第二节
I wish to choose Mulan as my favourite cartoon character. Living in ancient times, Mulan is a young girl who decides to go to join the army as a way to help her family. Because her baby brother is too young to enlist, she makes this sacrifice in order to stop the forced recruitment of her father. As only men could join the army in these times, Mulan disguises herself as a man to trick the army officers. I really love this character because she is both brave and caring. She fights with courage and determination and she makes a great contribution to her country. She is also a wonderful role model, showing women, and people in general, that they need not feel limited about what they can achieve.

A21. What is the cost for 2 nights of accommodation for 2 people at the Yakamoz Hotel with the LonelyPlanet discount?A. £88.B. £80.C. £72.D. £64.22. Rail holidays are available for __________.A. North America, Europe and AustraliaB. North America, South America and AsiaC. Australia, Asia and EuropeD. North America, South America and Australia23. How many advertisements offer holidays to Peru?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.BAcross the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positiveattitude toward reading.There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys’ reading?To improve boys’ reading performance, parents and educators m ay look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called “boy-friendly” books that boys supposedly “prefer”. These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction.But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with bo oks. Firstly, don’t assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.24. According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys’ and girls’ reading ability?A. Social factors.B. Teaching methods.C. Personal preferences.D. Psychological differences.25. Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading?A. To persuade boys to read more often.B. To learn what boys are most interested in.C. To help boys improve their language ability.D. To show that adults are good reading role models.26. When should schools give students additional library access according to the author?A. Before and after class.B. At any time of the school day.C. At regular times during class.D. When they are in the lower grades.27. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To show students ways to improve their reading.B. To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls.C. To urge governments to provide more reading resources.D. To provide strategies that can help improve boys’ reading ability.C“Anything you want, anytime you need it.”The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time, on the same day: December 12th, at 12 p.m.. Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address. Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the card’s and said: “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shoppingwebsite like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked – it was a household name before it’d even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, “What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stop making trouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.28. What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?A. An invitation to a company opening.B. The website address of a new company.C. The words “Anytime: Starting tomorrow”.D. The words “Anything you want, anytime you need it”.29. Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?A. Because it didn’t have enough money for traditional advertising.B. Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.C. So the reporters would write stories about the new company.D. So people would find the new company interesting.30. What did Chris’ s research suggest about Anytime?A. It may be very dangerous.B. Its popularity would soon decrease.C. It was doing business all over the world.D. It was being widely criticised by journalists.31. How did Chris feel at the end of the story?A. Scared that he would get into trouble.B. Confident that he would find the truth.C. Nervous about what the company would do.D. Satisfied that he had discovered the company’s secret.DInside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris, a small metal cylinder (圆柱体) rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room’s three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining, circular metal is its holiest relic. It is thedefining mass (质量) against which all other kilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, or standard, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardis e individual nations’ weights and measures systems.But the days of the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement –based on electric current – in order to define the mass of an object. The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned.“One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security,” says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson. “If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed, we wou ld have no reference left for the world’s metric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all.”Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. “Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram,” says Robinson. “We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy.”32. What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs?A. It’s cared for with great devotion.B. It’s used in religious ceremonies.C. It’s beautifully designed and decorated.D. It’s the mos t valuable metal in the world.33. Which of the following best explains “dethroned” underlined in paragraph 5?A. rebuiltB. removedC. destroyedD. upgraded34. What is a reason for replacing the current IPK?A. To protect the metal cylinder from damage.B. To make taking measurements more economical.C. To provide all countries with the same standard.D. To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. No more kilosB. A heavy technologyC. The future of the kiloD.

