2024年山东省泰安市高考英语一模试卷(含详细答案解析)
2024年山东省泰安市高考英语一模试卷一、阅读理解：本大题共15小题，共37.5分。
A"The Greatest Night in Pop" Makes a Trip Down Memory Lane for You and MeBeing of a certain age will surely enhance the pleasure in watching "The Greatest Night in Pop"，a documentary on the making of "We Are the World" nearly 40 years ago.Lionel Richie serves as the tour guide for this trip down memory lane，which fulfills its promise to make a better day for you and me.For those who don't remember，the song and video to benefit starving people in Africa was pulled together in 1985，cleverly gathering nearly four dozen influential musical stars after they appeared at the American Music Awards.As Richie notes，organizers knew they had "one night only to get this right，" with producer Quincy Jones famously posting a sign outside that read， "Check your ego （自负） at the door."Directed by Bao Nguyen，the whole thing is pretty exciting，drawing from the enough footage （连续镜头）shot that night to provide plenty of fly-on-the-wall moments，added by interviews with musicians and the production crew.There are plenty of amusing details，like Diana Ross asking Daryl Hall for his signature，which opened the floodgates to these performers releasing their inner fans and moving around the room collecting signatures. Granted，the trade-off to watching is you'll likely be humming or singing "We Are the World" for the next several days.Consider that a relatively small price to pay for a front-row seat to this remarkable gathering of musical royalty，and the magic that happened during one long night when，at Jones' request，they left their egos outside.1.What is a purpose of the documentary？______A. To benefit starving people in Africa.B. To be in honour of "We Are the World".C. To remember famous American musicians.D. To raise fund for the American Music Awards.2.Who is the director of the documentary？______A. Quincy Jones.B. Diana Ross.C. Lionel Richie.D. Bao Nguyen.3.What do we know about the documentary？______A. It may make the song popular again.B. The price of a front-row seat is worthless.C. The younger you are，the more you like it.D. The production crew are more royal to music.BWhen Stanford University student Ellen Xu was a five-year-old in California，she vividly recalls her parents rushing her little sister to the hospital.Three-year-old Kate had fallen acutely ill；she had a fever，reddened eyes，a rash and some swelling in her hands and tongue.At first，the puzzled doctors thought she had influenza，but when her condition didn't improve，the Xus returned to the emergency room，where a doctor by chance had prior experience with an acute inflammatory （炎症性的） reaction in the blood vessels known as Kawasaki disease.Though rare，it's the leading cause of acquired heart disease in babies and young children，and its cause and triggers remain somewhat mysterious.The doctor knew how to treat it：He ordered a dose of intravenous immunoglobulin，and eventually Kate shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart.Xu remembers being curious about her sister's dramatic condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn't answer her questions about why it was so hard to detect. "In my mind，it was this mystery，she says. "It was a puzzle I wanted to solve. "A decade later，wanting to enter a high school science fair，she had an idea： "What if we had a doctor in our pocket" So she created just that：Using AT，Xu designed an algorithm（算法） that uses visual data to diagnose （诊断） Kawasaki disease based on five physical symptoms.The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you've taken on your cellphone.Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child，and the technology will scan the image for symptoms of Kawasaki disease，which often have a strong visual element，such as a rash or a swollen tongue.Xu's invention has been applied as a web app on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation's website without charge. "The technology could also be developed for recognizing auto-immune and rheumatological （风湿病学的）diseases， " she says. "It means a lot to me.I want to use Al to help people live happier and healthier lives. "4.Why was Kawasaki disease so hard to diagnose？______A. It had no symptoms.B. It had never been known before.C. It could be confused with influenza.D. It couldn't be diagnosed by medical instruments.5.What's the function of the first three paragraphs？______A. To describe the bad results of the disease.B. To introduce a case remaining mysterious.C. To show why Xu developed the technology.D. To prove doctors should accumulate clinical experience.6.What's the advantage of Xu's invention？______A. It is convenient and cheap.B. It can take the place of doctors.C. It can treat Kawasaki disease quickly.D. It can diagnose Kawasaki disease via scanned pictures.7.What can be learned from the text？