2023年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟测试英语试卷(含答案)
2023年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟测试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Major Cold, or da han in Chinese, is the last solar term in the annual solar calendar. Here are some things about Major Cold.Cold currentDuring Major Cold, as the cold current moves southward, the weather is often cold to the extreme. Though the related data in China show that the lowest temperature in a year is usually recorded during the Major Cold period, it may not be as cold as Minor Cold in most a reason the whole since spring is approaching.Dispelling(驱散) coldDuring Major Cold, the freezing weather has a big influence on Chinese people's lives. Rather than take up outdoor activities, people tend to reduce movements and choose to stay at home to keep fit in various ways. For example, to stay warm, people in Beijing have a habit of eating dispelling cold cake, a kind of rice cake that is thought good to warm andnourish(滋养). Besides, in Chinese, “rice cake” has the same pronunciation with the words “higher in a new year”, which symbolizes good luck and continual promotion. For another example, residents in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province like to drink nourishing chicken soup during Major Cold.The ending and the beginningMajor Cold often coincides(重叠) with the end of the year, so the folk customs of this period have an added sense of farewell to the old and welcoming the new. With the traditional Spring Festival around the corner, people are busy making preparations for it, like stocking up delicacies, sweeping and decorating. The cheerfulness of the reunion adds warmth to the cold winter days.1、What is the feature of Major Cold?A. Lasting much longer than Minor Cold.B. Being colder than Minor Cold on average.C.Resulting from cold current moving southward.D.Dropping to the lowest temperature of the year.2、How do Chinese people respond to Major Cold?A. By doing exercise to keep healthy.B.By expressing new year's resolution.C.By eating specific food to keep warm.D. By decorating their houses to dispel cold.3、In which part of a newspaper may the text appear?A. Culture.B. News.C. Diet.D. Art.I am a boy who likes reading and I read all kinds of books. When I do this, I have ended up with two speeds-fast and slow depending on how worthwhile I find the book. I like to analyze and ponder over the words and contents of the books, which can sharpen my mind.When I read the book Intrinsic Motivation(《内在动机》), I ask myself, “What kind of book is it?” Well, first of all, I have to say Dan Pink writes well, which is probably not surprising as he is a speechwriter for an American leader. The text is neither academically difficult nor overly casual. It states information clearly without effort. The subject matter of the book is motivation, and it starts with a discussion of how external motivation is less effective for modern knowledge work, where wide intelligent decision-making and innovation are essential.The book shows that the tricky nature of how we are truly motivated is uncovered with plenty of examples and descriptions of sound research. For example, it is shown how payment can signal that a task is undesirable and so reduce intrinsic motivation. The heart of the book is the analysis of intrinsic motivation, in particular through the three key elements of autonomy, mastery and purpose. The rest of the book then takes an applied position, showing how these principles can be applied in the workplace. The book ends up with a comprehensive summary, covering the contents from several different angles and providing an easy future reference.This is the sort of book I like most. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, I took quite a long time to read and re-read this excellent book. It covers the subject of motivation strongly and well, and is now one of my definitive references in a rather large library.4、What does the underlined phrase "ponder over" in paragraph 1 mean?A.Think about.B.Speak out.C.Cut down.D. Take over.5、What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The effects of external motivation.B. The elements of worthwhile books.C.The author's understanding of the book.D. The author's intelligence for reading books.6、How does the book mainly expand on the nature of intrinsic motivation?A.By highlighting instances.B.By making assumptions.C.By drawing comparisons.D.By listing statistics.7、What is the text?A.A news report.B.A biography.C.A novel.D.A book review.James Rilling of Emory University in Atlanta published the study in The Royal Society in November, 2021. His team surveyed 50 grandmothers each with one biological grandchild be-tween 3 and 12 years old and one of their own child. They also measured the brain function as the participants viewed pictures of their grandchild and the same-sex parent of the grandchild. Researchers found that grandmothers viewing their grandchild's pictures activated parts of the brain that involved emotional empathy(共鸣) and movement.In contrast, the study also found that when grandmothers viewed images of their adult child, they showed stronger activation in an area of the brain associated with cognitive(认知的) empathy. That indicates they may be trying to cognitively understand what their adult child is thinking or feeling and why, but not as much from the emotional side. Compared with results from an earlier study by the Rilling lab of fathers viewing photos of their children, results showed that grandmothers activated more parts of the brain that involved emotional empathy and motivation.