How many advertisements offer holidays to Peru?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.BAcross the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading.There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys’ reading?To improve boys’ reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called“boy-friendly” books that boys supposedly “prefer”. These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction.But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help conne ct boys with books. Firstly, don’t assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.24. According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys’ and girls’ readingability?A. Social factors.B. Teaching methods.C. Personal preferences.D. Psychological differences.25. Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading?A. To persuade boys to read more often.B. To learn what boys are most interested in.C. To help boys improve their language ability.D. To show that adults are good reading role models.26. When should schools give students additional library access according to the author?A. Before and after class.B. At any time of the school day.C. At regular times during class.D. When they are in the lower grades.27. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To show students ways to improve their reading.B. To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls.C. To urge governments to provide more reading resources.D. To provide strategies that can help improve boys’ reading ability.C“Anything you want, anytime you need it.”The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time, on the same day: December 12th, at 12 p.m.. Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address. Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the card’s and said: “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked –it was a household name before it’d even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, “What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m..W hen he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stop making trouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.28. What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?A. An invitation to a company opening.B. The website address of a new company.C. The words “Anytime: Starting tomorrow”.D. The words “Anything you want, anytime you need it”.29. Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?A. Because it didn’t have enough money for traditional advertising.B. Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.C. So the reporters would write stories about the new company.D. So people would find the new company interesting.30. What did C hris’ s research suggest about Anytime?A. It may be very dangerous.B. Its popularity would soon decrease.C. It was doing business all over the world.D. It was being widely criticised by journalists.31. How did Chris feel at the end of the story?A. Scared that he would get into trouble.B. Confident that he would find the truth.C. Nervous about what the company would do.D. Satisfied that he had discovered the company’s secret.DInside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris, a small metalcylinder (圆柱体) rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars. It has lainthere for more than a century, its rest only occasionally disturbed when theroom’s three key holders p erform a coordinated opening ceremony to lettechnicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining, circular metal is its holiest relic. It is the defining mass (质量) against which all other kilograms are measured. This isthe international prototype, or standard, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardis e individual nations’ weights and measures systems.But the days of the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement – based on electric current – in order to define the mass of an object. The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned.“One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security,” says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson. “If the c astle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed, we would have no reference left for the world’s metric weights system.

