高考英语名校模拟真题速递专题06七选五10篇(第一期)
备战2024年高考英语名校模拟真题速递()第一期专题06 七选五10篇（2024·浙江·统考模拟预测）When students get home, they usually sit down at the table and pull out their homework. Piles of papers rise all the way to the ceiling. American students should get less homework on a daily basis. 1Loads of homework can cause stress in a student and lead to health issues in the body and mind. Stress causes lack of sleep, slipping grades, tiredness, unhealthy eating habits, depression, and so on. Nervous breakdowns can make pleting homework much more of a struggle and also effect the health and life of a student.2 The remended amount is 10 minutes times the grade level. So first grade gets 10 minutes; second grade gets 20 minutes; third grade gets 30 minutes, and so on, but kids are doing much more than that. Twenty three percent of 13yearolds do more than 2 hours a night.3 There is no academic benefit for high school students after 2 hours and there are no academic benefits for middle school students after 1 and a half hours.Doing homework all night can take away a student’s free time and sleep. Always doing homework can lead to less time for sports and afterschool activities. 4 Worse still, hanging out with friends is decreased, so that means there is less socializing. Staying up late and doing homework takes away a student’s time to sleep. Not enough sleep can leave students tired, and at school they might focus less or fall asleep during class.Shouldn’t students get less homework so that they can be happy and have more time with family and friends?5 If teachers and parents tried to reduce the amount of homework, there would be a decrease in stress and anxiety and an increase in happiness!A．Lack of sleep can cause great stress.B．The more the students do, the less they get out of doing it.C．Administrators, teachers, and parents need to address this issue.D．Family time is also decreased, which can add more family conflict.E．Homeworkrelated anxiety and stress can affect school work negatively.F．Kids are doing more than the remended amount with no academic benefits.G．Anyway, too much homework can cause quite a few physical and mental problems.（2023·浙江·校联考模拟预测）Some people measure success by the wealth they’ve accumulated, or the status they’ve achieved. Yet, even though they’ve reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still feel something is missing from their life. Their soul may be searching for something more. 6 Although everyone is different, there are mon threads that bind a life with purpose.Live by your beliefs and values.People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities. They place significant value on being a person of virtue. 7 And they spend more time listening to their inner voice than being influenced by others.Follow your passion.People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with enthusiasm, put their heart into everything they do, and feel that they’re personally making a difference. As James Dean once said, “ 8 ”Feel content.People who live a life of purpose have an inner peace. They’re satisfied with what they have and who they are. 9 As the saying goes, “The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.”10People who live a life of purpose have a positive impact on someone else’s life. They are willing to help people in need and make their life better and happier. They gain as much satisfaction witnessing the success of others as witnessing their own.Without purpose, it’s easy to wander aimlessly through life instead of following your North Star. Without purpose, it’s easy to achieve remarkable success and still feel that life is passing you by.A．Make a difference.B．It’s the purpose of life.C．Put others before yourself.D．So they live with certain moral principles.E．The secret of success is constancy to purpose.F．Dream as if you’ll live forever and live as if you’ll die today.G．To them, the grass is greener on their own side of the fence.（2023·浙江绍兴·统考模拟预测）Who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger? Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. 11 They are also fast. They can sprint as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet horizontally. This makes for an extremely dangerous attack. You might not think that such large, fast, and ferocious creatures need help to survive, but they do. 12 Tigers are hunted for many reasons. People have long valued the famous striped skins. Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, they are worth around $10,000 on the blackmarket. 13 Many Asian cultures believe that various tiger parts have healing properties.14 However, perhaps more damage has been caused through the destruction of habitat. Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, but over the past 100 years, tigers have lost 93% of their historic range.A major obstacle to preserving tigers is the enormous amount of territory that each tiger requires. Each wild tiger demands between 200 and 300 square miles. Tigers are also both territorial and solitary (独居的) animals.15 Since tigers need so much territory, it is difficult for conservationists to acquire land enough to support a large population of tigers. Even when these considerable spaces are provided, it is even more difficult to move around such large areas to prevent the illegal hunting. There is no easy way to preserve the wild tiger population without making large sacrifices.A．The tiger is an endangered species.B．Restoring the world’s tiger population is possible.C．Other parts of the tiger can also fetch a pretty penny.D．That’s because tigers are the largest of all cat species.E．Traditional Chinese medicine use tiger bones in some prescriptions.F．This means they generally do not share with other tigers the areas they claim.G．Humans have done considerable damage to the tiger population through hunting.（2023·浙江台州·统考二模）You don’t need to be an astronomer with a giant telescope to enjoy a simple but spellbinding activity: stargazing. 16 It’s so interesting to discover what’s going on. With a bit of practice, and knowhow from books and websites, stargazers can spot particular stars and also groups of stars.There is plenty to take in using just your eyes but some people use a telescope for a more detailed look. For the best results, choose a clear night when the moon is not very bright. 17It can be harder to see the stars in towns and cities. It is because of light pollution. The night sky is brightened by light from street lamps, shops and car headlights. The best places for stargazing are open, hilly areas or the coast. 18 It is our home galaxy stretching across the night sky and is best seen in summer and fall evening skies. If the full moon is up, it will be hard to see. Try going for a night hike instead! Let your eyes adjust to the moonlight and keep your flashlight turned off.19 That is camping in a national park under a starfilled sky. Many national parks offer various night sky programs, from telescope astronomy events to full moon walks with rangers. Besides, national parks are also great places to know about the animals that are awake at night and asleep during the day. Sit quietly and listen for these creatures.When you head out at night, always go with an adult. Dress warmly and take a blanket or a chair to sit on, plus a hot drink to warm you up. You might want to take a camera with you as well, so you can take a photo if you see something amazing in the sky. A whole new world es alive at night and is waiting to be explored. 20A．Get prepared for the wonder above.B．Just go outside at night and look up.C．You are supposed to avoid the full moon.D．It also matters which direction you observe.E．In these places, you can look for the Milky Way.F．What is the better way to experience the great wonder?G．Where do you prefer to have a stargazing trip at night?（2023·浙江嘉兴·统考二模）Hilde’s father was a reporter.

