2021新高考英语模拟试卷2

第一部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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。

A．Perfect.B．Disappointing.

C．Cool but too realistic. D．Good but too long. 2．What may you prefer to read if you are interested in travel?

A．As You Wish. B．Royce Rolls.

C．Queens o f Geek.D．I Hate Everyone But You. 3．What can we learn about Bent?

A．She was an actor at the age of 12.

B．She is a teen who loves making trouble.

C．She had a big wish on her 18th birthday.

D．She shares her friendship in her book.

I suspect that we socialize more during the spring and summer months. Under the warm sun, yards bloom with cold drinks and conversation, barbecues get fired up, and parties quickly spill outside. Shifting these sweet summer parties to ones that arc also waste-free can be both simple and inexpensive, with just a few small changes to your habits.

The first step is to keep invitations virtual. Creating a Facebook event or sending a simple email is perfect for inviting guests to your party without generating waste from paper invitations, and if you're looking for something a bit more formal, sites such as Greenvelope and Paperless Post have given the cheesy e-vite a brilliant makeover. Virtual invites also allow you to track RSVPs, communicate with guests, and provide clickable info about your event.

To decorate, make use of the candles, flowers and greenery already in your outdoor space rather than stocking upon store-bought flowers, and consider using decorations that can be reused (like a cloth happy birthday banner, for example) rather than one-time use decorations. Skip the balloons in favour of large tissue paper pom-poms, and offer up any decorations still in decent condition to a free group after the event rather than just tossing them out.

The most obvious way to cut down on party waste, of course, is by getting rid of disposable plates, cups and cutlery. I shouldn't have to do much convincing in this department – does anyone actually enjoy using those paper plates that fold in half when you pile them high with too much greek salad or drip oil through the bottom? Has anyone in the history of the world ever actually successfully cut anything with one of those completely useless plastic knives? There really isn't much to be gained from using disposables.

With these shifts and a few other small adjustments here and there – paper straws instead of plastic, a large drink dispenser rather than individual soft drinks or juice boxes – you'll be set to celebrate all summer long, without suffering the accompanying garbage hangover the next day. 4．Which is the best title for the passage？

A．How to hold a successful garden party. B．Summer garden party habits.

C．How to hold greener summer parties.D．How to entertain your guests. 5．What does the underlined word “cheesy” in the second paragraph mean?

A．Free. B．Formal. C．Plain. D．Inviting.

6．What should we do with used decorations in good condition?

A．Donate them. B．Sell them. C．Put them away. D．Throw them away. 7．Why docs the writer dislike paper plates?

A．They're too expensive. B．They're not practical.

C．They're not convincing. D．They're not popular.

Some people say summer is the time when teachers should get more pay. But not everyone is grateful to teachers for keeping kids occupied between August and June. Washington state representative Liz Pike has written a Facebook post, titled "A life in the day of a WA state

representative", and responded to teachers' complaints of rising costs of living. The post has received criticism for being anti-teacher. After reading her post, I feel that Liz Pike should rethink her criticism of public school teaching and avoid comparing it to the private school.

Many of us teachers would certainly like teaching to be more like the private school. We see nothing wrong with fair pay for fair performance. In fact, performance is the name of the game. With standardized testing popular throughout K-12 education, teachers are some of the most analyzed and performance-measured employees in the United States. Liz Pike is very angry that teachers want raises even while test scores are dropping. Well, how are we supposed to have discipline in the classroom when our hands are tied and we can hardly do anything with naughty students or fail students who are not prepared to move on to the next grade?.

Teachers would love to be able to turn education around and improve students' performance. But we can't and we should not suffer for it. Unlike private school businesses, public schools cannot turn away “customers”．A private school business serves customers who walk through the door of their own free will, while public schools have to educate students who only attend because courts say they must.

She says those who are "uninspired" by a lack of a cost of living increase should give up teaching. Is this the message that she thinks should be sent to the students whose academic performance she claims to care much about? That “if you love it you'll shut up and not stand up for yourself ”？I think teachers should stand up for themselves and I also think supporting teachers can make teachers teach children how to stand up for themselves.

8．What is Liz Pnce's opinion?

