Reading Comprehension（45分）Section A（15分）Directions：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.16．（15分）Our Global VillageNearing autumn's close．My neighbor ﹣How do Our es he live，I wonder？These lines were written by a famous poet nearly three hundred years ago．They expressa timeless and universal curiosity in one's fellow man．The word 'neighbor' in the poem （1）people very much like one's self．He may live next door，similar in dress，diet，custom and language．Today，few people are surrounded by neighbors who are cultural copies of themselves．Tomorrow we can expect to spend most of our lives in the （2）of a variety of neighbors．They may speak in a different tongue，seek different values and behave according to different norms．As our world is （3），our neighbors increasingly will be people whose life styles contrast sharply with our own．Science and technology has turned our world into a global village．The term﹣global village﹣was （4）by Marshal Mcluhan．It is used to describe the （5）of the world as a result of the mass media．Nowadays，the mass media is able to bring （6）from all corners of the globe into people's homes．Communication technologies make it possible to connect with people in other countries on the phone and the Internet．Modern transportation systems also （7）to the creation of the global village．Now astronauts can （8）around the globe in eighty minutes．The moon is already within our range of travel，and the addition of Mars is just a （9）of time．A visit to major cities such as New York，London，and Tokyo shows that movement of people from one country to another has become commonplace．People everywhere are gaining （10），and this is just the beginning．Our mobility places us in （11）with people from other cultures．And when we meet，we need to communicate．In fact，we must communicate．This communicative behavior is called （12）communication．It occurs whenever a message sender is a member of one culture and a message receiver is of another．We may find intercultural communication difficult．Even if we overcome the natural （13）of language differences，we may fail to understand and to be understood．Misunderstanding may even become the rule （14）the exception．In order to communicate effectively and appropriately in English，we need，（15）to become aware of the interrelationship between language and culture．Language is part of culture and plays an important role in it．Without language，culture would not be possible．（1）A．refers to B．appeals to C．devotes to D．connects to（2）A．company B．form C．need D．maintenance （3）A．transferred B．transplanted C．transformed D．formed（4）A．developed B．coined C．made D．charted（5）A．changing B．reformation C．shrinking D．sinking（6）A．evidence B．convenience C．events D．accidents（7）．A．contribute B．owe C．distribute D．attribute（8）A．circle B．cycle C．circulate D．surf（9）A．matter B．coming C．result D．future（10）A．freedom B．pleasure C．chances D．mobility（11）A．contract B．contrary C．contact D．contrast（12）A．foreign B．domestic C．intercultural D．inner（13）A．cause B．barriers C．resolution D．foundation（14）A．other than B．rather than C．in addition to D．or rather（15）A．therefore B．otherwise C．nevertheless D．however Section B（22分）Directions：Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in thepassage you have just read.17．（8分）As degrees have become more common，their importance as signaling devices is rising．A recent study by Joseph Fuller and Manjari Raman of Harvard Business School found that companies routinely require applicants to have degrees，even though only a minority of those already working in the role have them．This increases the graduate premium﹣but by punishing non﹣graduates rather than boosting the absolute returns to degrees．Analysis by The Economist of American census data finds that between 1970 and 2015 the share of workers aged 25﹣64 with at least a bachelor's degree increased in 256 out of 265 occupations．Some of these are intellectually demanding jobs that changed a lot over that period，such as aerospace engineer or statistician．Others are non﹣graduate jobs such as waiting tables．Sixteen percent of waiters now have degrees﹣perhaps，in most cases，because they could not find a graduate job．But other jobs that are mostly done by graduates，such as journalism，nursing and teaching in primary schools，used to require only shorter training，often received while working．Today，having a degree is usually an entry requirement．26.5m workers in America﹣two﹣thirds of those with degrees﹣are doing work that was mostly done by non﹣graduates a half﹣century ago．Advances in technology have doubtless made some of these jobs more demanding．But not all of them，at least judging by pay．We find only a weak link between higher shares of graduates in an occupation and higher salaries．For around half of the occupations that employ higher shares of graduates now than a half﹣century ago，real wages have fallen．Andreas Schleicher，the head of education research at the OECD，reckons that "countries have skills shortages，not degree shortages"．The way universities have come to monopolise higher education，he says，is a problem in part because universities do not suit all kinds of learners．And university dropouts tend to see little in the way of financial benefit from the part of their course that they have finished．（1）According the first paragraph，the demand for degrees．A．means a majority of staff in company are now have degrees．B．enables those with degrees to earn more money．C．signals that non﹣graduates will find it more difficult to find a job．D．leads to those non﹣graduates being punished by their employers．（2）What can be learned from the text？A．Non﹣graduate jobs such as waiting tables now need a college degree．B．Some jobs that are mostly done by graduates，such as journalism must go through training．C．Degrees don't necessary lead to higher wages．D．Most graduates receive higher salaries now than a half﹣century ago．（3）What does the underlined word "monopolise" mean？A．promoteB．controlC．sponsorD．recognize（4）Which opinion will Andreas Schleicher most probably agree with？A．The emphasis on degrees will hinder the career choice for those without a degree．B．Countries should attach more importance on degrees．C．Universities dropouts tend to have more skills than graduates．D．Financial benefit is little for university degrees．18．（6分）University Room RegulationsApproved and Prohibited ItemsThe following items are approved for use in residential （住宿的）rooms：electric blankets，hair dryers，personal computers，radios，televisions and DVD players．Items that are not allowed in student rooms include：candles，ceiling fans，fireworks，waterbeds，sun lamps and wireless routers．Please note that any prohibited items will be taken away by the Office of Residence Life．Access to Residential RoomsStudents are provided with a combination （组合密码）for their room door locks upon check﹣in．Do not share your room door lock combination with anyone．The Office of Residence Life may change the door lock combination at any time at the expense of the resident if it is found that the student has shared the combination with others．The fee is ﹩25 to change a room combination．Cooking PolicyStudents living in buildings that have kitchens are only permitted to cook in the kitchen．Students must clean up after cooking．This is not the responsibility of housekeeping staff．Kitchens that are not kept clean may be closed for use．With the exception of using a small microwave oven to heat food，students are not permitted to cook in their rooms．Pet PolicyNo pets except fish are permitted in student rooms．Students who are found with pets，whether visiting or owned by the student，are subject to an initial fine of ﹩100 and a continuing fine of ﹩50 a day per pet．Students receive written notice when the fine goes into effect．If，one week from the date of written notice，the pet is not removed，the student is referred to the Student Court．Quiet HoursResidential buildings must maintain an atmosphere that supports the academic mission of the University．Minimum quiet hours in all campus residences are 11：00 pm to 8：00 am Sunday through Thursday．Quiet hours on Friday and Saturday nights are 1：00 am to 8：00 am．Students who violate quiet hours are subject to a fine of ﹩25．（1）Which of the following items are allowed in student rooms？A．Ceiling fans and waterbeds．B．TVs and electric blankets．C．Hair dryers and candles．D．Wireless routers and radios．