If you are taking a baby, which one may suit you best?A. ManhauseaB. Cedar Lakes Estate.C. Soho Farmhouse.D. Salt House Inn.22. What is special about Soho Farmhouse?A. Water scenery.B. Limited access.C. Outdoor activities.D. Family-style meals.23. Where is this text most probably taken from?A. A magazine.B. A brochure.C. A textbook.D. A website.BAs an air force pilot, Jim McGee flew 471 missions and earned three Distinguished Flying Crosses. But after Jim retired, he was diagnosed with a serious disease of kidney（肾）, and transplants（移植）were urgently needed. Jim’swife, Shirley McGee, was a match but her kidney function was not strong enough. Four family friends offered but no one was a match. Desperate, Shirley had T-shirts made up that said “I am in need of a donor.” Her husband would wear one whenever he went downtown. No luck.In early 2018, Jim attended a reunion of some fellow airmen, where he reunited with Doug Coffman. Jim told Doug and his other comrades about his disease. With the same blood type, Doug thought he might be able to help. Within a month of their Air Force reunion, Doug underwent five days of all checks and was cleared for major testing. Jim was grateful but didn’t want to get his hopes up. “Until I heard the final result that yes, he was an absolute match, I didn’t want to get too crazy,” Jim said. “Because the letdown is severe.”The testing revealed Doug’s tissue type matched Jim’s. Finally the doctors gave Doug the OK to donate. On September 18, 2018, Jim, following Doug, went into surgery. The transplant was a success. “It’s pretty miraculous to be able to take a living organ out of one person’s body, then put it in another person’s body, and have it work,” Doug said. “And there’s nothing finer than knowing I’ve helped another person live a better life.”24. Why did Jim wear specially designed T-shirts?A. To find a possible donor.B. To let out his disappointment.C. To raise Shirley’s spirits.D. To have fun in the downtown.25. Which of the following best describes Doug?A. Warm-hearted.B. Hand-working.C. Strong-minded.D. Peace-loving.26. How did Jim feel when getting the major testing result?A. Eager to go into surgery.B. Afraid the final result may be disappointing.C. Grateful and full of hope.D. So thrilled that he cou ldn’t exp ress himself.27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Giving Brings People HappinessB. Transplants Are Hope to PatientsC. Success Goes to the Strong-willedD. Two Airmen Share an Unusual BondCPlease take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel good to say it out loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfieduntil you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes tike this: 163 people across four separate tests-everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment to this goal to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.28. What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Completion of the goal.B. Necessary hard work.C. People’s acknowledgement.D. A sense of satisfaction.29. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.30. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal?A. By giving figures.B. By giving examples.C. By making a survey.D. By making comparison tests.31. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?A. You will be more confidentB. You will not gain satisfaction.C. You are less likely to realize it.D. You’ll be much more motivated.DPolice recently caught the suspected Golden State Killer using a tool they could only have dreamed of decades ago, when a shocking series of murders shook California: a database filled with people’s genetic (基因) data.Police used an open-source database called GEDmatch to find relatives who matched genetic material taken from an old crime scene, then worked backward to identify and catch 72-year-old former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo.GEDmatch’s 950, 000 users voluntarily upload and share their genetic information, making it accessible to others who share their own data — including law enforcement (执法). More than a dozen other similar platforms also exist. “If your relatives have contributed and you are part of even a family tree that appears online in one of these shared resources, you can be indirectly tracked through the combination of their DNA and the publicly available family history,” says Dr. Robert Green, a medical geneticist at Harvard Medical School.Data sent to commercial companies like 23andMe, which has over 5 million customers, is much tougher for outsiders to access, but the case has still highlighted the issue of genetic privacy.Although many genetic-testing companies have been asked to cooperate with legal investigations, and clearly warncustomers of this possibility, not all requests are honored. “23andMe has never given customer information to law-enforcement officials, ” a company representative told TIME.The risks of keeping such sensitive data private are high. The potential for abuse exists; for example, insurance companies could theoretically use genetic data to refuse coverage (保险项目), Green says. But the systems in place to prevent misuse appear to be working. One is the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, a 2008 law that protects consumers from employment and insurance discrimination related to genetics. As long as that’s the case, Green says, the good of genetic tests outweighs the bad.Sharon Zehe, a lawyer for the department of laboratory medicine and pathology at the Mayo Clinic, takes a more cautious approach. “Family tree services can be fun, but make sure you are using a reputable organization that has strong privacy policies in place, ” she says. “Genetic data is biologically as important as a fingerprint.”32. Who is the Golden State Killer?A. Robert Green.B. Joseph James De Angelo.C. The author.D. Sharon Zehe.33. What drives the users to upload their genetic data?A. The Police’s force.B. Their relatives’ advice.C. The boss’s order.D. Their own willingness.34. Who might misuse customers’ genetic data?A. The police.B. GED match.C. Insurance companies.D. 23andMe.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Genetic data is equal to a fingerprint.B. A 72-year-old killer was put into prison.C. Murders causes concern for genetic privacy.D. Genetic information is shared on the Internet.