2020年浙江省绍兴市高考英语模拟试卷含答案题号得分高考英语模拟试卷I II III IV V总分一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,共25.0分)ASeventeen-year-old Sariah Estrada didn't expect to receive anything in return when she saved a drowning man on Marianne Beach in Blanchisseuse earlier this year.H owever,for her random act of kindness,Estrada was awarded the Hummingbird Medal-Bronze for her bravery,loyalty and devotion to Trinidad and Tobago on Monday,September24,when the country celebrated its42nd year as a republic.President Paula-Mae Weekes presented the national award to her.I n July of this year,Estrada along with two friends went to the Marianne Beach to relax.Upon leaving the beach,Estrada and her friends noticed a man struggling in the water.Immediately,she and her friends sprang into action.The teens borrowed a body board from some people on the beach and swam to the man's rescue.She said when they reached the man,h e was already unconscious and they dragged him out of the water on the body board.Estrada remembered what she learned during a life-saving course the week before and quickly started pumping the man's chest.A fter several attempts,she was successful and the young man's life was saved.In an interview with LoopTT,the teenager said while she is grateful for the award,she wasn't expecting anything in return."This award was never expected because I thought of helping someone as an act of humanity and never looked for anything in return,but the award is well appreciated.A s I reflect on the action I took,I felt as though I could help this person as I have the proper training.T he week before the incident I participated in a basic life support-training course offered by the North Central Regional Health Authority."Estrada explained.She said she intends to continue assisting people.The national award receiver also had this message for the youths of Trinidad and Tobago.I would like to encourage the young people of Trinidad and Tobago to strive for excellence,never sell yourself short by believing that you cannot do what you desire,all things are possible and hard work surely brings success."1.It can be learned from the passage that Estrada______.A. B. C. D.saved the man by simply dragging him out of the water shared the award with her friends for their heroic deed was motivated to save the drowning man by reputation owed the successful rescue to her proper training2.What do the underlined words"sell yourself short"in paragraph 8probably mean?______A. B. C. D.Think too highly of yourself.Accept yourself with pleasure.Recognize your strength and weakness.Have a low evaluation of your competence.第1页,共13页A. B. C. D.Random acts of kindness make all the difference in our life.Excellence is a continuous process and not an accident.Dreams and desires make the impossible possible.Success is based on the team not the individual.BThe American Heart Association(AHA)says that too many people are spending far too much time on chairs and couches."Based on existing evidence,we found that U.S.adults are sedentary for about six to eight hours a day,"said Deborah Rohm Young,c hair of AHA panel that wrote the new advisory.According to the AHA,growing evidence shows that,on its own,exercise isn't enough to cancel out the unhealthy effects of sitting for a long time."Regardless of how much physical activity someone gets,long sedentary time could negatively influence the health of your heart and blood vessels,"Young explained.The exact mechanisms behind the effect aren't yet clear."There are many important factors we don't understand about sedentary time yet,"Young said.She stressed that,"the types of studies available identify trends but don't prove cause and effect.""We don't have information about how much sedentary behavior is bad for health-the best advice at this time is to‘sit less and move more,"she added.How much more?According to the AHA,people should try to get at least30minutes of moderate to vigorous(剧烈的)exercise a day to reach the recommended150minutes of moderate exercise or75minutes of vigorous exercise a week,That's healthier than trying to cram their weekly exercise into one or two days,according to the statement."The real risk simply comes down to the amount we si t,without there being a true medicine or method to control the harmful effects,"said Steinbaum,a preventive specialist in heart disease.Still,society has evolved to encourage sitting,she added."Our lives have become focused around activities requiring us to be still-whether it be transportation,our computers,or the television or computer in our leisure time,"Steinbaum said."Sociologically,instead of being active to be productive or to have enjoyment,our productivity and fun often requires minimal physical activities."4.What is the main purpose of the new advisory delivered by AHA?______A. B. C. D.To advise people to sit less and exercise more.To explore the cause and effect of inactive behavior.To analyze the link between heart health and exercise.To show the general social trend of encouraging silting.5.Which of the following would Deborah Rohm Young most probably agree with?