（2）What if a student is found to have told his combination to others？A．The combination should be changed．B．He should be fined $25．C．The Office replace the door lock．D．He should check out of the room．（3）What can we learn from the passage？A．A microwave oven is allowed to be used．B．students enjoy a party in residences on 7：00 am，Sunday．C．A housekeeper is to clean up the kitchen．D．No pets are permitted in student rooms．19．（8分）If plastic had been invented when the Pilgrims（清教徒移民）sailed from Plymouth，England，to North America ﹣and the Mayflower had been stocked with bottled water and plastic﹣wrapped snacks ﹣their plastic waste would likely still be around，four centuries later．If the Pilgrims had been like many people today and had simply thrown their empty bottles and wrappers over the side，Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits．And those bits might still be floating around the world's oceans today，waiting to be eaten by unfortunate fish，and eventually perhaps by one of us．Because plastic wasn't invented until the late 19th century，and production really only took off around 1950，we have a mere 9．2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with．Of that，more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste．And of that waste，a shocking 6.3 billion tons never made it to recycling facilities．No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean，Earth's last sink．In 2015，Jenna Jambeck，a university of Georgia engineering professor，caught everyone's attention with a rough estimate：between 5.3 million and 14 million tons each year just from coastal regions．Most of it isn't thrown off ships，she and her colleagues say，but is dumped carelessly on land or in rivers，mostly in Asia．It's then blown or washed into the sea．It's unclear how long it will take for that plastic to completely biodegrade （降解）．Estimates range from 450 years to never．Meanwhile，ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year．Nearly 700 species，including endangered ones，are known to have been affected by it．Some are harmed visibly ﹣﹣﹣strangled（勒死）by abandoned fishing nets．Many more are probably harmed invisibly．Marine species of all sizes，from fish to whale，now eat microplastics，the bits smaller than one﹣fifth of an inch across．On Hawaii's Big Island，on a beach to which no paved road，I walked ankle﹣deep through mocroplastics．After that，I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as an approaching disaster，worthmentioning in the same breath as climate change．And yet there's a key difference：Ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change．There are no mean waste deniers（否认者），at least so far．To do something aboutit，we have to remake our planet's entire energy system．"This isn't a Problem where we don't know what the solution is，" says Jambeck．"We know how to pick up garbage．Anyone can do it．We know how to deal with it．We know how to recycle．" It's a matter of building the necessary institutions and systems，she says ﹣﹣﹣ideally before the ocean tums，for centuries to come，into a thin soup of plastic．（1）In the first paragraph the author emphasizes the fact that．A．British people migrated to America four centuries ago．B．people have kept doing research in plastic for four centuries．C．there was no plastic pollution four centuries ago．D．plastic waste would remain in the ocean for four centuries．（2）How are marine animals harmed invisibly by ocean plastic？A．They eat microplastics．B．They drown in microplastics．C．They are coated with waste plastic bags．D．They are struggling in abandoned plastic nets．（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？A．People all agree reducing plastic production is the solution．B．People all agree plastic waste has caused ocean plastic．C．It has been scheduled to reverse the trend of climate change．D．It has been scheduled to reverse the trend of ocean plastic．（4）Which of the following is the best title of the passage？A．Ocean Plastic and Climate Change．B．To Biodegrade or to Recycle？C．Planet or Plastic？D．Earth's Last Sink．Section C（8分）Directions：Read the following passages. 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.20．（8分）A．This means that it's not that math itself hurts；rather，the anticipation of math is painful．B．Researchers have developed a mind﹣reading device that can retrieve images from the person's memory with the help of brain scans．C．For most students，math can be tough but scientists have proved that math problems can actually trigger physical pain．D．Using a brain﹣scan machine，scientists noticed that whenever people from Group One saw a yellow circle，their brain would respond in a way similar to when their body is feeling pain．E．The higher a person's anxiety of a maths task，the more he activated brain regions associated with threat detection，and the experience of pain．F．Most students，especially girls，are extremely scared of math．Does solving a math problem give you a headache？Do you feel nervous when you sit a math exam？（1）Scientists came to his conclusion with an in﹣depth experiment，which was published in the Public Library of Science One journal．They began by finding out how much participants fear math．Those involved were asked a series of questions such as how they feel when they receive a math textbook or when they walk into a math lesson．Based on their answers，participants were divided into groups．One group was made up of people who were particularly afraid of math and participants in the other group were more comfortable with the subject．Both groups were then given either math tasks or word tasks．When a math task was going to come next，a yellow circle would appear but when a word task was soon to come，a blue square would be shown．（2）It was like the pain they would fee，for example，if they burnt their hand on a hot stove．But they reacted less strongly when they knew that they would be faced with a word task．However，scientists saw no strong brain response from people in the second group．Math can be difficult，and for those with high levels of mathematics﹣anxiety （HMA），math is associated with tension，apprehension and fear．"When you are really thinking about the math problems，your mind is racing and you are worrying about all the things that couldgo wrong，" explained Ian Lyons from University of Chicago，US，leader of the study．"（3）"More interestingly，the brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks．"（4）" Lyons said．Based on the study，scientists suggested that things could be done to help students worry less and move past their fear of math，which might mean they perform better in tests．IV. Summary Writing（10分）21．（10分）Directions：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．The rise of multinational corporations，global marketing，new communications technologies，and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR．Surprisingly，since modern PR was largely an American invention，America's relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries．Ten years ago，for example，the world's top five public relations agencies were American﹣owned．In 1991，only one was．The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative．A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate planning activities，compared to about one﹣third of U．S．companies．It may not be long before London replaces New York as the capital of PR．Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race？First，Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs．Knowledge of world geography，for example，has never been strong in this country．Secondly，Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts in knowing a second language．Less than 5 percent of Burson﹣Marshall's U．S．employees know two languages．Ogilvy and Mather has about the same percentage．Conversely，some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language．Finally，people involved in PR abroad tend to keepa closer eye on international affairs．In the financial PR area，for instance，most Americansread the Wall Street Journal．Overseas，their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist，publications not often read in this country．Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN （Cable NewsNetwork）．Turner recently announced that the word "foreign" would no longer be used on CNN news broadcasts．According to Turner，global communications have made the nations of the world so interdependent that there is no longer any such things as foreign．第II卷（共40分）V.

