That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's(学士) degree.Jennifer grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲) a lot to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says. However, her children have learned animportant lesson, witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that's pretty powerful.4. What did Jennifer do after high school?A. She helped her dad with his work.B. She ran the family farm on her own.C. She taught her sisters and brothers.D. She supported herself through college.5. Why did she choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital?A. To learn from the best nurses.B. To take care of her kids easily at night.C. To save money for her parents.D. To find a well-paid job there.6. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?A. Her health.B. Her chance of promotion.C Her reputation. D. Her time with family.7. What can we learn from Jennifer's story?A. Hard work pays off.B. Love breaks down barriers.C. Time is money.D. Education is the key to success.CAvi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.8. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.9. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.10. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.11. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space TravelDWhen Rich Jean wanted to help his daughter, Abigail, learn to read, he took her to the library near their home in Brooklyn, N. Y. That's where they met Hasina Islam, who Jean says arose her interest in reading and the library.“You see what you started? You see that spark that you put in this child?” Jean told Hasina Islam at aStoryCorpsconversation in 2016. At the time, Abigail was 7 and Islam was 27. Their friendship began when Abigail was 3. Through the years, Islam has offered book suggestions that Abigail has read with great enthusiasm. “What's cool is that Hasina has recommended a lot of books that I, at the time, thought might be a little too advanced for you," Jean told Abigail. “Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Abigail said.Islam's own love of the library was sparked when she was in the third grade. She lived near the main branch of the Queens Public Library in New York City, and she went there to research Henry Hudson, an English explorer, for a school project."The librarian made me feel so special. She remembered my name, and my favorite thing was that she gave me book recommendations," she said." When I was graduating from college, I thought about how I was going to make a difference in the world. And I remembered my librarian，and I remembered that feeling that she gave me every single time I went to the library. ”12. When might Abigail and Hasina Islam first meet?A. In 2012.B. In 2016.C. In 2018.D. In 2020.13. What do we know about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory from the text?A. It was Islam's favorite book.B. It might be hard for Abigail.C. It was a best seller at that time.D. It was important for Abigail.14. How did Hasina Islam help Abigail?A. By offering books to her.B. By reading together with her.C. By giving advice on books.D. By introducing great libraries.15. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Islam's special college life.B. Islam's working experiences.C Islam's living conditions. D. Islam's reasons for loving library.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。

Well, they do, and you can lean to understand “horse talk” if you pay close attention to the horses you see.When horses live in the wild, other animals try to eat them, so a lot of horse talk is about staying alive. Even now, when most horses live on farms, they watch for danger. For this reason, never walk behind a horse. If you surprise it, the horse might mistake you for a mountain lion or wolf and give a dangerous kick.By watching the ears of a horse, you can get clues to what it's hearing. A horse can tum each ear in a different direction. For a wild horse, this trick is important for survival. The horse can hear something sneaking up behind it while also checking out a threatening noise in front. When a horse lets its ears down, it's feeling safe and relaxed. If horses becomeisolated, they neigh, or “whinny,” calling for company. They're saying, “Where are you? I'm over here!” If a horse snorts(哼) while holding its head high and staring at something, it's saying, “That looks dangerous. Get ready to run!” When two horses meet, they put their noses together and smell each other's breath. It's their way of asking, “Are you a friend?” Horses nicker,too. Nickering is a quiet sort of sound. This friendly noise means they're feeling secure and saying, “Clad to see you.”In the wild, horses live in herds, with all members watching for danger. In a herd, only one horse is the leader, the “boss hoss”. The “boss hoss” is usually an older female. She watches for threats and teaches younger horses how to behave. However, others may want her job. When that happens, she pins her ears back against her head and may even bite or kick to get challengers to back off. She's using body language to say, “Hey, I'm in charge here!” All horses know that the one who makes others move is the leader. Horses relate to people that way, too.Horses have a language of their own. Now you know a bit of what they might be saying.4. What is the general idea of this passage?A. Horses can talk with their owners.B. You can know a bit of horses' language.C. Horses can “talk” in their own way.D. Other animals can also learn language.5. What does the underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Lonely.B. Glad.C. Sad.D. Frightened.6. What will a horse do when he wants to know whether another horse is a friend?A. He will let his ears down.B. He and another horse will put their noses together and smell each other's breath.C They both will hold their heads high and stare at something.D. He will give another horse a dangerous kick.7. How will the “boss hoss” deal