Hilde wanted to cover big stories in her town. Following the rules her father had taught her, she researched and reported stories in her monthly newspaper.The newspaper suddenly became famous when a murder happened in the town, and Hilde was the first person to report it. Soon, news organizations around the country were doing stories on Hilde.22 Some people criticized her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder.Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter’’. Some people even suggested she should be playing with dolls. 23 She responded with a YouTube video.“I never began my newspaper so that people would think I was cute,” she said.“I want to be taken seriously.’’That wasn’t the last time Hilde had trouble getting people to take her seriously. Sometimes, it was because of her age. Other times, it was because she was a girl. 24 Hilde continued reporting and her activities as a reporter have made her famous.Now Hilde has published a book telling her own story and the challenges she has faced. Some of those challenges came from Hilde herself, struggling to figure out who she was as she grew older. 25 But she is still just 15, and has plenty of time to decide what she wants to do with her life.

Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. 26 These small changes in your everyday routine can have a big impact in the long run.Get eight hours of sleep.27 If we are lacking in sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure and glucose(血糖) levels. These factors can all have an impact on cardiovascular(心血管) health.Engage in volunteer work.Doing good for others helps your selfesteem and relieves stress. 28 We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health, and volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network. Depending on the type of work you do, volunteering might even increase your physical activity.29Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease.

With thousands of pieces there, how do you know which to focus on? And once you see a piece you like, how do you interact with it? Here is some advice onhow to have a meaningful connection when you look at art.Get up close and personal.46 Therefore, take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not e through on a puter screen. That includes its look and the feel of its surface, the marks made by the brush and the path your eyes take when viewing the work.Stand back. Next, take a few steps back, stand in the center — and observe what’s happening in the big picture. What’s going on in the piece? 47 What are they doing? How are they related?Look at it from an angle. Then try looking at an artwork from its sides, because you might catch something you might not have seen straight on. If it’s something like The Ambassadors by Holbein at The National Gallery in London, if you stand to the side, you’ll see something that from front on looks very different. 48 That’s called anamorphic art.Move your body. If you’re looking at a painting, you can take a finger to the air and trace the outline of the figure or the movement of the brushstrokes. 49 This can help you see and feel what it might be like to make this artwork from the artist’s perspective.Consider the subject of the art.That can have a profound effect on how you feel about the workand perhaps you can learn something from it. Take the example of Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting, Christina’s World, which depicts (描绘) a girl with a muscle disease crawling across a field to get to her home in the distance. The painting personifies (体现) determination. 50A．So just keep an open mind.B．What have they gone through?C．When you stand to the side, it changes.D．How are the figures in the piece arranged?E．We have the luxury of seeing the real thing at a museum.F．When looking at sculptures, try the poses with your body.G．It can in a way relieve your stress to know we have this inner strength.参考答案：1．G 2．F 3．B 4．D 5．C【导语】这是一篇说明文。

The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you can't control. So just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.Relax and make sure of the time spent with the language.Focus on words and phrases.Read what you are listening to.Chat with others in the language on the Internet.If you do want to learn the language, take control.The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn.