2020年上海中国中学高三英语二模试卷及参考答案
2020年上海中国中学高三英语二模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AOne day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library,I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. Without opening the book—Amos, the Beagle with a Plan ,1 borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later ,she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.1. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.A. let him spend a meaningful summerB. encourage him to do more walkingC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons2. The book caught the author's eye because .A. it reminded him of his own dogB. he found its title easy to understandC. it contained pretty pictures of animalsD. he liked children's stories very much3. Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. Mum's Strict Order.B. My Passion forReading.C. Reunion with My Beagle.D. The Charm of a Book.BSome years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation system？It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret. Suddenly a thought ran through my mind: you can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places, without guides or even advanced bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.The point is that the new, along with the different, is almost scary by definition. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I'll go on doing such things. It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.4. The author accepted the assignment because_________.A. he had never travelled abroad beforeB. he hardly knew any foreign languagesC. he was familiar with any other country in EuropeD. he would learn something new and different by trying5. Which of the following statements is TRUE？A. The author had been abroad only twice.B. The author thought the trip was hard but worthwhile.C. The author admitted that anything different was terrible.D. The author must be good at doing research and making interviews.6. We can infer from the text that the author is_______.A. awkwardB. generousC. stubbornD. brave7. What's the best title of the text？A. An Interesting Trip AbroadB. My First Writing AssignmentC. Ready to Try and ChallengeD. How to Be Daring and Brave.CIt is universally acknowledged that renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower are all much better for the climate than fossil fuels.It is true for wind and solar. However, the picture for hydropower is more complicated than we think.A new study by the Environmental Defense Fund analyzed the climate impacts of 1,500 hydropower facilities across the globe. That accounts for about half of hydropower generation worldwide. The researchers looked at whether the facilities behave as a greenhouse gas sink or as a source. To figure this out, they looked into all the different components that help determine a hydropower facility's greenhouse gasemissions (排放).“There are so many contributors to greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower — but essentially, the majority of greenhouse gas emissions arise from the reservoir (水库) itself, as vegetation and soils are submerged underwater in the dam thatis used for the hydropower generation.” said lissa Ocko, a senior climate scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund and co-author of the study. As the submerged vegetation breaks down, it releases greenhouse gases such as CO2.“The larger the surface area of the reservoir, the more greenhouse gases are going to be given out from that reservoir. Also, the temperature plays a role as well how warm the reservoir is will affect how much greenhouse gases are produced and given out from the reservoir.” added Ocko.Through their analysis, Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg, also with the Environmental Defense Fund, discovered that the climate impacts of hydropower cover a complete range. The good news is that some facilities perform just as well as wind and solar. But shockingly, more than 100 facilities are actually worse for the climate than fossil fuels. The study is in the journalEnvironmentalScience and Technology.This finding doesn't mean we should forget about hydropower. “But we just need to be careful to make sure that we have climate benefits. There are a lot of situations where hydropower can be equal to wind and solar. So it really depends on the specific facility." said Ocko.8. How do scientists prove hydropower facilities' effect on the climate?A. By making comparisons.B. By conducting experiments.C. By referring to previous studies.D. By analyzing causes and effects.9. What are the main sources of greenhouse gases from hydropower?A. Vegetation and soils.B. Heat and sunlight.C. Pollutants in the reservoir.D. Components of the generators.10. What have Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg found?A The surface area of a reservoir decides the climate.B. Hydropower often influences the climate in all aspects.C. Some facilities perform much better than wind and solar.D. Fossil fuels are worse for the climate than over 100 facilities.11. What is the text mainly about?A. Scientists urge an end to hydropower.B. Hydropower is not necessarily green.C. Hydropower is worse than fossil fuels.D. Renewable energy is a complicated issue.DAs a 51-year-old first-aid responder since 1984, Jeffrey never knows what type of situation he might walk into, or who he'll meet along the wayTen years into the job, Jeffrey received a call that reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America.