with her challengers?A. By warning or fighting.B. By watching for threats.C. By teaching younger horses how to behave.D. By relating to people.CJapan's prime minister encouraged the decision to ban viewers, even family members, by issuing a state of emergency order in Tokyo earlier this month in response to rising COVID-19 case numbers.From the perspective of sports psychologists, an Olympics without fans is a real-life science experiment that is helping researchers and clinicians to comb through the true impact of a crowd of fans on its players—and on viewers at home. The strange circumstances under which the games are held may place unexpected pressure on some athletes. On Tuesday, superstar gymnast Simone Biles dropped out of the women's team event, telling teammates and reporters she wasn't in the right “headspace” to compete. “It's been really stressful this Olympic Games. There are a lot of different variables going into it,” Biles told the Washington Post.The 2020 Summer Olympics bears similarities and differences to other major sporting events without viewers. The English Premier League supplemented (增加) game broadcasts with crowd noise from the soccer video game FIFA 20, mixed with game audio in real time. A Taiwanese baseball team and German soccer team began populating stands with cardboard cutouts of fans, and the trend caught on internationally.Jamey Houle, the lead sports psychologist for Ohio State University Athletics and a former Al-American gymnast, says competitive athletes are trained in visualization— imagining performing a certain action or motion,such as doing a roundoff back handspring in gymnastics. Without moving a muscle, players using visualization can solidify neural (神经的) connections and activate their motor cortex (皮层). To visualize most effectively, Houle says, athletes working with sports psychologists will try to simulate as closely as possible the conditions of actual gameplay. Empty stadiums may thus have a measurable impact on players' performance. This phenomenon is grounded in a psychological concept called “social facilitation”, referring to a change in a person's performance that occurs when others are around compared to when a person is alone.8. What caused Biles to drop out of the women's team event?A. The poor physical condition.B. The absence of the audience.C. The fiercely competitive event.D. The influence of crowds of fans.9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. The Taiwanese baseball team is a success.B. The tendency mentioned is popular among some sporting events.C. The 2020 Summer Olympics is stricter in preventing the pandemic.D. The crowd noise plays a leading role in the English Premier League.10. How does Houle explain the impact of empty stadiums on players' performance?A. By doing a roundoff back handspring.B. By simulating the conditions of actual gameplay.C. By using the concept called social facilitation.D. By changing the viewers of a player.11. What message does the author mainly convey in the text?A. Athletes should be trained in visualization.B. Audience should be admitted to the Olympics.C. Social facilitation is helpful to sporting events.D. Viewers present may influence players' performance.DJohn Montefiore's path to graduation from theUniversityofTorontowas a little unusual. He recently completed his bachelor's degree(学士学位) which he started in1995.Montefiore left university in 1996 and tried to tell himself that a degree wasn't necessary for personal success. But it remained unfinished businessuntil he made the decision to return in 2018 at the age 42. At that time, his job development stalled, so he made up his mind to go back to school in order to improve himself and work well in future.The second time around, Montefiore never missed a class and always sat in the front row. He found many courses invaluable and he received the Award of Excellence twice. He found support services played an importantrole in his successful return. He said, “I hadn't written a paper for years, so I found the college writing centre to be of great use. Before I handed in a paper, they would give me feedback, which was really great. The university has so much built in to help students succeed and I'm so thankful for that.” But he also met difficulties this time. As a student much older than others, he found it harder to make friends with classmates.However, no matter what had happened before, he finally got his bachelor's degree. He said, “After all these years, I had thought it wouldn't mean anything, but it means a lot. I totally understand the value of education now. It's not necessarily the value that other people see in it, but the value it gives me as a person, for my confidence and my self-esteem. It also helps me prepare well before I re-enter the workplace.”12. Why was Montefiore's graduation unusual?A. He had achieved personal success before.B. He understood the importance of a degree.C. He finished his degree at a much older age.D. He began his university study at a young age.13. What does the underlined word "stalled" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Stopped.B. Started.C. Survived.D. Succeeded.14. What can we learn about Montefiore from the third paragraph?A. He got good grades very easily.B. He took his study seriously this timeC. He was thankful for his classmates' helpD. He had difficulty using support services.15. What did Montefiore learn from his experience?A. Confidence is important in one's life.B. Others' opinions on education matter a lot.C. Higher education is a must for personal success.D. Education makes one feel better about himself.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。

