But the United Nations estimates that about half of these languages are in danger of disappearing.One non-profit organization seeking to save world languages is a New York-based group called Wikitongues. Officials from Wikitongues say the organization has a simple goal: to provide the tools and support that people need to save their languages.Udell is the co-founder of Wikitongues. He said when a language disappears, many other things can go away as well. For example, parts of a community's culture, knowledge and identity can also be lost. Because of this. Udell believes the process of bringing languages back must be done by community members themselves, "from the ground up," he said."There is no way an outside organization can save someone's language for them."Wikitongues was launched in 2016 as an open internet collection of world languages. The self-described "community" is operated by volunteers from around the world. The collection is in the form of language videos that people add to the Wikitongues website.There are currently more than 400 languages and dialects represented on Wikitongues' YouTube channel. Udell says more than 1, 500 people from 70 different countries have added videos to the system."We have people from India who record dozens of languages, which is beyond their own." he said.One of Wikitongues' volunteers is Kolokwe, who lives in Namibia. His native language is Subiya, however, he does not get the chance to speak his native language every day. Like many other educated people from his area, he speaks a lot of English and Afrikaans.Kolokwe is hoping his involvement with Wikitongues call help keep Subiya and other African languages from going extinct. He wants the world to know about his language. But his goal goes beyond just sharing his language with others through video. He is also working to create a dictionary and language teaching materials that can be used in schools.8.What is tile result of languages disappearing？A. People are uncertain about who they are.B. All the customs and beliefs are still existing.C. People can not communicate with each other.D. The community becomes more independent.9.Which of the following is true of Wikitongues?A. It was founded by the United Nations.B. Officials from it want to make money.C. It contributes to saving languages.D. 1500 languages are uploaded on its website.10.Why is Kolokwe involved in volunteering?A. He has no chance to speak his native language.B.

Parking spots．B. Parking rates．C. Busy neighborhoods．D. New algorithms．13.How does the new algorithm work？______A. Adopting different parking rates．B. Counting the apartments and offices．C. Making farther parking spots more expensive．D. Setting the price of parking spots with sensors．14.Which is the process of carrying out the smart pricing？______①Choosing a target city．②Counting the parking demand．③Dividing the city into zones．④Suggesting pricing for each zone．⑤Considering the parking supply．A. ②⑤④③①B. ①③②⑤④C. ②⑤①③④D. ①③④②⑤15.What will the public think of Benenson's smart pricing？______A. Supporting．B. Disapproving．C. Optimistic．D. Controversial．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）With 17 million residents and 23 million bicycles，the Netherlands already has more bikes than people．(1) ．The Dutch government recently announced that it will invest ﹩390 million in cyclinginfrastructure to get 200，000 more people commuting（通勤）by bike in threeyears'time．Fifteen routes will be developed into"cyclist freeways"，25，000 bike parkingspaces will be created and more than 60 bike storage facilities will be upgraded．" (2) ，"says Stientje van Veldhoven，state secretary for that department，who is spearheading the project．It's not that people aren't already cycling in the Netherlands．In 2016，over a quarter of all trips made by Dutch residents were by bike．But only 25% of those trips were work-related，compared to 37% which were made for leisure．(3) ．According to van Veldhoven，more than 50% of people in the Netherlands live less than 15 kilometers from work，and more than half of commuters'car trips are under 7.5 kilometers long-a distance that"can easily be covered by bike，"she says．(4) ．The Netherlands currently rewards commuting cyclists with tax credits of ﹩0.22 perkilometer．Companies and employees would agree on the distance of a person's cycling route．However，this is currently a little-known benefit not supported by many employers，according to the infrastructure ministry．That's something the government is hoping to change by better promoting the scheme and getting more companies on board．(5) ．The government is urging employers to provide better facilities for commuting cyclists，such as showers at the office，according to the ministry．A．The rest were for school，shopping，or other activitiesB．To get people to ditch their cars，money is being laid on the'tableC．Now，it wants to get even more cyclists on the roads-and will pay people to do it D．Today the Netherlands is known for its cycling culture，but that hasn't always been the case E．My ambition is to ensure that people can easily get to work or school，or visit family and friendsF．The Netherlands is now one of the few countries that takes cycling seriously as a mode of transportationG．There are already 11 major employers in the Netherlands committing to measures such as financing employees' bikes16.

Parking spots．B. Parking rates．C. Busy neighborhoods．D. New algorithms．13.How does the new algorithm work？______A. Adopting different parking rates．B. Counting the apartments and offices．C. Making farther parking spots more expensive．D. Setting the price of parking spots with sensors．14.Which is the process of carrying out the smart pricing？______①Choosing a target city．②Counting the parking demand．③Dividing the city into zones．④Suggesting pricing for each zone．⑤Considering the parking supply．A. ②⑤④③①B. ①③②⑤④C. ②⑤①③④D. ①③④②⑤15.What will the public think of Benenson's smart pricing？______A. Supporting．B. Disapproving．C. Optimistic．D.

