Eating a whole pie can be hard if you have just finished a meal. Next, it is helpful to like the pieyou are going to cat. The cream types are a good choice. They slide down the throat more easily.

A few methods can help to attract birds to a garden.All birds depend on plants for shelter and food. So as a general rule. the more plants in the yard, the more birds will come. They can turn to these plants when they need sleep and they canplay between plants. And remember that different birds need different plants. Therefore. we should try to plant a variety of plants in our garden in order to invite birds.Birds eat seed，fruit or insects. So the garden with such food is welcomed by the birds Besides, another sure way to attract birds to a garden is to provide water. The best way is to put water on the ground in the open. Most birds love to bathe and drink at this level. However, always remember they are very nervous all the time. Therefore，when they are drinking the water on the ground. You should keep a distance from them or they will never come and visit again. Questions:What is the main idea of the passage?What are the three general ways to attract birds?What are people encouraged to do when birds are drinking water in the yard?Questions are based on the following passage.【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】17.A.

Some parents asked, “Does the P.E. teacher know maths and English?If not, how is he supposed to tutor the students?” But there were still parents who believed P.E. teachers had more time to discipline the students since they didn’t have many classes.This concern is actually a “subject bias”, that is, choosing a P.E. teacher as the head-teacher is not good for the students’ grades since he doesn’t know Chinese, maths, or English. It is acceptable for Chinese teachers, maths teachers and English teachers to be head-teachers because these subjects are important to entrance exams and scores. Such a concern reflects parents’ anxiety in the current educational environment, which tends to link the head-teacher’s responsible subject with the facts whether the school cares about the class and the children’s performances in the subject.Many people care about their kids’ academic performances only. They don’t care about their kids’ P.E. performance at all. Even if kids have P.E. classes, parents care little. P.E. teachers are in humble position and their classes are often occupied by other teachers. Of course, if students, P.E. performance is related to grades and entrance exams, parents won’t mind “a P.E. teacher being the head-teacher”.At the moment, P.E. is gradually included in entrance exams.In terms of high school entrance examination,Guangzhouwill launch a new high school entrance exam which includes P.E. performance and Health examination in 2021, raising the score to 70 points.In terms of the college entrance examination, universities having the right of independent enrollments added P.E. tests to their entrance exams in 2019. This practice is seen as an important signal that the assessment of physical fitness and athletic ability, which are important aspects of a student’s overall quality, may be included in the college entrance examination in the future.We hope that it’s a trend for P.E. teachers, music teachers and art teachers to become head-teachers.4. By saying “My P.E. teacher taught me maths”, what does the author intend to show us?A. It is just a joke that seldom happened in reality.B. P.E. teachers hardly assist students in maths.C. P.E. teachers are good at teaching maths..D. Parents doubt the ability of P.E. teacher.5. We can infer from paragraph 2 that a P.E. teacher .A. is of little benefit for students’ academic performanceB. is humbler than Chinese, math or English teachersC. reflects whether the school cares about the classD. gets unfairly judged due to the current educational system6. Why doesGuangzhouraise proportion of P.E. performance in high school entrance examination?A. To raise students’ awareness of physical health.B. To call on parents to pay attention to P.E. teachers.C. To test the overall ability of high school students.D. To make P.E. teachers equal with other teachers.7. What opinion does the author hold towards P.E. teachers working as head-teachers?A. Neutral.B. Unexpected.C. Supportive.D. Critical.CJose Hernandez made his dream of becoming an astronaut a reality and he did so despite unbelievable difficulties“I was workingin a field near Stockton, and I heard on my radio that Franklin Chang-Diaz had been selected for the Astronaut Corps," said Jose, who was a senior in high school at the timed was already interested in science and engineering, Jose remembered, "but that was the moment I said, "I want to fly in space.'

