2020年浙江省杭州市高考英语二模试卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分25.0分）第一节（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25.0分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．1. True heroes are all around us．Some help others, and others are simply good role model．My hero is my brother﹣Thomas．When Thomas and I were little, we used to go to the playground a lot． Kids would be scared of him and ask, "Is your arm broken? "Thomas would respond by explaining what happened, he was born without the left arm． If they ran away, he wouldn't let it bother him．Thomas is expert at both cross﹣country（越野跑）and track． He is a 4: 46 miler, which with the setback he has makes it an even greater accomplishment． Missing an arm affects his balance, which affects his leg drive．The work he has put in, however, has made up for this．He practices so hard that anything short of success would seem a disappointment． Thomas used to play baseball like it was a religion．His idol was Jim Abbott, a pitcher（投球手）for the California Angels．Abbott was a very good pitcher who only had one arm．"I looked up to Abbott because I saw what I could achieve．" Thomas said．Thomas had a lot of trouble giving up baseball for track because he felt like he was taking the easy wayout, though he liked track more．One of Thomas' best friends, Brad didn't even notice Thomas only had one arm for a few weeks after meeting him．He carried himself so confidently．So I felt okay admitting that I hadn't noticed, said Brad．Not only is Thomas a confident person who is not ashamed of his arm, he is often the center of attention in sports and school．Thomas seems to have accepted his disability．I see it as more of a difficulty, and difficulties can be overcome．Sometimes, if you try hard enough, you can overcome impossible things．As the great distance runner Steve Prefontaine said, "________（1）Which of the following words best describe Thomas？________A Courageous and modest．B Determined and religious．C Confident and strong ﹣willed．D Energetic and changeable．．（2）Why did Thomas give up baseball for track？________A Because he had a preference for track．B Because his idol encouraged him to change．C Because he thought track was easier for him．D Because he couldn't play baseball with single arm．．（3）The underlined sentence in the last paragraph is intended to remind us________．A giving is receivingB nothing is impossibleC hard work leaves noregrets D difficulties are gifts from God．2. We've all been there, running for a bus or train on a cold morning only to find that our nose is also running! Grab some tissues and learn the science behind the phenomenon known as "skier's nose．"A nose like a running tap in winter is business as usual for many people．People call it"skier's nose"．In a study, researchers found that 96 percent of people surveyed reported experiencing some degree of the condition．Apparently, getting a runny nose in cold weather is a bodily defense reaction．That's because the nose has two main purposes: 1）to ________ bacteria so they don't reach our lungs, and 2）to warm and humidify（加湿）the air before it reaches our lungs． Our airways are lined with tiny hairs known as ciliA．In the nose, these cilia wave back and forth to remove our mucus（黏液）so that bacteria can be blocked out．In cold weather the cilia are slowed．When cilia slow, bacteria remain in place and multiply, and this is why people get sick in winter．Not that the nose isn't trying to keep you healthy．All that running nose experience is the nose working overtime to produce more liquid to help move bacteria along．To help it out, experts say that you can try physically warming your nose: Rub your hands together, and then breathe into cupped hands or draw in steam from hot green tea and drink it, as green tea helps accelerate the growth and functioning of cilia．Our nose runs in winter for one more purpose, which is to fight against the drier outside （and inside）air．In winter, or when it's cold outside, the air is much drier than in summer．Our noses respond by producing more liquid to help humidify the air to a level our bodies need, and that's when it starts to run out of the end of our nose．（1）What does the underlined word "filter" probably mean in the third paragraph？________A Kill．B Prevent．C Defend．D Trap．．（2）What can we know about "cilia"？________A They only exist in the nose．B They stop working in winter．C They can sweep away mucus．D They help break down bacteria．．（3）Which of the following is the best title for the text？________A When Do You Have A Running Nose？B What Are the Purposes of Yournose？ C How Can You Deal With D Why Does Your Nose Run When It's Cold？．3. If you grew up in a household that had its fair hare of book shelves, it might say something positive about your personality now that you're all grown up．This new study found that people who grew up in book﹣filled homes have higher reading, math, and technological skills．The researchers analyzed data featuring 160, 000 adults （ages 25 to 6）across 31 nations．All participants were asked how many books there were in their home when they were 16 years old．They chose from a series of alternatives ranging from "10 or less" to "more than 500．"If a household held at least 80 books．then participants went, on to display the average rate of literacy and numeracy（认字和计算）, The rate of literacy continued to increase in parallel to the number of books a household contained until the rate didn't increase from 350 books onwards．Furthermore, young teenagers who grew up around books were shown to have the same levels of literacy and numeracy as university graduates who had only grown up around a few books．