ATheaters of the PastThe Greek TheaterTheaters developed in many parts of Greece. Ancient Greek theaters were built in natural open air sites on conveniently shaped hills. This allowed a great mass of people to enjoy a show at a time. Due to this, actors placed emphasis on exaggerated(夸张的) action and speech. And, colorful symbolic masks and costumes were used.The Medieval TheaterThe Medieval theater started in churches. That’s why medieval plays were about Bible stories. At first, it became a custom for priests ( 牧师 ) to act out brief scenes during Christmas and Easter. These acts attracted large crowds. Finally the church refused to allow priests to participate in any such events again, so ordinary people began these performances outside. Performances were set in the town square, with several stage settings around it.The Elizabethan TheaterThe England’s theater developed rapidly in the years following the defeat of the Spanish Navy. The dominant feature of Elizabethan theater was the stage, It has three parts : The fore stage for outside scenes ; the inner stage for scenes inside a building; an upper stage or balcony for various purposes. The reason for this design is that there were no scene changes, or breaks during the play. Very little scenery was used, so the actors had to create a scene through their voices and dialogues. This led to a more poetic script, and poets became the main source of script writing.The Restoration TheaterSome of the plays told sad stories, but the majority of the plays were really funny. Many specialized machines were used to create the scene. The stage was a very clever idea, in that on the sides of the stage large back shutters(百叶窗) were painted with the scene.1.Why were ancient Greek theaters built on hills?A.To hold a large audience.B.To build a big and strong stage.C.To have a better sound effect.D.To emphasize exaggerated performances.2.In which theater could actors’ voices and speech help create scenes?A.The Greek Theater.B.The Medieval Theater.C.The Elizabethan Theater.D.The Restoration Theater.3.What is special about The Restoration Theater?A.Colorful masks were used.B.The stage was smartly designed.C.Most of its plays were sorrowful.D.Ordinary people were the performers.BA new family moved in next door and I got to meet the mother of the family, Lydia. Lydia is Korean, and her family moved to our city so her husband could go to graduate school. We started talking, and she was apologetic about how bad her English was, but I didn’t care. I knew how hard it was to learn a second language. I enjoyed chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play.It was what came next that challenged me: Lydia asked if I’d be willing to help her with her English. Now, I am not a teacher. I admire teachers, and I’m grateful for teachers, and it’s because I admire what they do so much that I was very very sure that I couldn’t do it myself.But Lydia was sure that she wanted my help. I was doubtful. I wasn’t sure my “help” was even worth being called by that name. But because she asked me, I said “yes. ” And that was the beginning of a friendship. Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading the newspaper, and as we did, she asked me questions when she had them—questions about language, yes, but also questions about the new culture she found herself in. In turn, I asked my own questions, growing curious about her home country and culture. We bonded over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs. When I complimented( 恭维) her cooking, she began to teach me about Korean food, eventually leading to a shared trip to explore the Korean grocery stores in our city. Because of Lydia, I learned more about my own hometown than I ever could have learned by myself. I’m still not sure that I’m any good as a teacher. But I’m grateful I said “yes” when my neighbor asked me to help her with her English. That meant spending extra time with my neighbor, and that extra time meant she didn’t remain just my neighbor. She became my friend.4.What was Lydia sorry about?A.Her bad English.B.Her carelessness.C.Nobody teaching her English.D.Her poor life in a new place.5.What can be concluded from the third paragraph?A.The author admired teachers.B.The author wanted to be a teacher.C.The author didn’t want to help Lydia.D.The author was not confident in helping Lydia.6.Why was the author grateful at the last paragraph?A.She managed to learn English well.B.She made friends with her neighbor.C.She learned how to cook Korean food.D.She realized her dream of being a teacher.7.What can we learn from the passage?A.No pains, no gains.B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.C.To help others is to help ourselves.D.Where there is a will, there is a way.CWeChat is a social mobile application with voice and text messaging timeline and several social features like “Message in a Bottle”. WeChat, a popular instant messaging tool run by Tencent Holdings, aims to help users access mobile services without downloading separate apps, which experts said may challenge the business of smartphone app distributors such Apple Store.This new feature, named “Mini Programs”, allows WeChat users to find a variety of services such as ticket buying by scanning a QR (quick-response) code, saving them the trouble of installing a number of different apps on smart devices, according to the transcript of a speech by Zhang Xiaolong, Tencent’s senior executive vice president, on Wednesday. The new function is expected to come online on January 9.Zhang, known as the father of WeChat, emphasized that “Mini Programs” is not a mobile app distributing function.Still, experts and app developers said that the rollout ( 推出) of “Mini Programs” on WeChat will erode themarket share of app distributors like Apple Store in China.“‘Mini Programs’ will attract lots of start-ups, because a program based on WeChat can help them build up businesses at much lower costs, ” a Shanghai-based app developer, told the Global Times on Wednesday.If a start-up wants to promote its business via a separate application, it has to hire a special team to develop two different apps—one each for IOS and Android.Launched in 2011, WeChat has evolved to include services such as “Order Taxi”, “Food Delivery”, e-commerce and payments from just an instant messaging app.8.What can we know about “Mini Programs”?A. It’s expensive.B. It’s complex.C. It’s convenient.D. It’s free.9.Why do lots of start-ups choose the “Mini Programs”?A.It can cut the costs of building business.B.It can help build up business.C.It can help them make a big fortune.D.It can promote their business.10.What does the underlined word “erode” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A.