______A. B. C. D.Doing exercise is of no benefit to those couch potatoes.S itting too much is a contributing factor to heart diseases.T he exact cause behind the effect of long-time sitting is apparent.The vital thing for health is the total amount of weekly exercise you do.6.According to Steinbaum,the increase of sitting time is______.A. B. C. D.a basic aspect of promoting the quality of lifea real risk that can be removed by vigorous exercise an unavoidable consequence of social development a big change in modem people's concept of healthCLike a tired marriage,the relationship between libraries andpublishers has long beendull.E-books,however,are causing heartache.Libraries know they need digital wares,but many publishers are too cautious about piracy(盗版)and lost sales to co-operate.Among the big six,only Random House and Harper Collins license e-books with most libraries.Publishers are wise to be nervous.Owners of e-readers(电子阅读器)are exactly the customers they need:book-lovers with money.If these people switch to borrowing e-books instead of buying them,what then?Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient.Unlike printed books,which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live,book files can be downloaded at home.The files disappear from the device when they are due.E-lending is not simple,however.There are lots of different and often incompatible(不兼容的)e-book formats,devices and licenses.Most libraries use a company called OverDrive,which secures rights from publishers and provides e-books and audio files in every format.Yet publishers and libraries are worried by OverDrive's global market dominance,as the company can control fees and conditions.Publishers were annoyed when OverDrive cooperated with Amazon,the world's biggest online bookseller,last year.Owners of Amazon's Kindle e-reader who want to borrow e-books from libraries are now redirected to Amazon's website,where they must use their Amazon account to secure a loan.According to Pew,an opinion researcher,library users are a perfect for market for Amazon.Late last year Amazon introduced its Kindle Owners'Lending Library,which lets its best customers borrow free one of thousands of popular books each month.Library supporters argue that book borrowers arc also book buyers and that libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new work.Many were cheered by a recent Pew survey,which found that more than half of Americans with library cards say they prefer to buy their e-books.So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in search of the right balance.Random House raised its licensing prices earlier this year,and Harper Collinslimits libraries to lending its titles26times.7.It can be inferred from paragraph1that______.A. B. C. D.libraries and publishers face the same problem of e-books'piracy libraries are eager to keep strong relationship with publishers most publishers are hesitant to cooperate with libraries several big publishers have sold e-books to libraries8.Why are publishers worried that people will switch to electronic borrowing?______A. B. C. D.Book sales may drop sharply because of convenient electronic borrowing.There are lots of different and incompatible e-book formats available.There is no time limit for the book files downloaded on the device.E-books must be checked out and returned to libraries regularly.9.We can learn from the passage that______.A. B. C. D.e-books can be lent at libraries as many times as you like OverDrive distributes e-books and audio files to publishers over half of Americans are borrowing e-books from libraries Amazon is adopting measures to win more customers10.What is the best title for the text?______A. B.The Hopeful Future of Publishing Business The Uncertain Economics of Lending E-booksC. D.The Dull Relationship between Libraries and PublishersThe Close Cooperation between OverDrive and Amazon二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)L earn to Manage Your Time in College A common view both among and of college students is that they are always short on money.While this may be true,many college students are also always running short on something else:time.(1)Here are a few things to consider:Manage your academic time.(2)Consequently,your academic work should always come first when it comes to arranging your time in order of importance.When looking at your schedule for the week,figure out what your academic commitments look like.What time do you have classes?How much homework do you have to do?What assignments are due?When do you have major exams or quizzes?M anage your personal time.It s an unrealistic expectation to think that you can study,go to class,and work all day,every day.(3)Make sure to allow yourself time to go to something fun in the yard,attend a meeting for your favorite club,and just hang out for an hour or so at night with friends over dinner.Doing things that make your personal time more enjoyable and not totally focused on school?can actually improve your productivity when working on projects later.Keep your health in mind.When people's schedules are tight,one of the first things to go is sleep.While it may be common among college students,a lack of sleep is more hurtful than you might think.It can throw everything into disorder:your mental health,your physical health,your stress level,and,of course,your schedule.(4)Use your technology.Nothing helps a college student stay organized more than a good calendar!Some students use thecalendars on their phones;others use things like Google Calendar;others still use the classic paper-calendar model.(5)Just change and try again.A.Try your best to keep a routine on a regular basis.B.Remember that your brain needs to have a break,too.C.If what you're using isn't working for you,don't give up.D.How can you balance your time when there never seems to be enough of it?E.It's important to remember why you're in college in the first place:to graduate.F.Making a list and then crossing items off as they are completed can be satisfying.G.Take moments to plan out the time for a week:your homework,social time and sleep.11.

