observational study, conducted from 2016 to 2017 at a hospital's emergency department, included about 350 patients with symptoms of a heart attack." So far our testing has shown that close to fifty percent of patients could have the heart attack safely and precisely excluded （排除……的可能性） soon after arrival at the ED.

Here' one I collected from a total stranger." Well, I was 11 when any family arrived at Fern Lake overlooking Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was so beautiful to look miles across the Rockies and thousands of feet below into the valley. My parents were busy getting lunch out of the trunk so I climbed over the wooden fence to get closer to the cliff edge in the hope that I would' miss any beautiful sight down there.I started down a little hill but soon started sliding on loose pebble rocks（鹅卵石）. I fell on my back, but kept going faster and faster to what seemed the edge of the world （a 2, 000-foot drop）. In seconds I knew I was going to die. My feet and legs went first over the edge at a high speed. Then suddenly I felt two hands push hard on my chest and stopped me dead. My heart was racing and I slowly inched my body back to where I finally could make it back up the hill.My father was waiting there and screaming at me for doing such a dangerous stunt（特技）. I triedto tell him and my mom about the hands that held me back, but to this day they don't believe me. They thought I was just trying to get out of trouble with a made-up story.

To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism （自恋）, the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to "work towards satisfying their own TAL#NBSP vanity". Those "likes" under their online selfies make them feel good.Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel "peer（同伴）pressure" to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it does not really happen. "Anyway, it shouldn't be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm, " Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. But men who post selfies show more of a need to be seen as popular than women who post selfies.Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phoned to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of "clicking like". On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos-even if they click "like".(1) What is the research mainly about?A. The ways of making people look better in selfies.B. The reasons for people posting selfies on social media.C. The differences between men and women in posting selfies.D. The connections between posting selfies and mental health.(2) What does the word "vanity" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. A deep desire to know about something.B. A special need to be more popular.C. Too much pride in one's own appearance.D. Strong determination to improve oneself.(3) What is Chock's attitude towards selfie posting?A. Ambiguous.B. Cautious.C. Disapproving.D. Supportive.(4) From the last paragraph, we know that the older generations showed their photos to friends and family.A. to win praise from viewersB. to show off their camerasC. to improve relationshipsD. to share good moments3、【来源】 2019年浙江杭州高三下学期高考模拟（C篇）第28~30题7.5分Sudoku（数独）puzzles give your brain a hard time; Every number from 1 to 9 must appear in each of the nine horizontal（横向的）rows, in each of the nine vertical columns and in each of the nine boxes.For many of us, this can be a reason for a headache, but in the very rare case of a German man, a Sudoku puzzle even caused seizures（痉挛）.In a new case study from the University of Munich, published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Berend Feddersen introduce a student who was 25 years old when he was buried by a snow slide during a ski tour. For 15 minutes, he didn't get enough oxygen, which severely damagedcertain parts of his brain. "He had to receive treatment on the scene. Luckily, he survived, " says Feddersen, the author of the study.Weeks after the accident, when the young man was ready for recovery treatment, something bizarre happened; When the patient solved Sudoku puzzle, he suddenly had seizures of his left arm—something the medical world hadn't seen before.Feddersen explains:" In order to solve a Sudoku, the patient used parts of his brain which are responsible for vision-space tasks.But exactly those brain parts had been damaged in the accident and then caused the seizures once they were used."This particular case is an example of what doctors call reflex epilepsy（反射性癫痫）, according to Dr. Jacqueline French, professor from NYU Langone School of Medicine."You have to have an injury to your brain first, and then seizures like that can happen, " she says.In the meantime, the patient from the case study stopped solving Sudoku puzzle forever and has been seizure-free for more than five years."