They would then return to Mexico for Christmas and start the cycle all over again in the spring. "Some kids might think it would be fun to travel like that,“ Jose laughed, "but we had to work”.After graduating from high school, Jose was admitted into the University of the Pacific, In 1987, he accepted a full-time job with Lawrence National Laboratory. In 2001, Jose joinedtheJohnson Space Center, where he came face-to-face with Franklin Chang-Diaz.“We actually had common experiences —asimilar upbringing, the same language issues. That built up myconfidence. Any barriers that existed, he had already overcome them.” Jose smiled. "Now it's my tum!,,“NASA rejected me not once, not twice, not three times but 11 times. It wasn't until the 12th time that I got selected, he said. Jose was selected as part of the 19th class of astronauts in 2004. He circled the globe 217 times but remains a down to Earth guy.Jose Hernandez received the 2016 National Hispanic Hero Award and he continues his long history in the field of engineering and space.8.

Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia was able to garden in the city.“My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don’t have a yard,” said Maria.Mrs. Garcia laughed. “I’ll show you,” she said.Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof. When the door opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.“What a wonderful garden!” said Maria.Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.“I plant flowers in my own place,” Mrs. Garcia said, “but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here. Some people grow vegetables just like your mom. You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside. You just have to be creative!”12. Where did Mrs. Garcia take Maria to one day?A. The park.B. The roof.C. The garden in front of her house.D. The countryside.13. Which of the following is NOT the good side of the community garden?A. It made the building stronger.B.

choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.People generally see themselves through achievements.In doing that,they end up caring more about their image than the reality of who they actually are.Rather than their work doing the talking,they end up defining themselves by external markers that they hope will earn them respect.The problem with this is that it encourages both themselves and other people to judge their worth based on some relatively unimportant measure.For example,one day,their educational diploma may overshadow what they actually learned.Therefore,a better way to know a person,I think,is to ask a different set of questions:What motivates them?What makes them ache?What do they long for?It’s in this spirit that I want to publicly share my values.They are the compass(罗盘)that guides my life.The kindest and most sincere thing I can do is to see,recognize,and understand another person before I make judgments.From there,I can learn to treat others appropriately, depending on the context,learning from my mistakes with time and experience.It’s just a reminder that life is hard for all of us,while at the same time accepting that it’s important we are all also held accountable for our actions.I have learned that we are all deeply self-interested.I hope to be self-aware enough to check out of the power and status games.That means I’m not competing with anyone for a shiny object; I’d rather compete with myself.It’s about becoming so uniquely different that it would be an insult for me to measure myself against someone else.I believe if I do the work to be internally free from the pull of the power and status games,then I can add value to others based on my unique knowledge and experience.If this resonates with(与……共鸣)you,I invite you to join me on this journey in understanding and relating to this complex world.It’s a wonderful mystery,and I think together we can better define it — not just personally,but also collectively.56.According to the article,which of the following is TRUE?A.The external markers are better ways to know a person.B.People generally judge others’worth by what they have achieved.C.The author is someone who is keen on power games.D.Learning from mistakes is the first step of treating others kindly.57.What does the underlined word“overshadow”probably mean?A.be relatively similar toB.cause something to be stronger thanC.make something less importantD.block off light from something58.What of the following might the author agree with?A.Life is hard,so we shouldn’t criticize others when they are not responsible.B.One should overcome self-interest in order to judge others objectively.C.Everyone is unique,so showing off uniqueness is an insult to others.D.One should see and understand another person using a real compass.59.Why does the author write the article?A.To promote harmonious living.B.To ask people not to judge others.C.To call on readers to learn his values.D.To share his values of understanding the world.There are two types of science projects:Models and Experiments.Here is the difference between the two:Even though you can learn a lot from building a model or display,we recommend that you do an experiment!Why?Well,they are fun,they are more interesting and most of all,they take you through the SCIENTIFIC METHOD,which is the way real scientists investigate in real science labs.Besides that,the scientific method is what the judges are looking for!60.Which of the following science projects might be recommended by the guide?A.How swallows build their nests.B.What the solar system consists of.C.The three dances bees use to communicate.D.What structure can hold the most amount of weight.61.According to the guide,which of the following is TRUE?A.A model or a display is a great choice for the science fair.B.A Hypothesis goes before a Question in doing an experiment.C.What tells an experiment from a model is whether to test something.D.The judges will instruct the scientific method before the science fair.62.Who will be most interested in reading this guide?A.Undergraduate students.B.Parents who have young kids.C.Staff working in the science labs.D.Judges invited to a science fair.