What is the purpose of the text?A. To share a successful story.B. To attract attention to science.C. To introduce a scientific award.D. To praise the contribution of a scientist.BA total of 74,187 confirmed patients, which account for 91.5 percent of the total infections on the Chinese mainland, have been administered traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as part of their treatment, and over 90 percent of them have shown improvement during clinical observation, according to Yu Yanhong, Party secretary and top official of the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine.TCM has effectively relieved symptoms, cut the rate of patients developing into severe conditions, raised the recovery rate, reduced the mortality rate and boosted patients' recovery, Yu said.XuanFeiBaiDu Granule can increase the lymphocyte (淋巴细胞) recovery rate by 17 percent and the clinical cure rate by 22 percent in the controlled observation, according to Huang Luqi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.Liu Qingquan, head of the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that twoTCM drugs -- Jinhua Qinggan Granule and Lianhua Qingwen Capsule/Granule have proven to be effective in the treatment of mild COVID-19 cases, while Xuebijing Injection can help treat inflammation (炎症风暴) and coagulation dysfunction（凝血功能紊乱）.Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that TCM treatment has significantly lowered the proportion of patients whose conditions turned from mild to severe. "None of the 564 patients at the TCM-oriented temporary hospital in Wuhan saw their health condition deteriorating into severe," said Zhang. "We have therefore applied TCM treatment to over 10,000 patients in other makeshift hospitals, and the rate of patients developing into severe conditions were substantially reduced," said Zhang.TCM and Western medicine may come from two different medical systems and have different perspectives on health and diseases, but they are both based on the standard of factual clinical effectiveness.The practice of treating COVID-19 patients has proved once again that the precious wisdomleft by our TCM ancestors is still practical, effective and economical. We would love to share these valuable experiences and effective treatment methods with all countries.in Paragraph 5 ?4.What does the underlined word “deteriorate” meanA.get horribleB. get fitC. get plainD. get worse5.Which of the following drugs is not meant to be taken orally ?A.XuanFeiBaiDuB.

TCM and Western medicine are of equal use.D. XuanFeiBaiDu can be the most effective drug.7. Which of the following is not the effectiveness of TCM?A. ease symptomsB. increase the cure rateC. drop the death rateD. add the severe casesCOur world is steeped in history. In nearly every city on every continent, there are sites to beseen that remind us that our generation was not the first. They show us that those who came beforehad rich cultures, and they inspire us to engage in (参与) their stories. But these essential sites are under threat from natural disasters, warring peoples and even tourists.Fortunately, concerned citizens are trying their best to preserve ancient sites. Respected organizations like UNESCO are stepping in to guard world heritage locations, and a large numberof charities have sprung into action to give new energy to damaged or destroyed structures. Butwith modern technology comes the opportunity to go one step further: to capture (拍摄) sites digitally. This is the goal of the US-based company CyArk, whose founders were moved to actafter hearing of the senseless destruction of ancient ruins.Using a combination of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology and photogrammetry (摄影测绘), CyArk captures details of ancient sites in their entirety, creating a photorealistic 3D model. LiDAR is the most important technique used for capturing 3D blueprintssof a structure. It relies on pulses of light being shot at and bounced back from the structure’ surface to capture both depth and details. LiDAR units can be handheld, or mounted on an aircraftto document inaccessible and large spaces with great precision. Photogrammetry is a free-of-charge technique that involves the use of digital imagery to gain measurement informationand appearance details. These are later combined with the LiDAR data to create a faithful, digital reconstruction of an ancient site.Besides repairing damaged sites with the help of LiDAR, CyArk has made a great effort toengage people directly with virtual space. With VR (virtual reality) devices, we can now experience ancient wonders anywhere.8. Why does the author mention our world’s history in Paragraph 1?A.To introduce endangered historic sites.B.To encourage more people to visit ancient sites.C.To involve people in stories behind ancient sites.D.To show ancient people’ s creativity in architecture.I.What can we say about CyArk?A.It calls on citizens to better protect ancient sites.B.It uses modern technology to redesign ancient sites.C.It successfully prevents of ancient sites being damaged.D.It pushes the protection of ancient sites to a new level.J.What is the function of LiDAR?A.To receive data from photogrammetry.B.To guide an aircraft around ancient sites.C.To help take 3D pictures of ancient sites.D.To explore the inside of ancient sites.K.