make coffee."She stepped in and took over.Nothing I did pleased her.All morning,her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words hurt.Totally exhausted,I trudged the six blocks home late that June afternoon.As a third year university student working my way through school,I had never before met anyone like Rose.Fighting back tears,I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room."What shall I do?"The

AMy First Day of SchoolFear started taking over, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled(登记)in the local high school in my new town.I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered. “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s still fourth period.”“But the bell just rang,” I said.Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one, she said, “That is the lunch bell, young man.”I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t o bad.21.

RelievedD. ExcitedBRecently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey on thousands of people caught my eyes. We saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many human interesting stories during my career. That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eyes.When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply tobake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent,“Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel _forlorn_. Instead,we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”24. What did the bakery store workers do after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey?A. They volunteered to make bread for their community.B. They managed to live by selling more bread in the store.C.

Alvarado organized his workers to bake much bread.B. Hurricane Harvey caused a power failure in Houston.C. The staff in the bakery sent enough flour to emergency centers.D. The author preferred to write stories about people facing disasters.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Popular Mexican Bakery Chain in HoustonB. Wait for the Eventual Rescue in a Big DisasterC. All Kinds of Disasters Caused by Hurricane Harvey in HoustonD. Bake Bread to Make a Difference in Face of Hurricane HarveyCJohn George, 60, remembers that he lived a wonderful life in the Detroit neighborhood where he grew up. “We knew all our neighbors.” George told Detroit's Metro Times. “On Christmas Eve, we'd all go to midnight Mass, and there'd be 300 people in our house at one o’clock to about five in the morning. The folks were just really good, hardworking people. ”By the'80s, however, the old neighborhood changed. Due in part to economic downturns and drug abuse, well -kept homes had been abandoned and kindly neighbors had fled to the suburbs(郊区). But not George. “Living in any city, it’s like being in a relationship,” he told Reader’s Digest. “Some days are better than others. But it was my home. And when I saw it becoming worse, I had two choices: I could leave, or I could stay and fight. I chose the latter.”When the abandoned home behind his turned into a worn-out place, the father of two grabbed some boards and nails and began boarding up the house. After two neighbors stopped to ask what he was doing, they decided to help, with great results.That's how it all got started. In the 30 years since that first home rescue, an army of approximately 182,000 volunteers, along with private donors, has helped George pull down around 300 abandoned homes, mainly in die poorer Northwest area of Detroit. They've also secured 400 - some homes by boarding them up. They've painted and repaired nearly 900 homes and built over 100 from scratch. According to Forbes, more than 1,000 Detroiters have been housed as a result of their work.And there's Halloween. In Detroit, October 30 was known as Devil's Night, a period when all hell break loose in the form of crime and vandalism (破坏公物). In response, George created a citizens'patrol(巡逻)that would take to the streets, keeping an eye on illegal behavior. He named it Angels' Night What began with 12 neighbors on patrol in 1990 has grown to more than 60,000 citywide.George's inspired ideas have not gone unnoticed by the city he loves. Others are buying into it. There'sa trend of younger homeowners coming in.28. What was George’s home city Detroit like before the ’80s?A. Neighbors were nice and got along very well.B. People in the suburbs led a wonderful life.C. Economy declined because of drug abuse.D. Many homes were abandoned and people lied.29. What did George decide to do after his neighborhood changed?A. Move to the suburbs.B. Leave his hometown.C. Join his neighbors to help.D. Stay and fight to save his city.30. What happened as a result of George and other volunteers' hard work?A. More people moved into Detroit.B. Almost all Detroiters were housed.C. Over 100 homes were newly built.D. There was no illegal behavior any more.31. What does the story mainly intend to toll us?A. Great minds think alike.B. Two heads are better than one.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. Little people can make a big difference.DBoth honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist of Stanford University, says, “Ants aren’t smart. Ant colonies are.” The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity of learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send message to each other by means of a “dance”. Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new hoe for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of “sameness” and “difference” to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent America research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants. They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complexactions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.32. What do ants and bees have in common?A. They make use of collective intelligence.B. They live in similar-sized colonies.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D.

