2020届北京市西城区⾼考英语⼆模试卷解析版⾼考英语⼆模试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分⼀、阅读理解（本⼤题共15⼩题，共30.0分）AIf you've always wanted to start your own herb or vegetable garden but don't have the yard space or the "green thumb" to pull it off，there's now another option．The OGarden Smart is an indoor gardening system that grows up to 90 plants at one time-20 of which are safe to eat．Strawberries，green beans，peppers，green onions，and cherry tomatoes are just a few of the fruits and vegetables the OGarden can grow．Up to 30 potted plants can be placed on a lower shelf，where the seeds are allowed to germinate （发芽）．Once they germinate，the plants can then be moved to the turning wheel up above，which holds up to 60 plants at a time．It takes about 30 to 40 days to harvest the produce，depending on the type of plant grown．The system is self-watering and uses automatic LED lights to provide the right amount of sunlight，no matter what season it is．The only work that's required is planting the seeds and refilling the water tank once a week．The OGarden Smart is the second product introduced by company co-founders Pierre Nibart and Pierre-Etienne Bourget，of Quebec，Canada．The original OGarden appeared in 2017，and the Smart upgrade adds a few new features，including automatic watering，automatic LED lighting，and a water warning system．Some reviewers of the original OGarden commented that the system is easy to use，and that the vegetables taste better than store-bought produce．The OGarden Smart will set you back ﹩859 Canadian dollars （about ﹩650 USD）if you order it on Kickstarter at a discounted rate，but the company's founders are quick to point out that it will help you save money in the long-run．The system lets you grow organic （有机的）produce at a small part of the price you'd pay at your local grocery store．To see some of the buying options available，check out the project's Kickstarter page．Any orders that are placed will be delivered this May．1.What is the OGarden Smart？______A.

Sullivan wrote in the comment on her Facebook post．"I'm so happy I'm crying as I write this! He didn't give up through the storms or the fire!" she added．Soon afterward，Madison was reunited with Miguel for the first time since the fire broke out ．An emotional Gaylord said in an interview with the network that she was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her．She also expressed how grateful she was to Sullivan．Gaylord said fighting through tears，"You could never ask for better animals．He is the best dog．"4.What did Madison do during the Camp Fire？______A.

Wisdom．CChoosing to forget something might take more mental effort than trying to remember it，researchers at The University of Texas at Austin discovered through neuroimaging （神经成像）．These findings，published in the Journal of Neuroscience，suggest that in order to forget an unwanted experience，more attention should be focused on it．This surprising result continues previous research on intentional forgetting，which focused on reducing attention tothe unwanted information through redirecting attention away from unwanted experiences or holding back the memory's retrievals （恢复）．"We may want to get rid of memories that cause nonadaptive responses，such as upsetting memories，so that we can respond to new experiences in more adaptive ways，" said Jarrod Lewis-Peacock，the study's senior author and an assistant professor of psychology at UT Austin．"Decades of research has shown that we have the ability to voluntarily forget something，but how our brains do that is still being questioned．Once we can figure out how memories are weakened and design ways to control this，we can design treatment to help people rid themselves of unwanted memories．"Using neuroimaging to track patterns of brain activity，the researchers showed a group of healthy adults images of scenes and faces，instructing them to either remember or forget each image．Their findings not only confirmed that humans have the ability to control what they forget，but that successful intentional forgetting required "moderate （适中的）levels" of brain activity in these sensory and perceptual areas （感官区域）-more activity than what was required to remember．"A moderate level of brain activity is critical to this forgetting mechanism．Too strong，and it will strengthen the memory；too weak，and you won't change it，" said Tracy Wang，lead author of the study and a psychology postdoctoral fellow at UT Austin．"Importantly，it's the intention to forget that increases the activation of the memory，and when this activation hits the ‘moderate level' sweet spot，that's when it leads to later forgetting of that experience．" The researchers also found that participants were more likely to forget scenes than faces，which can carry much more emotional information，the researchers said ．"We're learning how these mechanisms in our brain respond to different types of information，and it will take a lot of further research and replication （重复）of this work before we understand how to control our ability to forget，" said Lewis-Peacock，who has begun a new study using neurofeedback to track how much attention is given to certain types of memories．"