Promote.11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.WeChat will be a perfect app.B.WeChat will meet a great challenge.C.WeChat will meet needs of more people.D.WeChat will replace other apps.DIn my memory, winters always used to be really unpleasant. You had to bundle up just to keep warm when you went outside. You were often cold, wet, slip on the ice, and you’d arrive home to an ice-cold house. And that would mean turning on the heating and waiting. It’s a miracle you didn’t get cold to the bone.Fortunately, things don’t have to be so challenging any more. Technology, engineering anddesign have advanced giving us new solutions to old problems. It means dealing with winter needn’t be like skating on thin ice.With a smart thermostat ( 温度自动调节器), our homes can be warm when we need them to be. Many modelsfeature smartphone apps that allow you to control temperature remotely, so we can warm up the house before we arrive home. According to techradar. com, Tado’s model features voice control, while the Nest ‘leans’ your habits and automatically heats the home for you.Clothes have been given an upgrade, too. Electronic thermal jackets, sweaters and coats heat up when you turnthem on. What is the better way to keep warm in the dead of winter? At the touch of a button, or through an app on our phones, the clothing generates heat from elements placed inside. Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over 12 hours.Finally, there is the clothing for the head, Beanies and Earmuffs, that feature speakers included in the fabric using Bluetooth technology so we can listen to our favourite music or, in some cases, have a phone call using the in-built microphone. All while keeping the head warm and avoiding a cold.For many, the thought of winter used to be enough to make their blood run cold. But using technology, life needn’t freeze up. With the right solutions, there’s no reason why winter can’t be really, really cool.12.What do the underlined words “bundle up” mean in Para. 1?A. Fix an air conditioner.B. Take a hot bath.C. Run a lot.D. Put on more clothes.13.How does electronic thermal clothing work?A.The equipment placed inside the clothing produces heat.B.It needs to be warmed up before being used.C.The thermostat heats up automatically when the temperature is low.D.It keeps warm for over 12 hours after being charged for an hour.14.From the passage, we can learn the following statements EXCEPT that .A.Tado’s model can be controlled by saying something to itB.with the in-built speaker and microphone, Beanies and Earmuffs users can have a phone callC.technology can do nothing to make winter less roughD.Bluetooth technology is used in the clothing for the head15.What’s the best title of this passage?A.A Smart ThermostatB.A Modern WinterC.Ways of Keeping WarmD.An Unpleasant Winter第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 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。
山东省临沂实验学校2020届高三英语高考模拟卷(九)

山东省临沂实验学校2020届高三英语高考模拟卷(九)一、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分) (共4题;共37.5分) 1.(7.5分)阅读理解You might call them "Internet friends" since I haven't met most of them, but for me they're real friends whether we talk online or in person. I name-drop them in conversations with other friends, we have in-jokes, and we share advice or a listening ear when we need to. They are no different to the friends I have made at home.The problem with my "Internet friendships" comes when I have to explain them to "real friends". "But how can they be your friends if you've never met them?" "What do you really have to talk about?" The list is endless. Even family members think I am a freak (不正常的人) for believing that anyone on the Internet can be a) real b) a true friend c) free of serial killer (连环杀手) tendencies. I've met so many people through Twitter which has led to me meeting them in "real life" as well. When I go to London, it's full of people that I love. At the end of last year after a visit to the city, I spoke to one of my "Internet friends" and said that seeing her had reminded me how much I missed her. Her reply was as follows:"I forget that my Internet friends are just as real and important to me as the friends I grew up with (if not more important sometimes!)".Over the past year, as I often wasn't well enough to even leave the house, my "Internet friends" became extremely important and without them I would have struggled to keep my head above water. My "physical friends" were great, truly, but my "Internet friends" became more important in some respects possibly because of our shared love of travel. Many of us share the same dream of being able to live the life of a traveler for as long as we can and they also know what it takes to do that-things my friends didn't know. When I struggled to see what I needed to do before visiting a place, they were there with advice.(1)(2.5分)What does the author think of "Internet friends"?A.They can't be true friends.B.They are dangerous sometimes.C.They are the same as "real friends".D.They are more reliable than "real friends".(2)(2.5分)How does the author's opinion about "Internet friends" sound to his family?A.It is strange.B.It is popular.C.It is objective.D.It is beneficial.(3)(2.5分)When were the author's "Internet friends" particularly important?A.When he was lonely.B.When he was very busy.C.When he needed suggestions.D.When he couldn't go outside.2.(10分)阅读理解The best-known example of outer influence causing language change is the "Americanization" of world culture, which has caused English words to appear all over the world. The effect is most noticeable in pop music. Foreign groups often record in English, and the words are picked up and repeated everywhere, even by children who otherwise have little or no command of the language. I once met a Brazilian child of about ten who could count "one, two, three", but only by adding the words "o'clock, four o'clock rock" at the end.Some people are often strongly critical of the influence of English on their language-especially when an English word replaces a traditional word. In 1977,France passed a law banning the use of English words in official situations if an equivalent (意义相同的) French expression existed-but the law seemed to be honoured more in the breaking than in the observing. Some other countries have considered introducing a similar law despite the evidence that such laws have very little effect, and that the arrival of loan words (外来词) can greatly enrich a language (as indeed in the case of English itself, which has a long history of welcoming foreign words).However, not everyone is critical. In particular, commercial firms and advertisers are well aware of the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring. In Japan, English is even used in television commercials, despite the fact that the majority of viewers would not understand exactly what was being said: the excellence implied by the mere use of English is apparently enough to command the strategy to the advertisers.Most of the influence of English is upon the vocabulary of foreign languages, but surveys are slowly bringing to light several cases where word order or word structure has been affected. Sentences of the type "The book sells well", using an active construction for a passive meaning, have begun to appear in Danish (Bogen soelgergodt). Several languages keep the English plural ending when they make use of a loan word, and do not translate it into the native form, e.g. drinks. There are many other such cases.(1)(2.5分)Why could the Brazilian child speak "one, two, three" in English?A.Because he had seen these words everywhere in the street.B.Because he had learnt how to tell the time in English.C.Because he had made himself master of English.D.Because he had heard these words in songs a lot.(2)(2.5分)What can we infer about the law passed in France in 1977?A.It was strict.B.It was unfair.C.It was often ignored.D.It was strongly opposed.(3)(2.5分)Why do some Japanese commercials use English?A.To follow the American trend.B.To become world-famous.C.To enrich Japanese.D.To increase sales.(4)(2.5分)How is the last paragraph mainly developed?A.By providing examples.B.By making comparisons.C.By explaining grammar rules.D.By analyzing language change.3.