高考英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,共25.0分)APetrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads,but their days are numbered.A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the US.That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been ‘range anxiety'--- drivers' concerns about running out of juice on a journey.While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems,the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed.That said,charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years.Not that long ago,electric cars were met with distrust,and their large price tags drove customers away.Thanks to improvements in battery capacity,recharging times,performance and price,the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade critics.Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.As well as advancements on the road,electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies.Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel,having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over.Now,the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back.Steps towards electric air travel are also being made,with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes.The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions.Were the US to act on the study's findings and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles,it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent.However,because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles,they cannot claim to be completelyemission-free.That said,as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources,electric vehicles will become even cleaner.1.Which is the best title for this passage?______A. My Dream CarB. History of Electric CarsC. Problems with Petrol CarsD. Driving into the Future2.As used in Paragraph 2,the underlined word "hurdle" means ______ .A. aimB. barrierC. consequenceD. step3.What is the function of Paragraph 4?______A. To introduce the history of electric travel.B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.BHalf a year ago I came across a book called "Salt,Sugar and Fat.How the Food Giants Hooked US",but finished it only recently.I am far from being a fan of junk food,over-salty,or over-sweet stuff,and honestly this food doesn't appeal to me at all.Maybe it is related to the fact that I grew up in Russia and at that time we were not so exposed to the foreign,especially made in America foods.We knew Coca Cola,Pepsi,juice powder and Cheetos,but this stuff was not so cheap or available to buy it every day and we couldn't buy them in large quantities.We didn't know the word "fat" was not a bad thing but a normal of life for some people.We always had sweets and especially on holidays they were served as a dessert along with a cake.Russians like eating sweets when they drink tea.Even with my passion to desserts I still can't relate myself to the people Michale Moss was writing about,those consumers who could not say "no" when it came to junk food.What I found interesting in the book was that the author didn't focus on diets,necessity to exercise,sleep well at night and all other things we all are pretty aware of.The aim was not to teach people how to live but instead,after having made a huge research,interviewed more than 100 people in the food industry,Moss reveals the ugly of the food business.It puts all the facts in front of us and offers a choice:to buy or not to buy.However,the answer was known at the very beginning.Moss mentions the well-known food like Coca,Cola,Pepsi,Nestle and some others and tells how skillfully the consumers can be cheated when it comes to choosing what to put in the food basket in the supermarket.We like this taste of a chocolate,the crispy chips,and sweet porridges because it was all put on test by groups of scientists who made experiments to reveal what kind of taste will be most appealing to us.It involves brain,of course.Apart from scientific researches,it was also due to successful marketing strategies and plans that people prefer to buy food.In this companies' money race,the most vulnerable(易受伤害的)victims are kids.They can't tell good from bad and love everything that makes them feel good.Commercial ads of fast food particularly targeted kids and played on the fact that mothers can't