湖南省2021届高考英语试卷和答案解析(新2021届高考Ⅰ)
2021年湖南省高考英语试卷（新高考Ⅰ）ARome can be pricey for travelers,which is why many choose to stay in a hostel（旅社）.The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around ＄25 a night,and for that,you'll often get to stay in a central location （位置）with security and comfort.Yellow HostelIf I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome,it would be Yellow Hostel.It's one of the best-rated hostels in the city,and for good reason.It's affordable,and it's got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy.As an added bonus,it's close to the main train station.Hostel Alessandro PalaceIf you love social hostels,this is the best hostel for you in Rome.Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun.Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots,bar crawls and karaoke.There's also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.Youth Station HostelIf you're looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel,look no further than Youth Station.It offers beautiful furnishings and beds.There are plenty of other benefits,too；it doesn't charge city tax；it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms；it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.Hotel and Hostel Des ArtistesHotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it's close to all of the city's main attractions.The staff is friendly and helpful,providing you with a map of the city when you arrive,and offering advice if you require some.However,you need to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.1. What is probably the major concern of travelers who choose to stay in a hostel？______A. Comfort.B. Security.C. Price.D. Location.2. Which hotel best suits people who enjoy an active social life？______A. Yellow Hostel.B. Hostel Alessandro Palace.C. Youth Station Hostel.D. Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes.3.

"I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for thepast four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage."A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot." Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand," Mr Titterton said, "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage."My husband is the worst page turner," she laughed. "He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."4. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? ______A. Read music.B. Play the piano.C. Sing songs.D. Fix the instruments.5. Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage? ______A. Boring.B. Well-paid.C. Demanding.D. Dangerous.6. What does Titterton need to practise? ______A. Counting the pages.B. Recognizing the "nodding".C. Catching falling objects.D. Performing in his own style.7. Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worse page turner"? ______A. He has very poor eyesight.B. He ignores the audience.C. He has no interest in music.D. He forgets to do his job.CWhen the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America,the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately,it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimatea large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl（水禽）were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations,greatly reducing waterfowl habitat （栖息地）.In 1934，with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act （Act），an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory （迁徙的）waterfowl and the wetlands so vitalto their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. "Ding" Darling,a political cartoonist from Des Moines,Iowa,who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System- a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934，better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.8. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America？A. Loss of wetlands.B. Popularity of water sports.C. Pollution of rivers.D. Arrival of other wild animals.9. What does the underlined word "decimate" mean in the first paragraph？A. Acquire.B. Export.C. Destroy.D. Distribute.10. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934？A. The stamp price has gone down.B. The migratory birds have flown away.C. The hunters have stopped hunting.D. The government has collected money.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？A. The Federal Duck Stamp StoryB. The National Wildlife Refuge SystemC. The Benefits of Saving WaterfowlD. The History of Migratory Bird HuntingDPopularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and "people skills". Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionallyintelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.12. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by an IQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person's mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person's positive qualities.13. Why does the author mention "doctor" and "cheater" in Paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.14. What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.

thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going．When the world was still populated by hunter﹣gatherers，small，tightly knit （联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other．Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them．Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number．In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nation﹣state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation andbetter communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over．At present，the world has about 6，800 languages．The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven．The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people，while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers．Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1，000；Africa 2，400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800．The median number （中位数）of speakers is a mere 6，000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that．Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction （消亡），with only a few elderly speakers left．Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon （eight remaining speakers），Chiapaneco in Mexico （150），Lipan Apache in the United States （two or three）or Wadjigu in Australia （one，with a question﹣mark）：none of these seems to have much chance of survival．（1）What can we infer about languages in hunter﹣gatherer times？A．They developed very fast．B．They were large in number．C．They had similar patterns．D．They were closely connected．（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex．B．Advanced．C．Powerful．D．Modern．（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present？A．About 6，800．B．About 3，400．C．About 2，400．D．About 1，200．（4）What is the main idea of the text？A．New languages will be created．B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages．C．Human development results in fewer languages．D．Geography determines language evolution．14．（8.00分）DWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new，but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices （装置）well after they go out of style．That's bad news for the environment ﹣and our wallets ﹣as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things．To figure out how much power these devices are using，Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life ﹣from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device．This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s．Devices were grouped by generation．Desktop computers，basic mobile phones，and box﹣set TVs defined 1992．Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997．And MP3 players，smart phones，and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002，before tablets and e﹣readers showed up in 2007．As we accumulated more devices，however，we didn't throw out our old ones．"The living﹣room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room，and suddenly one day，you have a TV in every room of the house，" said one researcher．The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007．We're not just keeping these old devices﹣we continue touse them．According to the analysis of Babbitt's team，old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions （排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window．So what's the solution（解决方案）？The team's data only went up to 2007，but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function，such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing．They found that more on﹣demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%．（1）What does the author think of new devices？A．They are environment﹣friendly．B．They are no better than the old．C．They cost more to use at home．D．They go out of style quickly．（2）Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research？A．To reduce the cost of minerals．B．To test the life cycle of a product．C．To update consumers on new technology．D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices．（3）Which of the following uses the least energy？A．The box﹣set TV．B．The tablet．C．The LCD TV．D．The desktop computer．（4）What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices？A．Stop using them．B．Take them apart．C．Upgrade them．D．Recycle them．第二节（毎小题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.选项中有两项为多余选项。