______A. The technology is an AI-powered diagnosed tool.B. Xu had the idea of the technology when Kate was treated.C. The technology can't be applied to diagnose other diseases.D. Influenza is the leading reason of acquired heart disease in babies.C"Deep Work：Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World" by Cal Newport is an exploration of the challenges posed by our modern，digitally-driven environment and the strategies one can employ to achieve focused success.Newport researches the concept of deep work，emphasizing its critical role in an era marked by constant distractions.The book addresses the common issue of information overload and the impact of shallow tasks on productivity.Newport argues that the ability to engage in deep，concentrated work is essential for success.The author supports his claims with research，including experiments comparing brain connectivity patterns during deep work and shallow tasks.Newport's work agrees with earlier studies，confirming that handwritten notes outperform （胜过） typed ones inacademic performance.Beyond academia，Newport presents evidence of the cognitive （认知的） benefits of deep work.The book provides practical strategies for integrating deep work into one's professional life，advocating for routines and intentional changing of the brain to resist distractions.Newport introduces concepts like productive meditation （冥想） and the craftsman approach to tool selection，offering readers actionable advice to enhance their focus and productivity."Deep Work" has won widespread praise for its insights into productivity in a distracted world.Many praise Newport's thorough research，combining neuroscience with practical advice.Readers appreciate the real-world examples，from Carl Jung's focused mindset to a social media pioneer's distraction-free writing journey.In conclusion， "Deep Work" stands as a valuable guide for navigating the challenges of the digital age.Newport's exploration of deep work as a catalyst （催化剂） for success，supported by research and concrete strategies，has left a lasting impact on how individuals approach their professional and personal lives.It serves as a timely reminder to prioritize focus and concentration in an era defined by constant connectivity and distractions.8.What kind of writing is this passage？______A. A book review.B. An advertisement.C. A science report.D. A psychological research.9.How does Cal Newport support his claims about the benefits of deep work in the book？______A.

Habitat.B. Shelter.C. Community.D. Destination.13.Which will not be considered when we step out of our comfort zone？______A. We recall the old experience.B. We think whether it is worth the risk.C.

The importance of psychological well-being.C. The process of learning a new musical instrument.D. The benefits of stepping out of one's comfort zone.15.Which of the following is the best title for the text？______A. How to Identify Comfort ZoneB. Staying Inside Comfort Zone is ImportantC.

conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating.This made Musk think a lot—how he might make a difference to the food industry—but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant,Musk hadn’t yet broken the code.Then he went sailing down a snowy slope(坡)and fell over,breaking his neck.Musk eventually made a full recovery,but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan.Since then,he has launched an initiative to put“learning gardens”in public schools across America;attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech,data-driven,year-round farms;and this year,is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home gardens.Aimed at reaching low-income families,the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic,as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives.“We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before,”says Musk.“People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons:to save money on groceries,to improve the nutritional quality of their diets,or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.”The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors,and will be distributed through schools that Musk’s non-profit,Big Green,has already partnered with.It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials forthe changing growing seasons.“It’s not difficult.Anyone can do this,no matter where you come from,no matter where you live.We are all able to grow something,”says Musk. 4．What inspired Musk to make a difference to food industry?A．The pandemic.B．A skiing accident.C．Jamie Oliver’s speech.D．The farm-to-table movement. 5．What is a cause of people beginning gardening according to Musk?A．To get access to healthy food.B．To make their house beautiful.C．To make money by selling garden produce.D．To build up their strength during the pandemic.6．What does the Million Gardens Movement focus on?A．Encouraging people to preserve nature.B．Providing free food for low-income families.C．Promoting“learning gardens”across schools.D．Educating new gardeners to grow their own food.7．Which of the following best describes Musk?A．Charity-minded.B．Stubborn.C．Easy-going.D．Scholarly.IntroductionBlenheim Palace is one of the Europe’s largest and greatest palaces.It was built between 1705and1722as a