(C)Getting active in midlife could be as good for you as starting young when it comes to reducing the risk of an early death,researchers have suggested.But experts say the study also shows that the benefits fade once exercise declines.“If you maintain an active lifestyle or participate in some sort of exercise from youth to middle age,you can reduce your risk for dying,”said Dr.Pedro Saint-Maurice,the lead author of the research.“If you are not active and you get to your40s-50s and you decide to become active, you can still enjoy a lot of those benefits.”The study was based on data from more than300,000Americans aged50-71who undertook a questionnaire(问卷)in the late-1990s.They were asked to recall the extent of their moderate to vigorous leisure exercise at different stages of their life.Researchers then used national records to track who died in the years up to the end of2016.After taking into account factors including age, sex,smoking and diet,the team found that those who were exercising into middle age had a lower risk of death than those who had never carried out any leisure exercise.However,when the team looked at different patterns in the way people were active over their life,it found a surprise.Men and women who started exercising at the age of40-50reduced their risk of death from any cause by about35%.The benefit was similar to that seen for people who reached and maintained similar activity from their teens or20s onwards.However,the study found that the protective effect of exercise did not last forever.People whose levels of leisure exercise decreased by middle age had no difference in the risk of an early death to those who had always been couch potatoes.“If you have been active and you slowly decrease your exercise participation as you age,you lose a lot of the benefits that we know are associated with exercise,”Saint-Maurice said.But the study has limitations,including that it is based on individuals recalling how active they were many years before.What’s more,the research looked only at death records,not other aspects of health such as levels of sickness and disease.Nonetheless,he said,the message was positive.“This adds to the growing body of evidence about the importance of physical activity and exercise across the life course,and indicates that it is never too late to start.”63.Which of the following is TRUE about the study?A.The study took about two decades to complete.B.The study involved around30,000elderly Americans.C.Questionnaires and interviews were the sources of data.D.The participants in the study took regular physical exercise.64.According to the passage,what does“a surprise”(Para.3)refer to?A.The earlier you exercise,the greater your health benefits will be.B.Participating in exercise from youth to middle age benefits one’s health greatly.C.The benefit of getting active in midlife is similar to that of starting young.D.The benefits of exercising in midlife will decline once you stop exercising.65.It can be inferred from the passage that____________.A.an active lifestyle will not necessarily bring positive health benefitsB.participants’memories may affect the reliability of the study resultC.people exercising from their teens can maintain health foreverD.women benefit more from vigorous exercise than men do66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Exercise has its limitations,studies showB.Getting active when young,experts suggestC.Health benefits fade with age,doctors warnD.Never too old to start,researchers saySection C（8分）Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.As animals learn to relax in the presence of humans,they may become bolder in other situations.B.This massive amount of ecotourism can be one of the drivers of rapid environmental change.C.The phenomena result from evolutionary changes,but also from regular interactions with humans.D.Do not import or release living animals or plants into the wild that could harm native species.E.In many cases it involves close interaction with wildlife.F.Interacting with people can cause great change in the characteristics of various species over time.Ecotourism can put wild animals at riskEcotourism has become increasingly popular in recent years.