fully control what their children eat because they spent all day at work.Mothers themselves buy chocolates bars and com flakes for their kids,guided by a powerful brainwashing that actually,these products were not unhealthy,on the contrary,it was encouraged to give them to kids,because fat and sugar provide energy,so they are good,right?Giving a credit to some food companies,they made attempts to fight the trend,but consumers,who already worked a habit of eating too salty,too fatting and too sweet products,didn't react to the changes.So the companies returned to the old policy.Surprisingly,such behavior was strongly backed up by the government.I would definitely recommend reading this book not only to those who struggle in the battle with his addiction to fast food but also people living healthily.It casts light on many things,including how vulnerable we can be in front of corporations and their powerful and accurate marketing strategies.4.In the book "Salt,Sugar and Fat.How the Food Giants Hooked US",Moss focusedon ______ .A. how to keep fit.B. how junk foods are madeC. How to buy healthy foodD. how food companies cheated us5.What is the author's attitude towards the government?______A. objectiveB. supportiveC. positiveD. negative6.The author wrote the passage mainly to ______ .A. introduce a healthy dietB. expose the ugly side of food companiesC. call on the potential readers to live healthilyD. recommend the book written by MossCWhat exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science, until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene(基因) linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors(因素) in intelligence.Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses(天才) do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there’s hope for us all!7.What is the topic of the passage?A. The relationship between genes and intelligence.B. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.C. How to develop intelligence.D. What makes intelligence.8.Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?A. To make a suggestion.B. To draw a conclusion.C. To prove an idea.D. To give an example.9.What can we learn from the passage?A. Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common.B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.10.What does the underlined word "This" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The development of intelligence.B. The idea of multiple intelligences.C. IQ isn't everything for intelligence.D. Alternative views have been put forward.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)Do you have the experience of digging out your suitcase,deciding what to bring and being afraid that you've forgotten something?(1) .Hope they can transform the way you pack.Keep a Basket HandyDo you wait until the last minute to pack?Keep a basket in your bedroom,living room,or bath room that you can use to throw in items you'll need to pack as you come across them.(2) .Besides,you can just put the contents of the basket into your suitcase if you are in a hurry to leave for the airport.Buy Wrinkle-free ClothingYou won't need to worry about carefully packing your items of clothing if they're made from wrinkle-free materials.(3) .You'll still look fresh and bright when you are in them at your destination.Keep Old Packing ListsChances are that you end up taking trips that require you to pack similar items.Keep old packing lists from former vacations to the beach,ski resort,and city-that way,you'll always have a list of at least the basics.(4) .So you don't need to waste your effort to remember where you left your hand-written packing lists.Schedule a Packing TimeTime can slip away from you before a trip-you may be caught up at work,at home,or be occupied with other responsibilities of daily life.(5) .That way,you will not need to do your packing frantically(狂乱地)from the last minute to 1o' clock on the day you leave.A.This makes you less likely to forget the stuff.B.The best way to do this is to save them on your computer.C.Buy necessary stuff when you arrive.D.Determine a night well in advance of departure to pack.E.That's why I've distilled (提炼)the art of packing down to some essential tips.F.Just ball them up or put them at the bottom of the suitcase.G.Rolling your clothes is the best way to save space for the suitcase.11.