2020届安阳市第四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AA Lifelong Devotion to Keeping People FedYuan Longping is a Chinese agricultural scientist and educator, known for developing the hybrid rice varieties.Yuan graduated from the Southwest Agriculture Institute in 1953 andbegan his teaching career at an agriculture school.In the 1960s, when a serious food shortage sweptChina, Yuan decided to devote himself to studying how to increase the yields of rice. He then began a lifelong connection with rice.Yuan succeeded in growing the world’s first high-yielding hybrid rice varieties in 1973, which could reach a yield of over 500 kg per mu (about 0.067 hectares), rising from the previous yield of only 300 kg per mu. For the next four decades, he continued to work on research and development of hybrid rice, achieving increasingly higher outputs. In 2020, hybrid rice developed by Yuan’s team achieved 1,500 kilograms per mu in two growing seasons, a new world record.InChina, where rice is the main food for the majority of the 1.4 billion people, the planting area of hybrid rice has reached 16 million hectares, or 57 % of the total planting area of rice, helping feed an extra 80 million people a year.Hybrid rice has also been grown in over 40 countries, including theU.S.,Brazil,India,Vietnam, thePhilippinesandMadagascar. The total planting area of the hybrid rice has reached 8 million hectares overseas.Even after a great success, Yuan never held himself back from making new breakthroughs. In 2017, his team started to grow seawater rice inQingdao. The rice was designed to grow in saline-alkaline land and survive even after being completely in seawater. His team planned to develop a type of seawater rice that could be planted in 6.67 million hectares of saline-alkaline land acrossChinato boost the country’s rice harvest by about 20 %. In 2018, Yuan’s team was invited to plant the saline-alkaline tolerant rice in experimental fields inDubai, which achieved huge success. In June 2020, his team started to grow seawater rice on a farm at an altitude of 2,800 meters in northwestChina’sQinghaiProvince. The experiment succeeded.Yuan had two dreams — to “enjoy the cool under the rice crops taller than men” and that hybrid rice could be grown all over the world to help solve the global food shortage.1. What made Yuan Longping decide to study rice?A. A serious food shortage.B. Agriculture development.C. His interest in the rice experiment.D. His wish to plant the tallest rice in the world.2. From the passage, we know that Yuan Longping ________.A. developed a variety of hybrid riceB. worked as a scientist after graduationC. started to grow seawater rice inDubaiin 2017D. grew the first high-yielding hybrid rice varieties in 19533. We can infer from the passage that Yuan Longping’s most outstanding qualities are________.A. modest and outgoingB. honest and creativeC. generous and optimisticD. responsible and devotedBHoneybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings toproduce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.As with many scientific advances-IsaacNewton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt-Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect localPasadenahoneybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs forpropulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they-predicted.Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.4. What does the author intend to show by mentioningNewtonandFranklin?A. Roh’s admiration for them.B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.C. Their outstanding talent for science.D. Their similar achievements in discovery.5. What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?A. The air weight.B. Its leg extension.C. The water movement.D. Its continuous wingbeat.6. What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fast flightB. Driving force.C. Pulling speed.D. Explosive power.7. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Honeybees can surf to safety.B. Bees help scientists make inventions.C. Insects can adapt to the environment.D. Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.CMy school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters(水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration(合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie(大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knewthatwhen we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.8. What seemed to be the TV directors’ initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.9. What is special about the garden?A. Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B. The grass grew faster than common grass.C. The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D. Underground water was used for the plants.10. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.11. How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.DDepression（抑郁症）in young adult males, ages 18 or 19, is linked to a 20% greater risk of having a heart attack in middle age, according to a new Swedish study.The link can be partly explained by poorer stress resilience（抗压能力）and lower physical fitness among teens with mental disorders.Theresearch included 238,013 men born between 1958 and 1962 who were given examinations in adolescence（青春期）and were then followed into middle age（up to the age of 58 years）. A total of 34,503 men were diagnosed（诊断）with a mental disorder.The study found thata mental disorder in young adulthond was linked to a higher risk of having heart attack by middle age. Compared to men without a mental illness in young adulthood，the risk of heart attack was 20%higher among men with a diagnosis.“We already knew that menwho were physically fit in adolescence seem less likely to keep fitness in later years if they have low stress resilience” said study author Dr. Bergh, “Our research has also shown that low stress resilience is also connected with a greater tendency towards bad behavior, such as higher risks of smoking, drinking and other drug use.”“Better fitness in adolescence is likely to help protect against later heart disease, particularly if people stay fit as they age. Physical activities may also reduce some of the bad effects of stress. Those in poor health couldbenefit from additional support to encourage exercise and develop plans to deal with stress,” said Bergh.12. How does the author develop paragraph 3?A. By giving examples.B. By listing figures.C. By making a comparison.D. By drawing a conclusion.13. What are men with low stress resilience likely to do?A. Smoke more.B. Eat more.C. Sleep less.D. Do less exercise.14. What will Bergh agree with according to the last paragraph?A. Physical activitiesadd to stress.B. Stress may cause heart disease.C. Taking exercise is unnecessary.D. Staying fit is of great importance.15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D. Fashion.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。