This will make way for future studies on how we process，and hopefully get rid of，those really strong，sticky emotional memories，which can have a powerful effect on our health and well-being，" Lewis-Peacock said．8.Previous studies on intentional forgetting researched ______ ．A. the pattern of brain activityB. the process of recovering a memoryC. the way to reduce attention to unwanted informationD. the amount of attention required by intentional forgetting9.According to Tracy Wang，forgetting is possible when ______ ．A. people respond to new experiences in an adaptive wayB. the activation of the memory reaches a certain levelC. people have the strongest intention to forgetD. the information involves more emotion10.Lewis continues his study to find out ______ ．A. how to control people's ability to forgetB. where to apply the findings of his team's latest studyC. what effects upsetting memories have on people's healthD. if different types of information requires different levels of attention11.What is the best title of the article？______A. Where does forgetting take place？B. How does attention affect memory？C. Forgetting uses more brain power than rememberingD. Forgetting is far more difficult than we once imaginedDThe new social robots，including Jibo，Cozmo，Kuri and Meccano M．A．X．，bear some resemblance to assistants like Apple's Siri，but these robots come with something more ．They are designed to win us over not with their smarts but with their personality．They are sold as companions that do more than talk to us．Time magazine hailed （称赞）the robots that "could fundamentally reshape how we interact with machines．" But is reshaping how we interact with machines a good thing，especially for children？Some researchers in favor of the robots don't see a problem with this．People have relationships with many kinds of things．Some say robots are just another thing with which we can have relationships．To support theirargument，roboticists sometimes point to how children deal with toy dolls．Children animate （赋予…⽣命）dolls and turn them into imaginary friends．Jibo，in a sense，will be one more imaginary friend，and arguably a more intelligent and fun one．Getting attached to dolls and sociable machines is different，though．Today's robots tell children that they have emotions，friendships，even dreams to share．In reality，the whole goal of the robots is emotional trickery．For instance，Cozmo the robot needs to be fed，repaired and played with．Boris Sofman，the chief executive of Anki，the company behind Cozmo，says that the idea is to create "a deeper and deeper emotional connection …And if you neglect him，you feel the pain of that．" What is the point of this，exactly？What does it mean to feel the pain of neglecting something that feels no pain at being neglected ，or to feel anger at being neglected by something that doesn't even know it is neglecting you ？This should not be our only concern．It is troubling that these robots try to empathize with children．Empathy allows us to put ourselves in the place of others，to know what they are feeling．Robots，however，have no emotions to share，and they cannot put themselves in our place．No matter what robotic creatures "say" or squeak，they don't understand our emotional lives．They present themselves as empathy machines，but they are missing the essential equipment．They have not been born，they don't know pain，or death，or fear ．Robot thinking may be thinking，but robot feeling is never feeling，and robot love is never love．What is also troubling is that children take robots' behavior to indicate feelings．When the robots interact withthem，children take this as evidence that the robots like them，and when robots don't work when needed，children also take it personally．Their relationships with the robots affect their self-esteem （⾃尊）．In one study，an 8-year-old boy concluded that the robot stopped talking to him because the robot liked his brothers better．For so long，we dreamed of artificial intelligence offering us not only simple help but conversation and care．Now that our dream is becoming real，it is time to deal with the emotional downside of living with robots that "feel．"12.How are the new social robots different from Siri？______A. They are intended to teach children how to talk．B. They are designed to attract people with their smarts．C. Their main function is to evaluate children's personality．D. They have a new way to communicate with human beings．13.In Paragraph 3 Cozmo is used as an example to show that the social robots ______ ．A. are deeply connected with human beingsB. are unable to build a real relationship with childrenC. are so advanced that they can feel the pain of human beingsD. are not good enough to carry out the instructions of children14.The underlined phrase "essential equipment" in Paragraph 4 refers to ______ ．A. emotionB. painC. fearD. thinking15.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage？______A.B.C.D.

