2021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语模拟卷(五)附带答案及详细解析
2021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语模拟卷（五）一、阅读理解（共10小题：每小题2.5分，满分25分）（共3题；共25分）1.阅读理解I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza(狂欢)?Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book-it was Hemingway's The Sun Also rises-and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn't bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatiates(异乡客).I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role—as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student—in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway's language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect.（1）What did the author think is the source of true joy?A.Reading by the fire.B.Travelling in SpainC.Breaking the regulationsD.Being occupied by one's passion（2）Which can best replace the underlined phrase "braiding itself into" in the last paragraph?A.EnteringB.DestroyingC.MendingD.Blocking.（3）What can we infer from the passage?A.I was tired of my real-life roles.B.I learnt how to write on the Internet.C.Hemingway's style influenced me a lot.D.Becoming a writer was my childhood dream.2.阅读理解Lego is considering a brick (积木)rental plan in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste. The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable(可持续的) sources by 2030 and is investing significant resources into finding alternatives.Tim Brooks, vice-president responsible for sustainability, said the company was "totally open" to the idea of a product rental plan but admitted that lost pieces could produce a significant problem. "What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again?" Mr. Brooks added"There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done. We are right at beginning of that." Mr. Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the least amount of resources. He said many would "probably never see the light of day" and there was no current plan to try out a rental plan.Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint among growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment. It produces 19 billion pieces per year—36, 000 a minute—that are made entirely of plastic while much of the inside packaging is also plastic.So far, the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane. The green trees, plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but make up only 1%-2% of the total amount of plastic elements produced. Henrik Nielson, a production supervisor (主管) in Lego's factory, said last year: "We need to learn again how to do this."Lego reportedly releases around a million tons of carbon dioxide each year, with about 75% coming from raw materials that go into factories. The company has invested more than $100,000,000 and hired 100 people to research non-plastic alternatives. It is aiming to keep packaging out of landfill by 2025.（1）Lego is making great efforts to________.A.promote its brick rental planB.raise its production efficiencyC.explore ways to reduce plastic wasteD.develop new products（2）According to Mr Brooks, Lego's brick rental plan_______.A.is well underwayB.has a long way to goC.is totally uselessD.goes against Lego's interest（3）The writer tells of Lego's stress of reducing plastic waste by means of________.A.figuresB.examplesparisonD.classification（4）What is Lego's attitude towards developing non-plastic alternatives?A.Defensive.B.Determined.C.Disapproving.D.Doubtful.3.阅读理解Anyone who commutes(通勤)by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans are not alone in facing potential backups.Ants also commute—between their nest and sources of food. The survival of their colonies depends on doing this efficiently.When humans commute, there's a point at which cars become dense(稠密)enough to slow down the flow of traffic, causing jam. Motsch, a mathematician in Arizona State University, and his colleagues wanted to know if ants on the move could also get stuck. So they regulated traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched. "The goal was to try to find out at what point they are going to have a traffic jam." said Sebastien Motsch.But it appears that that never happened. They always managed to avoid traffic jam. The flow ants did increase at the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then leveled off at high densities. But it never slowed down or stopped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.The researchers then took a closer look at how the behaviour of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole and they found that when ants sense overcrowding they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. These behaviours may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is. The ants also manage to avoid colliding(碰撞)with each other at high densities, which could really slow them down. The study is in the journal eLife.Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely, says Motsch. That's because when it comes to getting from point a to point b as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first Individual ants have tobe more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in improving traffic flow for self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans-and more like ants.（1）How did the researchers control the traffic density of the commuting ants?A.By finding out the dense pointsB.Through closer observationC.By controlling the widths of their path.D.By regulating their numbers（2）According to the research, ants can avoid traffic jams mainly because________.A.they follow a special routeB.they level off at high densitiesC.they never stop or slow down on the wayD.they depend on their natural chemicals to adjust their speeds（3）What is the best title of the passage?A.Traffic jamsB.Unavoidable? Not for antsC.Survival of an ant colony.D.Difference between human and ants二、任务型阅读（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）（共1题；共10分）4.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。