The New York See It All Tour is exactly what it sounds like: an all﹣inclusive guided tourof New York City．Central ParkOne of the most famous parks in the world, Central Park is a man﹣made wonder． Not only is it the first public park built in America, but it is also one of the most frequently visited parks, with over 25 million guests per year． Set in the middle of busy Manhattan, its grounds serve as a safe harbor, not only for athletes, and musicians but also for lots of migratory birds each year． One can spend an entire peaceful day wandering itsgrounds, gazing upon nearly 50 fountains, monuments, and sculptures, or admiring its 36 bridges．Hudson River ParkHudson River Park is a waterside park on the Hudson River that extends from 59th Street south to Battery Park in the New York City district of Manhattan． Bicycle and pedestrian paths, including the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, span the park north tosouth, opening up the waterfront for the public to relax． The park includes tennis and soccer fields, children’s playground, dog run, and many other features．Washington Square ParkWashington Square, located in the heart of Greenwich Village, is a very popular and often crowded square． People from all backgrounds gather to this large square dotted with trees． Central Park ZooThe Central Park Zoo is a small 6.5﹣acre zoo located on Central Park in New YorkCity． The zoo began in the 1860s, making it the first official zoo to open in New York． The zoo was improved in 1934, with the addition of many new buildings ranged in a square around the sea lion pool． Finally, the zoo was repaired in the mid﹣1980s and reopened in 1988, replacing the old﹣fashioned cages with naturalistic environments．（1）Which park is set in the heart of Greenwich Village？________A.

There is a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble in The World． Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people． The UN understands this too ﹣ that is why it made November 16th “International Day for Tolerance”．But first, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, “Tolerance is the consequence of humanity． We are all formed of frailty （脆弱） and error; let us pardon each other’s fool ﹣ that is the first law of nature．”Very often, people do not realize that they are intolerant． This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance． For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males． But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men do not put themselves in the shoes of women．It is worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”． Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we are speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone is not necessarily a very respectful thing． When someone is tolerated, it implies that there is something wrong with them．Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share． That is the reason we should be tolerant． It is a little like generosity． We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness（1）What is the purpose of the UN “International Day for Tolerance”？________A. To celebrate the founding of the UN．B. To solve the problem of global warming．C. To change people’s opinion towards globalization．D. To arouse the awareness of tolerance among people．．（2）Why do men behave intolerantly towards women？________A. Because men do not realize the purpose of the UN．B. Because men are physically stronger than women．C. Because men are not willing to understand womenD. Because men do not appreciate the shoes of women．．（3）Why is it meaningless to use the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”？________A. Because they cannot be used in a respectful way．B. Because they are hard to pronounce in English．C. Because they cannot be translated into other languages．D. Because they do not express the exact meaning people refer to．．（4）In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”？________A. Humans tend to find faults in others．B. Humans need to give something to others．C. Humans are advised to treat others better．D. Humans change their attitudes towards others．【答案】DCDB【考点】新闻报道类阅读【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道类阅读，文章主要介绍了“国际宽容日”，联合国“国际宽容日”的目的是唤起人们对宽容的意识．【解答】（1）D．细节理解题．根据第一段中的Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people． The UN understands this too ﹣﹣﹣that’s why it made Nov 16th “International Day for Tolerance”．可知马利明白，世界上出现如此多问题的部分原因是人们之间缺乏宽容．联合国也理解这一点﹣﹣这就是为什么它把11月16日定为“国际宽容日”．由此可知，联合国“国际宽容日”的目的是唤起人们对宽容的意识．故选D．（2）C．推理判断题．根据第三段尾句But often， the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women．可知男性对女性不包容是因为他们不愿意设身处地的为女性着想，不愿意理解她们．即男人对女人的行为不宽容因为男人不愿意了解女人．故选C．（3）D．推理判断题．根据倒数第二段后三句“Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we’re speaking here To agree to be ‘tolerant’ of someone isn’t necessarily a very respectful thing． When someone is tolerated，it implies that there’s some thing wrong with them．”可知，对某人宽容并不一定是一件值得尊重的事情，某人如果被包容，就暗示着某人有问题，因此推断使用“宽容”或者“不宽容”是没有意义的，因为它们不能准确表达人们所指的意思．故选D．（4）B．推理判断题．根据最后一段最后两句It’s a little like generosity． We can give things to another person， and we can also give our forgiveness．可知人类需要给别人一些东西，“宽容”类似于“慷慨”．由此推断，在我们给与别人谅解时，宽容有点像慷慨．故选B．3. The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past． With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic （怀旧的）skill． However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful ﹣ both in school and in life．Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand．Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks ﹣ both on a computer and by hand． The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate．In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write．“Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts． It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas．” Berninger said．Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe （转换）“those words in t he mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen, ” the study said．Seeing the words in the “________” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot（发现） spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time．“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks, ” she said．“But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have t he knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer．”（1）What makes writing by hand a thing of the past？________A. The absence of blackboard in classroom．