“That suggests that grandmothers tend to feel what their grandchildren are feeling when they interact with them,” Rilling said, “If their grandchild is smiling, they're feeling thechild's joy. And if their grandchild is crying, they're feeling the child's pain and sorr ow.” In many societies, grandmothers are important caregivers, and their investment is often associated with improving their grandchildren's well-being.It's part of the reason why the US celebrates Grandparents' Day each year on the first Sunday after Labor Day in September. The announcement was signed in 1978. “Because grandparents are usually free to love, guide and befriend the young without having to take the daily responsibility for them, they can reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations,” the announcement read.8、How many generations were there at least in the participants' families?A.2.B.3.C.4.D.5.9、What did Rilling say about grandmothers and their grandchildren in paragraph 3?A. Their cognitive abilities.B. Their emotional interaction.C. Their respective preferences.D. Their important characteristics.10、What did the 1978 announcement show?A. The fear of grandparents.B. Grandparents' Day activities.C. The origin of Grandparents' Day.D. Grandparents' responsibilities.11、What can be the best title for the text?A. Grandmothers Are More Likely to Be EmotionalB. Grandmothers Empathize with Their Own ChildrenC. Grandmothers Have Generation Gaps with GrandchildrenD. Grandmothers Hold Deep Bond with GrandchildrenCities are the planet's largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions(排放), so they offer the greatest opportunity to tackle climate change. Hitting net zero emissions by 2050, a target set at the COP26 summit, could be achieved more quickly using city digital twins—working virtual replicas(复制品) that help track, manage and reduce environmental damage rapidly. The United Nations says cities, the most suitable subjects, which occupy less than two percent of the Earth's surface, are major contributors to climate change, consuming almost 80 percent of the world's energy and producing more than 60 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Urban areas are forecast to grow by another 2.5 billion people by 2050.Digital twins look and behave identically in their real-world physical environments. Similar technologies have been in use since NASA's Apollo moon mission in 1969, where computers and machine replicas were used to test and monitor spacecraft. Virtual 3D city models link to networks of sensors that collect data from buildings, transport, air quality and energy use, to see where emissions can be cut and efficiency improved.The UK is planning a kind of national digital twins that will connect digital replicas man-aging buildings, factories, and the other infrastructure nationwide. And that could lead to en-tire virtual world online, part of a virtual reality space proposed by tech companies.Research shows that digital tw ins can save cities more than $280 billion globally by 2030 through more efficient urban planning. A provider of digital twins, Cityzenith, believes that net zero deadlines could be achieved 15 years early if the world's 100 biggest cities use the technology to remove carbon. “They are the perfect tool for managing and accelerating the energy transition,” said CEO Michael Jansen. “We could get to net zero emissions globally by2035.”In the US, the Digital Twin Consortium is working to standardize how digital twins are built and share data. Big tech companies around the world have developed software forreplica-ting cities, including a district of Berlin, the island nation of Singapore, and the entire city of Shanghai in China.12、What are city digital twins used to do?A. Decorate cities.B. Change cities' climate.C.Popularize urban technology.D. Reduce urban carbon emissions.13、Why are cities chosen for the use of digital twins?A. They occupy most of the Earth's surface.B. They consume little of the world's energy.C.They produce little of solid waste pollution.D. They contribute most to the greenhouse effect.14、Why is the Apollo moon mission mentioned in the text?A. To prove the accuracy of network data.B. To explain the application of digital twins.C. To tell us the importance of space tasks.D.To show the difficulty of urban construction.15、What can we learn about city digital twins from the last two paragraphs?A. They lack research funding.B. They have reached a standard level.C.They are practical and promising.D.They are complex and unrecognizable.二、七选五16、 Every company faces the same challenge: How can they show their uniqueness so that buyers will only purchase from them?