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Rewinding time: ancient sites with new looksB.Natural disasters: enemies to ancient sitesC.VR: our guide of ancient wonders everywhereD.Appealing for help: ancient sites in troubleDWe tend to believe that older people are more positive and younger people are more sensitive to social cues (暗示).Recently scientists investigated this idea by testing 10,000 men and women. They wanted to see if age affected a person's ability to identify subtle facial emotions, such as fear and anger.The researchers from McLean Hospital in the US used a Web-based platform to collect happiness data. It showed the participants two headshots (头部特写) of random people. They were then asked to identify which subject was angrier, happier, or more fearful. The research found that younger people were able to better identify angry and fearful facial cues than older people."From studies and anecdotal evidence, we know that the everyday experiences of an adolescent are different from an older person, but we wanted to understand how these experiences might be linked with differences in basic emotion understanding," wrote Laura Germine, the study's senior author.But what is it that makes young people more sensitive?"This is the exact age when young people are most sensitive to forms of negative social cues, such as bullying," Lauren Rutter, the study's lead author, told Science Daily. "The normal development of anger sensitivity can contribute to some of the challenges that arise during this phase of development."On the contrary, across the whole 10,000-person survey, researchers found no decline in the perception of happiness among older participants."What's remarkable is that we see declines in many visual perceptual abilities as we get older, but here we did not see such declines in the perception of happiness," Germine told Neuro Science News.She added that these findings fit well with other research, showing that older adults tend to have more positive emotions and a positive outlook.Following the paper's release, Rutter told Neuro Science News that gathering their primary research online allowed the team to tap into a "much larger and more diverse sample set" than previous studies.L.What is the result of the research?A.We become less positive as we get older.B.The younger we are, the happier we feel.C.We are often bullied while young because we are sensitive.D.The younger, the more sensitive; the older, the more positive.M.What makes young people more sensitive according to the text?A.Their family backgrounds.B. Their negative experiences.C. People around them.D. Their visual perceptual abilities.14. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data.D. By providing results.15. Where is the text most probably taken from?A. An announcement.B. A science magazine.C. A travel guide.D. An official report.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

AUrban Transportation in CanadaPublic transportation & Transit passesAll cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation (bus，subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Etiquette on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note♦Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.♦ If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.♦ Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.♦ Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.21. What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?A. Safer trips.B. Longer service hours.C. Lower costs.D. More use of transport.22. How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?A. By running special transport services.B. By offering fewer transportation options.C. By limiting their mobility on city buses.D. By providing free rides in towns and cities.23. What is considered impolite on public transportation?A. Lowering your speaking voice.B. Placing backpacks at your feet.C. Staying close to other passengers.D. Having your proof of payment at hand.BToday we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark, cold winter months. Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly. When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a meta l coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, let’s say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. Y ou could say, “That’s amazing! After all, he’s no spring chicken.”But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disresp ectful. Let’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow, she’s no spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.24. What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”?A. The season after winter.B. Being young and healthy.C. A tightly wound metal coil.D. To occur or appear quickly.25. What is the passage mainly about?A、The origi n of the word “spri ng”B. The meaning of the season “spring”.C. Some expressions with the word “spring”.D. Some characteristics of the season “spring”.26. How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”？A. AngryB. SurprisedC. HappyD. Frightened27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Being young is a great advantage in career development.B. Women may feel offended when describe d as “no spring chick e n”.C. Using “spring-related” expressions in conversations seems impolite.D. Expressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.CMore than 90 years has passed since Hollywood’s official film organization first proposed plans to build its own museum. Those plans are finally becoming a reality, with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures set to open in 2019.The project is underway at the site of a historic Los Angeles department store built in 1939. Museum officials say visitors will be able to “experience the magic of cinema” by learning about all parts of the film-making process.Film historian erry Brougher has been named directors of the museum. Brougher says the museum will include 12 million photographs and 80,000 screenplays as well as props (道具), costumes and other objects from famous films. The Academy Museum will also feature Oscar statuettes (小雕像) donated by actors who won the awards.Brougher says the museum is designed to make visitors feel like they are in a movie, too, with many interactive experiences. “You won’t necessarily know what’s coming next,” he adds. “You’ll be in environments sometimes that make you feel like you’ve gone back to the past and that you’re in the area that you’re actually exploring.” He adds that visitors may even get the chance to walk down a red carpet and accept their own Academy Award.Currently, Hollywood only has a few possibilities for visitors. They can go along the Walk of Fame and visit movie studios or see the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars are presented. But beyond these, movie fans have limited possibilities.Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles says the Academy Museum will provide visitors the chance to experience many different parts of the film industry all in one place. Garcetti notes the museum will also serve the hundreds of thousands of local people working in film-related businesses. He says they, too, will finally be able to visit a place that celebrates their own Hollywood movie industry.28. When was the idea of building a museum in Hollywood first put forward?A. In the 1920s.B. In 1939.C. In the 1990s.D. In 9. What can we learn from Brougher’s words?A. Photos of visitors will be put on display.B. Settings in the museum will feel quite realC. Most visitors will be presented an award.D. Actors will donate much money to the museum.30. What is Eric Garcetti’s attitude towards the Academy Museum?A. Supportive.B. Critical.C. Disapproving.D. Cautious.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Film-making Process in Hollywood.B. The Film-making Process of Hollywood.C. Hollywood Making Plans of Film Museums.D. Hollywood Getting Its Own Film Museum.DFor your next out-of-this-world vacation, you now have the option of literally going out of this world—but it’ll cost you $ 40 million. Then again, can you really put a price tag on having the ti me of your life? According to a new report from Popular Mechanics, Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space. There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet—the earth! The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS).While space tourism itself isn’t exactly a novel idea, the notion of building a hotel out there hasn’t been raised before. Really, other companies are still focused on the transportation part of the puzzle — after all, a trip to space is enough for most folks.According to Popular Mechanics, the hotel will include a luxury orbital suite with big windows, personal hygiene (卫生) facilities, exercise equipment, and yes, WiFi. Because if you can’t share your experience on social media, did it really even happen?Of c ourse, the reasons behind the hotel aren’t just for fun and games. Apparently, space tourism mightbe able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the international Space Station. Russian space contractor R Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests.If any of this is going to happen, however, Russia is going to have to hurry. With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028, there’s little tim e to build the hotel and find wealthy tourists to actually buy a trip into outer space.So if you’ve recently come into a fortune and are interested in investing in what could be the time of your life, ISS is calling your name.32. What do we know about the hotel from the first paragraph?A. It is quite affordable.B. It will be built in Russia.C. It will offer an amazing view.D. It costs $ 40 million to build.33. What does the underlined phrase “the puzzle” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. An orbital suite.B. Space tourism.C. Space exploration.D. A creative idea.34. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Hotel guests won’t be able to see into space.B. Visitors are required to take exercise each day.C. Space travel is not possible without the Internet.D. Tourists tend to share traveling experiences online.35. The hotel will be built to provide Russian scientists withA. fun and gamesB. financial supportC. space contractorsD. more time in space第二节：（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

高考英语模拟试卷题号I II III IV V VI总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共45.0分）AAmsterdam's Best Flea MarketsIjhallen Flea MarketFirst or second weekend of every monthPerhaps the most impressive of them all is Ijhallen，located in the north of Amsterdam．With more than 1，500 stands and 3，000 free parking spaces，the monthly market attracts visitors from not only the Netherlands，but Europe-wide．There is a five euro admission fee，but you can be pretty sure that you can browsesecond-hand treasures for most of the day．Anything and everything can be found here；old guitars and antique chairs，art prints and military gear．Noordermarkt Flea MarketSaturday，9am-4pmMonday，9am-2pmIn the centre of the Jordaan，the Noordermarkt Flea Market on Saturdays includes vintage（老式的）goods and organic food produce from local farmers．On Mondays，the market transforms into an antique-hunter's goldmine．There are piles of vintage clothes，antique books，coins and furniture．Waterloopein MarketMonday-Saturday，9am-6pmThe most centrally located of all flea markets in Amsterdam，Waterlooplein Market offers visitors a range of snacks，second-hand clothes and vintage treasures．There's a maze of second-hand goods，from old globes and hanging lamps，to African drums，antique rugs and used bikes．Spui Book MarketFriday 10am-6pmIdeally situated among bookstores，you'll find a collection of tents sheltering second-hand and antique books at the book market on Spui．You can find a variety of literature from biographies and poetry to fantasy-fiction，history，psychology and geography．While most books are from the Netherlands，some English and international titles are for sale．As well as antique maps，prints and record．1.Which flea market do you need to pay some extra money？______A. Ijhallen Flea Market．B. Noordermarkt Flea Market．C. Waterlooplein Market．D. Spui Book Market．2.What can you pick up at Noordermarkt Flea Market？______A. You can get enough parking space．