Literacy was clarified as "the ability to read effectively to participate in society and achieve personal goals．" Participants took tests that "captured a range of basic through advancedcomprehension skills, from reading brief texts for a single piece of information to synthesizing（合成）information from complex texts．" Numeracy tests measured the "ability to use mathematical concepts in everyday life, " while IT﹣related tests "assessed the ability to use digital technology to communicate with others, as well as togather, analyze, and synthesize information, "The results suggest those books made a long﹣term difference, "Growing up with home libraries improves adult skills in these areas beyond the benefits from parental education, or one's own educational or occupational attainment, " the researchers report．Not surprisingly, the biggest effect was on reading ability．"The total effects of home library size on literacy are large everywhere, " the researchers report．（1）What can we learn from the new study？________A Homes filled with books do much benefit to one's growth．B One's literacy and numeracy are finally shaped at the age of 16．C All participants need to have ten lo more than 500 books at home．D Those reading a lot are more competent than university graduates．．（2）What is paragraph 4 mainly about？________A The benefit of literacy，numeracy and IT ability．B The measurement of literacy，numeracy and IT ability．C The relation between literacy，numeracy and IT ability．D The difference between literacy，numeracy and IT ability．．（3）According to the text，books influence one's________．A parental educationB occupational attainmentC calculating abilityD reading ability．（4）What is the writer's purpose in writing the text？________A To describe the importance of receiving good education．B To clarify the effect of home library size on one's adult skills．C To explain the necessity of acquiring literacy and numeracy．D To introduce methods of improving one's literacy and numeracy．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．4. Humans were made for walking．With our upright，posture and strong leg muscles，our bodies were actually designed with walking in mind，which makes it such perfect exercise．It's kind to our bodies and great for our waistlines．（1）_______Maybe you already love to walk，but you're getting tired of tracing the same old route day after day，or maybe you're new to walking and aren't sure how to get started．（2）_______Ask yourself， what do you want to get out of walking aside from the health benefits？Do you want to meet other people？See new places？Get out into the countryside or explore a new city？Knowing your goals will help you decide on the type of walk you want to do．I making friends and socializing is your goal，call up your friends and schedule walks with them．（3）_______ Many malls have groups that come every day，or every weekend，to"walk the mall．" These groups are always happy to include one more walker!（4）_______Many large cities have incredible gardens and parks that include quiet walking trail． getting you off the beaten path．Thanks．to the Rails to Trails program，railways across the country are being transformed into scenic walking paths that are a perfect way to seek calmness．From the benefits to your heart to your overall happiness，walking is just plain good for you．（5）_______ It's a fantastic way to get to know a place by the power of your own two feet．A．Headed to a new city？B．This month，pick up a map and start walking．C．Ask your friends where they like to walk and just go there．D．Either way，it's time to accept the idea of walking with a purpose．E．And best of all，it's a great way to see new things and meet new people!

However, that is precisely how the fish-found in the waters off Northern Australia-moves across the seafloor. The unique ocean animals were discovered by a team of scientists led by Dr. Christine Dudgeon from Australia's University of Queensland during a 12-year global conservation study.The newly-found sharks have evolved to survive in low oxygen environments, enabling them to hunt during low tides. The researchers believe their ability to use their fins(鳍) to walk affords the sharks a remarkable edge over the smaller animals they try to hunt. “While they are super hunters in their shallow habitat, the tiny sharks present no threat to people,” says Dudgeon. “At less than a meter long on average they're incredibly cute little animals that do not look like sharks at all,” she adds.A DNA analysis of skin samples from the live fish suggests that walking sharks broke away from their original population and became a distinct species about nine million years ago. Though that may appear to be a long time ago, it is relatively recent given that sharks have been around for more than 400 million years. In fact, Dudgeon and her team believe walking sharks are the youngest kind of sharks on Earth!The researchers say that the sharks’ small numbers and shallow habitat make them extremely vulnerable(易受伤害) to natural disasters and overfishing. They are currently on the Nature Red List, which lists species at risk. Dudgeon and her team believe sensible conservation management plans are urgently needed to protect the walking sharks and other endangered animals from further threats.4.What is the most noticeable feature of the newly-found sharks?A. They are cute and harmless to humans.B. They can survive in their shallow habitat.C. They walk on their fins across the seafloorD. They are the youngest kind of sharks on Earth.5.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The evolution of the sharksB. The behavior of the sharks.T8C. The population of the sharks.D. The DNA samples of the sharks.6. What should be done without delay according to Dudgeon and her team?A. Adjusting the methods of fishing. dwor132B. Putting the sharks on the Nature Red List.C. Changing the sharks’ living environments.D. Adopting necessary measures to protect the sharks.7. In which column of website can we read the text？