______67_____There travelers visit natural environments to fund conservation efforts or promote local economies.Now,scientists have analyzed more than100research studies on how ecotourism affects wild animals.They find the presence of humans changes the way animals behave,and those changes may put them at risk.Therefore,they concluded that such trips can be harmful to the animals.When animals interact in seemingly kind ways with humans,they may let down their guard. ______68_____If this transfers to their interactions with predators(捕食者),they are more likely to be injured or killed.The presence of humans can also discourage natural predators.It creates a kind of safe place for smaller animals that may make them bolder.For example,in Grand Teton National Park,elk and pronghorns in areas with more tourists are less alert and spend more time eating.______69_____“If animals become accustomed to tourists and if tourism practices enhance this taming,we might create unintended consequences—affecting the behavior or population of a species and influencing the species'function in its community,”the researchers write.Ecotourism has effects similar to those of animal domestication and urbanization.Research has shown that domesticated silver foxes become more obedient and less fearful.Fox squirrels and birds that live in urbanized areas are slower to flee from danger.______70_____ Scientists hope the new analysis will encourage more research into the interactions between people and wildlife.It is essential to develop further understanding of how various species in various situations respond to human interaction and under what conditions human exposure may place them at risk.IV.Summary writing（10分）71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.High level of deforestation continuesWe are all aware of the threats our planet is facing.Experts agree that it’s mainly us humans who are responsible for the destruction of the environment.One of the most destructive activities we are carrying out is cutting down forests—deforestation.This is done for many reasons,such as providing wood for fuel,making land available for housing or for creating space for more cattle to graze(吃草)on.This has been most noticeable in Brazil,which is home to the world’s largest rainforest.Deforestation there has hit its highest rate in a decade,according to official data. Over the course of a year,an area about five times the size of London has been destroyed.The amount of deforestation in the Amazon and in other tropical(热带的)regions has actually seen a decline but the figures are still large.Global Forest Watch say that in2018,an area equivalent to30football fields were cut down every minute.Frances Seymour from the World Resources Institute says that“If you look back over the last18years,it is clear that the overall trend is still upwards.We are nowhere near winning this battle.”What’s special about places like the Amazon is that they are primary forests which exist in their original condition with some species of trees dating back thousands of years.This habitat is home to unique and rare animals and is critical for sustaining biodiversity(生物多样性).The BBC’s environment correspondent,Matt McGrath,says“These old forests really matter as stores of carbon dioxide,which is why the loss of3.6million hectares in2018is concerning.”Brazil has taken some steps to try and decrease deforestation by introducing government policies including fines for breaking land use regulations and illegal logging.And International campaigns to stop the trade of soy and beef farmed on deforested parts of the Amazon have also had a significant impact.V.Translation（15分）Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets. 72．应该高度重视对这种常见病的预防。

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.An artificial intelligence can accurately translate thoughts into sentences, at least for a limited vocabulary of 250 words. The system may bring us a step closer to ___41____ speech to people who have lost the ability.Joseph Makin at the University of California, San Francisco, and his colleagues used deep learning algorithms(算法) to study the brain ___42___ of four women as they spoke.

The largest group of sentences ___44___ 250 unique words. The team fed this brain activity to a network algorithm related to nerves, training it to ___45___ regularly occurring patterns that could be linked to repeated aspects of speech. These patterns were then fed to a second network, which tried to turn them into words to ____46____ a sentence.Each woman repeated the sentences at least twice, and the final repetition didn’t form part of the training data, ___47___ the researchers to test the system.Each time a person speaks the same sentence, the brain activity associated will be similar but not exactly the sane. “Memori z ing the brain activity of these sentences wouldn’t help, ___48___ the network instead has to learn what’s sim ilar about them so that it can generalize to this final example,” says Makin. Across the four women, the AI’s best performance was an average translation error rate of 3 per cent.Makin says that using a small number of sentences made it ___49___ for the AI to learn which words tend to follow others.

Nollywood is known mainly for its comedies and dramas. but we are increasingly seeing horror movies and musicals.Although sometimes heavily criticized for low production values. Nollywood continues to grow fans worldwide. Nigerian movies now make up 11% of Nigeria's non-oil exports! The average movie is produced in 7-10 days on a budget between ￡7,000-12,000 (Hollywood's average is around ￡60 million per movie with one year production time).This is changing. however, as more filmmakers are receiving proper training and are aiming to make films up to the international standard.56.