高考英语模拟试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,共25.0分)AA famous Anglican Church stands in a quiet corner of Dunedin in New Zealand's South Island.Built in 1865,it is the city's oldest church still in use.Countless couples have gathered here to marry.It's where morning tears are shared,friendships formed and comfort given during times of loss.As with many churches,its walls are graced with a collection of beautiful stained-glass windows.Known as the"John Allen window",one window portrays the short life of a local man,John Allen,who died in 1915 in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey.John was the son of Sir James Allen,who as Minister of Defense,helped plan and administer New Zealand's World War I strategy,which saw 100,000 troops sent to fight.With the war over and his son dead,Sir James chose to install a window in the church,with which the Allen family had strong ties.Divided into two parts,one depicts (描绘)St.George,the patron saint (守护神)of soldiers,while the other has an angel of peace,along with the words at the bottom,"John Hugh All Gallipoli,6th June,1915".Two trees with local birds on the branches can be seen and a kiwi walks at the bottom- reminders that John was a lover of birds."There are many war memorials in the church," says the church."However the 'John Allen window' stands out;it touches people because of the beautiful design,the New Zealand birds and because John's story,of a life so full of promise ending tragically in the war,reflects the lives and stories of so many others involved in World War I."1.What does the word"portrays"in paragraph 2 most probably mean?______A. Starts.B. Changes.C. Treasures.D. Represents.2.Sir James Allen built the"John Allen window"to ______ .A. celebrate the end of World War IB. honor the troops in the Gallipoli campaignC. remember his son's sacrifice to the countryD. show the family's close ties with the church3.What might be the main theme of the pictures on the window?______A. Freedom and equality.B. Peace and war.C. Human and nature.D. Marriage and family.4.What might be the best title for the text ______ .A. A Brave SoldierB. Window on a LifeC. Cruelty of the WarD. A Grand ChurchBWe spend a great amount of time listening to music.Most college students listen to music at least three or four times a week,and more than 50 percent of them go to at least one concert per year.According to new research,we may be born liking music,because human beings are born to find certain combinations of sounds attrative.For example,young chidren can recognizea familiar Song even when its key is changed.Similarly,they respond with more emotions to their mothers' singing than to their mothers' speech.Careful analysis of mothers'chid-dircted songs indicates that each mother's songs remain stable from one"performance"to the next,and this may encourage children's engagement with the songs.Research with adults suggests that music catches our attention by activating(激活)brain pathways that are most suited to processing music than to processing other kinds of sound.Specifically,music appreciation relies on the auditory cortex(听觉皮层)on the right side of the brain,which is specialized to process sound that characterizes music-in contrast to the left auditory cortex,which processes the stop-and-start bursts of sound that characterize speech.Although some Psychologists remain skeptical about whether music may have powerful effects on our thinking,a number of studies have shown that listening to music can increase people's spatial reasoning abilities Furthermore,It is clear that music can greatly influence our emotions.Personally significant music activates areas of the brain associated with pleasure and reward,the same areas that are activated by sex and good food.Researchers do not agree about how humans' abilties to process and enjoy music have come into being.Anyway,the next time you enjoy listening to a piece of music,remember that the most complex pieces of audio equipment are the ones between your headphones.5.Which of the following might belong to the"certain combinations of sounds"in paragraph2?______A. A song.B. A debateC. A quarrel.D. A dialogue.6.It can be learned from paragraph 4 that ______ .A. no doubt music can increase people's thinking abilityB. music simply gives people positive emotionsC. only music can give people pure pleasure and rewardD. music has a great influence on human beings7.According to the passage,the most complex pieces of audio equipment lie ______ .A. at a collegeB. in a concertC. in the brainD. in the headphoneCA great number of species make their home in the vast waters of the Atlantic Ocean.Although the entire ocean makes up an ecosystem,many smaller habitats are found within,including an open-water habitat off the coast of the Northern Atlantic Ocean known as the Sargasso Sea.Sargassum is an alga(海藻)that floats in masses that can continue for miles .The waters of the Gulf Stream push the water in a northward move into this area.This constant move and varying temperature support the accumulation of the brown-colored seaweed.The Sargasso Sea is so enormous that one method of information collection has not been enough for scientists to obtain an accurate picture of what takes place within this ecosystem.Researchers have needed to employ several methods of sampling.Methods such as dragging nets over the surface of the water and videotaping beneath areas of sargassum have served scientists well.Information collected has shown that the Gulf Stream pushes brown algae from open water into the Sargasso Sea area,creating a diverse floating habitat in an area that would otherwise not support that wildlife.In the most recent study of the sargassum community off the shores of North Carolina,eighty-one fish species were documented as using the area as a microhabitat.This is an increase from previous studies.The types of fish found here are both commercially andenvironmentally important.The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council is working to regulate the harvesting of sargassum.The Council hopes