B. The use of new technologies in teaching．C. The lack of practice in handwriting．D. The popular use of smartphones．．（2）Which of the following best shows the role of spelling？________A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words．B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability．C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas．D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas．．（3）What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean？________A. Window．B. Soul．C. Picture．D. Imagination．．（4）What conclusion could be drawn from the passage？________A. Computers can help people with their choice of words．B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching．C. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms．D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade．【答案】BBDC【考点】议论文阅读社会文化类阅读【解析】本文主要讲述的是：随着现代科技的发展，书写渐渐被人们所忽视．但是Berninger的研究表明，书写在现代教学中应该占有一席之地，因为加强拼写有助于学生的发展．【解答】（1）B．细节理解题．根据第一段“With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone，writing by hand has become something of nostalgic （怀旧的）skill．”随着像电脑和智能手机的使用，书写已经成为了人们怀旧的东西．可知新技术在教学中的运用让手写成为过去．故答案选B．（2）B．细节理解题．根据第四段首句“In a more recent study，Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write．”可知在更近的一次研究中，Berninge想看看拼写在学生写作技巧中所发挥的什么作用，结果发现字写得好的孩子文章也写得好．故答案选B．（3）D．词义猜测题．根据第五段中“Seeing the words in the”mind’s eye“helps children not only to turn their ideas into words，but also to notice spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time．”可知用内心去看这些单词，不仅能帮助学生们将思想变成文字，而且也能注意到拼写的错误和正确的书写．联系本意：思想的眼睛则为想像之意．故选D．（4）C．主旨大意题．根据第一段特别是最后一句中“many believe handwriti ng skills are still necessary for students to be successful﹣﹣both in school and in life．”句意：有许多人相信写作技能在学校与生活中依然有必要学的．和文章的最后一段，首段说明随着新技术的到来，手写已经成为过去，之后文章中部提到手写的好处，最后一段进一步阐明书写的重要．故答案选C．4. The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full ﹣sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage． The change in how coffee is grown from shade﹣grown production to full﹣sun production endangers the very existence of certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the world’s ecological balance．On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full﹣sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals． The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species（物种） that depend on th e trees’ flowers and fruits． Full﹣sun coffee growersdestroy this forest home． As a result, many species are quickly dying out．On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full﹣sun coffee fields also threatens（威胁） human life． Medica l research often makes use of the forests’ plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases． In addition, new coffee﹣growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and even tually the world’s groundwater．Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full﹣sun coffee plantations（种植园）could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology． The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world’s climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen﹣giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming． Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic（酸性的） soil conditions．It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology． But consumers do have a choice． They can purchase shade﹣grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost． The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee．（1）What can we learn about full﹣sun coffee production from Paragraph 4？________A. It limits the spread of new growing techniques．B. It leads to air pollution and global warming．C. It slows down the loss of shade trees．D. It improves local soil conditions．．（2）The purpose of the text is to________．A. entertainB. advertiseC. instructD. persuade．（3）Where does this text probably come from？________A. An agricultural magazine．B. A medical journal．C. An engineering textbook．D. A tourist guide．．（4）Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text？________A.B.C.D.P： paragraph．【答案】BDAA【考点】政治经济类阅读议论文阅读【解析】本文章主要讲述了咖啡种植是一利润丰厚的产业．但是，这种需要充足阳光的咖啡种植给环境和生态造成了危害．对地方环境来说，阳光充足的咖啡种植破坏了森林，毁掉了动物鸟类的家园，从而导致一些物种的灭绝．就全球生态而言是有害的，因此，作为消费者，我们应该购买阴凉处种植的咖啡．虽然价格高点，但是对环境有益，还是值得的．【解答】（1）B．细节理解题．根据第四段…could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology．The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world’s climate，and studies show that loss of oxygen﹣giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming．Moreover，the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic（酸性的）soil conditions．可知，阳光充足的咖啡生产破坏了热带雨林的生态系统，导致空气污染，全球变暖，土壤酸化．可知，阳光充足的咖啡生产会造成空气污染和环境破坏，结合选项，故选B．（2）D．写作意图题．根据最后一段But consumers do have a choice．They can purchase shade﹣grown coffee whenever possible，although

AnxietyHas this ever happened to you？You’ve been studying hard for your midterm， but when you walk into your exam， your mind goes blank， your heart races fast， you get sweaty palms and find it hard to

your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised．（3）_______Some choose to ignore the problem，while others don’t review becausethey think they will do badly anyway and even miss

2020届淄博市第一中学高三英语一模试卷及答案解析
2020届淄博市第一中学高三英语一模试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhen the weather is bad or when the flu breaks out, we can let the kids do some fun things at home, which can be beneficial to kids.Reading out loudIf your children are young enough, don't forget to read books to them out loud! Few children dislikehaving a good book read to them, and it's great for the development of their brains. However, if your children are a bit older and have moved onto more advanced books, there is always the choice of listening to an audiobook. This can also be done while they're doing something else.Playing board gamesMaybe your children's table is full of board games, which have been forgotten for a long time. It's a good time to bring them out when playing outside is no longer a choice. Surely, playing board games is a great way to connect with children. In addition, many board games are designed to get children thinking!Having a dance partyConsidering that all you need is a speaker or maybe just a phone, you can have a dance party wherever you are! This is a great way to get kids’ bodies moving when they are inside. Play some of your children's favorite music and let them dance to it. Not only is it good exercise, but it will help your children feel time is flying!Doing jigsaw (拼图) puzzlesFor most people that