Students will have the opportunity to explore and develop a variety of new interests. Class schedules will be available soon. Registration starts on Sept. 7. Fall session begins Sept. 21 -22. For more information, contact Jennifer Newman at ase@ westchasepta. org.1．What is the purpose of the Wizard Walk?A．To donate to an on-going training program.B．To exchange traditional products.C．To support the building of a new school building.D．To collect money for certain programs and events.2．What can we learn about Spirit Sticks?A．They can be used as key rings.B．They are made by students themselves.C．The limited edition sticks can be bought.D．Only students with good grades can get them.3．If students want to develop a new hobby, they can get in touch with ________. A．Laura Kohler B．Nikki PivnichnyC．Laura Smith D．Jennifer NewmanI waited half an hour, set the board, and sat in the studio, reviewing my questions until the telephone lines flashed.“Hello ?”“This is Connie Chung. I’m so sorry I’m late.”Connie Chung was one of the only four women anchors （主播）to make it into the club of major evening network television news. For almost an hour we talked about the industry. When I asked if she ever had an instructor throughout her trials, she turned around and offered to instruct me. When I asked why she decided to do it, she simply replied, “Because you’re good.”That afternoon I rushed home and told my mother what had happened. Without looking up, she just said “Good for you.” Hearing this, I felt a sense of loss. Her consistent response always made me feel under-appreciated.Until then I had been searching for something that I would never get—that sense of love and acceptance in a house full of negativity （消极）.I knew I needed to get rid of all the negativity in my life first, so I packed my bags and walked out of the house, thinking a risk would allow me to open myself to the world again and receive all the positive energy that I needed.Then radio became my way of connecting with others. My ability to book high-level guests and celebrities（名人）was gradually recognized and eventually all the words of encouragement from past guests and colleagues helped me to re-build my confi dence levels. “I can do this,” I kept telling myself, and pushed even harder to find my next aim.People had faith in me, so I developed faith in myself. Their positive attitudes towards themselves and towards me helped me develop my own positive attitude, leading to productive interactions with celebrities and adding to my list of instructors.I may not have started life surrounded by positivity but I surely feel that I am surrounded by it now. It’ s amazing how positivity builds on itself.4．What was the author probably doing at the beginning of the text?A．He was preparing for a show. B．He was looking for an instructor. C．He was waiting to be interviewed. D．He was broadcasting news in the studio. 5．How did the author’s mother react when told about Connie’s decision?A．She felt excited. B．She didn’t believe it.C．She was very grateful. D．She didn’t take it seriously.6．Why did the author leave home?A．To broaden his view. B．To escape punishment.C．To keep away from negativity. D．To set up a home of his own.7．What can be the best title for the text?A．The Strength of Positivity B．My Goal in CareerC．My Ability in Management D．The Friendship Between AnchorsSome of the world’s biggest companies — Apple, Amazon, Facebook —didn’t exist 30 years ago. So what firms are we working for in 2050? That’ s a question put forward by historian Yuval Noah Harari in his new book “21 Lessons for the 21st Century”.He argues that because technology is changing so fast, it’ s one of the first times in human history whe n we don’t know what jobs will look like in the coming three decades. “So the best bet is to focus on emotional intelligence (EQ),” he said. “Information is the last thing the kids need. They have too much of it.”In this book, he focuses on the various ch allenges facing us today. As he writes in the book’ s introduction: “What are today’s greatest challenges? What should we pay attention to? What should we teach our kids?” One area where these questions crop up is artificial intelligence (AI). Harari believes that AI will completely affect the job market for the next generation of workers.His first two books —“Sapiens” and “Homo Deus” — became international bestsellers, selling more than 12 million copies worldwide. They were praised by the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Barack Obama and Bill Gates. Harari’ s books, about the past and future ofhumanity, attract a great number of fans. Fellow Israeli, actress Natalie Portman, is a fan. So is American R&B star Janelle Monae.As for Bill Gates, he might be Harari’s biggest fan. So when the New York Times asked him to review Harari’ s latest books, he jumped at the opportunity. “All the three books wrestle with some version of the same question: What will give our lives meaning in the decades and centuries ahead?” Gates wrote in his review. “So far, human history has been driven by a desire to live longer, healthier, happier lives. If science is eventually able to give that dream to most people, and large numbers of people no longer need to work, what reason will we have to get up in the morning?”8．