(10分)阅读理解One beautiful day, my good friends and I joined an experienced crew and sailed in the Caribbean. As boating beginners, my friends and I were in charge of spotting the light areas of the seafloor that signaled dangerous reefs (暗礁).Ocean reefs have the potential to destroy any sailboat that passes over them, so while the electronic depth sounder is a necessary tool, it is always helpful to find a reef ahead of time so that it can be more easily avoided.One aspect of boating that was reserved for the experts was tacking, the sailing term for changing direction. All at once, a smooth sail could turn into complete pandemoniumas the captain at the wheel began yelling directions to the first mate (大副), who quickly began struggling with the sails and rigging (索具). Generally, the wind continued to offer resistance. This made the first mate's struggle more demanding and really frightening to the less experienced boaters on board. This mad yelling and tacking could go on for several minutes before all was right again and the boat settled into its new course. Once this had occurred, the captain and the first mate acknowledged each other with congratulatory smiles. We beginners, however, were still recovering from our terror and wondering to ourselves, "Was all that supposed to happen? And they think this is fun?"As we headed back toward the shore, the unpredictable wind not only slowed but stopped, and soon the boat did too. After several minutes, the ship's crew unwillingly turned on the motor. Unfortunately, it wouldn't start and so we floated at sea, no land in sight, just waiting. It was late afternoon when I began to recognize the panic that was rising in my throat. Eventually, the ship's captain got the engine running. The sails were up and the little motor moved along.(1)(2.5分)What were the author and his friends asked to do?A.Watch passing sailboats.B.Notice reefs in the ocean.C.Get experience from the crew.D.Use the electronic depth sounder.(2)(2.5分)What does the underlined word "pandemonium" in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Chaos.B.Damage.C.Devotion.D.Blindness.(3)(2.5分)How did the author feel while the captain and the first mate were busy tacking?A.Confused.B.Amused.C.Scared.D.Excited.(4)(2.5分)What happened when the ship was sailing back?A.There was a fierce wind blowing.B.The engine wouldn't work.C.The author's throat hurt.D.The crew lost their way.4.(10分)阅读理解The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual speed-breakers on major highways and roads, in an attempt to check speeding and careless driving,and eventually make its deadly roads a little safer. "We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers," India's transport minister Nitin Gadkari tweeted.The visual illusions (幻象) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier this month, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a danger to safety for high-speed vehicles.India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over 20,000 people are killed by road accidents due to poor application of road safety laws. This is considerably higher than its official figures of 141,526 for 2014.The use of visual illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings.In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, two artists, mother and daughter have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of this year. The artists say their motto is "to increase the attention of drivers", and that the concept has been successfully tested in zones where accidents easily occur on a highway.However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India's decision does not consider the safety of a large number ofwalkers. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.(1)(2.5分)According to the passage, 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers in India aimsto .A.Replace all speed breakers from highways.B.Encourage essential requirements of speed breakers.C.Check speeding and careless driving on all highways.D.Remind divers to speed down voluntarily for road safety.(2)(2.5分)What caused the high number of road accident deaths in India?A.Speeding motorists.B.Floating 3D crossings.C.Free use of visual illusions.D.Bad application of traffic laws.(3)(2.5分)The author explains the experiment of 3D zebra crossings in India by .A.giving examples.B.analysing causes.C.providing figures.D.making comparisons.(4)(2.5分)What's the author's attitude towards 3D zebra crossings?A.subjective.B.objective.C.supportive.D.critical.二、任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) (共1题;共12.5分) 5.(12.5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。
2020届临沂市实验中学高三英语一模试卷及答案解析

2020届临沂市实验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AExperts say that if food were a country, it would rank second behind theUSas one of the biggest greenhouse gas polluters. The reason is the rising demand for meat. Animal farming is responsible for 14.5 percent of global methane emissions. While cowsare the worst contributors, pigs, sheep, donkeys and other animals play a part as well.Animal agriculture also causes land to become damaged, water to be polluted and forests to get destroyed. With the world population forecast to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050, things are only looking worse for our already decreasing natural resources. While going vegetarian would help, meat consumption is too deep-rooted in most Western diets to allow for such a sharp, permanent change. That is why experts are advocating substituting some of the beef, chicken, or pork with ordinary insects!Insects, which grow into adults within a matter of months, if not weeks, are ready for consumption much faster than domestic animals. They also require much less room, use less water and food, and produce far less greenhouse gas than animals.Of the 1.1 million insect species worldwide, scientists have identified 1,700 as eatable. Among them are ants, grasshoppers, grubs, and earthworms. Just like animals, each insect has a different taste. Tree worms taste just like pork, and grubs are similar to smoked meat.While eating insects might be a new concept for Western people, over 2 billion people worldwide consume insects as a regular part of their diet. Besides being delicious, insects are high in protein, have very few calories, and are free of the saturated fat found in animal meat. Insects can be prepared in many ways. Creative cooks can use them to cook protein-rich soup, make baked treats, and even fry a few with vegetables. So eat insects--- both your body and Mother Earth will thank you for it!1. Which of the following animals contribute the most to global methane emissions?A. Sheep.B. Donkeys.C. Cows.D. Pigs.2. How is the third paragraph developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By providing examples.C. By listing data.D. By asking questions.3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Few people eat insects regularly.B. Ordinary insects are high in fat.C. Insects contain various vitamins.D. Saturated fat is harmful to health.BCraig Blackburn, a father and car fan, built a Batmobile for his son’s hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children. And now he hopes to use it for more than just his sons hope after seeing the childrens reaction to the Batmobile.Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups, he estimated that only about one in 50 attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.Mr. Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing. It started with importing an outer shell overseas, before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car. With the help of his friend, Mr. Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.Mr.Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower(喷火器)onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight. Though Mr. Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction, in September 2019, the carmade its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba, before being used by Blackburn’s son for his hope.