have children, it's common to have at least one jigsaw puzzle at home. Jigsaw puzzles are great because everyone can do them on their own time. Besides, your whole family will have a sense of achievement when everyone is smiling over the finished product.1. What do reading out loud and playing board games have in common?A. They both develop children's team spirit.B. They both improve children's listening ability.C. They both do good to children's thinking ability.D. They both focus on interaction between children.2. Which of the following combines exercise and music?A. Reading out loud.B. Playing board games.C. Doing jigsaw puzzles.D. Having a dance party.3. What is the purpose of the text?A. To list four interesting children's parties.B. To recommend four children's favorite books.C. To introduce some activities for children inside.D. To show some funny things for children outside.BIn the natural habitat, a binge-watcher is a strange sub-species of modern human beings. They are alone and are often found lying on their bed or sofa, still as a rock, looking searchingly into their laptop or at the TV. They rarely get up, only taking occasional breaks for those urgent calls of nature. Unlike so many others of their species, they don’t sleep at the end of every day. They stay up late and are often found to have red eyes.This, of course, is a little bit exaggerated, but for many of us, binge-watching a show is how we consume our entertainment. With streaming services bringing seemingly endless content to the tips of our finger, creatorstailortheir shows to our needs and tastes, while their marketing team sells it to us as the next most bingeable show. I can’t help but wonder if this way of consuming television does us any good.We’re advised to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day, but staying up all night to finish shows like ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘The Fall’, which Netflix says are binged the fastest, won’t result in 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Netflix’s CEO Richard Hastings told analysts at a conference, “Think about it… when you watch a show from Netflix and you get addicted to it, you stay up late at night. We’re competing with sleep.” And it isn’t only the amount of sleep we get; the quality matters too! A study published in the Journal for Clinical Sleep Medicine reported that those who binged television more often were found to have poorer sleep quality. The mental arousal we get from watching TV doesn’t lend itself to peaceful sleep.Besides, binging TV can cause weight gain. For every extra hour of TV watched, there was a 2% increase in the prevalence of obesity, according to a study conducted by Harvard that linked TV watching to obesity in children and adolescents.While it is true that there’s growing evidence that binging isn’t good for us, the results aren’t all hopeless. Binging, occasionally, might have some benefits. For many people, binging is a good way to socialize. It gives people something to talk about at parties and with their friends. Fans of popular shows often hold viewing parties where people can binge-watch shows together and then discuss what they just experienced! This interaction cancreate a sense of community for many.For others, binging might just be relaxing. After a long day, a few hours of Friends—still one of the most popular shows on any streaming platform—can ease the stress of a long day. A study followed 240 people through their binging and recorded their stress hormones. They noted for some people that their stress hormone levels decreased during their binging experience.With binging, there is not a “good” or “bad” answer. Like many things, the key is moderation. Watching TV can be relaxing, but only if it doesn’t stop you from exercising, taking care of your health, and fulfilling your social responsibilities.4. What does the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Study.B. Sell.C. Adjust.D. Promote.5. What can we learn from the passage?A. The amount of sleep matters more than the quality.B. There’s no real harm in binge-watching a TV series.C. Binging may help keep stress hormone levels stable.D. Binge-watching may help increase social connections.6. What is the author’s attitude towards binge-watching?A. Supportive.B. Unconcerned.C. ObjectiveD. Doubtful.7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Who Is to Blame for Binge-Watching?B. Is Binge-Watching Good or Bad for You?C. Is Binge-Watching Getting out of Control?D. HowDoes Binge-Watching Affect Your Life?CWe all use different ways to remember ideas, facts and things we need to store. Remembering is an extremely important part of our learning experience. Information process, storage and recall encourage purposeful learning.But the brain doesn’t store everything we want or need for future use. It makes choices and tends to remember information that forms a memorable pattern. Things you learned recently can be particularly difficult toremember because they haven’t taken root in your mind.“Forgetting allows us to remember what is really important to our survival. We forget much of what we read, watch, and think directly every day.” writes John Medina in his book, Brain Rules.How do you avoid losing 90%of what you’ve learned? An inspiring writer and speaker Zig Ziglar once said: “Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”Repetition has been a remembering skill for ages. When you hear or read something once，you don’t really learn it-at least not well enough to store the new information for long. The right kind of repetition can do wonders for your memory. People learn or remember better by repeating things or getting exposed to information many times. Othersrepeat particular steps or processes deliberately a number of times or even years to become better at certain skills.Daniel Coyle explains in his book, The Little Book of Talent:“...closing the book and writing a summary, even short ones, forces you to figure out the key points, process and organize those ideas so they make sense, and write them on the page. When you pick it back up weeks later, reread all of your notes or highlights to strengthen the ideas even further.”People learn by repeating things. Better learning is a repetition process. Every time we repetitively access something we already know, we increase the memory’s stored value.8. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The brain tends to store 90% of the things we learn.B. The fresher the information isthe easier to remember.C. Thinking is more important than remembering in study.D. The brain tends to choose and keep what it thinks important.9. How does the writer prove his opinion?A.By giving examples.B. By listing numbers.C. By borrowing words of experts.D. By providing scientific finding.10. What does Daniel Coyle want to say in his book?A. You can’t pay too much attention to repetition.B. Summarizing is a very effective learning tool.C. Forgetting forces human brain to make choices.D. Regular repetition helps to form good habits.11. Which do you think is the best title of the passage?A. How the Brain WorksB. Reading for MoreC. Fighting Against ForgettingD. Repeat to RememberDThursday, two Russian submarines(潜艇) dived down 2.5 miles into the Arctic Ocean and planted a national flag onto a piece of continental shelf known as the Lomonosov Ridge. Rising from the center of the Arctic Basin, the flag sent a clear message to the surrounding nations: Russia had just laid claim(权利) to the vast oil and gas reserves contained in this underwater area.AfterRussia, theUnited States,Norway,SwedenandFinlandare all trying to gain profit. Projections show that the area of land and sea that falls within theArctic Circleis home to an estimated 90 billion barrels of oil, an incredible 13% of Earth’s reserves. It’s also estimated to contain almost a quarter of untapped global gas resources. But long before this oil race began, how did theArcticbecome so rich in energy?“The first thing you realize is that theArctic—unlike the Antarctic—is an ocean surrounded by continents”, Alastair Fraser, a geoscientist from Imperial College London, said. Firstly, this means there’s a huge quantity of organic material available, in the form of dead sea creatures such as plankton and algae, which form the basis of what will ultimately become oil and gas. Secondly, the surrounding ring of continents means that the Arctic Basin contains a high proportion of continental crust(大陆地壳), which makes up about 50% of its oceanic area. That’s significant because continental crust typically contains deep depressions called basins, into which organic matter sinks.Here, it gets inserted in rock and preserved in anoxic(缺氧) waters, meaning they contain little oxygen. “Normally, in a shallow sea with lots of oxygen, it would not be preserved. But if the sea is deep enough, the oxygenated waters at the top will be separated from the anoxic conditions at the base,” Fraser explained. Conserved within these oxygen-free basins, the matter maintains compounds that finally make it useful as an energy source for millions of years in the future.12. Why didRussiaplant a national flag onto the Lomonosov Ridge?A. To tell surrounding countries its armed forces.B. To show its advanced technology of submarines.C. To show abundant natural resources in theArcticBasin.D. To claim its privilege to explore for oil and gas in the area.13. What’s the function of the last sentence in paragraph 2?A. Making a comparison.B. Serving as a connecting link.C. Analyzing the cause and effect.D. Drawing the conclusion of the text.14. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Oxygen only exists in the top part of the ocean.B. Organic materials mostly exist in the basins with oxygen.C. Water containing oxygen turns organic materials into oil and gas.D. Oxygen-free environment counts in the formation of the arctic’s rich energy.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. What makes theArcticattractive?B. Why do many nations focus on theArctic?C. Why is there so much oil in theArctic?D. How does theArcticBasincome into being?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2020届淄博市临淄中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案
2020届淄博市临淄中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe history ofpop art begins with abstract art. Pop art emerged from the foundation of abstract art in the 1950s, first gaining recognition in Great Britain, then establishing itself in the United States in the 1960s.In the 1930s and 1940s, abstract art was greatly popular, but people began to hate this art form. Most abstract art produced in this era could be found in art galleries or the homes of the elite(名流), not in the homes of everyday people. Pop art sprung onto the scene as the people's art.Some art critics say pop art is a rebellion against abstract art; others say it is an extension of abstract art. You can see elements of abstract art in many pop art prints, especially those that consist of a collage（拼贴画）of images. However, some pop art pieces have nothing to do with abstract art, looking more like a photo of a popular consumer item, which impressed people deeply.Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi were two of the first contemporary pop art pioneers recognised in Great Britain. They were a part of the Independent Group, an organised group of British artists who wanted to challenge ruling modernist approaches to culture. They recognised the value of modern advertising and comic book images. They used these popular images in art as a social commentary, often building irony and humour into their artworks, thus creating a new form of art. These pieces were mass-produced and sold at affordable prices.When pop art took off in the United States, it expanded to include a celebration of kitsch and the common images found in movies and television. Andy Wharhol is perhaps the most famous American pop art artist, known for his prints of the actress Marilyn Monroe, the singer Elvis Presley and of Campbell's soup cans. Andy Wharhol was inspired by images from advertisements and common consumer items. He also made a series of paintings which showed images of car accidents.1. Why did people dislike abstract art?A. People found it hard to understand.B. Ordinary people couldn't afford it.C. People disliked enjoying it in galleries.D. It wasn't based on everyday life.2. What impression do pop art works leave on people?A. They are a rebellion against abstract art.B. They have many elements of abstract art.C. They are created so real.D. They are products of advertisers.3. The Independent Group was set up to ________.A. introduce a new art form to the worldB. develop modern advertising furtherC. create new comic book imagesD. make British culture better knownBIn Australia, plenty of wild things can bite or sting(刺伤) you. Strangely enough, one of them is a tree. Now scientists have figured out what makes the tree’s sting so bad.The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people callit the gympie-gympie tree—a name given to the tree by native Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you touch a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months.Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes this stinging plant so painful. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain.The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked(舔) at the places where they’d been injected, indicating that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemicals very stable, which helps explain why the pain stays so long.The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and cone snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all using similar poisons. Spiders and cone snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons (small s of the kangaroo) are able to eat the plant without trouble.4. Why is a touch on the stinging tree unforgettable?A. Because it has so unusual an appearance.B. Because it is extremely rare in existence.C. Because touching it creates a quite strange feeling.D. Because the pain caused by it doesn’t go away quickly.5. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree?A. How it produces poisons.B. What poisons it produces.C. How it benefits from the sting.D. The consequences of its sting.6. What does the text imply about the stinging tree?A. It produces the same poisons as spiders.B. Poisonous as it is, it also has natural enemies.C. Animals are wise enough to stay away from it.D. Only one chemical in it causes pain to the toucher.7. What’s the best title for the text?A. Scientists Discover Stinging Tree's SecretB. Caution: Stinging Tree Can Bite and Poison YouC. Scientists Discover a Strange Species in AustraliaD. Effective Ways to Avoid Being Hurt by Stinging TreeCThe mass death of flying foxes in extreme heat in North Queensland last month underlines the importance ofUniversityofQueenslandwildliferesearch released today.The UQ research sheds light on how various species have responded to major climate events.A study led by UQ School of Earth and Environmental Science researcher Dr Sean Maxwell has spent more than 70 years quantifying the responses of various species.“The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as cyclones, droughts and floods is causing unpredictable and immediate changes to ecosystems and blocking existing management efforts,” Dr Maxwell said.“Some of the negative responses we found were quite concerning, including more than 100 cases of dramatic population declines and 31 cases of local population extinction following an extreme event.”"Populations of critically endangered bird species inHawaii, such as the palia, have been annihilated due to drought, leaving none of its kind, and populations of lizard species have been wiped out due to cyclones in theBahamas."Cyclones were the most common extreme event for birds, fish, plants and reptiles, while mammals and amphibians were most responsive to drought events, with drought leading to 12 cases of major population decline in mammals.Drought also led to 13 cases of breeding declines in bird populations and 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate communities.UQ Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science director Professor James Watson said the detailed information would help inform ecosystem management.“The research clearly shows species will respond, often negatively, to extreme events,” Professor Watsonsaid.“As climate change continues to ensure extreme climate and weather events are more and more common,we now need to act to ensure species have the best chance to survive.Wherever possible, high quality and intact habitat areas should be retained, as these are the places where species are most resilient(易恢复的) to increasing exposure to extreme events.”8. How was the UQ researchconducted?A. By observing extreme weather events.B. By protecting the endangered species.C. By recording reactions of animals to extreme climate.D. By analyzing the reason whymass animal death happened.9. What does the underlined word “annihilated” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. destroyedB. defeatedC. decreasedD. disappeared10. Which of the following sentences is true about extreme weather events?A. Drought caused 13 cases of distinctionin bird populations.B. Drought caused 12 cases of population decline in mammals.C. Birds and mammals are most responsive to cyclones.D. Cyclones wiped out populations of lizard.11. What can we infer from Professor Watson’s words?A. Animals often show negative responses to extreme events.B. The existing management ways for wildlife protection are limited.C. Different methods should be adopted to ensure the survival of different species.D. Complete and undamaged habitats are of great importance to species’ survival.DSonja Redding and her family were on their way home to Omaha, Nebraska, after a weeklong visit to Washington, D. C. with her two sons, one of whom, 5-year-old Xayvior, has autism(自闭症).Although all of the other flights had gone fine, Xayvior became angry during one of the flights, and Redding couldn’t calm him.“It felt like everyone on the plane was looking at us and got angry with my son, ” she wrote in a Facebook post after she got home. “I don’t know what to do when others just don’t understand that he is not just a kid with no discipline(自制力)，but a child with special needs who doesn’t know how to control himself.”The day was saved by Delta flight attendant(空乘人员)Amanda Amburgy. She tried to help Xayvior watch a movie, but when that failed, she offered to take him on a tour of the airplane.That worked, and soon the child was not only calm, but having a good time.“When they came back, Xayvior was much calmer and happier,” wrote Redding in the post，which now has 2,700 likes and over 500 shares. “I want to thank this Delta attendant. She didn’t judge, and she just showed love. We need more people like this in the world. ”It wasn’t long before Amburgy was told about the post.“ We’re there to help, and that’s what we want to do,” she said in an interview. “So, we always want to make anything easier for the family as well as other passengers.”She also shared what she felt when she read Redding’s story. “When I read it, it touched my heart.