This will be the most important partof the process, because it will determine what career you will choose after college. This decision is not the end; you can definitely change majors once you're in college.2Next, it's time to decide if you want to stay close to your hometown or go away for college. Both options have their own pros and cons. These pros and cons can vary from money and how much financial aid the college will provide for you, job success after graduation, opportunities the college offers such as studying abroad or internships, to how many people attend the college.34Would you mind living in the area surrounding the campus? Does it have a good program for your major? Does the college have big or small classes? Which would you prefer? How is the college ranked? Does ranking matter to you? Is the campus big or small? Which would you prefer? Does the school feel like a good personal fit?Make sure to also do research on alumni（校友）, current students and professors who are present on the different campuses of the colleges you are inquiring about. It's always better to do great research than none at all and pick a college you know nothing about and regret your decision in the end. And if this happens, you'll end up transferring（转学）to another college, which you'll definitely do your research on to not have the same thing happen again.5Now that you have all this new found knowledge on how to choose a college, I hope you are ready to start the process! Good luck!A. No worries, I am here to help you through the process.B. There's no excuse for not visiting the colleges in your local area.C. Other things to consider when choosing a college are as follows.D. You can register for its online college fair at .E. These are all things to take into consideration when choosing a college.F. But note that changing majors can affect how long it will take you to graduate.G. So you might as well get all the research done now, and save yourself both time and money.三、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分）5、【来源】 2019年浙江杭州高三下学期高考模拟第36~55题30分Last week 26-year-old Zion took a seat and put his food on a table at a McDonald's.

And the interest in engineering and science has also risen.This is an important change for women in the UK.

浙江省2019届高三英语高考模拟卷(八)
浙江省2019届高三英语高考模拟卷（八）一、阅读理解(共3题；共10分)1．（3分）阅读理解“That one looks just like a sheep!And look over there.That one looks like a horse!”Do you remember lying on your back in a grassy field on a summer afternoon,discovering the soft shapes in the clouds in the sky?Those were the good old days when you could see anything and everything in the clouds.But now people look at the sky and see clouds in the shape of a motor company's advertising logo (商标),or a message inviting them to go out and buy a certain brand(品牌)of beer.These cloud pictures are not products of their imaginations.Instead,they are produced by a machine.These new floating advertisements are called Flogos;the name stands for“floating logos.”They're made from a mixture of soapy foam(泡沫)and a lighter-than-air gas such as helium,and they can be made into different sizes and shapes depending on the advertisement.Flogos can last up to an hour if weather conditions are good,and they can fly several kilometers high.Advertisers can rent a Flogo machine for$2,500a day.The set-up is normally performed within1to2 hours,and it will release four Flogos per minute.Advertisers can fill the air with any shape or message they want.Some people are worried that the Flogos might not be pollution-free.However,the Flogo's inventor insists that the soap he uses is natural,and that a Flogo just dissipates in the air,leaving nothing behind. Though it may be true that Flogos are environmentally friendly,some people believe that the natural clouds in our memory may be replaced by man-made ones.They are afraid that soon there will be nowhere left where their imaginations can float freely.（1）（1分）The author mentions the animal-like clouds to show that.A．clouds remind us of the good old daysB．clouds can become any interesting shapeC．weather conditions were much better in the pastD．people observed the sky more carefully in the old days（2）（1分）What does the underlined word“dissipates”in the last paragraph mean? A．Hides.B．Travels.C．Remains.D．Disappears.（3）（1分）We can infer from the end of the text that some people.A．believe what the Flogos'inventor saysB．prefer the new floating advertisements to othersC．fear that Flogos will leave nothing to their imaginationsD．hope that companies will advertise by using natural clouds2．（3分）阅读理解Reading may be fundamental,but how the brain gives meaning to letters on a page has been a mystery.Two new studies fill in some details on how the brains of efficient readers handle words.One of the studies,published in the April30Neuron,suggests that a visual-processing area of the brain recognizes common words as whole units.Another study,published online April27in PLOSONE,makes it known that the brain operates two fast parallel systems for reading,linking visual recognition of words to speech.Maximilian Riesenhuber,a neuroscientist at Georgetown University in Washington,D.C.,wanted to know whether the brain reads words letter by letter or recognizes words as whole objects.He and his colleagues showed sets of real words or nonsense(无意义的词语)words to volunteers undergoing FMRI scans.The words differed in only one letter,such as“farm”and“form”or“soat”and“poat”,or were completely different,such as“farm”and“coat”or“poat”and“hime”.The researchers were particularly interested in what happens in the visual word form area,or VWFA,an area on the left side of the brain just behind the ear that is involved in recognizing words.Riesenhuber and his colleagues found that neurons(神经元)in the VWFA respond strongly to changes in real words.Changing“farm”to“form”,for example,produced as great a change in activity as changing“farm”to“coat”,the team reports in Neuron.The area responded slowly to single-letter changes in made-up words.The data suggests that readers grasp real words as whole objects,rather than focusing on letters or letter combinations.And as a reader's exposure to a word increases,the brain comes to recognize the shape of the word.