高考英语一模试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe Perfect Sleep Chair is designed to be the most comfortable recliner chair．Whether you are sitting upright，relaxing in your favorite TV viewing position，or lying completely flat for sleeping，it's like being on a cloud．A cloud that has built-in heat and massage settings to match your own personal comfort level．It even has a battery backup in case of a power cut．With Perfect Sleep Chair，there's a perfect position for everybody，even those that prefer to lie flat but want the additional support that most mattresses（垫子）don't provide．At the touch of a button，the Perfect Sleep Chair gently lifts you to an almost standing position so you can get back on your feet with ease．Some owners use this feature daily，while others use it when recovering from an illness．Time and time again，our customers tell us they are tired of having to replace their recliners due to quality issues．We hear you!

It is safe．B. It is lasting．C. It is portable．D. It is comfortable．3.What service can customers receive？______A. Home delivery．B. Free replacement．C. A 24-hour hotline．D. A money-back guarantee．BIn the short time Steve and Zach had been inside their tent packing their tools，wind-blown flame had skipped from the top of one tree to another．The long dry summer had turned the forest into a tinderbox．"Let's go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!" Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind．But Brady barked a sharp warning．Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track．They would never make it through that．The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke，and yet Steve was uneasy．It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river．Suddenly，Zach cried．"Zach!" Steve shouted．"Are you OK？Where are you？" Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope（坡）．At its base，Zach was rubbing his ankle．As Steve helped his friend to his feet，Brady lifted his head and snuffed（嗅）thesmoke-laden wind．Next moment，the dog bounded away and disappeared．The boys shouted for him，but he didn't come back．Steve couldn't blame Brady for panicking．He himself wanted to run even though he didn't have a clue which way．Steve and Zach hadn't gone far when there was a familiar bark，and Brady came bounding，stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head，pushing him back toward the slope they'd just climbed．But Steve didn't get it．Then Brady grabbed the boy's jeans and started pulling．The message was clear，but Steve hesitated．Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle's life when the dog was much younger．Was he still sharp enough to get them through this？Nearby，a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke．Brady pulled again，urgently．"OK，big guy，" Steve gritted（咬紧牙关）．Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees．Not far from them fire was touching underbrush．Several times the big dog stopped．Often he changed directions．Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest，but Brady wouldn't have it．The dog bullied both boys to go on．How long they'd walked Steve had no idea．He was almost numb when he heard it-the wonderful sound of rushing water!4.What happened to Steve and Zach at first？______A. They got injured．B. They lost their dog．C. They were trapped．D. They became separated．5.Brady ran away to ______ ．A. seek helpB. find a way outC. rescue ZachD. escape for life6.How did Steve feel after Brady pulled his jeans？______A. Uneasy．B. Impatient．C. Numb．D. Uncertain．7.The passage basically describes ______ ．A. an adventureB. an explorationC. an escape gameD. a training programCMost groups of plants and animals are richer in species and more plentiful near the equator．In the ocean，that holds true for cold-blooded predators（掠食者）．But warm-blooded predators are more diverse toward the poles and noticeably missing from several warm hot spots．Why？John Grady，an ecologist，and his team considered the possibility-warm-blooded animals need a lot to fuel their metabolism（新陈代谢）．Perhaps colder waters are just richer in small fish？But they found that at higher，colder places，there isn't actually much more food around．It's more that warm-blooded animals are eating a much bigger share of it than their cold-blooded competitors．The real explanation is simple．An animal's speed，swiftness，and intelligence depend on its metabolism，which in turn depends on its temperature．Since birds and mammals can keep heating their bodies in icy conditions，they remain fast and attentive．By contrast，the fish they hunt become slower and duller．At some tipping point of temperature，seals，dolphins，and penguins start outswimming their prey（猎物）．They become more likely to come upon targets and outpace the cold-blooded predators of their own．In Grady's words，"Warm-bodied predators are favoured where preys are slow，stupid and cold．" That's why sharks and other predatory fish dominate near the equator，but colder waters are the kingdom of whales and seals．By keeping food to themselves in the poles，these creatures can then specialize on specific types of prey，which makes them more likely to split into separate species．The killer whales of the North Pacific，for example，include mammal-eating transients and fish-eating，year-round residents．But the world is changing．It's likely that the surface of the oceans will warm by 2 to 3℃within this century．Grady's team estimates that every time the ocean's surface warms by 1℃，populations of sea mammals will fall by 12%，and populations of seals and sea lions will fall by 24%．But "predictions are hard，" Donna Hauser from the University of Alaska Fairbanks notes．"Polar bears are losers of a warming world，but some populations are still doing well．Some groups of whales have changed the timing of their migrations；others are hunting in deeper，colder waters．These changes might make sea mammals more adaptable to changing climates ．Maybe they just need to find the places where fish remain slow，stupid and cold．"8.Why are there more types of warm-blooded predators near the poles？______A. Because there is more food．B. Because there are fewer enemies．C. Because they are faster and wiser．D. Because they consume less energy．9.The author mentions the killer whales to show ______ ．A. the benefit of biological evolutionB. food preference of different sea mammalsC. the distinction of specific types of predatorsD. the advantage of constant body temperature10.What is Donna Hauser's attitude towards the future of the sea mammals？