2020届淄博市临淄中学高三英语一模试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AGetting your kid to bed at night is seriously one of the most challenging things you'll ever have to do. Most kids are just so full of energy that they'll tire you out before they're halfway through their store of energy. An easy thing to calm down your child to get into bed is giving in and allowing some iPad screen time. However, it's really not a great idea, just like you thought.Researchers at theArizonaStateUniversityconducted a study with 547 kids between the ages of 7 to 9. Their parents tracked how much screen time the kids were allowed along with their sleep patterns. The study found that kids who did not engage in screen time before bed slept for 23 more minutes every week and also went to sleep about 34 minutes earlier than those playing with iPad. Although that might not seem like so much more time, quality of sleep is vastly important in Children's development.The CDC's (美国疾病控制中心)2018 National Youth Risk Survey outlines that good quality sleep can impact a child's life in many ways, including affecting grades and also weight gain. Students with an "A" average slept for 30 or more minutes per night than those with a "D" or"F" average.A 2018PennsylvaniaStateUniversitystudy showed that children with irregular bedtimes had a higher risk of having increased body weight. Those with consistent and age-appropriate bedtimes when they were 9 years old had a healthier BMI (体质指数)at age 15 than those with irregular bedtimes.Hard as it is, it's really important not to give in and hand over an iPad to your child who is about to go to bed. Just like it's important for adults to go to sleep without any distractions, it's even more important for kids.1. What do the findings of the researchers at theArizonaStateUniversitysuggest?A. More sleep is necessary for children's development.B. Enough sleep helps improve academic performances.C. Screen time before bed leads to later and less sleep.D. Children sleeping irregularly are easy to gain weight.2. What is the text mainly about?A. How is screen time affecting teenagers?B. What are negative effects of irregular bedtimes?C. When should you get your kid to bed at night?D. Why is screen time before bed a bad idea for kids?3. Who is the text intended for?A. Parents.B. Children.C. Teachers.D. Researchers.BFirst grader Gavin Clampett was diagnosed(诊断) with Tourette’s Syndrome at the age of five. Due to the neurological(神经的) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. In an effort to prevent the unkind comments, Gavin’s mother, 32yearold Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn, nine, and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.In the video, which Rebecca also shared on YouTube, Gavin’s sister Brynn starts by answering the question “What is Tourette’s Syndrome?” She explains, “It is a neurological disorder, which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements. These are called tics(抽搐), but not like a tic that is found outside. These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable, quiet or loud.”School can be hard for all kids. That canbe even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day. “I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourette’s Syndrome are brave. So be kind to them and don’t treat them differently because they are just like you”, Brynn says in the video.Gavin concludes, “Everyone could play with someone. Some people think I can’t because I’m different but actually I can. Some are afraid that I will say dirty words, but actually I won’t. The disease bothers me a little, but I’m OK.”4. What can we know about Tourette’s Syndrome?A. It can be treated with drugs.B. It is usually found at an early age.C. People with it will say dirty words.D. People with it can make uncontrolled sounds.5. Because of the disease, others often _________.A. take pity on GavinB. give a hand to GavinC. keep away from GavinD. look down upon Gavin6. In the video, Gavin’s sister __________.A. explains her brother’s diseaseB. expresses her love for her brotherC. complains about unkind commentsD. encourages others to donate money7. What can be used to best describe Gavin?A. Lucky.B. Helpless.C. Optimistic.D. Stubborn.CEven as Google plans to test its fleet (车队) of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains abit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.“Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people,” said Chris Urmson, director of Google’s self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google’s headquarters inMountain View,California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator (油门) or brake pedal. “Our software and sensors do all the work,” Urmson said. “The vehicles will be very basic — we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible — but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button.” The prototype (雏形) is the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads — the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error — and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can’t drive because of age or illness.Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don’t own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, includingDelphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerators and brake pedals to allow “safety drivers” to take control if needed.8. According to Chris Urmson, __________.A. self-driving cars can give driving orders to humansB. self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderlyC. software and sensors are vital for self-driving carsD. ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars9. Paragraph 4 is meant to tell us that __________.A. many traffic accidents are caused by human errorB. some people can’t drive because of illness or ageC. Urmson has promised to create safer roads in the futureD. self-driving cars will probably help to make safer roads and decrease traffic jams10. The underlined word “issued” in the last paragraph can probably bereplaced by__________.A. givenB. claimedC. awardedD. prohibited11. What’s the author’s attitude towards self-driving cars?A. Objective.B. Indifferent.C. Subjective.D. Favorable.DJIANLI, Hubei Province, June 2 (Xinhua) — A cruise ship carrying more than 450 people sank in the Yangtze River overnight, which could be China’s worst sinking disaster in decades. As of 6 p.m. Tuesday, 14 peoplehad been rescued from the capsized vessel, with five others confirmed dead. The rest are still missing, although rescuers said there could be more survivors. Strong winds and heavy rain are hampering rescue efforts.The Eastern Star sank in only 15 meters of water “within one or two minutes” of being caught in freak weather in Jianli, according to the ship’s captain and chief engineer who survived the incident. The ship left the eastern Chinese city ofNanjingon May 28 bound forChongqingMunicipality.The ship was carrying 403 passengers, five tour guides, and 46 crew, rather than the previously reported 47. Most passengers were tourists fromShanghaiand its neighboringprovinceofJiangsu, aged between 3 and 83, with most in their 60s and 70s.The 76.5-meter-long and 11-meter-wide vessel has been in service for nearly 20 years and can carry up to 534 people. It is owned by Chongqing Dongfang Shipping. Waterway officials said they have no record of the company being involved in any previous sinking incidents.According to weather forecast, most of the Yangtze basin will be subject to downpours over the next 10 days, with heavy rain expected in the area where the search is underway.Police, waterway authorities and fire departments have sent more than 150 boats and over 4,000 personnel to the scene. The Chinese Navy has sent diving forces to search for the missing. The team is composed of soldiers from the navy’s fleets in the North Sea, East China Sea, andSouth China Sea, as well as students of the Naval University of Engineering. In addition, five helicopters were dispatched fromBeijingandHubei’s provincial capital ofWuhanon Tuesday morning, along with an IL-76 transport plane.12. We can infer from the text that ________.A. the incident was very suddenB. the weather benefited the rescueC. the ship had bad safety recordsD. the ship’s captain was drowned13. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Eastern Star?A. It was overloaded.B. It’s been launched recently.C. It had 454 people on board.D. Its owner met similar incidents.14. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. How people came to the rescue.B. Why the rescue was quite difficult.C. What the rescue force consisted of.D. How the rescue operation went on.15.