Concentrate on them and don't forget you have the entire Internet at your fingertips, friend!2. Model vulnerability. Say the thing that frightens or worries you. like “I'm afraid nobody will go to my party,”or“I miss my grandma every day.”Doing so will make it easier for other people to follow your lead. We are all on the elevator to a society where emotional availability is normalized, and I want you to press “door open”.3. Ask more questions. People sometimes feel they might be prying (爱打听的) if they ask someone about themselves-especially when their friend is sharing something tough. But if you get curious in moments of vulnerability you will open the door to all kinds of growth in your relationship. Take the opportunity to really see your friend and show them they matter by following up.4. Get close with the children in your life. Way's research says that the top priority that helps children (especially boys) grow up to have enriching friendships is to be close with an adult relative who was not afraid to express emotions. So. if you are a father. stepfather. or thinking about becoming one. or if you have nieces or nephews, take the opportunity to be close to them and help them grow up to be good friends, too.60. What is the common concept of being a man?A. To have no friends at all.B. To maintain friendships.C. Not to show true feelings.D. Not to hurt others aggressively.61. Which is NOT recommended according to the passage?A. A man should show his vulnerability in front of his fellows.B. A man should accept and normalize people's desire in his life.C. A man should take the opportunity to be close to child relatives.D. A man should show his friends they matter by asking questions.62. What might be the best title of the passage?A. Ways to Help Men Have Friendship.B. How to Express True Feelings.C. Ways to Become a True Man.D. How to Be Brave to Have Friends.(C)No student of a foreign language needs to be told that grammar is complex. By changing the order of the words and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs (助动词) ,we are able to communicate variations in meaning. We can turn a statement into a question,state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place,and perform other word tricks to convey delicate differences in meaning. Besides. grammar is universal and plays a part in every language. no matter how widespread it is. So the question which has confused many linguists is: who created grammar?At first, this question would appear impossible to answer. To find out how grammar is created. someone needs to be present at the time of a language's creation, documenting its emergence. Some linguists are able to trace modern complex languages back to earlier languages, but to know the forming of complex languages,the researcher needs to observe how languages are started from scratch. Amazingly, however, this is possible.Some recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. At that time. slaves from different nations were forced to work together. Since they could not learn each other's languages. they developed a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowners. Little grammar is found in them. and in many cases it is difficult or a listener to infer when an event happened, and who did what to whom. Speakers need to use circumlocution (迁回曲折的说法) in order to make themselves understood. Interestingly. however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it. Slave children did not simply copy words from their elders, they adapted them to create a language. It included new word orders and grammatical markers. Complex grammar systems merging from pidgins are termed creoles, which are invented by children.Some linguists believe that many of the world's most established languages were creoles at first. The -ed ending in English past tense may have evolved from “did”,“It ended”,which was first used by kids, may once have been “It end-did”. Therefore. it would appear that even the most widespread languages were partly created by children. Children appear to have been born with grammatical machinery in their brains. which can serve to create logical, complex structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy.63. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A. Language learners know that grammar is of complexity.B. One cal do a lot with his good command of grammar.C. Grammar is both complex and universal in languages.D Linguists face a question in creating confusing grammars64. The underlined expression “from scratch” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________A. from the very beginningB. in ancient culturesC. by copying something elseD. by using written information65. What can be inferred about the slaves' pidgin language?A. It contained a complex grammar system.B. It was first created by the slaves' landowners.C. It was based on a lot of different languages.D. It was difficult to understand, even among slaves.66. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. The English past tense system is inaccurate.8. English was probably once a kind of creole.C. Linguists have proven that English was created by children.D. Children use English past tenses differently from adults.