“It was great. It was so good to see the kids’ and adults’ excitement at seeing the Batmobile.” Mr. Blackburn said. As a result, the car lovers hope to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible, so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.4. What is Craig Blackburn’s initial purpose of making the Batmobile?A. To realize his son’s dream.B. To donate it to sick children.C. To pay his respects to the film Dark Knight.D. To show off at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba.5. How did Blackburn feel about the car-making at first?A. Hopeful.B. Confused.C. Impossible.D. Unsure.6. How did Blackburn’s friend help him?A. By making an outer shell for him.B. By offering him financial support.C. By sharing the knowledge of building cars.D. By telling him the background of the car factory.7. What is the car lovers’ expectation of the Batmobile?A. It will be driven soon on the roads.B. It can be displayed around the world.C. It can change the lives of sick children.D. It will appear in the next film about Batman.CHow much do consumers care about the carbon footprint of the products they buy? Would they care more if the goods were labeled with emissions(排放物)data?Does it matter at which stage in the lifecycle of a product the carbon is emitted? Research published in the International Journal of Environmental Policy and Decision Making offers a way to find out.Study participants view a carbon footprint label as similar to labels that have appeared on some existing products.The label shows the carbon dioxide emissions connected with their production, transportation, usage and disposal(清理), thus showing the buyer the likely effect on climate change of buying a particular product.In the first group of studies, the research team proved that carbon emissions and a carbon emissions label would indeed play a role in consumer product decisions, although not as great a role as price.In a second set of studies, the team found that emissions connected with usage were most important to consumers followed by the transportation and disposal stages.The carbon footprint of the producing process was considered less important to consumers than the other stages in the product's lifecycle because it is outside the consumer's control.That is, the participants felt they were less responsible for carbon emitted during producing process.Consumers value recycling a product, but the researchers found that, overall, the consumers would preferproducers to offset(补偿)carbon emissions rather than having toaddressthe problem directly themselves.Consumers are increasingly concerned with climate change problems, and already carbon labeling is appearing on some products."We find that participantsnot only take the carbon label into account when making product decisions, but they want detailed information on the label," the researchers explain.They suggest that companies should prepare for how carbon emissions labels might affect future consumer choice.8. Which of the following most affects consumer's choice?A. Labels.B. Price.C Packaging. D. Carbon footprint.9. About the carbon dioxide emissions in the product's lifecycle, which stage do consumers care most?A. Usage stage.B. Transportation stage.C. Disposal stage.D. Producing stage.10. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "address"?A. Look into.B. Point out.C. Deal with.D. Run into.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Companies should take carbonemissions more seriously.B. All products have been labeled with carbon emissions data.C. Producers will attach less importance to carbon emissions labels.D. Products labeled with carbon emissions data will have poor sales.DOne of the greatest challenges in caring for such intelligent animals as chimpanzees(猩猩)is providing them with enriching experiences. Every day, the chimpanzees at Project Chimps receive morning and evening food-based enrichment devices, but caregivers are always looking for more ways to keep the chimps mentally engaged. With 79 chimpanzees, each with their distinctive personality, care staff often find that different chimps react differently to new enrichment.Last year, we began inviting musicians to perform for chimps to see what they may respond. A violin performance received quite the response. Additional musicians were lined up to visit but the coronavirus has stopped the activities, which we hope toresumein the near future.This past week, we brought an electric piano for the chimps to investigate. Some chimps, like twins Buttercup and Clarisse, were immediately interested and could not wait to tap out a few notes. Others, like Emma, were more interested in trying to take it apart.29- year-old Precious has very little tolerance for the piano. She sat off to the side for a few minutes, but eventually she decided that was enough. She called an end to the enrichment session by throwing a handful of waste at the piano. Receiving her message loud and clear, we removed the piano.We could never have guessed how 33-year-old Luke would react to it. As with many retired lab chimpanzees Luke has some anxiety issues. He seems particularly distrustful of anything new, including people, food, andenrichment. But when we presented the chimps with the piano, Luke was the first to investigate. We could not believe our eyes — this usually anxious chimpanzee bravely chose to explore something new!To us at Project Chimps, this is what it is all about: giving chimpanzees the freedom to choose. We are honored to be part of their journey.12. Why do chimpanzees respond differently to new enrichment?A. They are of different genders.B. They have natural curiosities.C They are as intelligent as humans. D. They have their unique characters.13. What does the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Continue.B. Suspend.C. Monitor.D. Regulate.14. Who showed the least interest in the piano?A. Buttercup and Clarisse.B. Emma.C. Precious.D. Luke.15. What is the text mainly about?A. How caregivers care for the retired chimpanzees.B. What care staff do to enrich chimpanzees' daily life.C. How chimpanzees are trained through various enrichment.D. What Project Chimps does to observe and study wild chimps.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。

He was too young to fly and join the adults. So, we had to bring him onto our back porch to ensure his safety. A week later, the young goose had clearly decided we were his new family. We called the little guy Peeper.A year passed and we were accustomed to the life of taking care of him. Peeper slept on our back porch each night. My da d would spray off all the goose’s droppings daily. Part of this ritual(例行的事)included dad throwing Peeper up into the air so he could fly a loop around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean. One evening, my dad threw him up again, but this time, Peeper just flew off and never back again. Twenty years passed, and Peeper became a fond memory for my family.Geese live to be around 25 years old, are very loyal, and never forget their first home. Even so, it came as a total shock to me when, in 2019, an aging adult goose made his way back to my family home. At first, I assumed it was just another goose. And yet, something about the lone male seemed oddly familiar to me.After two weeks of the goose coming back repeatedly, it became clear to me that this wasn't a random goose. He did all of the same things Peeper used to, like trying to come in through the front door and sleeping in our enclosed pool area. In addition to looking like Peeper's old ways, this goose also responded to the name Peeper. Much to my amazement, my old best friend had returned, 20 years later.This experience has been as meaningful to me as anything in my life. I hope that my children, someday, have the opportunity to connect with nature and a wild being in this same way. People long for connection with the natural world. Through Peeper, I have learned so much about myself and about the nature of love.4.What did the author's family do to the little goose?A.He taught him some tricks.B.They restricted his flight.C.He tried to drive him away.D.They took good care of him.5.What do we know about geese from this text?A.They depend on human very much.B.They always remember the first home.C.They know how to repay human beings.D.They are good at flying long distances.6.What does the author think of the reunion with the goose?A.It is controversial. B.It is quite natural.C.It is of significance. D.It is accidental.7.What can be a suitable title for this text?A.The Reunion of a Family and a GooseB.A Goose with a Great MemoryC.A Goose Will Eventually Fly AwayD.The Desire to Get on Well with AnimalsResearchers have found, for the first time plants letting out sounds when they are stressed. According to a study a team of scientists recorded tomato and tobacco (烟草) plants producing sound frequencies which humans cannot hear in stressful situations—such as when they experienced a lack of water or their stems (茎) were cut.Previous research has shown that plants respond to stress by producing several visual and chemical signals. For example, stressed plants may differ in color and shape compared to unstressed plants. Meanwhile, some are also known to let out things in response to drought (干旱) or being eaten.The latest study, meanwhile, is the first to identify plants making sounds which can be detected over a distance. The team detected the tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour on average when they were exposed to drought conditions, while the tobacco plants produced 11. When the stems of the plants were cut, the tomato plants made 25 sounds an hour on average and the tobacco plants produced 15. As a comparison, unstressed plants made less than one sound per hour on average, according to the study.The team say that while they only tested tomato and tobacco, it’s possible that other plants could also produce sounds, adding that the latest findings could have an influence on agriculture. “Plant sound production could offer a new way for monitoring crops water state—a question of key importance in agriculture”, the authors w rote in the study more precise irrigation can save up to 50 percent of the water cost and increase the production.