ANot many people are comfortable going deep underground.But humans have been going under-ground for as long as we've been humans.All over the world you'll find all manner of magnificent underground phenomena.Here are our favourite.1.Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira,ColombiaEngineers,miners and sculptors managed to carve a cathedral beneath200meres.Even more amazing is just how spectacular the Salt Cathedralof Zipaquira in Colombia is.The light falls through it,filling the rooms and tunnels with almost neon-like blues and purples.Catch it on a Sunday,and you'll discover it's still a fully-functioning Roman Catholic church.2.Salina Turda,RomaniaBuilt deep below the Earth's surface in a salt mine,Salina Turda features attractions like a panoramic wheel,mini-golf,bowling,table tennis and even boating on a mine lake.What the park lacks in traditional high-thrills roller coasters,it makes up for in stunning scenery.3.Under,NorwayThough not so much underground as underwater,Under in Kristiansand,Norway,this classy restaurant is five and a half metres below the surface.Diners enjoy themselves as icy North Sea cur-rents move across the windows.You neverquite know what might emerge out of the deep.4.Thrihnukagigur,IcelandIf you don't want to climb up to a volcano crater or view it from far away,you can take a lift 700feet down into the volcano.Thrihnukagigur is safe,having not erupted in4,000years,but even so,it takes a certain kind of thrill-seeker to actively want to get up close and personal with a volcano.1.Which of the following serves as a church?A.Under in Norway.B.Salina Turda in Romania.C.Thrihnukagigur in Iceland.D.Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira in Colombia.2.What can visitors do at Under in Norway?A.Ride on a roller coaster or play mini-golf.B.Have dinner in an underwater restaurant.C.See the light fill every room in the church.D.Take a lift and go down into the volcano.3.What makes Thrihnukagigur a safe place to visit?A.It's only open to church people on Sunday.B.It features safe recreational equipment.C.The lift can take visitors in and out fast.D.It's been inactive for thousands of years.BMy sixteen-year-old daughter Julia called twenty minutes after she left,saying she had an accident.I grabbed my shoes and was in the car in less than a minute.When I finally saw her,I hugged her tight.Then I looked at the other driver.Learning that he fell asleep behind the wheel at about seventy miles an hour when the speed limit was forty-five,I could have choked him.“It could have been worse,”I reminded myself as she cried all the way to the doctor's office. Luckily,four days after the accident,Julia felt better.At her appointment,her doctor cleared her to resume normal activities,including driving.But I could tell by her look that she had no intention of getting behind the wheel.Later that day,I sat with Julia as she spoke on the phone with our insurance agent.On the phone,she was professional,telling the agent what had happened in a clear,concise way.I realized she sounded like an adult.And adults drive cars.I realized that no matter how I felt about it, allowing Julia to give in to her fear wasn't good for her.When she hung up,I hugged her.“You're stronger than you think,"I said."And tomorrow you're going to drive my car and meet your friends for lunch.You just have to push through the fear and do it,and it will get easier each time you do.”I ignored the fear in her eyes and the way my heart sped up when I thought about Julia behind the wheel again.The next day,Julia drove my car to meet her friends.As I watched her leave,I felt nervous and proud.She texted me when she got to the restaurant,and I felt my heart rate return to normal.The tears I'd been holding back all week flooded my eyes.Watching her leave the house without