AHamburg is in North Germany, and is a place with parks, lakes and canals.Now many visitors arrive by water as the city has become one of Europe's biggest cruise ship ports.Gareth Huw Davies discovers elegant areas of shopping, the highest cafe in town and the area where The Beatles learned their trade.Magical history tourThe biggest sound in music was launched here.The Beatles' time in Hamburg lasted from 1960 to 1962 and the beat goes on around the streets of St.Pauli.The main place is BeatlesPlatz, where the Reeperbahn and Grosse Freiheit meet.Metal statues of John, Paul, George, Stu Sutcliffe, and a composite of drummers Ringo Starr and Pete Best, stand on a circle.Poignant peaceSt.Nicholas is a place of calm ruin.The Victorian British architect George Gilbert Scott was asked to restore the church here after a fire, and from 1874 to 1876 its 483ft top was the world's tallest building.In 1943 the church was destroyed by Allied bombs.Small worldMiniatur Wunderland is one of the largest model railways in the world.Some 1,000 tiny trains run on ten miles of track in a perfectly composed landscape of 250,000 miniature trees.The random geographical spread takes in Switzerland, the USA, Italy and France.One section shows Hamburg itself in a useful overview of the city.Power towerHow do you recycle a ninestorey former Nazi defensive tower? It was so strong that even the British Army failed to knock it down in 1947.The solution mixes tourism and green power.The tower has become Europe's largest renewable energy power plant.A museum tells the story of the building—it gave shelter to thousands during wartime bombing.21．Why do many tourists go to Hamburg by ship?A．It's a famous cruise ship port.B．It's wellknown for its shipproduction.C．There is no other means oftransportation.D．Visitors now like to take a shipwhen touring.22．Where can people see metal statues of John, Paul and George?A．In St.Nicholas.B．In BeatlesPlatz.C．Outside Hamburg.D．Anywhere in Hamburg. 23．Who helped restore St.Nicholas in its history?A．The British Army.B．The Nazi in the world war.C．An architect called Gilbert Scott.D．An American architect namedVictoria.BThe bathroom was one of the few places that technology had not been very successful in entering，but with Japanese smart toilets gaining in popularity around the world，this last bastion is about to fall.And if you're wondering what makes smart toilets so special，just check out the smartest of them all，the Toto Neorest NX2.Quite frankly，there's not a lot this toilet can't do.It automatically lifts the seat as you approach it，and if you program it，it can even heat up the toilet seat instantly，so that your legs don't feel cold when you sit on it.Once you've finished your “business”，you don't need to use toilet paper to clean yourself，as the Neorest is more than happy to do it for you with gentle beams of warm purified water.And since leaving you with a wet behind (屁股) just isn't very practical，the smart toilet also has a builtin dryer.There's no need to grab a can of deodorant (除臭剂) and spray it all around you to cover bad odors as the Neorest NX2 also has its own deodorizer.Toto's “Tornado Flush” has been completely redesigned to not only be more effective in removing waste from the bowl，but also clean the surfaces most difficult to reach.The NX2 uses ionized eWater＋，which is basically electrolyzed water with cleaning and antibacterial functions，and if that doesn't get everything perfectly clean，the ultraviolet light (紫外线) technology certainly will.You'll never have to clean this thing，at least not on the inside，because it cleans itself.And you never even have to touch its lid，as it comes down as soon as you step away from it.But the world's most advanced smart toilet doesn't come cheap.You'll have to pay around $11,000 for it when it hits the US market this summer.Worth it? Certainly，now if only I could afford it.24．What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A．Smart toilets are nothing special.B．Bathroom technology used to berare.C．Smart toilets are widespread inJapan.D．The Toto Neorest NX2 isn't asmart toilet.25．What can the Toto Neorest NX2 do for its users?A．Heat up the toilet seat whenprogrammed.B．Lift the toilet seat once they enterthe bathroom.C．Pass them toilet paper once theyfinished.D．Dry them after cleaning them with cold water.26．The NX2 can surely get everything perfectly clean with the help of ______.A．deodorizerB．Tornado FlushC．ultraviolet lightD．ionized eWater＋27．Which of the following statements about the NX2 reflects the author'sopinion?A．It is affordable to him.B．It isn't well worth the money.C．