For thousands of years, local fishermen have been diving in the shallow waters on this side ofAnegada in search of these, slow-moving snails. Many of them have been throwing their large shells in the same spot. The shell mountain is a result of their perseverance（坚持）.Conches are harvested both for their meat, which is a staple（主食）of Caribbean cuisine, and for their nice-looking shells, which are sold as jewelry. This makes us understand why local sellers don't just use the shells of Conch Island but also buy them from fishermen. Apparently, while these millions of conch shells make a wonderful sight from a distance, they aren't that pretty up close."These shells aren't as pretty as you probably think they are," Reddit user Viking Mart explained on the popular social network. "Most of of them are damaged. This is because in order to get the conch meat out, fishermen usually make a hole by the 'nose' of the shell. This is to reach and loosen the snail muscle and then pull it out. This leaves these conch shells damaged and one would probably have a hard time selling them."Modern day conch fishermen have been contributing heavily to the rise of Conch Island over the past 200 years, but while that has made it that much more attractive of a tourist attraction, it has also put the snails on the endangered species list.（1）What leads to the formation of Conch Island?A.The continuous birth of conches.B.The development of tourism.C.Increasing demand for conch meat.D.Shells thrown by farmers for a long time.（2）Why do sellers buy conches besides picking up them on the Conch Island?A.They need to sell conch meat.B.They want to help the poor fishermen.C.Those which are bought are of higher quality.D.Those on the Conch Island are damaged.（3）What can we learn from Viking Mart's words?A.Most people think shells are beautiful.B.The shells are not so good as people expect.C.Viking Mart is fond of surfing the Internet.D.Farmers always damage the shells on purpose.（4）What is the present situation of the conches?A.They sell well on the market.B.They live happily on Conch Island.C.They are becoming the endangered species.D.They are made into different shapes to sell.5.(7分)Spend some time watching flamingos（火烈鸟）and you might think that not much goes on in their tiny heads.But these elegant birds actually lead complex social lives. Each bird has certain other individuals it prefers to spend time with, and others it avoids. In other words, flamingos have friends.For five years, Rose and his team observed the daily goings on of five of the world's six different flamingo species housed at the WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre in Gloucestershire."The partnerships that we see between birds are non random. The birds are choosing who to associate with." Male-female pairs spend time together, but so do same-sex pairs and even groups of three or four. And those relationships can last for many years."So there were some flamingos in the group that really didn't care who their partner was for that day, they would flit（轻快地掠过）around… and they would have many different relationships with many different birds." And of course there were other flamingos that were less social butterfly and more alone wolf. But even they had a few close friends. "Those birds that were least social… had more investment in a smaller number of social connection with flamingos that they knew really well."Rose thinks that flamingos may have evolved（演变）their social lives due to their wetland habitats—in which the resources they need are concentrated in a small area.If flamingos know their partners, if they know that these six birds, say, are friendly, and they get on with them, they can then waste less energy scrapping and quarreling with other birds that they don't get on with.By spending time with their friends, flamingos can more efficiently direct their limited time and energy to activities like hunting and mating.（1）What do we know about flamingos?A.They are very elegant birds with big heads.B.They make friends with other flamingos they like.C.Male flamingos only spend time with female ones.D.They usually change partners every couple of months.（2）What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?A.Most flamingos don't care who their partner is.B.Flamingos always don't have close friends.C.A majority of flamingos are good at social activities.D.Some flamingos would fly around to find different friends.（3）How do social activities benefit flamingos?A.By storing food resources.B.By living a relaxing life.C.By flying further to get mating.D.By making the best of their time and energy.（4）What is the best title for the text?A.Flamingos Can Be Picky About CompanyB.Rose And His Research on WildlifeC.How to Protect the Endangered FlamingosD.Why do Flamingos Need Partners6. （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。

(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)(共15题;共30分)ADuring ancient times,children didn’t have smartphones,iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead,they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty,kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China,and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold.Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet.In1999,the sport was included in the6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history.The earliest kites were made of wood,instead of paper.Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite,Tianjin kite,Weifang kite and Nantong kite,of which each has distinctive features.The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children,popular around the nation.There are two ways to play:covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄)him or,more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center.By juggling(边抛边接)the diabolo on the rope,the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle.Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game,especially popular in North China.Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage.1．Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A．To practice their feet B．To warm themselvesC．To train their skills D．To relax themselves.2．Which kites are swallow-shaped?A．Weifang kites.B．Tianjin kites.C．Beijing kites.D．Nantong kites.3．According to the passage,which one is a national intangible cultural heritage?A．Stone balls.B．Flying kites.C．Hide-and-seek.D．Playing diabolosBTechnology usually distracts us from nature.But now technology is“offering us an opportunity to listen to nonhumans in powerful ways,reviving our connection to the natural world,”wrote professor Karen Bakker in her new book,The Sounds of Life:How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants.All around the animal kingdom,there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher.Elephants, for example,communicate with each other using infrasound,a sound frequency far below our human hearing range.Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves,with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow.This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears!Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect.After the sounds are recorded,AI is then able to determine their meaning,according to the news website Vox.There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances.Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into“a zoological version of Google Translate”.One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant.She explained how elephants“have a different signal for honeybee,which is a threat,and a different signal for human,”in an interview with Vox.“Moreover,they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,”she said.This technology can not only understand the animals,but also communicate back to them.For example,bees use dances to communicate to their peers where to go in search of nectar.A research team in Germany,therefore,fed the bee language AI database system into a robot bee,allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move,Vox reported.Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes,with there being many examples of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)having been taught sign language to communicate with humans,this new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.4．What does the underlined word“decipher”most probably mean in paragraph2? A．Understand.B．Hear.C．Produce.D．Record.5．What helps baby coral choose their home?A．Infrasound.B．Sounds within human range of hearing. C．Sounds through its ears.D．Sound waves.6．What can we infer from the passage?A．Bees used dances to warn their peers of danger.B．Human fed listening devices into coral to detect it.C．Elephants have different signals for different purposes.D．Elephants can tell whether there are threatening animals around.7．Why did researchers create the robot bee?A．To collect more bee dances.B．To convey direction to bees.C．To learn the language of bees.D．To help bees search for their friends.CWhen you are travelling in Thailand,which means of transport is the best choice?You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand.It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north.The most popular bikes are the little125cc Honda Dream which you can get for about150baht(铢)a day or as little as3,000baht per month,making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi.When you are in cities in Thailand,especially in Bangkok,always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads.Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(计程表).They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good,so renting cars is another way to get around.The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable price.It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West.Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand,more expensive than American prices,but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe.In the past,Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai (泰语)only,making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around.But now,the situation is improved.In a lot of places,even the farthest corners of the country,street signs are in both Thai and English.8．To a foreigner,the cheapest way to get around Thailand is renting a______.A．car B．taxi C．bike D．motorbike9．What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?A．To take a taxi going on the road.B．To take a taxi parked outside hotels.C．To make sure there is a meter in it.D．To bargain with the driver over the price. 10．Why was it difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past?A．Because there were too many traffic jams on the roads.B．Because there were no signs showing directions.C．Because the signs were written only in their own language.D．Because the quality of the roads was not good.11．In which part of magazine can this passage be found?A．Entertainment B．Tourism C．Market D．AdvertisementDWilliam I,who conquered England some930years ago,had wealth,power and an army.Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time,he had nothing like a flush toilet(抽水马桶)，or riding lawn mower(除草机).How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me.I have storm windows, Croesus did not.Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great,but he couldn,t buy cat food.Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people,you,d think I,d be content.The trouble is that,like most people,I compare my wealth with that of living persons:neighbors,school classmates,famous TV people.The greed I feel toward my friend Howard,s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.’There is really no rising or falling standard of living.Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about.You,d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood,but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course,one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today,s standards the things I own are pretty nice.My house is smaller than the houses of many investments bankers,but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides,to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future,these bankers,fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can,t keep up with my neighbors right now.But just wait.12．What does the underlined phrase“get by”in the first paragraph mean?A．Succeed as a king.B．Deal with complaints.C．Live in s satisfactory way.D．Get

France,you are supposed to use two hands to eat—either fork and knife or fork and bread.Bread isn't meant to be an appetizer.___17___When you eat the bread,tear off a piece of it to eat instead of

He tried hard and he wrote letters to many companies until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris began to lose his confidence, then depressed. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future."Why don't you start your own business?" his uncle told him. "The world is a money-locker. You'd better find a way of opening it.""But what can I do?""Get out and have a look round," advised his uncle. "See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay you for it."Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit（利润）. A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good: in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other problems. But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop in a new place where there were plenty of customers but no competition.Boris and his assistant taught themselves how repair scooters and motorcycles.

Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. For example, donators（捐赠者）will give 150,000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia.Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day, but very few use soap at so-called important moments. These include after washing the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap. Partners include the United Nations Children's Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germ（细菌）. They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub（揉搓）it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Rub for at29.(8分)The sun appears to experience far fewer changes in brightness and intensity than other stars like it. Researchers reported last week on their examination of 369 stars. They compared each one to the sun in terms of surface temperature, size and rotation. They found that on average, the other stars had five times more brightness variability than our sun.The lead author was Timo Reinhold, an astronomer with the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany. He told the Reuters news agency that the variability in brightness results from dark spots on the surface of the star moving in and out of view."A direct measure of solar activity is the number of sunspots on the surface," Reinhold said. "Findingsuch stars with very similar parameters as our sun but being five times more variable was surprising."The sun—made up mainly of hydrogen and helium—is an average-sized star that formed more than 4.5 billion years ago. It stretches about 1.4 million kilometers across and has a surface temperature of 5,500 degrees Celsius.The researchers compared scientific data on the similar stars to historical records of the sun's activity. The records included about 400 years of observational data on sunspots. The researchers also studied about 9,000 years of data based on chemical element variants in tree rings and ice buildup tied to solar activity. These records show the sun has not been much more active than it is now.The researchers said increased magnetic activity related to sunspots can lead to electromagnetic events that affect Earth. For example, large releases of plasma—a collection of charged particles—from outer areas of the sun's atmosphere could cause problems for satellites and other communications equipment.The discovery may be good news for life on Earth. A much more active sun might have had more major effects on Earth's geology and ancient climate. "A 'too active' star would definitively change the conditions for life on the planet, so living with a quite boring star is not the worst option," Reinhold said.The findings, he noted, do not rule out the possibility that the sun may be in a quiet period and could become more variable in the future. However, the researchers say there are no signs that solar activity will be increasing any time soon.（1）According to Timo Reinhold, what causes the variability in brightness of the sun?A.Hydrogen and helium in the sun.B.The surface temperature of the sun.C.The diameter（直径）of the sun.D.Dark spots on its outer part.（2）Which of the following helped researchers prove the sun's inactivity?A.Scientific data of all the other stars.B.Data of sunspots observed in the past 400 years.C.9,000 years of data of the activities of the sun.D.Data of chemical element variants in icy trees.（3）What will probably happen if the sun becomes very active?A.There will be a decreased magnetic activity.B.The geology and climate of the Earth will be different.C.Satellites and other communications equipment will work better.D.People on the Earth have to live with the quite boring star.（4）What is the best title of this article?A.The sun: less active than similar starsB.The sun: less bright and intense than beforeC.Sun spots: a direct measure of solar activityD.Sun spots: the cause of electromagnetic events on Earth30. （10分）A． I didn't know Eva was interested in photography．B． There are a lot of photographers out there．C． You mean she's coming to the game， too？D． I just have to close the shop．E． It's time to go．Charley：Come on， Steve．（1）_______Steve： Wait a minute．（2）_______Charley： OK．Steve： By the way， can we give my sister a ride home tonight？Charley： Sure．（3）_______Steve： Yeah． She wants to take some pictures．Charley：（4）_______Steve： Yeah． She'd like to work for a newspaper some day．Charley： But I think it might be difficult for her to succeed．（5）_______五、书面表达（本题共计 1 小题，共计30分）31. （30分）假定你是李华，正在英国的一所学校做交换生，你校的中国画俱乐部（Chinese Painting Club）正在招收新成员。

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 me for the first time since the accident was frightening,but it was also necessary.4.What was the author's reaction at the driver's words?A.She almost burst with anger.B.She felt guilty for her daughter.C.She felt sympathy for him.D.She was choked with sorrow.5.What did the doctor suggest to Julia?A.Staying away from driving.B.Attending a driving lesson.C.Contacting the insurance agent.D.Retaking her routine activities.6.What did the author realize when Julia spoke on the phone?A.The driver took the blame for the accident.B.The accident had been worse than expected.C.Julia should overcome the fear to drive.D.Julia was smart to deal with any trouble.7.Why did the author cry at Julia's text?A.Julia was good at learning to drive.B.Julia recovered mentally and physically.C.Julia had supportive friends and parents.D.Julia could look after herself when driving.CAs summer comes,the promise of"working from anywhere"comes down to the discomfort of the sweaty 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。

AMaria Callas was born Maria Anna Sofia Cecilia Kalogeropoulus in New YorkCity in 1923. Her mother wanted her children to study music. Maria had a beautiful voice but she was very shy. Her mother forced her daughter to sing at contests and on radio programs. Maria won many top prizes, but she wasn’t very happy.Maria’s father did not want to pay for expensive music lessons. He and his wife argued. When Maria was 13, she moved to Greece with her mother and sister. Her mother lied about Maria’s age and got her into the Athens Conservatory. Maria studied hard for two years. She had no time for friends or fun.In 1939, Maria began to study with a world-famous Spanish opera singer, Elvira de Hidalgo. She changed Maria’s life. De Hidalgo taught her to sing and act. She also taught her how to fix her hair and choose beautiful clothes. Maria joined Greece’s National Opera at age 16 and took the stage name Maria Callas. At 17, she was a permanent member. She was the youngest person ever to join a European opera company.Soon Callas became an international star. Some called her the “Golden Voice of the Century.” She acted and sang with great emotion. Her style changed opera forever. In 1947, she joined La Scala, the leading opera house in Milan. By age 24, Callas was giving 50 performances a year. Some people said this was not good for her singing voice.Sadly, Callas was not happy. She argued with everyone and did not get along with other singers. She has a problem with her throat and started to lose her singing voice when she was only 35.