B. You can choose a range of snacks．C. You can buy some fresh vegetables．D. You can dig some gold mines here．3.When is a good time to visit a favorite market for a crazy book fan？______A. First weekend of every month．B. Friday，10am-6pm．C. Monday，9am-6pm．D. Saturday，9am-4pm．BConstruction on Knolly's Tunnel began in 1896，and it was opened on August 13th，1898 by the man it was named after--Sir Clement C．Knolly，Acting Governor of Trinidad．It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain．Its architecture is still admired and studied today，and many are amazed that Knolly's Tunnel has stood up to the earth's movement over so many years．Much research is being done on the tunnel．At the top of Knolly's Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves，where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature．Standing at the beginning of Knolly's Tunnel，you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end．The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones．Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through，but should do so in groups for safety．In the old days，there were no lights，but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel，though not inside．On your way in，you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel．These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed．Knolly's Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap．The road was recently improved，but is better when you enter from Tabaquite，and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly's Tunnel．On the drive to Knolly's Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature．At the site itself，there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink，but in Tabaquite there are several bars，a restaurant，and food outlets．A gas station and a health centre are also close by．For those who admire architecture，Knolly's Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad．For the nature lovers，there is no better place for them to be and for the historians，they can walk or drive through Knolly's Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled （worked hard）on its structure．So when you visit Trinidad，don't forget to take a look at Knolly's Tunnel!4.Knolly's Tunnel is special in ______ ．A. its environmentB. its functionC. its locationD. its architecture5.The underlined word "site" in the paragraph 4 refers to ______ ．A. TrinidadB. TabaquiteC. Mitchell GapD. Knolly's Tunnel6.What is the purpose of the passage？______A. To suggest a visit to Knolly's Tunnel．B. To introduce the history of Knolly's Tunnel．C. To evaluate the value of Knolly's Tunnel．D. To witness the change of Knolly's Tunnel7.The passage above is probably taken from ______ ．A. a geography textbookB. a travel journalC. a sports reportD. a health and fitness magazineCBlue Planet II's latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures．Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth，the Mariana Trench，have plastic in their stomachs．Indeed，the oceans are drowning in plastic．Though it seems now that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics，consumerplastics are a remarkably recent invention．The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s；the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States．This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change．Plastics pollution research，for instance，is still a very early science．We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be．What we do know，though，is disturbing．Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year．Nearly 700species，including endangered ones，are known to have been affected by it．One in three leatherback turtles，which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish，have been found with plastic in their bellies．Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis．By 2050，that figure is expected to rise to 100percent．And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas．Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat．I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster，worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change．But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change．There are no ocean trash deniers （否认者），at least so far．To do something about it，we don't have to remake our planet energy system．This is not a problem where we don't know what the solution is．We know how to pick up garbage．Anyone can do it．We know how to dispose （处理）of it．We know how to recycle．We can all start by thinking twice before we use single----use plastic products．Things that may seem ordinary，like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag----when taken collectively，these choices really do make a difference．8.Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science？______A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult．B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal．C. The world couldn't possibly function without plastics．D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up．9.How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3？______A. By statistics．B. By quotations from leading experts．C. By using examples from his own experience．D. By comparison and contrast．10.What can we infer about climate change？______A. Climate change is caused by human activities．B. Some people hold some doubts about climate change．C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution．D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change．11.What is the main idea of this passage？______A. Ocean plastic is a global issue．B. The oceans become choked with plastic．C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken．D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the worldDMaths and Music An excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician．Tell others you are also a musician，however，and they will be hooked．Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity，there is no directevidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in．I'm partly referring here to the "Mozart effect"，where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent，including at maths，than other children．It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular：we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort．But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest．If you want your brain to work better，you clearly have to put in hard work．As for learning to play the piano ，it also takes effort．Surely a connection is quite reasonable．Both maths and music deal with abstract structures，so if you become good at one，then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other．If this is correct，it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability．It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis．To become better at one，you need to improve your fitness and coordination （协调）．That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other．Abstract structures don't exist only in maths and music．If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar．Yet we don't hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic （语言的）ability．Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical，so it wouldn't be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar．Music，however，is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it．As such，it seems different from maths，so there wouldn't be any connection between the two．Let's see how we solve problems of the "A is to B as C is to D"kind．These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths．Consider the opening of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik （小夜曲）．The second phrase （小节）is a clear answer to the first．The listener thinks："The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord （和弦）；what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7？" Music is full of puzzles like this．If you are good at them，expectations will constantly be set up in your mind．The best moments surprise you by being unexpected，but we need the expectations in the first place．12.What does the author say about "Mozart effect"？______A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about．B. The findings from it gave people wrong information．C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected．D. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective．13.The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3to show that ______ ．A. football and tennis are played in a similar way．B. certain skills may be developed through practice．C. music and maths have something in common．D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields．14.We can infer from Paragraph 4that ______ ．A. language seems more like maths than music does．B. language is less appealing to learners．C. mathematicians are good at music learning．D. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music．15.What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph？______A. How music differs from maths．B. Why musicians possess mathematical abilities．C. Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians．D. How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共15.0分）If you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night，you know it's difficult to stay awake in class today．Your teacher's voice might begin to sound like a lullaby（催眠曲）．(1) To keep yourself awake，some tips are worth trying in class．Sit in the front of the room．Why？(2) Besides，it'll be easier to pay attention and participate when you're in the front．You'll also be near the people who are more likely to participate，and the sound of their voices might keep you awake．(3) Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture．This will help if you're tired or discouraged by the content of the lecture，because you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the problems．Talking will also keep you engaged and alert．It might be helpful to make a goal for yourself to answer or ask at least 3questions per class．(4) For example，you might say "I didn't understand the last part of the proof．Could you explain it again in more detail？"Listen actively to the lesson．Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake because it requires engagement of your mind as well as your body．(5) To effectively listen to your teacher，you should try to maintain eye contact，face the speaker，pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a pause in the lecture．A．Participate in class activities．B．Develop interest in the subject．C．If so，classrooms can be boring because you're tired．D．Keep silent all the time and try to catch as much information as possible．E．To avoid annoying your teacher you should try to keep your questions on topic．F．You'll be more motivated to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you easily．G．Practicing active listening can help you keep your eyes open for the length of the lesson．16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.

But you seem to be a little worried about it and I have some advice for you.As is known to all, a positive attitude to the competition contributes greatly to excellent performance. Therefore, keep calm and confident before and during the process. Secondly, when writing Chinese characters, employ the correct gesture of holding the pen, which, to some extent, determines the structures of your characters. Thirdly, everybody has his or her own style of writing. It is this personal feature that says a lot about you, thus probably enabling you to stand out among the competitors.Hopefully the suggestions above will do you some good. And I do believe that, through your constant efforts, you will achieve success eventually. Best wishes for you!Yours,Li Hua太原市2020年高三年级模拟试题（一）书面表达评分标准一、评分原则1. 本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。