A year with a February 29 might be good news if you are paid by the day or the week. But it might be bad news if you were born on a February 29.____36____. American English has a term for the unusual situation. February 29 is called a leap day. And the entire 12-month period with a February 29 in it is called a leap year. This year, 2020, is such a year.In a leap year, the dates jump over one day of the week. Let me explain. In 2017, the last day of the year, December 31, fell on a Sunday. In 2018, it fell on a Monday. In 2019, it fell on a Tuesday. But in 2020, December 31 will fall on a Thursday.___37___.The reason for a leap day or a leap year is because our calendar does not follow the Earth's orbit around the sun exactly.___38___. So every fouryears, we put all that time together into an extra day —or, what is officially called an intercalary(闰) day."Leap" is also an important word for two other common American expressions.___39___. If you want someone to investigate a situation completely before taking action, you might say, "Look before you leap." The other expression is a phrase of hope. Urging someone to "take a leap of faith" means inviting the person to take action, even if not everything about a situation is known. Interestingly, both phrases are completely reasonable to say to someone who is about to get married. On that note, some people choose to marry on February 29 because it is an unusual date.___40___. Leap years were believed to be difficult, and leap days unlucky and a bad time to begin anything new. Whatever you think about them, the change in the calendar will be gone soon enough. Then we can return to normal, and leap over February 29 as usual.A. One is a kind of warning.B. That's why we called it a Leap YearC. It just leaped right over Wednesday.D. Each year, we have a little time left over.E. You have to wait three years in between birthdays!F. As a verb, the word "leap" means to jump, or to move quickly.G. Some ancient peoples would likely tell couples not to do it, however. 【答案】E C D A G9.Any exercise is good exercise, but when it comes to losing weight, it's hard to beat running. After all, running is one of the most efficient ways to burn calories and get fit without having to restrict your diet.31 If you're not a runner yet but interested in losing weight, here are four reasons running can be the best exercise for weight loss.32 When comparing running with walking the same distance, studies find that running will lead to greater weight loss, most likely because your resting energy expenditure stays elevated(高的) after you run. In a long-term comparison study of runners and walkers, calories burned through running led to 90% more weight loss than calories burned through walking.Running is time-efficient. Even if the myth that running a mile and walking a mile burn the same number of calories were true, running is a considerably faster way to burn those calories. 33Running is convenient. Though many of us have accumulated a vast arsenal(武器，装备) of GPS gadgets and tech tees over the years, little is actually required to go running. You can do it alone. You can do it almost anywhere. 34 For this reason alone, running is the best workout for weight loss because it's cheap and accessible, and there are fewer barriers to maintaining a routine, even while traveling.Twowords: runner's high. 35 Fortunately, studies support what many runners have experienced on an anecdotal level—running can actually get you high. Scientists have found links between moderate to intense exercise and morphine-like brain chemicals, which explains the occasional flood of thrill that rushes over you during a hardrun. That happy sensation you had after your last race makes you want to go for another run, right?A. Cultivate the good habit of running.B. Running works even when you're at rest.C. You will never stick to a habit if you don't like it.D. The first rule of exercising for weight loss is that if you don't enjoy it, you won't stick with it.E. You don't need any equipment beyond a pair of running shoes.F. If you're already a runner, keep on.G. Most people can run two or three times as far as they can walk in a given amount of time.答案：FBGED10Friendly people are welcoming. When you are friendly, you make other people feel good about themselves and you also feel more confident about yourself. 31 Being friendly doesn't have to mean changing who you are but doing little things to make others comfortable.___32__ If you are not friendly, you might feel embarrassed when you first try to be more welcoming with others. One way to learn to be friendly is to think of an outgoing person and copy his/her postures(姿势),words and behavior.Be kind to strangers. An easy way to be friendly is to offer a smile to people you might normally ignore. Every day there are opportunities to be friendly with strangers. ___33___.Try to accept others.___34__If someone new tries to chat with you, make an effort to contribute to the conversation instead of giving one-wordanswers. In a group, look out for one who doesn't seem to know anyone and try to accept him/her into the group.Stay in touch. Sometimes we neglect(忽视) to be friendly with those we know the best--- our close friends and family. ___35__Therefore, you can send a warm email too let your mother know that you are thinking about her.A. Observe friendliness in others.B. Smile and remember everyone's name.C. They may want to hang out, but be too shy to ask.D. So friendliness is a win-win no matter how you look at it.E. Don't pass up the chance to be warm and make others comfortable.F. Actually, offering friendliness and warmth to them is also very important.G. Making new people you meet feel accepted forms a large part of being friendly.答案：DAEGF。