Here is my visa application and my acceptance letter from Yale's undergraduate department.Q: What is the man?2. M: How long will it take for this parcel to reach Paris?W: How would you like it mailed?Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?3. M: I know you are keen on travelling. What do you plan to do this summer vacation?W: Considering the experience I had in Sydney last year, I prefer to stay at home.Q: What does the woman imply?4. W: If you waited till the end of this year, you would have the car for less.M: I know. But my workplace is inaccessible by bus and I can't afford to lose my new job.Q: What will the man probably do?5. M: Do you have time to hang out with me? I want to get something for Mr. Smith's family.W: Do you have anything in mind?Q: What are the man and the woman discussing?6. W: It's supper time. Let's get something to eat. By the way, have you adapted to the food here?M: I think American food is all beef and potatoes and pizza. I'm a little sick of it.Q: What can we learn about the man?7. W: So would you like to be my partner in the project?M: Sure. I just can't believe you still want to work with me after I messed up last time.Q: How does the man feel about the woman's invitation?8. W: I'm a bit concerned about my grades, Mr. Smith.M: But you are getting straight A's, aren't you? That's among the top five in the class.Q: What's the probable relationship between the two speakers?9. W: Emily's voice sounds awful. I could barely hear her.M: Yes. She's got a terrible sore throat. The doctor said she shouldn't even attempt to whisper.Q: What can we learn about Emily from the conversation?10. W: I really can't understand why you drink coffee every day. I just take it when I stay up late for finals.M: I drink it for refreshment and to improve my productivity. More than that, I drink it for socialization, such as business negotiation.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?Have you ever lost your car in a parking lot? It happens. You park and go shopping. When you get back, you don't have a clue where your car is. Then you start wandering around clicking the panic button on your car keys so the alarm goes off. It can be frustrating, especially on a hot, sunny day.Do you need to install an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car? No. That's too expensive. Plus, you would need to pay a monthly fee just to use it. But now there is a way to track your vehicle without spending a coin.A California-based startup company was able to make this a reality. They created a tiny device that works with your smartphone, and it could be exactly what you're looking for! It's a tracking device the size of a quarter. It's changing the way we keep track of the important things in our lives.It's easy! Install the free TrackR app on your smartphone, connect the app to your device and you're ready to go! Simply attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep labels on. The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less. You can attach it to your keys, briefcase wallet, your latest tech devices and anything else you don't want to lose. Then use the TrackR app to locate your missing item in seconds.Questions11. Why isn't a GPS system a good way to track your car?12. What do we know about TrackR from the passage?13. What can be used to describe TrackR?In raising clever kids, there are exceptions. It's maltreatment that seems to fuel exceptional achievement more than anything. It's not a gene that enables it - it's great difficulty. For instance, one in three exceptional achievers in all fields that have been studied lost a parent before the age of 15 (compared with 18% before modern medicine). That applies equally to prime ministers, American presidents, British business people and exceptional writers. These people are driven by the pain of loss.Of course, exceptional success does require exceptionally hard work. Staying comfortable is not the way. It creates needy, hungry and lonely adults. Emotional grief leads to exceptional achievers. British senior managers are actually more likely to be self-centered than patients in mental hospitals. It's the same in the arts.If you really care a lot about having an exceptional child, you should ensure that your children love you and you love them. By all means have ambitions for them. A child whose parents have no ambition is emotionally neglected, but if they are going to be emotionally healthy and exceptional achievers, ambitions really come from them.Questions:14. Among exceptionally successful people, what percentage of them lose a parent before the age of 15?15. Which of the following are more likely to be self-centered according to the passage?16. What is the passage mainly talking about?Brent: Hello, Alison.Alison: Hi, Brent. You look great! Are you on a diet?Brent: No, but I am getting more exercise. And I did quit smoking recently.Alison: Quit smoking? I thought you said smoking helped relieve your stress.Brent: It did at first. But after I became more aware of the harmful effects of smoking, my perspective changed. Alison: It must have been something pretty serious.Brent: It was. I've been smoking for years, but last month I started coughing really badly.Alison: That's scary. It's true that smoking can cause lung cancer, heart disease and other diseases.Brent: I had read about that stuff and didn't think it applied to me until I got that cough. Then I realized I should take it seriously.Alison: And now that you've quit, the people around you won't be affected by secondhand smoke.Brent: I know! Recently, I've been on my friend's case to quit smoking now that she's pregnant.Alison: That's very dangerous. The baby could get asthma which will affect its entire life.Brent: I read a report by the World Health Organization (WHO) that said a top cause of death for children under the age of five is air pollution. Much of that is from secondhand smoke.Alison: Oh, what else?Brent: The report also said that secondhand smoke and air pollution result in about 570,000 child deaths around the world each year. The true harm of tobacco smoke is that it is a silent killer. Have you ever heard of thirdhand smoke?Alison: You mean the poisonous chemicals from tobacco smoke that are left on things like clothes and furniture? Brent: Exactly. So there's really no avoiding the poisons left behind by smoking.Alison: Even using a fan or air conditioner can't get rid of the remains. The poison remains on surfaces for at least six months and is especially dangerous for babies and young children.Brent: I used to think smoking was just a matter of personal choice. But obviously there are more things to consider. Alison: I can imagine quitting smoking wasn't easy. But you made the right choice. Good for you.17. Why hadn't Brent intended to give up smoking?18. What is the main reason of death for children under the age of five according to a report ?19. Why did Brent say tobacco smoke is a silent killer?20. What does third-hand smoke mean according to the conversation?02.崇明区I. Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.

But the pills you gave me are making me sleepy.Q: What is most probably the man’s job?2. M: I’d like to open a savings account.W: Sure.