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Winter Adventures Await in the Canadian RockiesAlberta is the top destination for the outdoor wonderland experiences and the chilly winter is the hottest season of the year for you to adventure in the most beautiful,magical,powerful places on the planet and keeps you coming back.Here are tips for experiencing some of the best adventures winter has to offer in Alberta.Hit the slopesSet deep in what's widely regarded as the world's most scenic ski area at Banff National Park,the Lake Louise Ski Resort invites everyone from first-timers to advanced shredders to its4,200acres of skiable area.Climb a frozen waterfallJasper National Park,part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage site,has an area of6,759square miles of mountains,glacial peaks and forests.Rivers lead to steep falls,which freeze into ice climbs as early as October and valley climbs form just a month later.While experienced climbers can cope with the frozen waterfalls without a guide,beginners need not shy away:basic training courses are offered for free.Blaze a trail in the snowThe Athabasca Glacier is an ancient relic among the massive Columbia Ice field.While it's recommended to access the glacier only with an experiencedguide,the area surrounding it offers cross-country snowshoeing trails that lead to it.No matter your mode of transport,this area is one of the darkest in Canada,which means the night sky provides a perfect backdrop for the dancing northern lights-so dress extra warm and struggle through the deep snow to glimpse one of nature's most colorful wonders.Hidden gemThe month-long Snow-Day festival takes over Banff National Park each January.Cultural and sporting events,including ice carving and the Big Bear ski and rail competition,unfold throughout the event,but the real treat comes at the start,when live music fills the streets during the party,and a beer garden and ice fire pit keep the tourists warm.The most splendid winter sunset can be seen throughout Alberta.As Mike Libecki,a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year,says,Alberta is one that keeps him coming back.1.What is a unique activity in the Jasper National Park?A.Adventuring in the Canadian Rockies.B.Climbing the frozen waterfalls.C.Watching beautiful sunset.D.Skiing in the snow mountain.2.Which would be a destination for those who are eager to enjoy polar lights?A.Banff National ParkB.Jasper National ParkC.The Athabasca GlacierD.The Lake Louise Ski Resort3.When is the best time for tourists to visit Banff National Park?A.In early October.B.In late November.C.At the beginning of January.D.In the middleof December.4.What is Alberta most probably?A.It is a region full of tourist resources in Canada.B.It is the highest peak of the Canadian Rockies.C.It is a beautiful village surrounded by attractions.D.It is the biggest national park in Canada.BA few years back I worked in a university building that also housed an entire department full of psychologists,all of whom seemed to see us as perfectguinea pigs(实验对象）for their latest studies.I learned to be cautious about answering seemingly casual questions in the elevator.If one of them showed up in my office bearing a plate of snacks and asked me to pick some,I'd cast a doubtful glance and ask"Why?"before grabbing the apple fritter.So one day,when someone from the Psychology Department posted instructions in the bathroom advising us to think about five things you're grateful for every day for a week,my response was frankly suspicious.I did the math.Five things a day for seven days is a lot of brainpower to consume without so much as the promise of an apple fritter.I wandered into the office of Zetzer,the director of our school's Psychological Services Clinic.That was when I first heard the term"positive psychology"and discovered that＂the gratitude thing",as Heidi had explained it."It's only a week,"she urged."Try it.”So I did.I started looking for my five moments of gratitude in each day.By the end of that week,I found myself slowing down a little and taking time to notice things I might have walked past before,including a bunch of young students laughing together,They are so smart and optimistic,giving me so much hope for the future!I couldn't be more grateful to my wonderful husband.He's a great cook.He always puts our family first.My oldest son took his vacation to come and help out at home.He took me to all my medical appointments,and made me laugh by titling his spring break＂Driving Miss Leslie."The kindness of a colleague with a green thumb made sure my plants stayed alive until I could care for them again.Life will never be perfect,I still see news stories that distress me.But with just one simple exercise,I'm rediscovering the deep meaning of old sayings:accepting the things I cannot change,working to change what I can,and being wise enough to know the difference.And all it took was a little gratitude.5.Why did the author hesitate about the snacks offered by psychologists?A.She had no appetite for snacks.B.She didn't think snacks could show gratitude.C.She disliked those psychologists.D.She cared about what to be paid for them.6.What can we infer from the second paragraph of the passage?A.The instructions seemed to make sense to Leslie.B.No one would behave as the instructions suggested.C.Leslie had no intention of following the instructions.D.The psychologists were actually playing a joke.7.What did Leslie achieve at last?A.She overcame her psychological problem.B.She realized how hard it was to be grateful.C.She found Heidi was really a reliable doctor.D.She learned to be positive and show gratitude.CAs doctors performed surgery on Dagmar Turner's brain,the sound of a violin filled the operating room.The music came from the patient on the operating table.In a video from the surgery,the violinist was moving her bow(琴弓）up and down as surgeons behind a plastic sheet worked to remove her brain tumor(肿瘤）。