A. EnvironmentB. Nature.cationD. Geography【答案】4—7 CADBCThe Tokyo Summer Olympics is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be "sustainable"-to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of "precious metals". like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make medals was huge challenge. That's because the amount of metal in each device is tiny.It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just I kilogram of gold.Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the initiative, turning in smartphones digital cameras, handheld games and laptops. At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1, 621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted(熔炼) to get all the gold, silver, and bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It's also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren't safe for people to touch or breathe.By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around 32 kilograms of gold. 4,100 kilograms of silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.8. What can we know about the Tokyo Olympics medals?A. They are hugely valuable.B. They are of high quality.C. They are designed uniquely.D. They are made from e-waste-.9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A. The difficulty of making the medals.B. The process of collecting old electronics.C. The initiative to recycle used smartphonesD. The classification of the collected devices.10. The underlined word “tricky” in Paragraph 5 means “_____”A. creativeB. well-paidC. demandingD. time-consuming11. What's the purpose of Tokyo's way of making the medals?A. To advocate sustainable use of resources.B. To promote the spirit of Olympic Games.C. To introduce a new technique to make medals.D. To call people's attention to environmental damage.【答案】8—11 DBCADOver the last 25 years，psychologists have found that personalities center on five basic traits（特性）--the Big Five: agreeableness，conscientiousness（责任心），neuroticism, extroversion and openness. Contrary to common belief, people just aren’t organized into certain personality types. Every trait is a continuous dimension and everyone can be described as having varying levels of each trait. A new research has also found animals from ants to apes all have the Big Five and that the universality of personality points to an evolutionary（进化）origin.Animals and humans have common problems of survival, which are spelled out beautifully in the Big Five，and that’s why there’s so much continuity in human personality and anim al personality. For example，conscientiousness involves behaviors like planning and consideration，which are important among animals for taking care of their young. selecting mates and living in groups. Being neat and orderly-aspects of conscientiousness-also has evolutionary superiority. Bees that like to keep clean and remove more dead group members reduce risk of disease，gain more weight and reproduce more. Spiders that make tidy webs catch more insects. Birds that build neater and solider nests attract more mates.These behaviors may seem primitive，but they’re nevertheless indications of personality.Personality is the expression of all of the behaviors that humans and animals exhibit that allow them to function adaptively in the world.Evolution can also explain why personalities vary so much . Depending on the situation, each of the Big Five can be advantageous. For example, agreeableness is great for relationships. But if a lion were charging at you, you'd be better off with a less agreeable and more aggressive personality. Because the world is so unpredictable, every aspect of each personality trait could be useful at different times, so instead of evolving a single type of personality that's best for every situation, we're left with a wide variety.12. What do people generally think about personality types?A. Different personality types have respective strengths.B. Everyone falls into a particular personality type.C. People with common personality types gather.D. Everyone has mixed personality types.13. What’s the purpose of mentioning some animals in Paragraph 2?A. To illustrate the advantages of being conscientious.B. To analyze survival chances of cooperative animals.C. To explain why they are tidy and orderly.D. To throw new light on their behavior.14. Why do we display a certain personality in a specific situation?A. To be free of trouble.B. To be adaptive to circumstances.C. To compete for equal rights.D. To gain advantages over others.15. What does the text mainly focus on?A. Personality and behavior.B. Categories of the Big Five.C. Contradictory facts on personality.D. Diversity and variability of personality.【答案】12-15 BABD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。

Before being sent away this boy was the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every competition. He was a champion.But the boy changed after leaving home and attending the boarding school. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like killing himself. All of this was because he felt worthless and that no one loved him.His parents started worrying about the boy. But even they did not know what was wrong with him. So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual questions about his classes, teachers and sports. After some time his dad said, “Do you know son, why I am here today?”The boy answered back, “to check my grades?”“No, no” his dad replied, “I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I don’t care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”These words caused the boy’s eyes to fill with tears. He hugged his dad. They didn’t say anything to each other for a long time.Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on this earth who cared for him deeply. He meant the world to someone. And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!Thanks a lot dad.