What is the best way to help students face the uncertain future according to Harari? A．Teaching them advanced technology.B．Providing them with more information.C．Improving their emotional intelligence.D．Reminding them of fierce competitions.9．What does Harari stress in his new book?A．The bright future of the future workers.B．Different challenges in face of people.C．Lessons humans should learn from history.D．The disadvantages of artificial intelligence.10．What can we learn about Harari?A．He is Bill Gates’ good friend.B．He has a deep understanding of AI. C．He is highly thought of by everyone. D．His books are well received in the world. 11．What is talked about in all of Harari’ s three books?A．The desire to enjoy life. B．The limitless opportunities in the future. C．The driving force of human history. D．The source of life meaning in the future.Wolves strike fear into the hearts of many species, humans included. Our fear of them has brought them to the edge of dying out, as we have cruelly killed them as competitors and trouble-makers. But researchers are discovering that the very fear they put into prey（被捕食者）species is exactly what helps make ecosystems（生态）healthy.Yellowstone National Park is a typical example of just how wolves can help repair an ecosystem. An October 2018 study analyzed 40 years of research on large animals inside thepark.“Yellowstone has benefited from the reintroduction of wolves in ways that we did not anticipate, especially the complexity of biological interactions（互动）in the park,” explained Mark Boyce, a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. “We were really surprised at that and we’ d never have seen these responses if the park hadn’t adopted ecological-process management—allowing natural ecological processes to take place with least human intervention.”After the wolves were re-introduced at Yellowstone, willow and cottonwood trees increased in number. The population of bears and bison also rose and what was once a ruling deer-wolf interaction is now more diverse.To learn more about just how wolves are beneficial, a short documentary from Quest explains how the presence of wolves influences the behavior of deer, which eventually makes entire ecosystems more biologically diverse and healthy. In this documentary, biologist Aaron Wirsing explored why wolves and other top predators （捕食者）were needed for diverse ecosystems to develop. Using a simple video camera, Wirsing is gaining a unique view point on predator-prey relationships and changing the way we think about wolves.The research is one more piece of evidence for why protecting these top predators is important not just for wolves as a species, but for hundreds of species at every level of an ecosystem. The fear they bring along may be the very angle that helps save them from dying out.12．What does the underlined word “anticipate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Expect. B．Understand.C．Notice. D．Accept.13．For what purpose was a documentary made?A．To introduce how wolves behave in the wild.B．To show how wolves benefit from ecosystems.C．To record how Aaron Wirsing observed wolves.D．To study what good wolves can do to ecosystems.14．What is the significance of the research?A．It proves wolves feed on hundreds of species.B．It helps prove the importance of protecting wolves.C．It shows the complex relationships between species.D．It provides evidence that wolves are endangered animals.15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The fear of wolves is beneficial to ecosystems.B．The fear of wolves put them in danger of disappearing.C．Yellowstone National Park owes its healthy ecosystems to wolves.D．The introduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park is a success.二、七选五Cold weather is good for youWith winter approaching, people begin to complain about cold weather. 16．There’ s plenty to love about cold weather. And there’ s plenty of evidence that cooler temperatures can be part of a healthy life.First, cooler temperatures can help you lose weight. It can also help you sleep better. You might feel uncomfortable at first if you cool your bedroom down. But if you, for example, switch your bedroom temperature from 72 down to 62 degrees gradually over a few weeks, your body will adjust. 17．I have long kept my winter house temperature at 62 degrees. How did I find that number? Well, I experimented on myself about eight years ago. 18．I started at 66 and turned it down one degree every few days until 60. I found when the temperature was colder than 62, I couldn’t focus. But 62 was perfect. Another benefit for me was that it also kept me clear-headed while working at home.Interestingly, science also says 62 degrees is the magic number for brainwork. 19．It said 62 degrees was the temperature at which the schoolboy subjects of the study functioned perfect. And while we’ re speaking of work and school, other research shows that people stu dy better when the weather outside is “bad”.20．But according to a Harvard Health Letter from 2010, proper cold temperatures could be good for skin because it trains blood vessels in the skin to be responsive. So, rosy cheeks ! There’ s no reason to be af raid of winter weather. Hug it and you, too, can enjoy the season. A．I recently read a 1972 study.B．And you’ll save money on energy costs as well.C．Many people like to use cold water to wash their face.D．At that time, I worked at home and liked warm temperature.E.Most of us think cold weather leads to dry skin and wrinkling.F.The reason was that I hated spending money on heating bills.G.But if you’ re active and healthy, it doesn’t have to be a negative thing.三、完形填空“Mom, I don’ t like you,” my two-year-old son said.“Okay...is that 21 you love me?” I asked.“No, you’ re not lovely.”That night, as I washed my face, I 22 a little longer in the mirror—not because I was hurt by his 23 , but because I noticed there was no light in my 24 .I took out a pen and started writing a list—a list to 25 myself; a list to put sparkle （火花）back into my eyes.