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.A period of important agricultural development began in the early 1700s in Great Britain and the Low Countries(Belgium, Luxembourg. and the Netherlands, which lie below sea level). (67)________One of the most important of these developments was an improved horse-drawn seed drill invented by Jethro Tull in England. Until that time. farmers sowed seeds by hand. Tull's drill made rows of holes for the seeds. By the end of the 18th century, seed drilling was widely practiced in Europe. Many other machines were developed in the United States. (68)_______ At about the same time. John and Hiram Pitts introduced a horse-powered thresher (脱粒机) that shortened the process of separating grain and seed from straw. John Deere's steel plow (犁), introduced in 1837,made it possible to work the tough soil with much less horsepower.Along with new machines. there were several important advances in selective farming. By selectively breeding animals (breeding those with desirable traits), farmers increased the size and productivity of their livestock. Plants could also be selectively bred for certain qualities. In 1866, Gregor Mendel's studies in heredity (遗传) were published in Austria. (69)_______ His work paved the way for improving crops through genetics.New crop planting methods also evolved during this time. Many of these were adopted over the next century or so throughout Europe. For example. the Norfolk four-field system, developed in England. proved quite successful. Itinvolved the yearly rotation (轮作) of several crops, including wheat, turnips, barley, clover, and ryegrass. (70)________ Moreover, this method enabled farmers to grow enough to sell some of their harvest without having to leave any land unplanted.Not all parts of the world benefited from these developments instantly. however. Farmers in other parts such as Australia and Africa continued to use old ways of agriculture for a long time.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Now,it may seem strange to learn from someone who writes about pretty dresses every day,but:you don't have to be pretty and you don't have to spare no effort to be pretty just to please others.You don't have to feel bothered for your plain looking that makes you unnoticed. After all, every one of us,whether charming or not, is a drop in the ocean and you don't owe prettiness to anyone.Admittedly, I'm not saying that you shouldn't be pretty if you want to.Being pretty is pleasant,fun,refreshing and satisfying.making people feel delighted and smile at you unconsciously.But in terms of importance,prettiness stands several steps down from happiness,is way below health,and if done as an obligation,can be far away from independence.But what does you-don't-have-to-be-pretty mean in everyday terms?It means you don't have to blame your parents for not giving you the world-desired appearance and that you don't have to apologize for wearing things that arc held to be "unflattering" or "unfashionable"-especially if, in fact,they make you happy on some level deeper than just being pretty does.As long as you are clean,covered enough,and have bandaged any open wounds.you can wear any color or style you please,holding your heads high. if it makes you happy.Prettiness,it's sad to say,can have a shelf life.It's so tied up with youth that,at some point (if you're lucky),you're going to have to graduate from prettiness,sometimes before you know it.But you won't even get there if you think you have to follow all the signs that say "this way to prettiness". You get there by travelling the route you find most interesting.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.她感觉太无聊了，于是把这本杂志从头到尾看了一遍。

2020届邯郸市第四中学高三英语二模试题及答案解析
2020届邯郸市第四中学高三英语二模试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（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AObesity (肥胖症) is becoming a problem in our busy society, and almost one in three American adults is now considered to be obese. Children obesity is alsoat an all-time high.Obesity means being very overweight. If you are obese, you have too much bodyfat. If you eat more food than your body can use, this will make you put on weight. Food that your body does not need will be stored as fat by your body.The following are the major factors that increase the risk of obesity.What you eat plays a major role in weight gain. Eating a lot of fast food such as hamburgers, sweet drinks, ice creams and other sweet food can increase the risk of becoming obese.If you do not do enough exercise, you will put on weight as the food you eat is not being used to make energy for physical activities.The chances of you being obese are greater if your parents are obese.There are many psychological factors that cause people to eat too much. People who are worried, unhappy or bored will often eat to make themselves feel better. This is known as comfort eating.Age is another factor, as you tend (趋于) to be less active when you get older. When you get older, you need to eat less, and if you do not eat less, you will put on weight. Obesity can cause many health problems such as heart problems, high blood pressure and many other serious medical conditions.1. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means that ____.A. obesity does not do harm to health.B. there are more obese children than before.C. all the American children are obese.D. there are less obese children in the USA.2. According to the passage, there are ____ major factors that increase the risk of obesity.A. threeB. fourC. fiveD. six3. What will the writer most probably talk about after the last paragraph?A. How to avoid obesity.B. How to live in the busy USA.C. What illnesses are caused by obesity.D. How doctors treat heart problems.BBill Gates on how to fight future pandemicsWHEN HISTORIANS write the book on the covid-19 pandemic, what we've lived through so far will probably take up only the first third or so.The bulk of the story will be what happens next.I believe that humanity will beat this pandemic, but only when most of the population is vaccinated(接种疫苗）.Until then, life will not return to normal.As the pandemic slows in developed nations,itwill accelerate in developing ones.Their experience,however,will be worse.In poorer countries,where fewer jobs can be done remotely,distancing measures won't work as well.The virus will spread quickly,and health systems won't be able to care for the infected.Wealthy nations can help.But people in rich and poor places alike will be safe only once we have an effective medical solution for this virus,which means a vaccine.My hope is that,by the second half of 2021,facilities around the world will be manufacturing a vaccine.If that's the case,it will be a history-making achievement: the