It is well received by Americans.D．Its services don't come at a low cost.CIn an attempt to raise awareness about the ability to turn wastewater into safe drinking water，a brewery (啤酒厂) in Stockholm，Sweden has started a new beer brand made with recycled sewage water (污水)．Called PU：REST，the new beer developed by Stockholm's New Carnegie Brewery together with the Swedish Environmental Research Institute (IVL) and Carlsberg is supposed to convince people that “secondhand water” can be as clean as normal tap water.IVL says that the challenge to get people to drink recycled water is not a technological one，but a psychological one，so what better way to convince consumers of the purity of treated wastewater than using it to create a beer?PU：REST was just born in Sweden on May 25th this year，and it's already being called “crap beer” on social media，but its creators remain hopeful that it will help change the general opinion about recycled wastewater.“The difficulties in getting this relatively efficient method to be used for the production of drinking water is not technical but primarily emotional，” said Staffan Filipsson，project manager at IVL.“The recycled water is as pure and safe as normal tap water，but most people are still skeptical about actual drinking purified wastewater.”Chris Thurgeson，brewmaster at New Carnegie Brewery，described PU：REST as a “crystal clear pilsner”，adding that his company took this challenge because it believes that both producers and consumers must dare to think differently if we are to successfully take care of Earth's resources.PU：REST reportedly has “a very clean and crisp (清爽的) taste”，but judging by the comments left on the New Carnegie Brewery Facebook page，consumers aren't that excited about it.You can now try PU: REST at New Carnegie Brewery's restaurant in Stockholm.Enjoy!28．What's the purpose of developing PU：REST?A．To make the best use of wastewater.B．To reduce the waste of drinking water.C．To prove recycled wastewater is drinkable.D．To appeal to the public to recycle wastewater.29．Why is it hard for people to drink recycled water?A．Because recycling water is no easy job.B．Because they doubt its purity andsafety.C．Because recycling water costsmuch money.D．Because they wouldn't like tochange their living habits. 30．What can consumers' attitude toward PU：REST be best described as?A．Cautious.B．Curious.C．Opposing.D．Unreasonable.31．According to the passage，PU：REST is ______.A．not a new product at allB．created by a Swedish breweryC．intended for special consumersD．at New Carnegie Brewery'srestaurant in StockholmDSometimes, you just can't help it; maybe you're watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away.Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks.According to Ad Vingerhoets, a professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands，who is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying, there are three types of tears.Basal tears are the first type.They act as a protective barrier between the eyes and the rest of the world.Next are reflex tears.They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them.Finally, there are emotional tears.“These are released in response to emotional states，” explains Vingerhoets.Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other.“Humans are very complex social creatures，”says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania.“It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others，” she says.Vingerhoets agrees.“I think that the reason why humans shed tears has something to do with our childhood，” he says.“That's the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care.The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person.”Vingerhoets says this_ability could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals.Tears were a safer way to get attention.“In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help，” he says.Vingerhoets and Bylsma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry.According to Bylsma，there is still much more to discover.“It's surprising，”she says, “how much we still don't know.”32．In the scientist's opinion, crying is ___.A．a sign of human evolutionB．a result of human kindnessC．a cause of personal growthD．a means of relying on each other 33．The underlined phrase “this ability” in the last but one paragraph refers to theability to ________.A．aim tears at someoneB．seek help wiselyC．cry emotionallyD．appeal to other people34．From the passage, we learn that Ad Vingerhoets and Lauren Bylsma ____.A．hold different opinions about the causes of tearsB．think positively of the effects of tearsC．are working together to study tearsD．have learned enough about tears 35．What can be a suitable title for the passage?A．The Types of TearsB．The Components of TearsC．The Science of TearsD．The Opinions about Tears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。