kitchen table,a noisy cafe or the office hot desk.Now hotels are offering"third spaces", promoting the concept of work in an elegant setting.Your columnist Bartleby tried out two recent London offerings.She first headed to Birch,a hotel north of the city.Men and women in their20s and early30s work over laptops and glasses of red wine at its Hub co-working area,with classes in pottery, baking,and other structured activities.Some pay a monthly membership fee and enjoy special discounts to stay there and work digitally remotely,but you can,like Bartleby,come as an overnightguest.Her second destination was the Shangri-La hotel in the Shard,which now offers stays from 10am to6pm,aimed at those wishing to work and relax by offering a change of scenery to inspire.Both Birch and the Shangri-La have their virtues,like Birch's excellent Wi-Fi and the stretch class.So does the Shangri-La,with its pool and a view of St Paul's Cathedral from your room on the38th floor.Yet problems soon became apparent.The first is price.An overnight stay at Birch or the Shangri-La sets you back,while the city has plenty of cheaper“third spaces”.The second problem is:how productive workers can be with all the distractions designed to make work not feel like work?Third,if you can get down to business,you may as well be at home or the office.The friendly atmosphere Birch tries so hard to produce is the very thing you miss by staying away from your office.As with most material indulgences（放纵），a sense of emptiness comes once the freshness of the hotel wears off.Just don't expect white-collar types to crowd in hotels for a hard day's work.Most of the Shangri-La's daytime residents aren't executives keen t inspire.As for Bartleby,you will find her at The Economist's London head office or,failing that,her kitchen table.8.What's the purpose of working"third spaces"?A.To free people of traveling to work.B.To promote workplace creativity.C.To place workers in good work settings.D.To help people deal with the lockdown.9.What's the advantage of Birch according to Bartleby?A.It holds regular work-related classes.B.It provides discounts for companies.C.It has inspiring scenery for visitors.D.It offers day work and night stays.10.What does the Shangri-La offer to office workers?A.Stays there in the working hours.B.Stays overnight for office work.C.The friendly office atmosphere.D.Work-related training courses.11.How does the author like the idea of working from hotels?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Sympathetic.D.Uncertain.DCar tyres produce particles（微粒）when picking up speed or stopping，which are considered by environmental scientists to be one of the most significant sources of micro-plastics in the ocean.Rain-fall and wind carry them into rivers and the sea.They are also released into the atmosphere,where they can circulate into the ocean and back again.A2020study suggested windblown micro-plastics are a bigger source of ocean pollution than rivers.While it is difficult to pin down the exact composition of micro-plastics,there is plenty of re-search which points to tyre dust making up a significant portion.In2017,a global model found tyre wear to be the second largest source of primary micro-plastics in the ocean,at28%.And in 2019,a report by scientists across Europe concluded abrasion（磨损）from car tyres was a large source of micro-plastics.While there remains a lack of data on risks to the environment and human health,the scientists concluded that if future emissions remain constant or increase,the ecological risks could be widespread within a century.Tyre-wear particles are ubiquitous.The average tyre loses4kg over its lifetime,and tyre particles have been found everywhere from the deep sea to the atmosphere,even in the Arctic and the Antarctic.The study of micro plastic is just beginning.Fewer than 100scientific papers about them have been published to date,all of them in the last decade.Edward Kolodziej,a professor at the University of Washington,cites two studies from China showing that tyre dust is an important contributor to urban air pollution.“There're unknown chemicals present in these things that are ending up in our lungs.”Experts call for more transparency from the tyre companies.“But the formula is what gives a manufacturer competitive advantage.Sharing ingredients is difficult and complicated.Very few people,except manufacturers,know what's in the tyres,”said Allen.“When it comes to micro-plastic,we don't know what a safe level is and we may have already passed it."12.What did the global model find about car tyres?A.They cause more pollution to the sea than to rivers.B.Their exact composition can be tracked down.C.Tyre particles are one of the largest sea pollutants.D.They have caused great risk to human survival.13.What does the underlined word "ubiquitous"in paragraph 3mean?A.Widespread.B.Dangerous.plex.D.Unique.14.What can we infer from Edward's words?A.The two studies from China are leading the fashion.B.The unknown chemicals in the air are dangerous.C.Tyre particles are a major pollutant in the air in cities.D.Further research should be done about tyre particles.15.Which is the most suitable title for the text?A.Tyres Are to Blame as a Pollutant in the OceanB.Tyre Companies Should Act Against Micro-plasticC.Tyre Dust Becomes a Huge Threat to Ocean LifeD.Safety Levels of Micro-plastic Have Been Raised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。