fastest humankind has ever gone from recognizing a new disease to immunizing（免疫）against it.Apart from this progress in vaccines,two other big medical breakthroughs will emerge from the pandemic.One will be in the field of diagnostics.The next time a novel virus crops up,people will probably be able to test for it at home.Researchers could have such a test ready within a few months of identifying a new disease.The third breakthrough will be in antiviral drugs.We haven't been as effective at developing drugs to fight viruses as we have those to fight bacteria.But that will Researchers will develop large diverse libraries of antivirals,which they'll be able to scan trough and quickly find effective treatments for novel viruses.All three technologies will prepare us for the next pandemic by allowing us to intervene(干预）early when the number of cases is still very low.Our progress won't be in science alone.It will also be in our ability to make sure everyone benefits from that science.In the years after 2021,I think we'll learn from the years after 1945. With the end of the Second World War, leaders built international institutions like the UN to prevent more conflicts.After covid-19, leaders will prepare institutions to prevent the next pandemic.These will be a mix of national,regional and global organizations.I expect they will participate in regular"germ games”in the same way as armed forces take part in War games.These will keep us ready for the next time a novel virus jumps from bats or birds to humans.I hope wealthy nations include poorer ones in these preparations,especially by devoting more foreign aid to building up their primary health-care systems.This pandemic has shown us that viruses don't obey border laws and that we are all connected biologically by a network of microscopic germs,whether we like it or not.The best analogy(类比）for today might be November 10th 1942.Britainhad just won its first land victory of the war,and Winston Churchill declared in a speech: “This is not the end.It is not even the beginning of the end.But it is,perhaps,the end of the beginning.”4. What are the three technologies that will prepare us for the next pandemic?①manufacturing a vaccine fast②diagnosing a virus at home③developing antiviral drugs④allowing us to intervene earlyA. ①②③B. ①②④C. ①③④D. ②③④5. As far as poorer countries areconcerned,which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A. pandemic disease is more likely to begin in poorer countriesB. Working from home can work well in poorer countries.C. Health systems are sufficient to care for the infected in poorer countries.D. Virus will cross borders if poorer countries fail to contain it.6. Why is the Second World War mentioned in Para.8?A. The fight against the COVID-19 is similar to the Second World War.B. People are suffering just as they were in the Second World War.C. We should cooperate globally just as we did after the Second World War.D. Countries are fighting each other like in the Second World War.7. What is the tone of this passage?A. pessimisticB. optimisticC. neutralD. indifferentCStarting at university or college can be a big challenge, especially if you’re living away from home for the first time. You arefaced with big questions such as, “Who’s going to do my washing?” “Who’s going to tidy my room?” And, most importantly, “How am I going to eat?” Yes, living on your own means cooking for yourself, and when you’re living a student lifestyle, this could be a recipe for disaster.Students, in the UK at least, often rely on generally available food such as baked beans or cheese on toast. And for the more adventurous, there’s “spag bol” — spaghetti bolognaise(肉酱意粉), that is, cooked spaghetti served with a ground beef and tomato sauce — a budget-friendly solution. If you make a huge pan of it, it can probably last you a whole week! Other low-cost options include jar sauces and oven pizzas.Recently, a British supermarket suggested that rose harissa paste, organic cider vinegar and Swiss bouillon powder were the important food materials needed for the “student cupboard”. But are these items considered essential and affordable for someone on a budget?As a matter of fact, living on a budget is certainly one barrier to eating a well-balanced diet. What’s more, some young people don’t know much about cooking, and for many young students, there are more fun things to go and do than just stay inside and cook. That’s where takeaways and microwave meals come in.What should a health-conscious student really have in his or her food cupboard? Jack Monroe, a food writer and campaigner, has words to say: baked beans, lemon juice, canned tomatoes and tomato ketchup, described as “salt, sugar, vinegar and tomato all in one handy squeezy bottle”. And should that not appeal, you can always wait till your next visit to your mum and dad for a square meal!8. What does the author indicate by “this could be a recipe for disaster”?A. Cooking is difficult for a student.B. Students must cook if they live alone.C. It is important to live independently.D. Learning to cook will cause disasters.9. What is the feature of “spag bol”?A. It is delicious.B. It is healthy.C. It saves money.D. It needs little skill.10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How well-balanced diets can be realized.B. How students can eat healthily with limited money.C. Why living on a budget is common among students.D Why students choose takeaways and microwave meals.11. Why does the author write the last paragraph?A. To advocate visiting parents.B. To offer some tips.C. To promote health consciousness.D. To introduce a writer.DThe outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.12. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.13. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?A. It is boring to make comments.B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.14. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.15. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