2020年淄博市临淄中学高三英语一模试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AAre you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids to? Try some of these places.★Visit art museums.They offer a variety of activities to excite your kids' interest. Many offer workshops for making hand-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings by children's favorite writer, and even musical performances and other arts.★Head to a natural history museum.This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur(恐龙) models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special events that are coming up.★Go to a Youtheater.Look for one in your area offering plays for child and family visitors.Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts Puppet(木偶)making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.★Tryhands-on science.Visit one of the many hands-on science museums aroundthe country.These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups alike. They'll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building. When everyone is tired, enjoy a fun family science show, commonly found in these museums.1.If a child is interested in the universe, he probably will visit _____.A.a YoutheaterB.an art museumC.a hands-on science museumD.a natural history museum2.What does "hands-on science" mean in the last paragraph?A.Science games designed by kids.B.Learning science by doing things.C.A show of kids' science work.D.Reading science books.3.Where does this text probably come from?A.A museum guide.B.A tourist map.C.A science textbook.D.A news report.BA PhD student inMichigandefended her paper while wearing a skirt madeof rejection letters she receivedwhile studying. 29-year-old Caitlin Kirby printed out 17 of her rejection letters — from scholarships, academic journals, and conferences — then folded each one into a fan. She connected them in rows, and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of reminded me that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said. "A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth and environmental science atMichiganStateUniversity, also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for students to get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling of rejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academic journal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things: Since her doctorate, she's won a scholarship to do further research on urban agriculture inGermany.Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As for what the future holds? "I'm prepared to receive a few more rejection letters along the way," she joked heartily, "Maybe I'll make a longer skirt."4. What can we learn about Caitlin Kirby's rejection letters?A. She received 17 rejections in total.B. 29 of her rejections were from journals.C. The rejections were connected into a fan.D. She made some rejection letters into a skirt.5. What is Julie Libarkin's attitude towards Caitlin's action?A. Favorable.B. Ambiguous.C. Skeptical.D. Opposed.6. Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?A. Creative and considerate.B. Caring and determined.C. Optimistic and humorous.D. Generous and intelligent.7. Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?A. Hard work pays off.B. Education is the entrance to success.C. Self-respect earns more respect.D. One needs to normalize failures.CIt’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Scott Kelly said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer.Scott spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station (ISS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to describe and that the fluids(积水) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Scott said.He discussed life aboard including spending time with Russian astronauts. They came from different cultures. He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.Though life there was not easy, Scott never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussed experiences growing up, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination.“Never give up or lower your dreams. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard, you’ll find it really rewarding,” Scott said in the end.8. Scott mentioned his experience in the ISS mainly to show ________.A. he enjoyed making speechesB. he was a responsible astronautC. his life in space was challengingD. the daily life of an astronaut can be boring9. What may benefit Scott most when he lived with Russian astronauts?A. He won some awards through teamwork.B. He found the fun of living in the Space Station.C. He learned to develop close relationships with others.D. He picked up some knowledge of Russian culture.10. Which of the following can best describe Scott?A. Kind and thoughtful.B. Curious and humorous.C. Easygoing and sociable.D. Hardworking and determined.11. What does the author intend to tell us from Scott’s story?A. It’s importantto have a dreamB. Easy things are also worth doingC. A suitable career leads one to success.D. Difficult things are demanding but rewardingDIt might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?”Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible.Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic. Millions of people watch late-night television programs live, and videos of these shows get millions of views on streaming services. In 2016, a vote conducted by the University of Delaware Center indicated that nearly one in 10 said they learned about science from late-night television shows.Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-night television could spark science engagement. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that satirical shows had the biggest impact among the least educated viewers, thus helping to narrow a gap in attention to science. Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge.12. What does Paul’s studies of joking about science indicate?A. It may do serious damage to science.B. It can effectively popularize science.C. It totally changes people’s attitude to science.D. It will shift people’s attention from entertainment to science.13. Why do TV watchers receive a little science information?A. Because they enjoy watching entertainments.B. Because science is not easy to come up with.C. Because they find no interest in science issues.D. Because science is scarcely seen on mainstream media.14. What do we know about the late-night shows involving science?A. The hosts get used to playing tricks on scientists.B. The hosts’ aim is to build a positive image of science.C. Education gap can be bridged through late-night shows.D. Science participation can be promoted among their viewers.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards combining science with satire?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Positive.D. Negative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