“Meaning is passed on after recognition in the brain”,Riesenhuber says.The researchers don't yet know how longer and less familiar words are recognized,or if the brain can be trained to recognize nonsense words as a unit.（1）（1分）Riesenhuber's research probably focuses on whether the brain. A．recognizes words as a unit or reads them letter by letterB．operates two fast parallel systems for readingC．takes longer to read less familiar words or notD．handles nonsense words as a unit（2）（1分）Riesenhuber and his colleagues carried out their research by.A．giving pairs of real words totally differentB．arranging the words in different orderC．showing pairs of different wordsD．making volunteers read some longer words（3）（1分）Riesenhuber's research is significant in that it shows how the brain. A．responds to familiar words B．relates meaning to letters C．recognizes the form of a word D．reacts to made-up words3．（4分）阅读理解Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)?When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.For example,someone might say,“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票).It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy's a winner,right?Maybe,maybe not.We then discover that he bought$200worth of tickets,and only one was a winner.He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose.That's called a half-truth.Half-truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick.Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her opponents(对手) says,“During Governor Smith's term,the state lost one million jobs!”That's true.However,an honest statement would have been,“During Governor Smith's term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say,“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often.It's a sad fact of life:Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well.（1）（1分）How much did the lottery winner lose?A．One hundred dollars.B．Two hundred dollars.C．Three hundred dollars.D．Four hundred dollars.（2）（1分）We may infer that the author believes people should.A．buy lottery ticketsB．make use of half-truthsC．be careful about what they are toldD．not trust the Yucky Company（3）（1分）What do the underlined words“net gain”in Paragraph5mean?A．Final increase.B．Big advantage.C．Large share.D．Total saving.（4）（1分）Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A．He's really a big loser!B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well.C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.D．It's against the law to make false statements.二、任务型阅读(共1题；共5分)4．（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。

I thought being a Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Volunteer might be a good way to do that by using some of the skills I learned at work,At one time, I felt I made a real difference when a lady came in to use the service. She was very upset, but she was not the person with cancer. It was her partner. She had lots of things on her mind. We, together with a counselor, had a chat about her to help deal with all the emotions（情感）she felt. We knew we could arrange something, so we discussed with her what could be done for her family. She was relieved that we could get something arranged for her and liked the fact that we managed to get the ball rolling during her visit.The good thing about having the services in the library is that the environment is non-clinical and therefore more relaxing than the hospital or doctor's surgery. The team in the library are not medically trained. That means we do not use big words or medical terms very often.It's great that the people who volunteer all work well together, helping each other to get a resolution （解决）for people who come in. It's good to have the team at the other end of the phone whenever we get something unusual. It is a pleasure to be able to help as a volunteer.(1) What can we infer about the author?A. He is a retired doctor.B. He is volunteering in a hospital.C. He is a counselor in cancer.D. He has fought against cancer before.(2) Why did the lady feel upset?A. Because she was affected by cancer.B. Because her husband suffered from cancer.C. Because she didn't know how to treat cancer.D. Because she had a poor relation with her husband.(3) Why does the author write this text?A. To call on readers to do voluntary work.B. To show us how to help those in trouble.C. To share his experiences as a volunteer.D. To teach us how to take care of cancer patients.2、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟（B篇）第24~26题7.5分(每题2.5分)I'm sitting in my kitchen in London, trying to figure out a text message from my brother. He lives in our home country of Germany. We speak German to each other, a language that's rich in strange words, but I've never heard this one before: fremdschamen.This experience gets me to consider: can we lose our mother tongue? Most immigrants know what it's like to be not as good at their mother tongue as before. The process seems obvious: the longer you are away, the more your language suffers. But it's not quite so straightforward. It turns out that how longyou've been away doesn't always matter. Socialising with other native speakers abroad can worsen your own native skills. And emotional factors like trauma（精神创伤）can be the biggest factor of all.In children, the phenomenon of language attrition（语言磨蚀）is somewhat easier la explain since their brains are generally more flexible and adaptable. Until the age of about 12, a person's language skills are relatively easy to change. Studies on international adoptees have found that even nine-year-olds can almost completely forget their first language when they are removed from their country of birth.But in adults, the first language is unlikely to disappear