______A. Positive．B. Negative．C. Neutral．D. Sceptical．11.Which is the best title for the passage？______A. Are the Poles Heaven for Sea Predators？B. How Do Sea Mammals Track Their Prey？C. Why Do the Warm-Blooded Like Food Cold？D. Is the World Too Hot for the Warm-Blooded？DLast fall，I happened to overhear a student telling the others he had decided not to sign up for an introductory philosophy course．The demands of his major，he said seriously，meant he needed to take "practical" courses，and "enlightenment" would simply have to wait．For now，employability was the most important．The students' conversation fits into a larger alarming narrative about the role of the humanities in higher education．In a time of dizzying technological achievement and of rapid scientific innovation，sceptics of the humanities may question the usefulness of studying Aristotle，the Italian Renaissance or Chinese fiction．Actually，I regret not interrupting that student to argue for taking that introductory philosophy course．I would have started by reminding him that，for much of America's history，college graduates were not considered truly educated unless they had mastered philosophy，literature，political theory and history．The key role of higher education was to invite students into the conversations about matters like what it means to be alive and the definition of justice．Fostering engagement with these subjects is still an essential part of the university's function in society．I would have also mentioned to the student that he was misinformed about the job market．It is true that many employers are looking for graduates with specialized technical skills，but they also look for other capabilities．As the world is transformed by artificial intelligence，machine learning and automation，the unique human qualities of creativity，imagination and moral reasoning will be the ultimate coin of the realm．All these skills are developed in humanities courses．Further，I would have argued that while a degree anchored in the sciences is an important precondition for many jobs，it is not the only route．Look no further than the founders of companies such as LinkedIn，Slack and Flickr，who are among the many tech businesspersons with degrees in the humanities，and who credit that training for their success．Contrary to the widely held belief that humanities majors have a hard time getting jobs，recent studies show that those with humanities degrees are successful in the workplace，experiencing low rates of unemployment and reporting high levels of job satisfaction．The ratio between average median（中位数）incomes for humanities degree holders and those with business，engineering，and health and medical sciences degrees has been shown to narrow over the course of a career．The case for the humanities can also be understood in less transactional terms and more as a foundational preparation for a life well lived．A humanities education plays a vital role in encouraging citizens to lead an examined life．It fosters critical thinking，self-reflection，empathy and tolerance，the usefulness of which only becomes more apparent as one navigates life's challenges．By all means，students should take courses they think practical and follow their interests，but if they also make a point of studying the literature of the Renaissance，or researching into modern poetry，or even taking introductory philosophy，we will all benefit．12.What do the students' conversation show？______A. Students feel employment difficult．B. Students think philosophy less important．C. Students find scientific innovation amazing．D. Students consider university courses unsatisfying．13.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean？______A. Highly valued．B. Equally applied．C. Strictly assessed．D. Greatly improved．14.The author may agree that humanities ______ ．A. discover students' artistic abilityB. prepare students for graduationC. raise awareness of social statusD. provide great insights into life15.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage？______A.B.C.D. I：Introduction P：Point Sp：Sub-point（次要点）C：Conclusion二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Are You a Prisoner of Perfection？Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach？(1) Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you can't achieve the unachievable ？Understanding what drives perfectionism is the first step toward releasing this self-created anchor that keeps us stuck．Shame and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism．We believe that if we can fashion a perfectly polished personality，flash our intelligence，and perfect our humour，then no one can hurt us with criticism and we'll win respect and approval．(2) Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or uncertainty are often driven by a secret shame．They fear that showing vulnerability（弱点）will expose them to the accusation that they're weak．They stick to a desire to be right，perfect，and polished，even when it's obvious that the emperor has no clothes．Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future．We're constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better．(3) However，if we can't relax and enjoy lighter moments，then we become prisoners of our perfectionism．We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too seriously．Sadly，we deprive（剥夺）ourselves of the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being ourselves．(4) We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn't mean that we are a failure．Without failures，we'll never learn from our mistakes；we'll never move forward in our lives．Those who succeed have made countless mistakes．The important thing is to learn from our error，forgive ourselves and move on．Being human，perfection is impossible．(5) Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image，we're freed to sail gracefully through our successes and failures-and enjoy our precious life．A．Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize？B．A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings．C．Do you fear that others will be horrified by what you judge about yourself？D．The addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect．E．There's nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way．F．People who are addicted to perfection are often isolated，even if they seem outgoing and popular．G．By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best，we begin to rid the shame that drives perfectionism．16.