But, by far, the biggest problem is the growing number of visitors to the city. So city officials have made a plan to require all visitors to pay a fee to enter Venice. The money will help to pay for cleaning and other services that help to keep the city beautiful. Overnight tourists already pay a tax that is added to the cost of their hotel stay. The new fee will be required of tourists who come to the city for a few hours or for one day.The fee process will be experimental at first. The money will be collected by transport companies that bring the tourists to Venice. The city will set up cameras for individuals arriving in private cars. And there will be fines for those who do not pay the fee. Students, some workers and children under the age of six will not have to pay. Naturally, anyone born or living in Venic e don’t need to pay, either.Some people living in Venice say they do not believe the fee plan will work. Venice is an island and visitors arrive from all sides. They think it will be impossible to collect the money from everyone who visits the city and disapprove of the plan. Others, however, like the idea. They say it will make tourism “less aggressive”.(Now listen again, please)Questions:11. What is Venice’s plan mainly about?12. Why does Venice make such a plan?13. Why don’t some people in Venice think the plan will work?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.In the United States, multi-player video games are becoming a big business. More and more colleges and universities are creating e-sports programs. Some colleges are even offering top players scholarships. But most of those scholarships have been going to male players.To try to change things, a former U.S. Department of Education official, J Collins, has helped an all-girls school launch an e-sports program and says the goal is for different kinds of people to play e-games and earn e-sports scholarships.Since leaving the Education Department, Collins has been teaching at an all-girls school. Collins compares the path for girls in e-sports to the one facing girls and gender minorities in science, technology, engineering and math—the subject grouping called STEM. Many girls begin to avoid STEM-related subjects around middle school. Possible reasons include “lack of role models, culture and generally feeling like they don’t fit in in that world”, Collins said.Collins helped organize a league for e-sports teams from 10 schools in the area. The players are a mix of students from urban and rural areas, wealthier and poorer families. At least one of the schools is only for girls.In order to appeal to a wide range of students, the league chose three games for the competitions. Collins says game choice is important if schools want to reach more than just male students.(Now listen again, please)Questions:14. Why does J Collins help an all-girls school launch an e-sports program?15. According to J Collins, which of the following may be a reason for many girls to avoid e-sports?16. According to J Collins, to reach the goal of the league for e-sports, what is important?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: Hey, Jimmy. Have you started planning your vacation yet?M: Yes! I am going to drive to Florida.W: Sounds like fun. Wait! Did you say you’re going to drive?M: Of course. Plane tickets are really expensive in the summer. Besides, road trips are fun!W: But you’ll end up too tired to enjoy your vacation. Are you sure you don’t want to fly?M: Positive. I already set my vacation budget, and plane tickets aren’t part of it.W: You could just charge everything to your credit card.M: I don’t want to go into debt.W: It’s not that big of a deal. That’s how I’m paying for my ship tour to the Bahamas.M: But being in debt is terrible.W: That doesn’t have to be so. You just need to have a plan to pay it off.M: Of course. But you have to pay a high interest rate. Your vacation will end up being even more expensive.W: Well, I still have a budget. As long as my monthly payments are manageable, I can have a great vacation.M: I’d rather pay for my vacation with the money I’ve saved.W: But your time is valuable, too. I’m flying to Florida and boarding the ship the same day. I’d rather spend my time enjoying my vacation, not sitting in a car.M: I don’t mind the drive. I can listen to audiobooks and enjoy the change of scenery.(Now listen again, please)Questions:17. What are the two speakers mainly discussing?18. How will the woman go to Florida?19. What is one of the advantages of driving to Florida according to the man?20. What can be concluded from the conversation?That’s the end of the listening comprehension.03.奉贤区I.

2020年上海中学高三英语二模试题及参考答案
2020年上海中学高三英语二模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AIf you are looking for recommendations on biographies(传记) that will educate you, comedies that will make your belly ache or stories that present the unique challenges women face every day, read on.“Pride and Prejudice”by Jane AustenA classic thatnever gets old. Set in ruralEnglandin the early 19th century, this tale centers around the Bennet family, a family of five daughters and their two parents who are desperate to find at least one of the daughters a wealthy match. Austen’s story focuses on the tension between marrying for love instead of just for power and fame, and also the unique pressure on women to find financial security by way of marriage at the time.“Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the WorldWomen in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World”by Rachel IgnotofskyIt is a sweetly illustrated and educational book that highlights the contributions of 50 women in the fields of technology, science, engineering and mathematics, from present day all the way back to 360 AD.“Good Night Stories for Rebel GirlsGood Night Stories for Rebel Girls”by Elena FavilliIt tells the stories of female heroes from years ago and present day. With color1 portraits and biographies that are short and sweet, this book is a page-turner for anyone wanting to learn about influential women in the past and present.“Becoming”by Michelle ObamaWe wouldn’t be able to write this list without including Michelle Obama’s memoir. “Becoming” has the former FLOTUS discussing her childhood, family, motherhood, her own FLOTUS impact, the pressures of being part of the first Black family in the White House and balancing her public life now. And of course she writes all about meeting her husband and the many unique challenges they faced too.1. What didthe Bennetsintend to do?A.To marry their daughters to rich men.B.To lessen pressure on their daughters.C. To help their daughters marry for true love.D. To make their daughters financially independent.2. Whose book will attract a teen interested in science?A. Jane Austen’s.B.Rachel Ignotofsky’s.C.Elena Favilli’s.D.Michelle Obama’s.3.What do the four books have in common?A.They are all classics.B.They are all biographies.C.They are all related to the female.D. They are all about heroes.BTo hear people talk about Internet friendships, you would think it was one giant web of cat-fishing and e-crime. While we all undoubtedly have to take measures to remain safe online, assuming every friendship or connection made on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook is cheating or insincere would be a mistake.As a woman who works in the creative industry, I have found real joy in seeking out a community I couldn’t find elsewhere, and making some great friends along the way. My first online friendship was on Twitter with my(now) best friend, during the university exam period. We exchanged study notes in dozens of direct messages, set a study date, and haven’t looked back since.Drawn to each other by similar circumstances, friendships online are similar to offline in that they tend to begin because of shared interest or common ground-maybe they’ve read the post on Instagram. Maybe they have the same taste in food or politics. Or maybe they just love memes too. If online friendships start similar to friendships offline, they grow in the same way, too. Often through mutual support: apart from calling a friend to congratulate him on that new job, you also re-tweet his jokes and praise his Instagram story.Despite my positive experiences when I tell people, most are still suspicious. Eyebrows are raised higher when I explain not only have I found a community online but have made friendships with people I meet face-to-face too. Actually, these are just as valid as other friendships, according to behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings, who says online friendships can be real.So how do you know if people are there for the real you or just because you’re popular on Instagram? Hemmings has simple rules. She tells me “You have to equally feel comfortable that you’re getting something of each other instead of being used to enable something that isn’t friendship.”Therefore, if all a “friend” online is asking you to do is to promote their work or personal brand and rarely takes an interest in you, then there may be room to question the basis of the friendship. On that note it is worth remembering that just because someone has a lot of followers, it doesn’t necessarily mean they have lots of friends.4. What is most people’s attitude towards online