AAbout 20 years ago Nissan introduced the world's first “talking car”. Actually, it was just a recorded voice that would tell you that your door was open, and would continue talking to you until you closed it. Of course, it never caught__on．Times have changed and the talking car of the near future is a car that you talk to, rather than a car that talks to you. You'll be able to control your radio by giving voice orders, get traffic reports and directions, and send and receive e-mails. To do this, you needn't push a button at all.This is good news for those who spend more and more of their lives in their cars. In fact, the new type of cars will be more like offices on wheels, with computers, wireless Internet access, and satellite radio inside. Companies are hoping that time wasted in traffic could be put to better use. If workers are able to check their e-mails, faxes, andmeeting time on the way to work, they can spend more time at the office doing more important tasks.Microsoft, of course, is hoping that every one of those mobile offices will use Windows. “It's a great goal.” says Dick Brass，VP of Microsoft's automotive division，“But we'd like to have one of our operating systems in every car on earth.” There are already 650 million cars in the world, and every year about 50 million new cars roll off the production lines. If Brass' wish came true, cars could become a bigger business for Microsoft than computers.6.Which is TRUE about the world's first “talking car”？A．Nissan invented it.B．It was introduced in the late 20th century.C．It could record voices.D．It could not only record but also talk itself.答案：B7.The radio of the new talking car can be operated by receiving________．A．traffic reports B．voice ordersC．light signals D．electricity energy答案：B8．Companies may be happy with new type of cars because ________．A．much time will be wasted in trafficB．their workers will get to the office earlierC．their workers will have more time to do more important work D．their workers will check e-mails, faxes, and meeting time at home答案：C9.The underlined phrase “caught on” in the first paragraph probably means“________”．A．turned on B．took offC．become popular D．was colourful答案：C10．We can learn from the passage that________．A．all of the mobile offices will use WindowsB．about 50 million new cars are produced every yearC．the new type of talking car has a recorded voice insideD．the talking car of the near future is a car that talks to you答案：BBA few years ago, I realized that I had a fear of heights. Sometimes I would feel uncomfortable if I looked down from somewhere high and the higher I got, the worse I felt. However, there were some things that made me nervous when I looked up at them—such as drop towers(急速下降塔)．About a month ago, my family and I went on a trip to Marineland—an amusement park with a sea animal theme.One of Marineland's attractions is a huge drop tower called the “Sky Screamer”. My dad wanted to ride it, and he wanted to take me with him. He kept nagging(唠叨) me, and I finally gave in, because I wanted to face my fears.Going up was terrible. I got stomachaches from just looking at the tower. When we reached the tower, we lined up and got seated on the ride. When it reached a few feet off the ground, it stopped for a moment, before sending us straight to the top at great speed. I squeezed my eyes shut and I held the handlebar(把手) as tightly as I could. A few seconds later my heart was in my mouth and I was screaming my lungs out. At the top, I opened my eyes and looked forward, not down.I tried to prepare myself for the way down, but it didn't really help. There I was, with my eyes squeezed shut，holding the handlebar and again, screaming at the top of my voice. In fact, it was even worse than going up！But when I got to the bottom, I felt relieved(放松的). I thanked my dad for forcing me to go on the ride，and I was pleased I had faced my fears.So, was the “Sky Screamer” scary? Well, maybe just a little bit.11.

It was America's second strongest earthquake and about 100 people were killed. It happened in the evening as people were travelling home.A wide and busy road which was built like a bridge over another roadfell onto the one below. Many people were killed in their cars, but a few lucky ones were not hurt.Luckily the 1989 earthquake did not happen in the centre of town but about 50 kilometres away. In one part of the town a great many buildings were destroyed. These buildings were over 50 years old, so they were not strong enough.There were a lot of fires all over the city. The electricity was cut off for several days too.Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates.At San Francisco the Pacific plate which is moving towards the northwest meets the North American plate. The Pacific plate is moving very slowly—at 5.3 centimetres a year. Sometimes these two plates stop and do not move for years.Then suddenly, they jump and an earthquake is felt. As a result of the movement of these plates, west America near the sea has always been a bad place for earthquakes. When the 1906 earthquake happened, the Pacific plate jumped 5－6 metres to the north.Scientists are afraid that one day an even bigger earthquake will hit the area around San Francisco. They call it “The Big One”. However, people today are still building more houses. The population in and around San Francisco is now ten times more than it was in 1906. This means that if there is another big earthquake, a great many houses and buildings will be destroyed.16.Fewer people were killed in the 1989 San Francisco earthquake because the earthquake happened________．A．in the centre of the city B．in the daytimeC．outside the city D．in the evening答案：C17.Which might be the worst earthquake in the history of the USA according to the passage?A．The 1906 earthquake.