English around the worldToday，nearly 350 million people across every continent use the English vocabulary as a mother tongue.Three quarters of the world's mails and letters are in English.So are more than half the world's technical and scientific periodicals(期刊)—it is the language of technology from Silicon Valley(硅谷) to Shanghai.English is the medium for 80 percent of the information stored in the world's computers.Nearly half of all business deals in Europe are conducted in English.It is also the language of sports and glamour(魅力)—the official language of the Olympics and the Miss Universe competition.Five of the largest broadcasting companies in the world(CBS，NBC，ABC，BBC，CBC)transmit in English to audiences that regularly exceed one hundred million.Though English is a language as old as Greek or Chinese，its truly significant development has occurred only in the last one hundred years or so.Taking the most conservative estimates，there are three or four hundred million people using English，but not as a native language.English has become a second language in countries like India，Nigeria or Singapore where it is used for administration，broadcasting and education.In these countries，English is a vital alternative language，often unifying huge districts and diverse populations.When Rajiv Gandhi appealed for an end to the violence that broke out after the murder of his mother，he went on television and spoke to his people in English.Then English is used as a foreign language in some countries，like Holland or Yugoslavia，where it is backed up by a tradition of English teaching.It is used to have contact with people in other countries ，usually to promote trade and scientific progress.A Dutch poet is read by a few thousands.However，translated into English，he can be read by hundreds of thousands.As either a first，second or foreign language，English has been a global phenomenon.1．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?A．Nearly half of the world's mails and letters are written in English.B．70 percent of the information in the world's computers is stored in English.C．English is not as old as Chinese.D．In the last one hundred years，English developed greatly.答案：D细节判断题。

Those wings must twist(弯曲) in a very precise way that makes them hard to produce.Ethan became fascinated by this kind of airplane design when he saw a video of NASA’s Prandtl-D aircraft gliding gracefully through the air without a tail. “I just thought that was really cool,” says Ethan. He wondered if he could find a simpler way to achieve the same tailless flight.“Essentially what I did was just trial and error,” Ethan says. Using a computer model of an airplane wing, he adjusted the angle of twist along the wing until it could achieve tailless flight. Usually, such a wing requires a continuous distribution of wing twist. But he could achieve a similar effect with wings that had just a few sections of twist. “It’s super easy to make,” Ethan says.In his garage, Ethan built model airplanes using rubber materials and packing tape totes this design. “Seeing the plane in the air was pretty cool,” Ethan says. “It just flew really, really well.”Lighter, more efficient planes could open the door to other air travel innovations. “It’s been a long-term goal of mine to build a solar plane that can fly through the day powered by solar panels on its wings,” Ethan says. “It is absolutely possible for a really efficient plane.”To other teens who have big engineering ideas to explore, Ethan always says, “Don’t ever give up.” Even when some machinery feels impossible to understand, it help store member that the world’s greatest inventors are only human, too. “Also, just make sure you love whatever you do,” Ethan adds. “That’ll make pursuing everything a lot easier.”24．What is one advantage of the tailless airplane?A．It makes aircraft design easier.B．It is environmentally friendly.C．It reduces production costs.D．It promotes flight stability.25．What drew Ethan’s attention to the tailless airplane design?A．The breakthrough in aircraft materials.B．The flight of an aircraft in a video.C．The prize for original design.D．The desire for innovation.26．In Ethan’s opinion, what help inventors realize their dreams?that the technology just isn’t there. My students used free accessible text generators online and put in a lot of effort. But, if I had believed these were genuine student essays, the very best would have earned somewhere around a C or C-minus. Many of the essays had obvious red flags for AI generation: outdated facts, quotes from prior university presidents presented as current presidents, fictional professors and named student organizations that don’t exist. At the same time, the students reported that using AI required far more time than simply writing their essays the old-fashioned way would have.There has been a fair amount written about the supposed impressiveness of AI-generated text. There are even several high-profile AI-written articles, essays or even scientific papers or screenplays that showcase this impressiveness. In many of these cases, the “authors” have access to higher-quality language models than most students are currently able to use. But, more importantly, the published examples are generally the polished form of professional writers and editors. In contrast, many of my students’ AI-generated essays showed the common problems of student