On that day, when I 29 into my 1980s workout clothes, Jack smiled, “Mom, you look 30 .” Maybe, just maybe some light 31 my eyes.When coming out of the cold lake I felt happy and proud. I kept screaming, “I 32it !” But one of the most exciting parts of the day was when I stood in front of my 33 , which was taped on the refrigerator door. I 34 item number one. With that, I began to take back my life.Everyone taking part in the Polar Plunge received a 35 . Whenever I wore it, Jack asked, “Is that your Polar Plunge clothing?” I answered 36 , “Yes!” “I want to do that too.” I was happy he remembered I jumped into a 37 lake, and that he wanted to do activities with me.With each 38 crossed off（划掉）the list, a piece of myself is 39 . Not only am I showing my family it’ s important to 40 , but I’ m showing myself that I’ m worth it.21．A．how B．where C．whether D．because 22．A．washed B．looked C．stayed D．felt 23．A．behavior B．statement C．question D．rudeness 24．A．face B．life C．eyes D．thoughts 25．A．defeat B．save C．explain D．teach26．A．seldom B．always C．yet D．almost 27．A．complete B．similar C．unforgettable D．different 28．A．learning from B．setting up C．looking into D．participating in 29．A．jumped B．changed C．ran D．burst 30．A．nervous B．calm C．pretty D．cold 31．A．slid away B．approached to C．got out of D．came back to 32．A．did B．got C．missed D．appreciated 33．A．mirror B．son C．list D．photo 34．A．ticked B．added C．built D．enlarged 35．A．souvenir B．medal C．cap D．shirt 36．A．patiently B．embarrassingly C．proudly D．unwillingly 37．A．huge B．freezing C．beautiful D．deep 38．A．letter B．date C．name D．goal 39．A．returning B．disappearing C．united D．cured 40．A．work B．dream C．learn D．share四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式，并将答案填写在答题卡上。

2022届河南省安阳市高三第二次模拟考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Here are several best movies on Amazon Prime.The History of Time Travel (72 minutes)“The History of Time Travel” directed by Ricky Kennedy details a world where physicists develop time travel for reasons both personal and political. Dr. Edward Page was tasked with making the project work during World War n. His use of time travel then kicks off personal and global changes that play out in the “documentary” itself, This is a sci-G horror movie with great performances.The Endless (111 minutes)Years ago, brothers Aaron and Justin fled Camp Arcadia. When they receive an invitation 1o return, Aaron convinces his brother to go back with him. They find friendly, welcoming people and a lot of secrets and mysteries.