A．Teachers should be treated equally.

B．Teachers shouldn't ask for a pay rise.

C．Teachers should accept public criticism.

D．Teachers 8houldn't give students much homework

9．What problem do teachers in public schools face in the author’s opinion?

A．Their performance is not measured.

B．Many schools are becoming private.

C．They can't master the correct teaching method.

D．They are under the control of a system of rules.

10．The underlined word "customers" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to .

A．students B．teachers

C．clever businessmen D．private schools

11．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ．

A．some teachers are not excellent enough

B．supporting teachers is helpful to students

C．teachers shouldn't complain about their living costs

D．Liz Pike doesn't care about students' academic performance

Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM), along with Chinese Kungfu and Peking Opera, is one of China’s cultural symbols recognized worldwide. It is a gem of Chinese civilization, and it has also made great contributions to world civilization by improving peopl e’s health and promoting social progress.

There used to be a debate in China about whether TCM or Western medicine was better, and arguments can still be heard today. But actually, TCM and western medicine are two different medical theoretical systems that can not replace each other. In some aspects such as surgery, Western medicine is better than TCM, but in other areas, such as recovery after surgery and treatment of chronic(慢性的) diseases, TCM is more effective. This is way some Chinese hospitals provide both TCM and Western medicine treatments. A combination of both has been accepted by many Chinese people as the most effective treatment.

Today, promoting and innovating TCM has become a consensus (共识) in Chinese society. The Chinese government has formulated policies to support the development and innovation of TCM, with a view to establishing a Chinese healthcare development model paying equal attention to both.

The supportive policies of the Chinese Government will focus on three aspects. The first is the strengthening of TCM services in medical institutions. The second is to apply Internet technology to TCM management, including setting up a database containing TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions (处方) . The third is to give better play to the advantages of TCM, especially acupuncture (针灸) and naprapathy(推拿). The function of TCM in disease prevention and recovery will also be enhanced.

As long as TCM keeps its core strengths and respects the rules of development and innovation, it will surely be able to maintain its vitality and bring more benefits to people in China and the world.

12．What advantage does Western medicine have over TCM?

A．It is a symbol of national civilization.

B．It is more effective in surgery.

C．It is more successful in recovery after surgery.

D．It is more effective in treating chronic diseases.

13．What is the characteristic of the Chinese healthcare development model?

A．It stresses the importance of Western medicine.

B．It attaches equal attention to TCM and Western medicine.

C．It has been established by the Chinese government.

D．It pays equal attention to developing and innovating TCM.

14．According to paragraph 4, which of the following aspects is not included in the Chinese government supports for TCM?

A．It makes better use of the advantages of TCM.

B．It combines Internet Technology with TCM.

C．It calls on the public to support TCM.

D．It increases TCM services in hospitals and medical centers.

15．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．TCM Breaks New Ground.

B．Chinese Government Promotes TCM.

C．TCM is One of China’s Cultural Symbols.

D．TCM Beats Western Medicine.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The event that stands out in Tom’s memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.

“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.

Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.

Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room.

They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊) through the smoke.

They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her.

Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas(睡衣；宽长裤)—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.

“She might have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane ref used to give up. “I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”

Dear fellow students,

Our school has started a program of garbage classification. Different kinds of garbage are required to be sorted out and placed in different dustbins. Paper can be recycled while leftovers can be collected as food for pigs or processed as fertilizer for plants. Above all such harmful things as plastics and used batteries should not be mixed with other wastes.

The program is of great benefit. We will be able to save resources by making use of recyclable garbage and harmful things will not pollute our environment after special treatment.

Let’s work together for a better campus!

Yours

Tom

第二节读后续写（满分25分）

One possible version:

Paragraph 1:

Tom noticed the flame was reaching up.Frozen with fear, he stood rooted to the spot. He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane's hand tightly. Both of them were coughing and their eyes were stinging. Time seemed to stand still, though they were probably there for only two or three minutes.Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She kept pounding against the door. Tom burst out crying.

Paragraph 2:

Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help.A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane's mind. She told them Ms. Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their might. Sure enough, Makcik was lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom were very happy.