writing—uncertainty about the appropriate writing style, issues with organization and transitions, and inconsistent paragraphing. Obviously, producing a quality essay with AI requires having high writing skill and revising skill to produce appropriate outputs.My experimental so tells me that a good assignment sheet is the best defense against AI essays. If your assignment is “Describe the reasons for the U.S. Civil War”, you are more likely to get AI or downloaded essay submissions. My assignment was a challenge because it asked students to address local issues of concern. There are just not enough relevant examples in the data the AI text generators are drawing from.It has been just over five years since computer scientists declared, “We should stop training radiologists(放射科医生) now. Deep learning is going to do better than radiologists.” Well, we’re still training radiologists, and there’s no indication that deep learning is going to replace human doctors anytime soon. In much the same way, I strongly suspect full-on robot writing will always and forever be “just around the corner”.31．What can we learn about the students in the experiment?A．Their writing efficiency was affected.B．Their essays were better structured.C．They preferred AI-written essays.D．They overcame AI’s weaknesses.32．What does the author imply in Paragraph 3?A．Online text generators are far from reliable.B．Genuine student essays deserve higher marks.C．Students need to have better mastery of technology.D．Revising applications decide the quality of AI essays.33．In the author’s opinion, what may discourage the use of AI text generators?A．Standard criteria B．Strict regulations..C．Clear instructions.D．Unique writing tasks. 34．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To assess AI’s influence on students’ writing.B．To discuss the threat of AI to the teaching of writing.C．To appeal for the appropriate application of AI text generators.D．To analyse the differences between genuine and Al-written essays.四、七选五五、阅读表达阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。

True leadership is not just the ability to identify the talent and skill of the polished individuals around you.

Chinese politeness have always been formal to follow strict rules, although sometimes Chinese people seem to be impolite according to Western standards in public places. To well understand Chinese, some concepts should not be ignored.MianziThe idea of shame, usually expressed as 'face' could be loosely defined as the 'status' or 'self-respect' in Chinese and by no means alien to foreigners. It is the worst thing for a Chinese to lose face. Never insult, embarrass, shame, yell at or otherwise demean a person. Since all these actions would risk putting a Chinese in a situation that he might lose face, neither try to prove someone wrong nor shout at him in public. In order to get a successful effect without letting a Chinese lose face, any criticism should be delivered privately, carefully, or else, just opposite to what you wish.GuanxiThroughout much of Chinese history, the fundamental glue that has held society together is the concept of guanxi, relationships between people. It is very important for the Chinese to have good relationships. They often regard good social relations as a symbol of personal ability and influence. Someone who has no connections would be disrespected and is only half-Chinese.KeqiKeqi not only means considerate, polite, and well mannered, but also represents respect and modesty. It is impolite to talk too proudly about oneself or one's inner circle. The expression is most often used in the negative, as in buyao keqi, meaning "you shouldn't be so kind and polite to me," or "you're welcome."Besides, Chinese seldom express what they think directly and they prefer a roundabout way. Neither show their emotions and feelings in public. They rarely greet people with a handshake, though it is very popular among foreigners, and say nothing of embracing or kissing when greeting or saying good-bye. Consequently, it is better not to behave too carefree in public, even though you are well-intentioned. Also, it is advisable to be fairly cautious in political discussions. Do not particularly push yourself forward, or else you are unwelcome.To sum up, do in Rome as Rome does, but you need not worry about these cultural barriers since most Chinese are hospitable and friendly and will not mind your no accomplishment.1. In most Chinese’s eyes, the fundamental glue holding society together is the idea of ____.A. relationships between peopleB. influences upon othersC. dependence on othersD. kindness to others2. The underlined word “demean” in the first paragraph means make people _____.A. respectfulB. happyC. shamefulD. weak3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. It is impolite to insult, embarrass, shame or shout at a person.B. It is polite that you should bring gifts to others when invited to dinner.C. It is necessary to show your character of being considerate, polite, and well mannered.D. It is important for the Chinese to have good relationships between people.4. Which of the following proverbs has the same meaning as the underlined sentence “Do in Rome as Rome does.”?A. Caution is the parent of safety.B. Many hands make light work.C. There’s no smoke without fire.D. If you are elsewhere, live as they do there.【参考答案】1—4、ACBD【北京市丰台区2014统一模拟】完形填空。