friendship?A. Negative.B. Positive.C. Objective.D. Neutral.5. Why does the writer share her own experience in paragraph 2?A. To introduce the background information of the text.B. To convey the writer’s attitude and give the related example.C. To prove the likely risk for people to develop friendship online.D. To remind people of the various benefits of making friends online.6. How can online and offline friendships be deepened?A. They should be based on shared interest.B. They need to have common ground.C. They require support from each other.D. They can’t live without social media.7. According to the author, what’s the golden rule to make friends online?A. A friend to all is a friend to none.B. Without confidence there is no friendship.C. A friend without faults will never be found.D. Friendship cannot stand always on one side.CLearning to say “yes, and”When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴交流) class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However,I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, we’d better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable andeven started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn’t grow out of the information I’d presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the “yes, and” approach—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it.The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected.I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth findingout whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support a preconceived (先入为主的) story, but to say “yes, and.”8. Why did the author attend the improvisation class?A. To get a different experience.B. To finish her Ph.D. at university.C. To give up her job as a science communicator.D. To improve her speaking and communicating ability.9. What was the author’s change after attending the improvisation class?A. She formed her own idea quickly.B. She came up with lots of creative responses.C. She paid more attention to the logic of answers.D. She became a good listener before giving an opinion.10. The author mentions applying the “yes, and” approach to her scientific experiments to ______.A. explain the process of using the methodB. prove the benefits of the improvisation classC. share her own research experiences with readersD. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class11. What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph?A. They should attend the improvisation class.B. They should question all preconceived ideas.C. They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.D. They should try to improve their professional knowledge.DIt might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?”Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible.Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic. Millions of people watch late-night television programs live, and videos of these shows get millions of views on streaming services. In 2016, a vote conducted by the University of Delaware Center indicated that nearly one in 10 said they learned about science from late-night television shows.Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-night television could spark science engagement. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that satirical shows had the biggest impact among the least educated viewers, thus helping to narrow a gap in attention to science. Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge.12. What does Paul’s studies of joking about science indicate?A. It may do serious damage to science.B. It can effectively popularize science.C. It totally changes people’s attitude to science.D. It will shift people’s attention from entertainment to science.13. Why do TV watchers receive a little science information?A. Because they enjoy watching entertainments.B. Because science is not easy to come up with.C. Because they find no interest in science issues.D. Because science is scarcely seen on mainstream media.14. What do we know about the late-night shows involving science?A. The hosts get used to playing tricks on scientists.B. The hosts’ aim is to build a positive image of science.C. Education gap can be bridged through late-night shows.D. Science participation can be promoted among their viewers.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards combining science with satire?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Positive.D. Negative.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。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? If you were like most children, you probably let your imagination run 41 . Maybe you dreamed of flying into space or being a famous chef. Then perhaps over the years, your dreams became more 42 . Or you might have given up on some altogether.If that’s the case, then today’s the day for you. January 13th is Make Your Dreams Come True Day. If you’ve been 43 fulfilling your dreams, this is the day to make a fresh start.It’s important to dream because dreams can give us the44 to succeed in life. Dreams inspire and motivate us. The great thing about dreams is that there’s no 45 to accomplish them right away. They might take a few years or they might take a lifetime to 46 . The important thing is that you’re 47 working toward your dream. And the best way to do that is by setting goals.What is the 48 between a dream and a goal? It’s been said that dreams are the final destination; goals are the stops along the way.Dreams can be very 49 . But the steps you take to reach them should be very 50 . Your dreams state what you want, but goals explain how you’ll get there. That makes goal seting a necessary step in 51 your dreams.Many successful people have spoken about dreams. Former U. S. Secretary of State Colin Powell stressed the 52 of working for our dreams. “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic: it takes sweat, 53 and hard work. “Author Les Brown reminded us that dreams have no 54 limit. You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.If you’ve been dreaming about doing something for years, start today. Write down yourdream, and 55 your goals.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage your have just read.(A)In 2008, someone, or perhaps a group of people, using the name Satoshi Nakamoto published a paper to an online group that discussed cryptography（密码使用法）. That paper described a process that would use cryptography to create a secure electronic cash system, now known as a cryptocurrency（加密货币）. Person to person payment could be made online using a shared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial institution. Each deal could happen very quickly. The shared network of computers would also serve as the means to prove those deals safely. Getting rid of the need for a centralized banking system would open up the possibility for anyone to become part of the digital economy.Today, there are well over a thousand different cryptocurrencies. Most are still trying to be feasible global payment system like Bitcoin. They are held back by problems affecting the entire cryptocurrency industry.One issue is weak security on cryptocurrency websites where users either store their ele ctronic cash in virtual “wallets” or exchange one kind of electronic cash for another. In recent years, clever thieves have broken into many of these websites and stolen electronic cash. The websites are struggling to protect their users from such thefts.Another problem is the large number of fake cryptocurrencies that are advertised on the internet. The advertisements invite internet users to visit websites offering new cryptocurrencies. Many visitors are persuaded by the websites to buy their cryptocurrencies using actual money. Later, the webistes disappear along with the victims’ money. In response to this problem, companies like Facebook and Google are limiting cryptocurrency advertising on their websites.56.What does the article explain about Satoshi Nakamoto?A.Satoshi’s background in international baking and investmentB.Satoshi’s grave doubts about the true value of cryptocurrenciesC.Satoshi’s close partnership with suspicious financial institutionsD.Satoshi’s contribution to the development of the digi tal economy57.According to this article, what is true about numerous cryptocurrency webistes?A.They and their users have been robbed.B.They’ve revealed the identities of their users.C.They reward their users with coll prizes.D.They arrange recreational events for users.58.What does the article indicate about the cryptocurrency industry?A.It’s had to lay off lots of workers.B.It’s celebrating a profitable year.C.It’s facing some serious challenges.D.It’s set a very high moral standard.59.According to this article, why are Facebook and Google limiting cryptocurrency advertising?A.Few cryptocurrencies need to be marketed.B.They’ve created their own cryptocurrency.C.They didn’t listen to cryptocurrency fans.D.Too many cryptocurrecies aren’t real.