What will Tom probably do after sending the last email?A. Prepare the barbecue.B. Go to the pub.C. Have a rest.D. Call his friends.CIf you stand a short distance away from a high wall and shout, your voice sometimes comes back to you as an echo. This knowledge was made a few years before the last war, when radio waves from a transmitting (发送) station were reflected back from a distant airplane.It was realized that if an apparatus (装置) could be designed to send out radio waves all the time and record the echoes from any approaching airplanes, it would be a wonderful method of defense in war.Scientists set about solving the problem and radar was invented. An apparatus was made which sent out waves in pulses, and the presence of a distant airplane was shown on the screen (this is what we have in a television set). In this way radar station could detect the approach of enemy aircraft.After the war radar was put to peaceful uses. It is now installed at airports toguide airplanes down safely in fog. It is fitted to ships so that they are warned of obstructions (障碍物) ahead, such as icebergs. It guides ships into port. It provided airplanes and ships with a magic eye, with which they can see far into the distance, in the dark or in fog.28. What does “t he last war” in the first paragraph refer to?A. the World War IB. the World War IIC. The Oct. RevolutionD. the Chinese Liberation War29. For what purpose did scientists first invent radar?A. To help find their enemies.B. To guide ships into port.C. To send out sound waves.D. To help airplanes land safely.30. The invention of radar .A. has nothing to do with the reflection of sound waves.B. is exactly the same as the reflection of sound wavesC. is on the basis of the reflection of sound wavesD. is by changing sound waves into radio waves31. From the passage we may infer that radio waves can .A. only be reflected from airplanesB. be reflected from anything not far awayC. be reflected from almost everythingD. only be reflected from anything made of metalDWhen Matty Sallin was working on a degree in art and technology at New York University, he got an interesting assignment in electronics class: Create something for the household. He decided to create an alarm clock.“Everybody has to deal with these every day, and th ey are extremely unpleasant!" he says. He asked different people what they’d like to wake up to instead of a clanging, noisy alarm. A lot of them said, "The smell of bacon.”So Sallin and two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon rather than sound to wake someone up. He explains, “There’s no danger of burning, because it uses halogen light bulbs（卤素灯泡）instead of a flame for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes.”Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm.”“What you do is put a couple of frozen pieces of bacon in the night before,” says Sallin. “If you set the alarm for 8:00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the halogen bulbs,” he says. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the pig nose.“So instead of an alarm or a beep or a radio, you smell yourself awake,” s ays Sallin. “Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.”When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. “Iwanted to make an elevator in my back yard and a special tree house,” he says. “But I ne ver really thought I’d be called an inventor!”32. Why did Sallin choose to create a new alarm clock?A. His classmates had no alarm clocks.B. His alarm clock in use was out of fashion.C. Many people disliked the noisy alarm.D. Many people had difficulty in waking up.33. In what way is Sallin’s alarm clock special?A. It wakes people up with the smell of bacon.B. It warns people of the danger of burning.C. It can also be used as a lamp.D. It is very small in size.34. The pig nose on the alarm clock is used _______.A. to cook the baconB. to let the smell outC. to sound the alarmD. to blow the flame.35. What do we know about Sallin?A. He decides to make more alarm clocks.B. He has a special gift for clock designing.C. He has always dreamed of becoming an architect.D. He showed an interest in invention at an early age.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。