“In times when more and more areas are exposed to drought due to climate change, while human population and consumption keep increasing, effective water use becomes even more important for food security”, they said “Our results, showing the ability to distinguish between drought-stressed and control plants on the basis of plant sounds, open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture.”8.Which of the following best describes plants’ response to stress in the study?A.Sing. B.Laugh.C.Cry. D.Sigh.9.What can we know from the first 3 paragraphs?A.Humans can hear the sound produced by plants.B.Stressed and unstressed plants look the same.C.Plants in stressful situations make the fewest sounds.D.Stressed tomato plants make more sounds than tobacco.10.How can the study help agriculture?A.Lower the cost. B.Better the quality.C.Monitor climate change. D.Control the pests.11.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Science. B.Health.C.Education. D.Culture.We've all spent time in a hospital, whether through medical issues of our own or those of a loved one. And while we're used to seeing the doctors hurry in and out of the room, displaying varying degrees of attention, it's the constant and reliable presence of the nursing staff and their professionalism that gives the most confidence and relief to those in the room.So, while doctors and surgeons tend to get most spotlight, nurses are really at the forefront of patient care. They are often called upon to make important, life-saving decisions multiple times a day and work closely with doctors to analyze records and test results to advise on treatment. It's the nurses that are frequently responsible for identifying a condition and matching the right specialist doctor to a patient, and it's the nurses that are often the first on the scene to treat people in an emergency.A career in Nursing brings job security, a good wage, career mobility, and chance to decide your own career path. You can work part or full time according to your preference. You can be flexible on work location and specialism. If a particular area interests you, you can explore that as there will always be the need for quality nurses across the medical spectrum(医学光谱)with a passion for their work. Jobs in the field are in high demand, with significant opportunities to learn, grow and reach senior leadership positions. However, if you want to undertake a career in Nursing, a good education is compulsory.The University of Texas at El Paso School of Nursing offers high quality and affordable undergraduate and graduate programs reinforced by talented faculty(全体教师), strongclinical partnerships and advanced simulation(模拟)technology. Students do gain much real experience before working in a hospital. Adelphi's College of Nursing and Public Health provides students with a top-rated, comprehensive education grounded in practice, theory and creativity. They are devoted to transforming students' lives through small classes withworld-class faculty, hands-on learning and creative ways to support academic and career success. The Wayne State University College of Nursing, attaching special importance tofirst-hand experience, is dedicated to providing the highest quality education to a diverse population of graduate students. Graduates from the college are prepared to be nurse leaders in research, education and practice.12.What can comfort patients most in the hospital?A.Spending less time there.B.Receiving concrete care from nurses.C.Drawing little attention there.D.Getting timely information from doctors.13.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The content of different positions.B.The process of patient care.C.The importance of nursing work.D.The contribution of doctors.14.Which of the following can best describe the nurse professional?A.Low-paid and secure.B.Promising and significant.C.Flexible and tiresome.D.Demanding and dangerous.15.What do colleges in the last paragraph have in common?A.They charge high learning fees.B.They offer small-class teaching.C.They require basic nursing education.D.They provide hands-on learning.二、七选五Criticism (批评) is harmful to healthy relations hips. It’s okay to expressdisappointment if someone is behaving in a way that hurts you. 16.The following are some ways to catch criticism before it begins.17.Before you criticize, pause and consider whether you really need to say anything at all. If someone did something to get on your nerves, would you really need to point it out? Sometimes, it’s best to let small rudeness go Take a few deep breaths and leave the room instead of criticizing.Be realistic. Critical people often have very high expectations of those around them. Your tendency to criticize may come from expecting too much from others. Sometimes you may find yourself consistently annoyed or disappointed with others. 18.Separate the individual from their actions. Critical people often focus on the negative aspects of a situation or a person, failing to see good qualities alongside negative ones. If you find yourself making assumptions about a person’s character, stop yourself. 19.We all behave poorly sometimes, but a single action is not a reflection of character.Focus on positives. Oftentimes, being critical results from how you’re choosing to see a situation. 20.However, the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh the bad ones. Try to focus on a person’s positive qualities over their negative ones.A.Never criticize others.B.Think before you speak.C.Everyone has drawbacks and imperfections.D.It may be a good idea to adjust your expectations.E.We should foc us on other people’s disappointing actions.F.Try to separate a disappointing action from the person doing the action.G.Being overly critical, however, can cause tension in a relationship over time.三、完形填空The notion of building brand personality is promoted by Starbucks as a part of company culture to embed meaning in their products and thus attract more customers.Starbucks literally changed the definition of “a good cup of coffee”. For Starbucks, the brand had three elements: coffee, 21 and stores. Strict control over the quality and processing of the beans 22 that the coffee would be of the highest possible quality. Outstanding store personnel were employed and trained in coffee knowledge and 23 service. Store design, atmosphere and aroma (浓香) all 24 the “Starbucks Experience”.Almost all Starbucks stores were corporately owned and controlled. Starbucks prided itself on the “Starbucks Experience”, 25 coffee to provide a unique experience for its customers.26 those traditional coffee houses providing you with the grab-and-go service, Starbucks provides you with more than coffee. You get great people, first-rate music, a comfortable and upbeat meeting place, and 27 advice on brewing excellent coffee at home. At home you’re part of a family. At work you’re part of a company. And somewhere in between is a place where you can sit back and be yourself. That’s what a Starbucks store has been 28 to creating for its customers —a kind of “third place” where the y can29 , reflect, read, chat or listen.The green Starbucks logo is a mermaid that looks like the end of the double image of the sea. It was designed by Terry Heckler, who got the 30 from the wooden statue of the sea. Mermaid logo also 31 original and modern meanings: her face is very