(B)“Changing the world” might seem like an unrealistic goal. When faced with huge probl ems such as air pollution or energy shortages, where do you start? Taoyuan-based Gogoro believes you start with a scooter.Tomorrow’s energyGostations are AI - equipped. They track battery health to maximize each battery’s life. They recharge batteries during off-peak hours to reduce strain on the city’s power grid（输电网）. But they also learn when users usually visit and prioritize supplying charged batteries at those times. The fact of the matter is,cities are only getting bigger.There are already dozens of mega-citie（s特大城市）in the world, and there will only be more in the future. Gogoro’s dream is the transformation of mega-cities into smart cities, where power is plentiful and responbsible. They hope to be a big part of that transformation.pared with other electric scooters, the Smart-scooter .A.can recharge itself in Gostations in mega-citiesB.only needs to change batteries in GostationsC.wouldn’t need to be recharged at all in lifeD.can be recharged by its users in Gostations61.Gogoro scooters are popular and revolutionary mainly because .A.their colors are chosen by a famous color designerB.their colors are different from those of othersC.it is a good way for people to consume energyD.it an help us solve the problem of energy short62.What can we conclude from the passage?A.The more mega-cities there are, the more GoStations may appear.B.GoStations will soon entirely take the place of traditional stations.C.People need not go to GoStations especially during peak hours.D.More mega-cities will appear throughout the world in the future.(C)With so many investments required of us to succeed - time, resources, talents, responsibilities, even finances for our retirement - it’s easy to lose sight of the m ost difficult investment of all to commit to : ourselves.Getting to the point where you’re ready to start upgrading to you 2.0 isn’t easy. But it doesn’t mean dropping the ball everywhere else. It’s not about omissions, but admissions. Come cleanwith yourself to kick-start your personal growth.Unstuck starts with “u”No one purposely chooses to stop learning and growing again, it just kind of happens in a lot of daily responsibilities and life. And if it were easy to just kick it into gear（档位）again, you would have already done it. But the truth is inescapable. If you want to get off that place to higher ground, it’s up to you and only you. No one will just hand you a steady stream of opportunities for growth.You’ve been working in your life, not on itActivity is often confused with acceleration（忙碌）. I was guilty of this for years in working place - staying always busy but not admitting I was bored. I was lost in activity and not steeping back to take time to question what I wanted my life to be. Once I began working on my life - quitting corporate, becoming an entrepreneur, restructuring to my life - I started growing once again. And I’ve never been happier.Things aren’t happening to you, they’re happening for youA victim mentality（心态）is the enemy of personal growth. Lamenting over everything that has gone wrong in your life only wastes energy from working to make more things go right. If you want to kick-start growth, you must view setbacks as having a purpose, and then put them in their place. The past shouldn’t run or define you - only fuel you.The perfect time to start doesn’t existI had so many things that had to be just right before I could make my long-planned leap from corporate. I’d tell myself, “I’d love to go for it right now, but practically speaking.” Well, guess what? Practicality is poison. It’s the convenient excuse stopping you from what you’re meant to become.It’s time to unplug others’ opinionsGrow where you want to grow. Learn what you want to learn. Wherever you are on the scale of hat you want to learn next - be it beginner or near - expert own it, be proud of it. Pretenses are for pretenders. You’re just trying to become a better version of your genuine self.63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.If you want to succeed, you have to invest yourself first.B.Upgrading yourself is hard, but you still need to continue.C.Giving up upgrading yourself is just like dropping the ball.D.It’s a kind of responsibility to go on learning though it’s hard.64.The word lament in the last but 4 paragraphs most probably means .A.to express sadness and feeling sorry about somethingB.to repeat what happens to you in the past of your lifeC.to show some regretful feeling or thought for our pastD.to recognize something that has gone wrong in the past65.According to the passage, we can infer that .A.the busier you are, the happier and better you will beB.what happened shouldn’t prevent you, but protect youC.whoever you are, just grow where you want to growD.how well you grow is actually decided by yourself66.How many aspects does the writer illustrate his idea on personal growth?A. 3B. 7C. 5D. 6Section 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.Learning from your achievements and mistakes will set you up for continued successB.The answers to these questions may help you develop resolutions for the next yearC.Whatever it is, if you don’t know what your goal is, you’re not likely to reach itD.And don’t neglect saying thank you to the people responsible for thin gs on your listE.Then commit to following your plan to the endF.But reflecting on the past doesn’t mean being involved in your failuresAs 2019 draws to a close, it can be helpful to think about finishing what you have started. With that in mind, here are some thoughts on finishing projects and seasons well.Finishing projectsOne step to finishing a project comes near the beginning:define what it means for the project to be finished. This could mean getting an article published, submitting a report to your boss or teacher, or creating designs for a product. 67In order to finish projects, you must also plan out the steps you will take. Break your big task into smaller ones, and give yourself a short-term deadline for each of them. 68 .Then when you do finish - celebrate! Take some time to enjoy your accomplishment and reward yourself for all your hard work. Also take some time to consider how the project went what you did well, and what needs improvement. 69 .Finishing the yearAs we come to the end of 2019, it’s good to take some time to pause and reflect on the past year. What goals did you reach or what have you learned? What would you like to do differently next year?While you’re thinking, consider things you’re thankful for from the year. You could make a list of 12, one for each month, or 52, one for each week. Or just write down as many things as you can think of. This will help you end the year with a positive attitude.70 . If you make mistakes, recognize them and then move on. No one can change the past, but you can learn from it and create a new future.By finished projects and years well, you can move toward your long-term goals and set yourself up for future triumphs.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions: 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.Every culture has set rules about how people should act. Patterns of good behavior, or manners, show respect and care for others. Yet the details of how to express respect vary.Greeting people cheerfully is almost always considered polite. But it’s more important in some cultures than others. For example, when you enter a store in France, you should always greet the person working there. Other cultures also value greeting people. But of course the greetings vary as people speak different languages.When I was growing up in the United States, I once participated in a performance at my church. Afterward, someone gave me a compliment, but I felt like I had done a bad job. So I tried to refuse the compliment, saying, “No, I didn’t do that well.” My mother got my attention and told me that was very rude. Later I learned that refusing a compliment is accepted and even approvedof in China.Some of the biggest cultural differences have to do with table manners. In North America, it’s polite to eat as quietly as possible. That means chewing with your mouth closed and not slurping（吃东西时发出的声音）your soup. The same goes for burping（打嗝）. But in parts of Asia slurping shows that you are enjoying your meal. And burping is a sign of being full and content.There are also differences in how people eat across cultures. For example, in North America and Europe people use forks to bring food to their mouths. But in Thailand, a fork is only used to push food onto a spoon. In India and the Middle East, people eat with their hands. But eating with the left hand is forbidden. This is because the left hand is considered unclean.Yet there are also similar points across cu ltures. Saying “please” and “thank you”, for example, is almost always polite. If you show appreciation and try to follow local customs, people will generally respond well. Showing kindness can bring people together, no matter what culture they come from.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.我们不惧风雨，也不畏任何险阻。

Parents can encourage saving by paying interest on the money that isn’t spent 35 — interest out of the parents’ own pockets, of course.It’s the first taste of 36 freedom for many kids, and it’s set in a relatively safe environment. Parents can determine spending limits and choose the retailers（零售商）where a child can make 37 . If a child attempts to buy something at an unapproved store or to spend more than the limit, the transaction (交易) is 38 and parents get a notification. And if a kid loses the card, parents can immediately cancel it from the app.One of Ms. Koon’s twins, Brenna, works part time at a restaurant.