to have the area classified as an Essential Fish Habitat.Which would afford it certain protections.Further research needs to be done before scientists understand how to best protect the Sargasso Sea as well as understand how it goes about supporting so many important types of wildlife.8.The author uses "enormous" in paragraph 2 to stress that ______ .A. the Atlantic Ocean is really amazing in terms of its size and areaB. what the researchers do is highly respected by scientific communityC. the research work is complex because a large area must be coveredD. a large amount of money for the Sargasso Sea research is needed9.It can be inferred from the phrase"needed to be done"in paragraph 4 that the author thinks______ .A. the Sargasso ecosystem is worth our attention and needs more studyB. the scientific community has ignored this complex ecosystemC. the Sargasso Sea is becoming a problem and needs removingD. new methods for researching the ecosystem must be found instantly10.The text is mainly about ______ .A. diversity of wildlife in the Atlantic OceanB. different habitats of sea animalsC. methods of information collectionD. the Sargasso Sea as an entire ecosystem二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)How do you relax after a stressful day in the office?There are many ways to help you relax.(1) .It takes a little effort to get there but the benefits are great for our stressed-out lives.I am talking about the activity of forest bathing.(2) .It was introduced as a national health programme by the country's government.Stressed Japanese workers are today still relaxing and reconnecting with nature.The Forest Therapy Society has certified 62 forest therapy sites in the country and the forest bathing movement is also booming in other parts of the world.It says,"Just as bathing in a hot spring helps to soak your cares away,going for a walk in the woods is said to have a comforting effect." Forest bathing is about taking time to wander through woodland with no fixed plan or route and just expose yourself to the forest atmosphere.(3) .That's particularly good for people with mental health issues.A study conducted in 24 forests across Japan found that walking among trees lowered blood pressure,the pulse rate,thus improving our immune systems.(4) .Another study carried out a few years ago by Stanford University in the US,found similar benefits.Brain scans showed reduced activity in an area of the brain linked to the risk of mental illness in participants who took a 90-minute walk among oaks,birds and squirrels.One of the researchers,Gregory Bratman,said,"There's an increasing body of evidence showing that natural areas benefit us at least emotionally with our mood and our physical development too."The evidence seems clear that forest bathing is a shot in the arm for stressed-out workers.So now is the time to get out and lose yourself in the natural environment,(5) .A.But the best way lies in the great outdoors.B.Connecting with nature has never been more urgent.C.Forest bathing is rising in popularity around the world.D.Having this exposure to nature seems to promote well-being.E.You could even hug a tree as it could be your new best friend!F.The Japanese concept of forest bathing dates back to the 1980s.G.It also found forest bathing can decrease stress.anxiety,and depression.11.

state,且从句缺少状语,因此要用关系副词where来引导.本文主要讲的是飓风袭来后展开的救援活动.考查语法填空.本题主要考查了用单词或短语的适当形式填空.做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上,灵活运用所学的基础知识.本题考到的知识点有:固定的短语,词类的转换,名词的复数形式,副词以及祈使句的用法等.因此,这就需要在平时的学习中,牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识.37.【答案】Dear

Benjamin West,the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In htose days ,a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.The brush did nott last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the catbegan to look ragged (蓬乱). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr.Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画)by an artist. These were the forst pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.In 1747,when Benjamin was nine years old,Mr.Pennington retured for another visit .He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift.He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit.In the city, Mr.Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.The boy began a landscape (风景) painting.Wiliams ,a well-known painter,came to see him work . Wiliams was impressed with Benjamin andgave him two classic books on painting to take home .The books were long and dull.

According to a new survey(调查) by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said that they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is ideal(理想的). But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV.“More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more opportunities(机会) to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone,” says Dr. Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers’ bodies develop adult zxxk characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some zxxk school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota, changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the results.25.

The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and elderly, but in order to stay she’s had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship.Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become a more vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合). Others say it’s only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society. Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures. Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has zxxk witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy’s then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7.5 percent, with immigrants’ children accounting for an even larger percentage of births in Italy. Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.Italians always “see me as a foreigner,” an outsider, even though she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said.28.