simple, but with modern abstract forms of packaging; the middle is black and white, the only color on the outside surrounded by a circle.Starbucks makes the typical American culture gradually broken down into elements of 32 : the visual warmth, hearing the way, smelling the aroma of coffee and so on. Just think, through the huge glass windows, watching the crowded streets, 33 sipping a coffee flavor, which is in line with the “Yapi”, the feeling o f experience in the 34 life.But the 35 of Starbucks is not about the coffee, although it’s great coffee. Coffee is only a carrier. Coffee consumption, to a great extent, is an emotional and cultural level of consumption.21.A.people B.managers C.customers D.clients 22.A.assured B.promised C.ensured D.predicted 23.A.emergency B.environment C.employment D.customer 24.A.consisted of B.benefited from C.contributed to D.headed for 25.A.going beyond B.coming across C.making up D.depending on 26.A.With regard to B.In addition to C.Compared with D.In terms of 27.A.general B.reasonable C.legal D.fascinating 28.A.committed B.alerted C.subjected D.required 29.A.negotiate B.perform C.conceal D.escape 30.A.imagination B.inspiration C.patent D.philosophy31.A.creates B.cultivates C.credits D.conveys 32.A.brand B.logo C.possession D.experience 33.A.greedily B.gently C.persistently D.indifferently 34.A.busy B.easy C.miserable D.energetic 35.A.product B.vision C.essence D.importance四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下列材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(一个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
2020年临沂市实验中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案

2020年临沂市实验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AMirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding, It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you seesomeone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also prettycontagious—seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you, I feel the same”. Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other.Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That's why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.It is interesting that when a man tries to mirror a woman's body language while she is talking, he may seem to her as caring, intelligent and attractive.Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with a new person, mirror his or her gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you arc mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as arrogant. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.1. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Powerful to show one's feelings.B. Affecting each other.C. Attractive to the others.D. Being gentle to people around.2. When copying others, body language, one usually can ______.A. send wrong messagesB. hide true feelingsC. avoid misunderstandingD. win others, acceptance3. What might happen if you try to mirror your boss's body language?A. You will appear very attractive.B. It will help to soften his position.C. You will seem unacceptably proud.D. It willbe a good way to build trust.BCalifornia's August Complex Fire tore through more than 1,600 square miles of forest last summer,burning nearly every tree in its path. It was the largest wildfire in the state's recorded history, breaking the record previously set in 2018. After the fire, land managers must determine where to most efficiently plant new trees.A predictive mapping model called the Postfire Spatial Conifer Restoration Planning Tool recently described in Ecological Applications could inform these decisions, saving time and expense. The tool can “show where young trees are needed most, where the forest isn't going to come back on its own, where we need to intervene(干预)if we want to maintain forests," says lead author Joseph Stewart, an ecologist at the University of California, Davis.To develop the model, Stewart and his colleagues classified data collected from more than 1,200 study plots in 19 areas that burned between 2004 and 2012. They combined these data with information on rainfall, geography, climate, forest composition and bum severity.Theyalso included how many seeds sample conifer trees (针叶树)produced in 216locations over 18 years, assessing whether the trees release different numbers of seeds after a fire.The tool's potential benefits are significant, says Kimberley Davis, a conservation scientist at theUniversityofMontana, who was not involved in the study. Those managers will still have to make hard decisions, such as which species to plant in areas that may experience warmer and drier conditions resulting from climate change, but the model provides some research-based guidance to help the forests recover.4. What challenge do land managers face after the wildfire?A. Lack of wood supplies.B. Where to plant new trees best.C. How to save the burned trees.D. Loss of trees and wild animals.5. What's the main idea of paragraph 2?A. The function of the tool.B. The disadvantages of the tool.C. The improvement of the tool.D. The development of the tool.6. What does the underlined word "They" refer to?A. The study plots.B. The data.C. Stewart and his colleagues.D. The seeds.7. What isDavis' attitude towards the tool?A. Skeptical.B. Ambiguous.C. Tolerant.D. Optimistic.CI’ve been putting my passport to good use lately. I use it asa coaster and to level unsteady table legs. It makes an excellent cat toy.Welcome to the pandemic (疫情) of disappointments. Canceled trips or ones never planned in case they would be canceled. Family reunions, study-abroad years, lazy beach vacations. Poof. Gone. Ruined by a tiny virus, the list of countries where our passports are not welcome is long.It is not natural for us to be this sedentary (定居的). Travel is in our genes. For most of the time our species has existed, we've lived as nomadic (游牧的) hunter-gatherers. But what if we can't move? What's a traveler to do? There are ways to answer that question. "Despair," though, is not one of them.We are an adaptive species. We can tolerate brief periods of forced sedentariness. We pass the days glancing through old travel journals and Instagram posts. We gaze at souvenirs. All this helps. For a while. Then, what hope do we have?I think hope lies in the very nature of travel. Travel involves wishful thinking. It demands a leap of faith, and of imagination, to board a plane for some faraway, land. Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowing the outcome and are drunk in that uncertainty. Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned.That's one reason why I have faith in travel's future. In fact, I'd argue travel is an essential activity. It's not essential the way hospitals and grocery stores are essential. Travel is essential the way books and hugs are essential. Food for the soul. Right now, we're between courses, enjoying where we've been, expecting where we'll go. Maybe it'sZanzibarand maybe it's the campground down the road that you've always wanted to visit.8. From the first paragraph we learn that the author is _______ .A. desperateB. humorousC. boredD. worried9. From the author's perspective, what's the point of travel?A. To feel hopeful.B. To make a wish.C. To take adventures.D. To broaden horizons.10. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By showing evidences.B. By providing examples.C. By making comparisons.D. By interpreting opinions.11. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Where to go for a trip.B. Why people need to travel.C. How to fight the pandemic.D. What people should do at home.DPortraits as ArtAccording to a dictionary, portraiture is “a representation (描绘) of a person, especially of the face by drawing or painting alikeness.” However, this definition neglects the complexities of portraiture. Portraits are works of art that engage with ideas of identity rather than just a likeness. These concepts of identity involve social rank, gender, age, profession, character of the subject, etc. It is impossible to copy all the aspects of identity. Therefore, portraits reflect only certain qualities of subjects. Portrait art has also undergone significant shifts in artistic practice. The majority of portraits are the outcome of current artistic fashions and favored styles. Therefore, portrait art is an art category providing various engagement with social, psychological, and artistic practices and expectations.Since portraits are different from other art categories, they are worthy of separate study. During their production, portraits require the presence of a specific person, or an image of the individual. In many instances, the production of portraiture has required sittings, which result in interaction between the subject(s) and the artist throughout the creation of the work. In certain instances, portrait artists depended on a combination of different involvement with their subjects. If the sitter can’t sit in the studio regularly, portraitists could use his or her photographs. InEurope, during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the sitting time was sometimes decreased by focusing only on the head. Theoretically, portraitists could work from impressions or memories when creating a painting, but this rarely occurred according to documented records. Nonetheless, whether the work is based on model sittings, copying a photograph, or using memory, the process of painting a portrait is linked with the model’s attendance.Furthermore, portrait painting can be distinguished from other artistic categories by its connection with appearance, or likeness. As such, the art of portrait painting got a reputation for imitation instead of for artistic innovation. Based on Renaissance art theory, portraiture was related to the level of a mechanical exercise as opposed to a fine art. Michelangelo’s well-known protest against portraits is only one example. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the attitude to portraiture was critical. Even so, artists from around the globe persisted in painting portraits despite their theoretical objections. Picasso, for example, became widely-known forcubist still-life painting(立体派静物画) early in his career, but some of his early experiments in this new style were his portraits of art dealers.12. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A. The changing definition of portraiture reflects shifting attitudes to it.B. Most portraits reflect artistic fashions and favored styles when created.C. Portraiture is a more complex art form than is defined in a dictionary.D. Portrait art shouldn’t be seen as a distinct art category for its complexity.13. Which of the following is a characteristic of portraiture mentioned in paragraph 2?A. Portraiture typically takes much less time than other art forms.B. Portraiture often requires frequent cooperation between artists.C. Portraits show models in a more accurate way than other art forms.D. Portraits generally involve interaction between subjects and artists.14. According to paragraph 2, during portraits’ production, artists __________.A. based their work on the subjects’ attendanceB. preferred models’ photographs to their presenceC. were more willing to use impressions or memoriesD. reduced sitting time to concentrate on a sitter’s head15. Picasso is chosen as an example by the author because he __________.A. altered the way other artists felt about portrait artB. created portraits in spite of his objection to portrait artC. depended on portrait art to establish a higher reputationD. had fewer theoretical objections to portraitures than others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。

It has also entered international organizations of civil aviation, maritime affairs, search and rescue satellites and mobile communication.BDS-based services have been successfully applied in land mapping, precision farming, digital development and smart port construction in member countries of ASEAN, South Asia, Eastern Europe, West Asia and Africa.1. What can we learn from this passage?A. The total number of 5G phones has reached a new level.B. Kunlong, unlike SH-5, is not just for military purposes.C. Technologies mentioned above need more cooperation with others.D. BDS-based services have been provided for users in many countries.2.

If your friend did a course in marketing management, he may choose a job in a ________.A. 5G technology related marketB. large amphibious aircraftC. BDS-based projectD. China Satellite Navigation OfficeBMark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It's life-changing but it's not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical (辅助医疗的) tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Using flesh-toned (肉色的) inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients' view of themselves.Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.“Plastic surgery gave me no hope,” she says. “So I looked for other options.” She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano. He hid Pollan's lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence.“ You don't understand until you've been through it,” Pollan says. “It made me have a different look on life.”Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn't charge for paramedical tattoos. “Financially, it doesn't make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see thatemotion from my customers, I'm 100 percent sure this is something that I can't stop doing.”4. What best describes people's attitude when first hearing of fingernail tattoos?A. Indifferent.B. Ridiculous.C. Confident.D. Surprised.5. What did Catalano do to help Leslie Pollan?A. He drew an artistic puppy.B. He inked scars on her face.C. He created a lip tattoo.D. He performed plastic surgeries on her.6. What can we infer from the passage?A. Cosmetic surgery is of no use.B. Tattoos earn Mark Bertram a good fame.C. Catalano is a kind and generous person.D. Fingernail tattoos are popular around the world.7. What could be the best title for the text?A. A Life-changing EventB. Miracle TattoosC. An Amazing ArtistD. A Promising BusinessCWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students inAuckland,New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher.Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program forAucklandelementary schools.Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.8.

It can change if necessary.10. What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?A. Optimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Unclear.D. Disapproving.11. What might be the best title for the passage?A. New High-tech Contributes to EducationB. The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.C. The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to StudentsD.New ZealandWill Replace Teachers in ClassroomsDAccording to statistics published by the BPI (Buying Power Index) a couple of months ago, digital streaming (流媒体) now accounts for 80 percent of the music consumption in the UK. Despite the incredible growth of online streaming platforms like iTunes, Apple Music and Tidal over the past 15 years, a more traditional medium has also seen a return of interest and sales in the music industry. In 2020, almost one in five of all albums purchased in the UK is vinyl (黑胶唱片), and it has once again become the most popular physical musical medium.With digital streaming so easy and convenient, why are so many peopledrawn to traditional records? Someexperts claim that vinyl is a physical medium for experiencing music, something tangible (有形的) to hold and own. For most people, having something tangible and interacting with it gives depth to the experience of music. Listening to an album and touching it the way the artist intended can make them feel more connected to the music and the artist. Records are physical products that can be not only displayed but also gifted, shared, traded and passed down through generations.Sound quality is another hot topic. A lot of music lovers feel that the analogue sound (模拟声音) vinyl offers is superior to modern digital audio, particularly with regards to the compressed formats streaming platforms use. There’s a common belief that old-school analogue audio has a warmer, fuller sound than digitised music. For vinyl followers, the very defect traditional recorders often have, such as the familiar crackle (劈啪作响) when the record starts, bring the music to life in a different way.There’s aritualisticaspect to vinyl that a lot of people are drawn to, too. The act of putting a record on—carefully removing the record from the sleeve, placing it on the record player and gently dropping the needle on the right groove (凹槽)—is a more assiduous (一丝不苟的), mindful way of engaging with music. When you’re listening to vinyl, you can’t tap abutton and go about your day while the streaming service provides hours of music. You need to stay close to the record player to move the needle and flip the record over.It’s clear