entirely except in extreme circumstanced. For example, linguist Monika Schmid analysed the German of elderly German-Jewish war time refuge's（难民）in the UK and the US. The main factor that influenced their language skills wasn't how long they had been abroad or how old they were when they left. It was how much trauma they had experienced as victims. Those who left Germany in the early days of Nazi occupation, before the worst violence, tended to speak better German—despite having been abroad the longest. Those who left later tended to speak German with difficulty or not at all."It seemed very clearly a result of this trauma, ""aye Schmid. Even though German was the language of childhood, home and family, it was also the language of painful memories. The most traumatised refuge's had held them back. As one of them said, "I feel that Germany betrayed me. America is my country, and English is my language. "(1) What do paragraphs 4 and 5 focus on?A. How two languages coexist.B. The way to deal with adults' trauma.C. The reason behind adults' language attrition.D. Whether trauma leads to adults' language attrition.(2) Why does trauma cause a person's mother tongue to disappear?A. Because his country betrays his trust.B. Because his communication ability is affected.C. Because he can't remember his mother tongue.D. Because he chooses to escape from bad experiences.(3) What is a suitable title for the text?A. Who will lose the native language?B. Can you lose your native language?C. How does trauma affect your first language?D. How far are you from your mother tongue?3、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟第27~30题10分(每题2.5分)Metal-organic frameworks（MOFs）are compounds that are set to solve some tough challenges: producing water in the desert, removing greenhouse gases from the air and storing dangerous gases more safely.The Arizona desert is really dry. Anyone stuck in it without water would die from dehydration within three days, unless he had one of Omar Yaghi's next-generation water harvesters, who is a chemist at the University of California, Berkeley. Although daytime humidity（湿度）is only about 10 percent, this rises to 40 percent at night, which means there's enough water in the atmosphere to support life—if it can be transformed into liquid form.That's exactly what Yaghi's invention does. It's about the size of a small microwave oven, designed to suck the water from the air at night and turn it into drinking water the next day using only the heat of the sun as its power source. What makes it work is a special material called a MOF, which at normal temperatures attracts water molecules（分子）onto the surface of its internal small holes. Warm it up and get the water, each harvest producing one-third of a cup of pure drinking water. "A device the size of a washing machine could produce enough water for the basic needs of a household." says Yaghi.These crystalline（结晶的）groups of metals linked by organic molecules can be made into materials with an extremely high absorption ability, attracting specific molecules to their surfaces. In this way, MOFs TAL#NBSP cling to a variety of liquids and gases.MOFs work thanks to their distinctive structure. In fact, one MOF the size of a sugar cube has so many small holes that they would cover an area as large as six football fields. MOFs are also extremely stable, light and have many different uses: their molecular structure can be varied to attract specific molecules. Adding a small amount of heat or pressure causes the MOF to give what it's holding. More than 70, 000 different MOFs have been produced to date for various applications.(1) Why is the Arizona desert mentioned in the second paragraph?A. To introduce water harvesters.B. To stress the importance of water.C. To express the urgent need for water there.D. To show the severity of its condition.(2) What plays a vital role in water harvesters?A. Solar energy.B. Water molecules.C. MOFs' internal small holes.D. Metal-organic frameworks.(3) Which can explain the phrase "cling to" underlined in paragraph 4?A. Give off.B. Break down.C. Hold onto.D. Turn into.(4) What will probably be covered in the following paragraphs?A. The future of the MOF technology.B. Other uses of the MOF technology.C. The improvement to the MOF technology.D. Possible limitations of the MOF technology.二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）4、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟第31~35题10分(每题2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。

A lot of distractions compete for children's time nowadays．B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities．C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time．D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing．52.What did the author say about her own writing experience？______A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more．B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers．C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer．D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations．53.Why did Rebecca want to enter this year's writing contest？______A. She had won a prize in the previous contest．B. She wanted to share her stories with readers．C. She was sure of winning with her mother's help．D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing．BSeveral months ago I decided it would be wise to investigate the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy，if for no other reason than because I understood it might be a good investment．I got the name of an insurance agent from a friend and called the agent to get some information．From the kinds of questions I put to him，the agent would tell that I knew nothing about insurance so he kindly offered to explore the matter with me in more detail．-to help me determine the kind of policy I ought to be considering．That evening he appeared at my door promptly at 7：30；without wasting time on amenities he spread his papers out on the kitchen table and launched into a lengthy explanation．