2020届高三英语模拟试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ASome of the world’s most talented musicians have played concerts atLincolnCenter. On September 10, the center hosted a unique class of star musicians: kids and teens. The young players are part of the World Peace Orchestra, or WPO. The group held its first Music for Peace concert inNew York City, with 134 students from more than 60 countries taking part. Musicians were chosen from all over the world.The World Peace Orchestra began in 2013. The nonprofit group brings kids together using the common language of music. To be considered for the orchestra, students first had to be recommended by their teachers and then audition online for a group of judges. Once chosen, professional musicians and teachers then worked with the players to improve their skills.Some of the young musicians played classical instruments, such as violins and flutes. Others played instruments unique to their home country. For example, Amold Mugo, 16, fromKenya, played an instrument called the djembe. The drum is originally fromWest Africa. Mugo said he was shocked when he learned he was chosen for the orchestra. “I can’t express how I felt. I was rolling on the floor. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said.Adomas Hendrixson, 13, fromLithuania, played piano for the WPO. Before theNew York Cityperformance, Hendrixson talked about what he hoped to take away from the event. “Fun and joy-- people smiling and clapping,” he said.“This is one of the only times in your life this could happen and I'm very excited.”Mugo says his favorite part of the WPO is making new friends from around the world. “I hope when I go home, I just take a little bit of every friend that I made here-- Brazil, Portugal, Queens,” Mugo said, “I hope that I take part of their culture home with me so I understand them more.”1. Who is most likely to have played for the WPO according to this passage?A. Li Ming, 16, a student fromChina.B. Daniel, 44, a judge fromAmerica.C. Edward, 21, a clerk fromAustralia.D. Catherine, 32, a teacher fromEngland.2. We can learn from the last paragraph that Mugo ________.A.performed best for the WPO.B. has learned some foreign culture.C. was eager to be chosen for a second time.D. received a great award for his performance.3. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Kids were good at playing music.B. Mugo liked making foreign friends.C. Concerts were played atLincolncentre.D. Young musicians played for peace.BWatching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what's on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adultsfor five years, splitting them into three categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) - meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health problems like heart conditions and diabetes.When the participants reported back five years later 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome — and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters. But that's not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, larger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.The researchers saygobblingmakes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signal you to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” said Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate less when told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing. Initial research even suggests chewing your food longer could bum more calories - up to about 1,000 extra every month.4. What are the participants divided by?A. Medical history.B. Health condition.C. Physical activity.D. Eating speed.5. Which may be the result of the study?A. Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome.B. Normal and slow eaters don’t have metabolic illness.C. 89% of fast eaters have higher blood pressure.D. Slow caters are healthier than fast eaters.6. What does the underlined word “gobbling” in Paragraph 4 best mean?A. Tasting slowly.B. Digesting quickly.C. Eating greedily.D. Cooking carefully.7. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. The importance of eating speed.B. The advantage of eating slowly.C. The result of a Chinese study.D. Fast eating and overeating.COne of the most popular street food found inChinais no doubt the barbecue. A new program, called Chinese Barbecue, tells the story of this popular food cooked over hot coals on just about every street corner in cities and towns across the country. Barbecued meat is an important part of people’s nightlife.Shown on June 20, the program has had more than 25 million clicks on the video site . To find the most popular barbecue stalls (摊位), the production team travelled to more than 500 locations in 30 cities across the country. Some viewers compare Chinese Barbecue to Midnight Diner, a Japanese TV program telling stories from late night informal Japanese bars.“I’m happy to hear this comparison because Midnight Diner is a good program, and we share the same topic― night food,” Chinese Barbecue’s director Chen Yingjie said. “However, they are quite different.” He said that Midnight Diner focused more on food itself, though there was someconversation while people were eating. However, the night food scene of Chinese people means joy and a more lively atmosphere. People eating these barbecue snacks develop a feeling of connection, which can be a cure for loneliness.The barbecue, regarded as the most ordinary and common night street snack, is different from home-made food by mothers as that is a symbol of family and kinship. The barbecue is where you go to become connected to people in society. And unlike official business lunches, during which people are rather polite, the barbecue lets people relax with old friends and new friends, leaving a lasting impression of friendship.The world, as a whole, holds deep-rooted good feelings toward the barbecue, either for the taste or thewarmth produced by fire. “What we should do is to present the Chinese barbecue just the way it is because with its special ingredients(食材)，ways of cooking and more importantly, the special environment and people, the world will recognize it and might fall in love with it just as we do.” said Chen.8.

However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realizedthatwas the least of his problems.Duran's problems began before he even stepped on a skateboard. He couldn't find anything for fat skaters. What Duran did find was a belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image(形象) of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz—a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters.

He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners.After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding. He has also been contacted by some skateboarding brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and beenoffered free equipment by skating organizations like "Skate Like a Giri ".Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to remove body image stereotypes(刻板印象).“I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strengths and sizes—everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available," he explains.For those hesitant of taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say:“Be kind to yourself. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you can't be it.”12. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The skateboard.B. His hobby.C. His ability.D. The time.13.