that the vinyl interest is well underway, and vinyl records are truly making a comeback. In an increasingly digital society, there’s something to be said for analogue experiences. Perhaps one of the great things about being alive in the 21st century is our ability to have the best of both worlds—the timeless appeal of physical records alongside the easy access to vast music libraries that streaming offers.12. What are the statistics published by the BPI used to show?A. An increase in music consumption.B. The recovery of music industry.C. A comeback of a physical medium.D. The acceptance of online streaming.13. According to some experts, why does vinyl interest many people?A. It attracts people by its realistic feel.B. It offers simple access to different music.C. It shares a new way to enjoy music.D. It provides people with perfect sound effect.14. The underlined word “ritualistic” in Para.4 means something ______.A. Overlooked by society.B. Updated very frequently.C. Performed as part of a ceremony.D. Kept for a long time without changing.15. How does the writer feel about the future development of music medium?A. Traditional records will get underway.B. The analogue experiences may matter more.C. Vinyl sales will boom with technological advance.D. There should be a good mix of old and new.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。

ATheaters of the PastThe Greek TheaterTheaters developed in many parts of Greece.Ancient Greek theaters were built in natural open air sites on conveniently shaped hills.This allowed a great mass of people to enjoy a show at a time.Due to this,actors placed emphasis on exaggerated(夸张的)action and speech.And,colorful symbolic masks and costumes were used.The Medieval TheaterThe Medieval theater started in churches.That’s why medieval plays were about Bible stories.At first,it became a custom for priests(牧师)to act out brief scenes during Christmas and Easter.These acts attracted large crowds. Finally the church refused to allow priests to participate in any such events again,so ordinary people began these performances outside.Performances were set in the town square,with several stage settings around it.The Elizabethan TheaterThe England’s theater developed rapidly in the years following the defeat of the Spanish Navy.The dominant feature of Elizabethan theater was the stage,It has three parts:The fore stage for outside scenes;the inner stage for scenes inside a building;an upper stage or balcony for various purposes.The reason for this design is that there were no scene changes,or breaks during the play.Very little scenery was used,so the actors had to create a scene through their voices and dialogues.This led to a more poetic script,and poets became the main source of script writing.The Restoration TheaterSome of the plays told sad stories,but the majority of the plays were really funny.Many specialized machines were used to create the scene.The stage was a very clever idea,in that on the sides of the stage large back shutters(百叶窗) were painted with the scene.1.Why were ancient Greek theaters built on hills?A.To hold a large audience.B.To build a big and strong stage.C.To have a better sound effect.D.To emphasize exaggerated performances.2.In which theater could actors’voices and speech help create scenes?A.The Greek Theater.B.The Medieval Theater.C.The Elizabethan Theater.D.The Restoration Theater.3.What is special about The Restoration Theater?A.Colorful masks were used.B.The stage was smartly designed.C.Most of its plays were sorrowful.D.Ordinary people were the performers.BA new family moved in next door and I got to meet the mother of the family,Lydia.Lydia is Korean,and her family moved to our city so her husband could go to graduate school.We started talking,and she was apologetic about how bad her English was,but I didn’t care.I knew how hard it was to learn a second language.I enjoyed chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play.It was what came next that challenged me:Lydia asked if I’d be willing to help her with her English.Now,I am not a teacher.I admire teachers,and I’m grateful for teachers,and it’s because I admire what they do so much that I was very very sure that I couldn’t do it myself.But Lydia was sure that she wanted my help.I was doubtful.I wasn’t sure my“help”was even worth being called by that name.But because she asked me,I said“yes.”And that was the beginning of a friendship.Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading the newspaper,and as we did,she asked me questions when she had them—questions about language,yes,but also questions about the new culture she found herself in.In turn,I asked my own questions,growing curious about her home country and culture.We bonded over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs.When I complimented(恭维)her cooking,she began to teach me about Korean food,eventually leading to a shared trip to explore the Korean grocery stores in our city.Because of Lydia,I learned more about my own hometown than I ever could have learned by myself.I’m still not sure that I’m any good as a teacher.But I’m grateful I said“yes”when my neighbor asked me to help her with her English.That meant spending extra time with my neighbor,and that extra time meant she didn’t remain just my neighbor.She became my friend.4.What was Lydia sorry about?A.Her bad English.B.Her carelessness.C.Nobody teaching her English.D.Her poor life in a new place.5.What can be concluded from the third paragraph?A.The author admired teachers.B.The author wanted to be a teacher.C.The author didn’t want to help Lydia.D.The author was not confident in helping Lydia.6.Why was the author grateful at the

passage?A.No pains,no gains.B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.C.To help others is to help ourselves.D.Where there is a will,there is a way.CWeChat is a social mobile application with voice and text messaging timeline and several social features like “Message in a Bottle”.WeChat,a popular instant messaging tool run by Tencent Holdings,aims to help users access mobile services without downloading separate apps,which experts said may challenge the business of smartphone app distributors such Apple Store.This new feature,named“Mini Programs”,allows WeChat users to find a variety of services such as ticket buying by scanning a QR(quick-response)code,saving them the trouble of installing a number of different apps on smart devices,according to the transcript of a speech by Zhang Xiaolong,Tencent’s senior executive vice president, on Wednesday.The new function is expected to come online on January9.Zhang,known as the father of WeChat,emphasized that“Mini Programs”is not a mobile app distributing function.Still,experts and app developers said that the rollout(推出)of“Mini Programs”on WeChat will erode the market share of app distributors like Apple Store in China.“‘Mini Programs’will attract lots of start-ups,because a program based on WeChat can help them build up businesses at much lower costs,”a Shanghai-based app developer,told the Global Times on Wednesday.If a start-up wants to promote its business via a separate application,it has to hire a special team to develop two different apps—one each for IOS and Android.Launched in2011,WeChat has evolved to include services such as“Order Taxi”,“Food Delivery”,e-commerce and payments from just an instant messaging app.8.What can we know about“Mini Programs”?A.It’s expensive.B.It’s complex.C.It’s convenient.D.It’s free.9.Why do lots of start-ups choose the“Mini Programs”?A.It can cut the costs of building business.B.It can help build up business.C.It can help them make a big fortune.D.It can promote their business.10.What does the underlined word“erode”probably mean in Paragraph4?A.Increase.B.Reduce.C.Improve.D.Promote.11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.WeChat will be a perfect app.B.WeChat will meet a great challenge.C.WeChat will meet needs of more people.D.WeChat will replace other apps.DIn my memory,winters always used to be really unpleasant.You had to bundle up just to keep warm when you went outside.You were often cold,wet,slip on the ice,and you’d arrive home to an ice-cold house.And that would mean turning on the heating and waiting.It’s a miracle you didn’t get cold to the bone.Fortunately,things don’t have to be so challenging any more.Technology,engineering and design have advanced giving us new solutions to old problems.It means dealing with winter needn’t be like skating on thin ice.