I listened attentively as he talked about the difference between various types of policies，and he explained the kind of coverage he felt I ought to have because of my age bracket and financial objectives．Toward the end of the evening （after three or four hours of talking），he kindly helped me fill out an application for a 50，000 dollar policy，and then he asked if I could go to a Dr．Luther's office on Friday for a physical examination．I don't know why，but it was not until the mention of the doctor's appointment that I realized fully what was happening．I was about to sign a lifetime contract yet I had not really made a decision about whether I wanted to buy the policy or not．As a matter of fact，the question ofthe need for a decision from me one way or the other had not even come up．Suddenly I felt sure that I definitely did not want to buy the policy．However，since he had spent so much time with me，I didn't want to make him feel that he had wasted his time．So I invented an excuse about things I had to do on Friday，and I assured him I would call him in a few days．Actually，I had no intention of going to see Dr．Luther or of calling the agent again．I wanted to forget the whole thing．It's been over three months now since our meeting，and my friendly insurance agent still calls at my office faithfully two or three times a week．My secretary knows that I don't want to talk to him，so when he calls she tells him that I'm in a meeting or that I'm out of the office or that I'm away on a business trip．I realize now that it was a mistake not to tell him outright that I'm not interested，and please not to bother me any more，all I can do is to avoid his calls and hope I don't run into him someplace．54.The writer phoned the insurance agent because ______ ．A. He wanted to fill out an application for a life insurance policy．B. He had decided to buy a life insurance policy．C. He wanted to explore the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy．D. He took great interest in the insurance company．55.According to the passage，the agent was ______ ．A. an experienced salesmanB. kind but inexperiencedC. ineffectiveD. easy to deal with56.The writer didn't tell the agent the truth because ______ ．A. he was afraid of him．B. he felt embarrassed to do so．C. he thought it none of the agent's business．D. he didn't wish to lose the agents friendship．57.The writer realizes that ______ ．A. he should have told the truth to the agent earlier．B. he should buy the policy．C. the agent is a real friend．D. insurance is but swindle（骗局）CThe letter arrives from a school that your son told you is his dream school．You dare not open it，instead，you hand it to him when he arrives home from school．You watch as his eyes light up and you know this is the beginning of something．You are just not sure what．Your son insists that the coach must really want him since he took the time to write him a letter．Is this in fact true？Did he write other kids and if so how many？How would you know？The simple fact of the matter is that you can read very little into that first letter．Coaches cast a wide net in the first few stages of the recruiting（录取）cycle．That letter may in fact，be the first and last time your son ever hears from that particular coach．Think about it：if he has not seen your sons transcripts or his standardized test scores，if you have not visited the school，if he has no knowledge of your financial needs，can it be anything significant？So how do you treat these letters or emails？Is there some format you can apply？Say tor instance，three letters mean real interest…or three letters and a call means a greater degree of interest？My experience in deal with cases of various applications is that answers will not come automatically．Call the coach and find out how real the interest in fact is．"Is my son a top recruit in your mind？" "How many players at his position will you be recruiting this year？" By asking these simple and direct questions，you as a parent，will have established a dialogue and hopefully figured out how much interest，if any really exists．However，here comes the challenge．Applicants and parents are vague with coaches about their intention and level of interest all the time．In fact，the coach's situation is no less confusing than yours．He is fighting a similar battle on multiple choices．There is little clarity on either end．Enjoy that first letter．Let's hope it is one of many and let's hope you apply a bit of realism witha bit of wishful thinking about how happy your son should be when this is all over．58.How did the parent feel about the letter that his son got from his dreamed school？______A. expectantB. hesitantC. doubtfulD. hopeful59.According to the passage，by

quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships．One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances．Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties．Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily difficulties．People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties．Studies over a range of illnesses，from depression to heart disease，show that the presence of social support helps people protect themselves from illness，and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely．Social support cushions stress in a number of ways．First，friends，relatives，and co-workers may let us know that they value us．Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties．Second，other people often provide us with informational support．They help us to explain and understand our problems and find solutions to them．Third，we typically find social companionship supportive．Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting（转移……注意力）us from our worries andtroubles．Finally，other people may give us instrumental support-financial aid，material resources，and needed services-that reduces stress by helping us solve and deal with our problems．62.Research shows that people's physical and mental health has much to