At that time she was teaching students how to use programs like InDesign and Photoshop. Students found the programs hard to learn, and even harder to use. She imagined the future of design would be entirely different. It would be online and very simple.Perkins got the idea of creating a great new product. At the time, it was just a dream; after all, she and Cliff Obrecht, another co-founder of the company, were just university students with no funding and no technical or entrepreneurial (创业的) knowledge need to create the product and the company.However, what Melanie and her then friend Obrecht ( now husband ) did have was determination. They took the plunge and created their first design start-up called Fusion Books. It was an easy online platform for designing high school yearbooks. That turned out to be a success, and gave them wings for the next step: Canva.However, they needed funding. Finding the right people took two years but there was always a lot of rejection for entrepreneurs in their early days, But every time they got a hard question or a reason why people wouldn’t invest, they stayed focused on what they could change. “The normal thing to do after your 100th, 80th or even 20th' no' would be to stop, but you just have to insist trying,” Melanie said.A key person in getting Canva of the ground was Cameron Adams, an ex-Google employee who brought the technical expertise they needed.Now Canva is a global business, but neither Perkins nor Obrecht considers that they have collected a fortune just for themselves. They want to do as much good as possible with their money.4．What inspired Perkins to create an easy design system?A．The success of her Fusion Books.B．The need she saw from students.C．Her then friend Obrecht’s encouragement.D．A university program she attended.5．What difficulty did Perkins meet at first?A．She was short of money.B．No one supported her.C．She lacked confidence.D．She couldn’t find a worker.6．Which of the following words can best describe Perkins?A．Easy-going.B．Responsible.C．Energetic.D．Business-minded.7．What can we learn from Perkins’ story?A．Never give up.B．Be true to others.C．Practice makes perfect.D．Every road leads to Rome.As for Benjamin Franklin’s kite-and-key experiment, most people are aware of the version in which Franklin “discovered” electricity when lightning struck his kite. However, several details about this experiment are unknown, including when and where it happened. Some historians even doubt whether it took place.In fact, electricity had already been used for centuries before Franklin’s experiment. Franklin lived from 1706 to 1790 when electricity was understood 0S the interaction between two different fluids (流体), which Franklin later referred to as “ plus ” and “ minus ”.It was unknown before Franklin’s experiment whether lightning was electrical, though some scientists, including Franklin, had guessed just that. Franklin was particularly interested in this because lightning strikes had caused disastrous fires where houses were made of wood. Actually, by creating a lightning rod (避雷针), Franklin helped to protect wooden buildings from being struck by lightning.A few publications reported the experiment. In 1771 Franklin referred to the experiment in his autobiography, and other colleagues also wrote about it. Notably, the experiment appeared in “History and Present Status of Electricity” by Joseph Priestley. Priestley heard about the kite and key experiment from Franklin himself around 15 years after the fact, and in his book，he wrote it occurred in June 1752.However, in a book by Tom Tucker, he noted Franklin’s description of his experiment was phrased in the future conditional tense: “As soon as any of the Thunder Clouds come over the Kite, the pointed Wire will draw the Electric Fire from them...” Franklin could have simply been saying that the experiment could, in theory, be performed. Given that his statement has a few missing details—Franklin didn’t list a date, time or location, for example it’s possible that Franklin did not perform the experiment himself.However, some historians remain unconvinced that the experiment wasn’t carried out. Franklin experts, such as biographer Carl Van Doren, also point to the fact that Priestley specified the month in which Franklin performed his experiment, suggesting that Franklin must have given him precise details directly.8．What was Franklin’s achievement?A．He invented the lightning rod.B．He discovered electricity.C．He thought of ways to control fire.D．He improved the structure of homes.9．What can we learn from paragraph 4?A．Franklin lived in the 17th century.B．Priestley’s book came out in 1786.C．Priestley and Franklin were close friends.D．Priestley wrote the experiment happened in summer.10．Why was the future conditional tense stressed by Tucker?A．To indicate he was good at observing.B．To point out Franklin was careless in writing.C．To show Franklin was just saying a possibility.D．To prove Franklin did the experiment by himself.11．What is mainly talked about in the text?A．The discovery of electricity.B．The development of the lightning rod.C．Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography.D．Different opinions on Franklin’s experiment.Road trips can seem extra-long when someone else’ s unpleasant music fills the car.What if you could listen to only your music without headphones and no one else would hear it? Now researchers in France are working lo deliver such personal sound zones that adapt as conditions in your car change.Why bother? Headphones are good at controlling what you hear, but they can be uncomfortable and even damage your hearing.Personal listening zones inside a car could let you hear well without having to drown out other sounds with high volume. They also would bring many new possibilities. Everyone in a car could listen to their own audio privately. GPS alerts (警报) could go only to the driver. Passengers could make phone calls without being overheard.Engineers are working to create these personal sound zones using multiple loudspeakers. They don’t tall broadcast the same signal, but the signals are coordinated (协调的). A listener whose head is in some “sweet spot” hears high-quality sound. But as one gels farther from the sweet spot, the sound diminishes. That’s because sound waves from different loudspeakers interact to cancel out each other’s sound.According to Patricia Davies, an engineer studying sound, creating quiet zones anywhere in a three-dimensional space, like the inside of a vehicle, is challenging. One reason is that sound waves are sensitive. Changes in temperature can change how fast the waves travel. So can the number of people in the car and other factors. A small change in even one of these can have a big impact.Still, it’s easier to create personal sound zones in cars than in other spaces. In a car, what’s interesting is that we know where the people are. The loudspeakers can be built right into the headrests.Personal sound zones will only catch on if they work as well as headphones. If you turn on the air conditioner or pick up a passenger, the sound quality can’t go downhill. With this in mind, Melon and his team recently modified an existing system.12．