A
Master painter Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) was well known for having a large number of friends and students. Among them, painter Li Qiujun was special.
They got to know each other through Li's elder brother, who was one of Zhang's best friends.
They admired each other's artistic talent and became confidants, which resulted in a romantic relationship.
In 1948, Zhang produced Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape, a mountain-and-water ink painting featuring gongbi (meticulous brushwork), as a gift for Li's 50th birthday.
A year later, Zhang permanently departed from the mainland, and traveled and exhibited around the world before settling down in Taipei in 1976.
After leaving the mainland, he often said that he missed Li, who died in Shanghai in 1973.
Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape will be auctioned in Hong Kong on Oct 4. The painting not only marks a friendship between the two painters, but it deserves special attention because it shows Zhang at the top of his game as he sought to master the mountain-and-water style, according to C.K. Cheung, head of Sotheby's Chinese painting department.
Sotheby's will auction the work at its major autumn sale, which runs from Oct 1 to 5. Cheung says the painting's composition and Zhang's attention to details reflect his incorporation of traditional touches, especially from Song Dynasty (960-1279) paintings, while also developing his own style.
21. The underlined word “confidants” in paragraph 3 probably means ____.
A. enemies
B. colleges
C. friends
D. painters
22. How old was Li Qiujun when she died?
A. 50
B. 75
C. 78
D. 84
23. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape was originally a gift for Li's 50th birthday.
B. Zhang Daqian permanently departed from the mainland in 1949.
C. Sotheby's will auction Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape in Hong Kong.
D. Li Qiujun's elder brother was also one of ZhangDaqian's students.
B
A new international study shows that some people's biological clock plays a powerful role for their life expectancy, regardless of lifestyle choices.
Published in the latest issue of Aging on Wednesday, the study has found the most definitive evidence to explain why some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others.
Geneticist Steve Horvath from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led a team of 65 scientists around the world to record age-related changes to human DNA, analyse blood samples collected from 13, 000 people and estimate their lifespan.
A higher biological age, regardless of actual age, consistently predicts an earlier death, the study says.
"You get people who are vegan, sleep 10 hours a day, have a low-stress job, and still end up dying young," Horvath said in a statement. "We have shown some people have a faster innate aging rate."
The findings discovered that 5 percent of the population ages at a faster biological rate, which translated to a roughly 50 percent higher than average risk of death at any age. "The great hope is that we find anti-aging interventions that would slow your innate aging rate," Horvath said, adding that "this is an important milestone to realizing this dream."
24.Some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others because ______.
A. their biological clock is not powerful enough
B. the most definitive evidence has been found
C. they have a higher actual age than others
D. they ages at a relatively faster biological rate
25.How was the study conducted?
A. By collecting and analyzing data
B. By interviewing lots of people
C. By researching previous studies
D. By studying different lifestyles
26.According to the study, it can be inferred that ______.
A. people who keep healthy lifestyle tend to live longer
B. people’s lifespan can be predicted by their age
C. 5 percent of people are believed to have a faster innate aging rate
D. anti-aging interventions have proved to slow the innate aging rate
27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. We all should keep healthy lifestyle
B. Geneticist finds anti-aging interventions
C. Biological clock predicts life expectancy
D. Horvath builds an important milestone
C
As a Chinese saying goes, “Taste is actually a memory of childhood”. Local specialty food may not be popular among all people, but it offers outsiders a glimpse of local culture and history.
Gongcheng “oil tea” is such a kind of food that would be considered “weird” by many first-time visitors to the remote county in the north of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Many people dislike its bitter and astringent（涩的）flavor when they take a sip.
“It felt like drinking Chinese herbal medicine. I never expected that I would gradually accept it afterwards, and even become addicted to it,” said a traveler surnamed Zhang who comes from Shijiazhuang in northern China’s Hebei province.
Lang shan village is said to be the birthplace of Gongcheng “oil tea” whose ideal ingredients are green tea and fermented tea. The village has preserved well its buildings and roads dating back to late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), as well as its traditional way of making the special tea.
Lin Fengyou, 60, introduced the cooking process. She looks younger than her age, and attributes this to the benefits of drinking “oil tea” throughout the year.
The first procedure is to use a wooden hammer to pound the tea while heating it in an iron pot, and then add edible oil and boiled water afterwards. She filters off the solid residues（余渣）, and pours the glue-like green tea soup into bowls. Then, she adds salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, fried groundnuts, sliced taro and fried beans. The taste of the “oil tea” is a mixture of the distinctive flavors of all its ingredients. Local people usually eat it together with glutinous rice（糯米）balls, rice dumplings and glutinous rice cake.
The villagers consume “oil tea” three times a day. The tea soup is a healthy and refreshing food. “The tea soup to us is coffee to Westerners”, said Lin. “But it is tastier.”
28. Many first-time visitors may find “oil tea” ______ when taking a sip.
A. popular
B. strange
C. addicted
D. beneficial
29. What can we learn about Lin Fengyou according to the passage?
A. She never expected that she would gradually accept “oil tea”.
B. She is one of the reasons why the special tea has been preserved.
C. She thinks drinking “oil tea” throughout the year makes her look younger.
D. She drinks “oil tea” three times every day and considers coffee tastier.
30. Which is the correct order of cooking “oil tea” according to Lin Fengyou?
a. pour the glue-like green tea soup into bowls
b. heat the tea in an iron pot and pound the tea
c. add salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, etc
d. add edible oil and boiled water
e. filter off the solid residues
A. bdeac
B. dbace
C. acebd
D. beadc
31. Which column is this passage probably taken from?
A. Culture & Education
B. Entertainment
C. Health
D. Travel
D