英语_2019-2020学年广东省广州市高三(上)调研英语试卷(12月份)(含答案)
2019-2020学年广东省广州市高三（上）调研英语试卷（12月份）第二部分阅读理解（共两节）第一节（满分30分）1. Stagecoach Buses ﹣﹣﹣ Popular tickets（1）What is true about the "Dayrider" ticket？________A You need the correct change to buy it．B You can use it to travel anywhere in the city．C It can be purchased with your mobile phone．D It can be used with any bus company．．（2）If you want to go sightseeing around one of the lake areas， which ticket is the most suitable？________A Dayrider．B Bus and Boat．C Sightseeing．D Student tickets．．（3）What is needed if you want to buy a student ticket？________A A photo of yourself．B Your name．C The bus app．D Valid student ID card．2. When Allen invited me on a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot cocoa, and soft beds． But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipments ﹣﹣﹣ tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles． We were goingon survival training!The ever﹣efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urges us tohurry． Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening．At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules． Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain．After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top． My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest． "We need to set up camp quickly, " said Leo． "There are dark clouds coming in． A storm's on its way．"I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious． He and Allen workedexpertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance． We just finished putting up the tents when it hit． The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless．Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures． But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped． "Don't worry． Summer storms pass quickly, " Leo said trying to comfort me． "And at least the rain will keep the bears away, " he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting．And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent． The view was incredible ﹣﹣﹣ I could see for miles． As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky．I won't lie ﹣﹣﹣ I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget．（1）Why was the author surprised when Allen came to get him at the beginning of the story？________A Allen had arrived earlier than arranged．B He saw that Allen was not well prepared．C He realized their trip would be challenging．D Allen's brother was unexpectedly with him．．（2）Why was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top？________A It was almost night time．B The weather was changing．C They were tired and needed to rest．D They needed protection from animals．．（3）What can we guess about Leo？________A He was an experienced and capable hiker．B He was inconsiderate of other's feeling．C He had known the writer for a long time．D He had not been to this mountain before．．（4）How did the author feel at the end of the story？________A Satisfied．B Optimistic．C Scared．D Disappointed．3. Sleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person's wellbeing． Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity （being very overweight）, high blood sugar levels, andheart disease． Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance．Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smartwatches to the 100 students in his chemistry class． Instead, the professor hoped the wrist﹣worn devices, which track a person's physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement．While Gross's data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising． As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight﹣line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course's 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam．Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test． Instead, it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most．The time students went to bed each night was similarly important． Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher﹣performing student． "When you go to bed matters, " Gross says． "If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same． But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to down even if you get the same seven hours． So, quantity isn't everything．"Perhaps most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students' grades． The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep． Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes．Who knew getting A's just required some extra ZZZ's?（1）Based on his original objectives， which best describes Professor Gross's research findings？________A Accidental．B Complete．C Convincing．D Doubtful．．（2）Who were the people taking part in the study？________A Middle school chemistry students．B Volunteers from differentuniversities． C Professor Gross's own students． D University student athletes．．（3）How did Professor Gross's team measure academic performance？________A Making the students wear a special watch．B Using students' university entrance test results．C Giving the students regular after class quizzes．D Using the students' normal test and quiz grades．．（4）Based on the study's findings， who is likely to perform best academically？________A A person who has a good night's sleep the night before an important test．B A person whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p．m． and 12 p．m．C A person who sleeps from 11 p．m． to 6 a．m． each day．D A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hourseach night．4. How affordable is high culture? One great myth of our time is that tickets foropera, theatre, ballet and orchestral （管弦乐） concerts are too expensive, especially for the young． This is ________ as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive． The cheap tickets to hear London's orchestras range from £7 to £9 ﹣﹣﹣ same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs． For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is £ 30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic it's an expensive £ 46．Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn't so easy． True, British companies don't charge the ridiculously high prices found on the Continent （£2000 for a good seat at the premiere of La Scala's Carmen last December）, but the tickets are still pretty steep． Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that． Luckily, however, one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene． It's live （or slightly delayed） cinema transmissions． The New York Metropolitan Opera now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies aren't far behind． Cinematic opera is excellent value． For the cost of a good bottle of wine （£10 or £15 for the Royal Opera House's shows）you can sit in your local movie﹣house and see a high﹣definition relay of what's occurringon the world's grandest stages． No, it's not the same as being there, but it's almost as good． The sound is incredible． The images, particularly of dancers, are fantastic． And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home． To me, this mountain of evidence, together with free museum admissions, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle﹣class． Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top﹣qualitydrama, music and dance． The real battle now should be ensuring that schoolchildren are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up．（1）What does the underlined word "infuriating" in paragraph 1 mean？________A Quite interesting．B Very annoying．C Not certain．D Extremely obvious．．（2）What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets？________A The amount of money charged by top performers．B The costly technology required for broadcast．C The demand of companies for big profits．D The high cost of renting the stages．．（3）Which of the following is true about cinematic opera？________A People can decide where to watch the opera．B Audiences are discouraged from responding to the performances．C It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance．D The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance．．（4）Which statement would the author agree with？________A The quality of opera performances is improving．B High culture is becoming more affordable in Europe．C The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered．D Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events．第二节（满分10分）5. Learning to understand spoken English can be difficult． Learners must not only master new sounds， but also learn conversational idioms． That's a lot to learn! But they may soon realize there is something else going on．（1）_______ These different styles of speaking are called "registers"． In their work， language experts identify three major factors that affect the register of spoken English： the place of the conversation， the relationship of the speakers， and the purpose of the conversation．（2）_______ Even two best friends who work and live together may speak more formally to each other in the office． At home， one might say， "C'mon， I wanna leave．" The same person at work might say， "Are you ready to go now？"The relationship of the speakers also affects the language they use with each other． People speak less formally to friends and more formally to strangers．（3）_______ People who know each other well might use more idioms and more slang in their speech． An angry woman might tell her daughter to "hush your mouth" and her sister to "quiet down"．Finally， the purpose of the conversation affects people's speech． A person who wants to ease hurt feelings uses a soft， quiet tone．（4）_______Few speakers realize that they change registers according to these factors．（5）_______ We are not aware that we make these changes． We accept the changeability of the weather，but we often refuse to accept the changeability of speech．A．In fact， most people strongly deny it．B．People generally speak less at work than they do at home．C．The very same person speaks differently in different situations．D．Therefore， we should be careful not to hurt each other with our speech．E．On the other hand， a person who wants to pick a fight speaks rapidly and loudly．F．The place where the conversation takes place directly affects the language of the conversation．G．Becuase they already share information and experience with friends， they do not need to explain as much．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）6.

These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading.There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage.

All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hoursBloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life.

He tried to find out who owned the company,but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble.