What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?A．The popularity of personal listening zones.B．The advantages of personal listening zones.C．The safety offered by personal listening zones.D．The differenccs among 8ounds with high volume.13．What does the underlined word “diminishes” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Becomes lower.B．Travels faster.C．Gets sweeter.D．Sounds nicer.14．Why is creating quiet zones in a car difficult?A．The speed of a car is uncontrollable.B．Sound waves are easy to be affected.C．The places of loudspeakers are fixed.D．The temperatures of passengers are changeable.15．What might be talked about next?A．What the team did.B．Who made up the team.C．Which system worked best.D．How popular the system was.二、七选五There are lessons in life to be learnt from almost everything that can be observed, from pouring water in your glass to watching a football game. Here are the lessons l am reminded of when 1 watch a sports game or involve myself in one.____16____ Like in life, you don’t always come out on top in sports. Athletes know this and know how to move on. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt, but they don’t expect everything to go as planned.I recall watching the Soccer World Cup of 2010. That was a match between Portugal and North Korea. And North Koreans lost 7:0. ____17____ In 2014 this same set of players had to walk out to the field in another competition and struck up some amazing points. In life you will not always win, but you will have to master the art of moving on and trying again.Hard work does lead to good results. ____18____ They’ve been through enough games to know the formula (公式) and see the results. After Ronaldo’s arrival at Old Trafford, he suffered a major body transformation. from a skinny boy to a muscled man. And that didn’t happen by accident. It was work. hard work. His game got better. ____19____ This principle won’t change. While we can make a lot of smart work and strategies, we all need to push ourselves beyond our comfort zone if we want something outstanding.Doing sports has great benefits to both the body and the mind. ____20____A．That shows hard work pays.B．They are rules nearly every one of us know.C．However, he didn’t feel proud after success.D．You’ re not always going to win, so move on.E．Most athletes know time, energy and enthusiasm equal success.F．As we have seen here, it can also teach us a fair bit about life itself.G．I was shocked to find at the 80th minute they were still fighting hard.三、完形填空When Abraham was 12. he developed a rare disease. After one successful ____21____ , Abraham is out of hospital and his prognosis (预后) is ____22____ —but that’s not the only good news.Over the course of his illness, Abraham learned he’ d qualified as a ( n ) ____23____ for Make-A-Wish, a charitable organization whose ____24____ is to make the dreams of seriously sick children come true.

Many of us recognize that familiar feeling of eagerly tearing open a carefully wrapped gift box, only to find a terrible woolen sweater． But what makes a good gift? The answer is very different, depending on whether you ask the gift giver or receiver．A study published this month in Current Directions highlights the disconnection between the gifts we actually want and the ones we want to give, and offers some insights that may come in handy this holiday shopping season．Psychologists have long known that we often struggle to predict other people'spreferences, and according to study co﹣author Elanor Williams, a marketing professor at Indiana University Bloomington, our ego（自我）may be to blame．As gift givers, we tend to focus on the gift exchange itself, eagerly anticipating（期待）the warm feeling we get when we see the other person's face light up with joy on opening our present． However, gift receivers focus more on the gift itself: Is it useful? Is it wanted?Williams says the best strategy may be to simply ask people what they want． "There's a misconception that the best﹣received gifts are the ones that are unexpected, but that's just not true, " he explains． "The best﹣received gifts are the ones that best match what the receiver actually desires．"Research on gift giving may feel a little dull, but as Williams points out, gift giving is something we do al the time． He adds that it plays an important social role﹣giving giftscan help us cater for （迎合）others and strengther social bonds． There is also a more practical reason to up our gift﹣giving game﹣﹣﹣every holiday season, we shell out（支付）hundreds of billions of dollars on presents． "If we're dong that, " he says, "We might as well get it right．"（1）What do we know about Current Directions？________A It may be a magazine about psychological scienceB It may be an advertisement about holiday shoppingC It may be a commercial report about people's preferencesD It may be a wall newspaper in a shopping community．（2）In which case can the gift be regarded as the best﹣received one？________A My friend gave me a ticket for a film but I was too busy to see itB I bought a favorite book but a friend sent me another copy of itC My aunt sent me a sweater in summer because it was cheapD My uncle sent me a new mobile phone which I need badly．（3）What does the passage mainly intend to tell us？________A Different feelings between gift gives and receiversB How and why we should choose well﹣received giftsC What makes a good gift in different holiday seasonsD Best﹣received gifts are the ones that are unexpected．二、七选五4.Gain Self﹣Confidence and Better HealthNothing could be more hurtful when you are deeply troubled by one simple question， have you put on？!