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is very common for you to find yourself in an unfamiliar situation. 36 ___ Yes, everyone tells you to stand on your own two feet and take responsibility for your action, but if you haven’t experienced a situation before, how can you know what to do?
We usually try our best to do everything on our own and not to rely on others, but at certain times calling for help is the best way forward. You can picture the scene of the man--it is usually a man--driving blindly around an unfamiliar town looking for an address he doesn’t know. 37 And he could get to his appointment on time. It is obvious to everybody in such a case that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but rather the sensible thing to do.
38 ___ For example, you are looking for a new job and need to write your resume （简历）. If your pride prevents you from getting help and you just do the writing yourself, it may well cost the opportunity you are seeking. Similarly, when you just started a new job, you often don’t want to admit that you haven’t got the knowledge to finish a particular task, so you keep going and eventually make things worse than they were. This may lead to a diminishing（贬低）of you in the eyes of the boss. 39 ___ Now you can see that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but is the sensible and mature thing to do. 40 ___ Making your life easier by asking for and using knowledgeable help is not a sign of weakness, but is actually quite a clever thing to do.
A. What’s worse, you are most likely to lose the new job.
B. Actually speaking, asking for help is not a sign of weakness.
C. There are times when you know you don’t have the re levant experience.
D. If only he would stop and ask for directions, he could save lots of time.
E. However, many people tend to make mistakes over and over when help is available.
F. You will also recognize expert help would save your time, energy and money.
G. You can accustom yourself to asking for help sooner or later.

With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school. One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety schools. At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’ re qualified for it. Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information. Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state. Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools. For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest. 21. The passage is mainly written to______. A. introduce famous universities in the United Stales B. show some practical ways to apply an ideal college C. advertise for successful applications and advisors D. offer tips to save money on college application fees 22.

广州市2020年高三第二次模拟考试 英语 第二部分阅读理解(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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 WENQIANG A We can all think of times when people didn't make remembering easy. Directions given at machine-gun speed. New people introduced in a flood of names and handshakes. Whenever information is passed between people, it’s all too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and you’ll see parents who can get their children to rem ember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to imprint their sales messages on our brains. So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and engagement. FOCUS means ensuring that the person you’re talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope. IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people “see”the ideas you’re giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors. REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protectthem from embarrassment, or let them enjoy a particular experience or event. EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them laugh. The next time you’ve got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You’ll discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people’s memories into action. 21. What is the main purpose of the text? A.To report new research. B.To provide some advice. C.To explain a problem. D.To define some terms. 22. How can you do to help a listener “focus” on w hat you are saying? A.Select the appropriate time to raise the topic. B.Do something humorous to get their attention. C.Make sure the information provided is correct.

Traffic was light. The sun was shining. A cool autumn breeze was in the air. I was 1 singing along to the song playing on the radio. I pulled to a stop at the intersection and looked both ways. The road was 2 . I slowly started to make a right turn when 3 a car rounded a curve at high speed and came straight at me. I stamped on the breaks of my car killing the engine in the process. The speeder 4 past my dead car missing me by inches without even slowing down. Before I knew it a stream of dirty words was flying from my lips, chasing after the car and its driver. I then looked over to my son who was staring up at me 5 . With a red face and an 6 smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home. Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard certain, 7 words coming from my son’s bedroom. He was replaying the incident over and over in his mind and 8 enough to make a sailor blush. Too late I realized the power of those words that had flown from my lips in that moment of 9 . It took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my 10 to undo the damage of that one incident. That 11 , however, did teach me just how 12 words can be. It helped me to swear off swearing in my own life and to start using 13 that uplift and inspire instead.