But this is really happening, and it's a project of NASA and two European space agencies the Institute of Aerospace Medicine at the Cologne-based German Aerospace Center and the European Space Agency. It’s called Artificial Gravi ty Bed Rest Study, aimed at studying how the body adapts to weightlessness in space.Scientists are seeking 12 women to spend two full months in bed in the fall at a German lab, plus an additional month there for preparation and recovery. The first 12 test subjects all men, already have started the study.Participants spend two entire months in bed and remain lying down even to do everyday things like eating drinking and exercising. They also answer nature's call and shower but it's unclear from the NASA website how those tasks are accomplished in bed."Daily routine showering getting dressed eating exercising takes much time when you cannot stand up to do them," says the website adding that there is “continuous data collection, including blood pressure, heart rate, nutrient absorption and also the participants' feelings. Study subjects will spend the 60 days with their heads tilted (倾斜) down six degrees which imitates(模仿)conditions in space.Participants are encouraged to pass the time by watching TV, taking online courses reading and any other activities they can perform while lying down alone in bed to relieve what could be boredom. Family and friends are allowed to visit.The high $18, 500 payment for two months of lazing about is probably a major motivation for people willing to go through something this extreme. However, if you're an American who really needs the money, you probably can't afford it. Candidates need to travel to Cologne four times at their own expense for the employment process between April and July. Plus they need strong German-speaking skills. Also participants need to be nonsmokers between ages 24 and 55 in good health, with normal body weight.1.What are participants expected to do during the study?A.Report their feelings regularly.plete their daily routines in bed.C.Keep their bodies tilted down six degrees.D.Record their physical responses every day.2.What data about the participants will the researchers collect?A.The changes in their weight.B.Their behaviors to weightlessness.C.The ways they do their dailyD.Their physical and mental reactions.3.What will be a challenge for the participants?A.The language skills they need.B.The difficulty meeting family.C.The possibility that they feel dull.D.The slow discovery of their health.4.The requirements for potential participants are______.A.challenging for AmericansB.tailored to thin personsC.easy for the youth to satisfyD.suitable for most people4、Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay, Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds inthe U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior dir ector of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smart-phones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how sm art glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meant ime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.1.What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1?A.The lighting-fast speed of 5G.B.The expectation of 5G world.C.The difference between 4G and 5GD.The internet-connected devices in our life.2.What does the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Exhibition.B.Success.C.Symbol.D.Explanation.3. We can infer from the text that ________.A.5G world won’t come without AR glassesB.5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicleC.Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwideD.Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced4.What will the author probably tell us next?A.How to fully expand 5G coverage.B.Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.C.Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities.D.The importance of infrastructure construction.5、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。

And it's not justdeath rates and economic trends driving the change. Seniors have more polished social skills, hut teens are stopped from growing up online with fewer real-world connections.“I spend a lot of time with young kids. They can he very disrespectful,” 63-year-old Church's Chicken manager Stevenson Williams tells Bloomberg of his teen coworkers. “You have to coach them and tell them this is your job, not the street,” Williams says. Having “soft skills” such as politeness often comes more easily to the seniors, who have had a lifetime of experience in the workforce to learn how to treat customers compared with young people.Employers thus get a more mature worker at no additional cost but the reasons for seniors outpacing teen hires are many. The US Census Bureau reported this year that, by 2035, there will be more Americans over age 65 than there are children under age 18. Plus, fewer people in their prime (盛年）are working—thanks to the unaffordable childcare that forces many parents to stay at home, according to a study by Princeton University. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) forecasts the number of American workers aged between 65 and 74 will swell 4.5 percent by 2024, while the 16-to-24s will shrink 1.4 percent. By 2024, the BLS projects the labor force will grow to about 164 million people. That number includes about 41 million people aged 55 and older about 13 million of whom are expected to be aged 65 and up.So don't be surprised to see even more service with a smile and silver hair in that drive-through lane.1.What does the underlined part “the change” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.The job market gets competitive.B.Americans live longer.C.Senior centers are becoming more popular.D.Fast-food chains hire more senior people.2.Why are seniors the hot new fast-food employees according to Williams?A.They demand less pay.B.Teens are easy to quit.C.Teens are hard to control and manage.D.They are good at socializing.3.Which of the following can be regarded as a “soft skill”?A.Knowing customers’ needs.B.Having high education.C.Having lots of connections with the real world.D.Being skillful at computer.4.Why do many parents stay at home?A.They prefer to look after children.B.They find it hard to find a job.C.They find it hard to pay for childcare.D.They are unwilling to work with senior citizens.3. Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping(塑造) children’s minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images ( 影像). Instead, they learn both explicit(明确的) and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned(受谴责) without considering other influences.1.B y watching TV, children learn .A.images through wordsB.more than explicit meaningsC.more about images than wordsD.little about people’s psychology2.Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?A.Radio-listeningB.Television-watchingC.Pare nts’ reading listD.Parents’ educational background3.Anderson believed that .A.the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB.the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC.the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD.the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school4.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To advise on the educational use of TV.B.To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.C.To explain traditional views on TV influences.D.To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.4.Artificial intelligence (AI) is making it possible for companies to monitor workers’ behavior in great detail and in real time. Start to slack off (懈怠）, and AI could talk to your boss.One company offering such services is London-based start-up Status Today. Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data, including everything from the files you access when you use a keyboard.