With each 39 , the app gives Brenna a progress update.Some parents might worry that relying on apps to get kids to do chores only encourages them to be on their phones more. But parents who have chosen this approach argue that they are meeting their kids where they are and that it takes the 40 nagging (唠叨) out of the equation. The real-time look at their accounts makes the concepts of saving and spending more tangible than reviewing a bank statement.参考答案：31- 40: FBIEH GKCDASection BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

As you might imagine, this 35 some problems—either people weren’t home or flat—out refused to pay. The system just didn’t work, but it remained in place for far too long.About 50 years later, to do better, Rolland Hill argued for putting an end to the postal charges and replacing them with a single national rate of one penny, which would be paid by the sender. When the post office ignored Hill’s ideas, he self-published his essay and it quickly gained36 among the public. Hill was then ordered by Postmaster General Lord Lichfield to discuss postal reform and ,during their subsequent meetings, the two men conceived of a gluey 37 that could be applied to the envelops to indicate payment. Though it had gained support with the public who longed for a affordably way to connect with distant friends and family, officials were still not convinced.

The seal swam 31toward a pair of humpbacks that had inserted themselves into the action. One of the humpbacks rolled over on its back, and the seal was 32onto its chest, between the whale’s massive flippers (鳍). “That incident 33me,” he says. “Those humpbacks were doing something we couldn’t explain.”Pitman started asking other researchers and whale watchers to send him similar 34 . Soon he was reading through observations of 115 encounters between humpbacks and killer whales, recorded over 62 years. “There are some pretty astonishing videos of humpbacks 35 killer wha les,” he says.In a 2016 article in Marine Mammal Science, a famous scientific journal, Pitman and his co-authors describe this behaviour and confirm that such acts of do-gooding are widespread. But knowing that something is happening and understanding why it’s happening are two different things. Pitman and his co-authors openly reflected on the meaning of these encounters. “Why,” they wrote, “would humpbacks 36interfere with attacking killer whales, spending time and energy on a potentially37act ivity, especially when the killer whales… were attacking other species of prey?”Interestingly, humpbacks don’t just hit on killer-whale attacks. They race toward them like firefighters into burning buildings. And like those rescue workers, humpbacks don’t know who is in danger until they get there. That’s because the sound that 38them to an attack isn’t the sad voice of the victim. It’s the excited calls of the killer whales. Pitman believes humpbacks have one simple instruction: “When you hear killer whales attacking, go break it up.”I wonder what humpback whales care deeply enough about to actively swim into battle with killer whales. When I ask Pitman, he tells me that, it still comes down to selfishly 39their own kind. He believes that their occasional rescues of humpback calves(后代) create a strong enough 40for them to rush in to help, even if it means they end up saving sunfish, sea lions, dolphins every now and then.参考答案：31-40 FGCHK BDEJA2020届杨浦区高三英语二模Hunting to Farming Is Not Necessarily GoodShifting from hunting to farming made life 50 percent more difficult for humans, a study by Cambridge University suggests. Although farming (31) ________ previously wandering communities to stay put and grow, it came at a huge cost.

As well as the overall difference in hours worked, the study also found that women living in the communities most involved in farming had half as much leisure time as those in communities which only hunted. Co-author, Dr. Abigail Page added: “We have to be really careful when (37) ________ from contemporary hunter-gatherers to different societies in pre-history.” But if the first farmers really did work harder than hunters then this begs an important question - why did humans adopt agriculture?Previous studies suggested the adoption of farming grew up to help cope with (38) ________ societies, although other experts claimed that it was agriculture itself that allowed sedentary(定栖的) communities to expand, and once they (39) ________ a certain size, it would have been impossible for groups to return to a hunter-gathering lifestyle, even if they had wanted to.

The ankles of people who 31 wear shoes are different to those of people who tend to walk barefoot. In many industrial societies, people tend to wear shoes from a young age. However, many people around the world often go barefoot, or wear only very thin footwear.“We know that there are some 32 in the feet of modern humans, due to the use of shoes,” says Rita Sorrentino at the University of Bologna in Italy. But most 33 findings relate to the front and middle of the foot. She and her team have focused on the ankle instead. They studied 142 ankle bones from 11 34from North America, Africa and Europe. These 35 sandal-wearing(穿凉鞋的) Nguni farmers in southern Africa, people living in New York and bones from Stone Age hunter-gatherers.The hunter-gatherers’ ankle bones were significantly shorter than those of people living in modern cities, and there were other differences in the shape. “They are mostly related to footwear-related behaviours and movement behaviours,” says Sorrentino. The hunter-gatherers walked barefoot for long distances every day over natural land. Their ankles were relatively 36 . In contrast, people who live in big cities, who wear tight footwear and walk short distances on flat surfaces like concrete roads, had more unbending ankles.Changes to ankle bones take place over the course of a person’s life, and there is no evidence that these alterations can be passed on 37 .According to Sorrentino, 38 evidence for people wearing shoes only exists for the past 10,000 years. For instance, a sandal from a Missouri cave may be 8300years old. Early shoes were all fairly soft, so wouldn’t have 39 the motion of the ankle much.It is an open question whether shoes have disadvantages, but Sorrentino 40 that the firmness of modern shoes causes our bones to become weaker and more likely to suffer from breaking.参考答案：31-35 CKFED36-40 ABIGJ2020届嘉定区高三英语二模Section BHave you ever unintentionally left your phone at home and wondered how you would get through the day?