2019-2020学年北京市丰台二中高三英语第二次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AI started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.1. How can we describe the young author?A. He opened a small grocery store.B. He did a lot of research in the lab.C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities.D. He learnt about maintenance from his father.2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Getting some financial support.B. Selling a tiny house on wheels.C. Reaching out to many local businesses.D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills.3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph?A. Its size needs increasing.B. Itis popular with the students.C. It has caused some safety concerns.D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage.BHundreds of children are being treated for sleep problems in Wales every year. In some cases，babies，infants (婴儿)and teenagers have been admitted to hospital in north Wales alone.The Children’s Sleep Charity said many children were suffering from lack of sleep mainly because of technology use. Public Health Wales said sleep was as important to a child’s health as healthy eating and exercise，and children with poor sleep patterns were more likely to be fat.Statistics obtained (获得) under the Freedom of Information Act by BBC Wales found at least 408 children have been admitted to hospitals across Wales suffering from sleep disorders since March 2013.Children aged between 0 and 4 made up the highest number of inpatients (住院病人)，with some newborns being treated for sleep-related problems from the day of birth.Vicki Dawson，who set up the Children’s Sleep Charity (CSC)，said sleepless nights were putting both children and parents in anxiety. “Their weight and growth may also be affected as well as their mental health，”she said.Teachers said children showing signs of sleep shortage and tiredness in class were a concern as they couldn’t concentrate for long periods.Psychologist Amy McClelland，of Sleep Wales，saida common problem was that children were “over excited”before bed and that families should get back to basics. “Think 1950s family home. Dinner as a family，read，chat，a film maybe，lights off and then bed. ”She added.4. What’s the mainreason why children are short of sleep？A. Less exercise.B. Eating habits.C. Technology use.D. Sleep patterns.5. Who are the majority of the inpatients with sleep-related disorders？A. Infants.B. Teenagers.C. Teachers.D. Parents.6. What can we infer from what Amy McClelland said？A. Chatting and films make children sleep more.B. It is difficult for children to read before bed.C. Being too excitedis good for sleep habits.D. Relaxation has a bad effect on children.7. What is the best title forthe text？A. Ways to Treat Sleep ProblemsB. Sleep Problems of Welsh ChildrenC. Sleep Habits of Welsh ChildrenD. The Problems of Welsh ChildrenCUntil quarantine (隔离期) ends, we are left picturing what sport we might do: working out at the gym, playing on a competitive sports team, swimming, biking, or rock climbing. However, we don’t often think of martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts aren’t considered a sport, right?Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts aren’t much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape, both physically and mentally. They’re much less boring and much lessarduoussport than they’re usually described as in movies, so do not worry that they need a lot of effort.Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head. Andpracticing it can help you learn to stay more focused, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.Martial arts also improve your coordination (协调性), and greatly improve your posture (姿势). I have personally seen students go from slouching (没精打采) to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts. Whichever one you like better, know that all of them are good choices.8. What can we know about martial arts from the first two paragraphs?A. They often have people hurt.B. They are difficult to practice.C. People have a wrong view on it.D. People practice them more often.9. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Interesting.B. Difficult.C. Friendly.D. Exciting.10. What is the biggest benefit of practicing martial arts?A. Adjusting the breath.B. Enjoying one’s free time.C. Correcting the movement.D. Keeping one’s attention.11. What does the writer think of martial arts?A. They are notsports.B. They attracted many teenagers.C. They are beneficial and helpful.D. They were invented to protect others.DConcerns about health, animals and the environment are leading more people to remove meat from their diet. Plant-based meat alternatives (替代品) increasingly appear in supermarkets and restaurants. But what some people call clean meat-meat grown from cells in a laboratory—is still an idea that is just beginning.More than 24 companies are testing lab-grown fish, beef and chicken. These businesses hope to enter the alternative meat market, which could be worth $140 billion by 2029. One of the companies, Shiok Meats, grows its product by taking shrimp cells and keeping them at a fixed temperature. They are then given nutrients in a solution (溶液). The cells become meat in four to six weeks.This lab-grown meat’s price is high. One kilogram of it now costs $5,000, said Shiok Meats’ chief executive Sandhya Sriram. At that cost, a single pork and shrimp dumpling could be as much as $300. Sriram, avegetarian, hopes to cut the cost to $50 for one kilogram by the end of this year. “We are looking at next year, so we might be the first ever company to launch a cell-based meat product in the world,” Sriram said. “Shiok Meats still needs approval from the city’s food regulator, and that matters the most at present.”Although people increasingly demand meat alternatives, cell-based meat companies still faceresistance(抵制) to their products. In Singapore, some people said they would give lab grown meat a second thought. “I may not exactly dare to eat it, but I do find the idea appealing because the animals in the oceans are declining,” said 60-year-old Pet Loh, while sheshopped for shrimps in a Singapore market.Any alternative way of making animal protein without harming the environment is positive, said Paul Teng, a specialist in agriculture technology at Nanyang Technological University. But, he added, more studies are needed to understand any negative result of making cellular protein.12. Why are more people eating less meat?A. Because lab-grown meat has more nutrition.B. Because plant-based food is getting popular.C. Because meat in the market is increasingly expensive.D. Because health and the environment are their concerns.13. What is the most important for Shiok Meats at present according to Sriram?A. Bringing down the price.B. Gaining consumers’ acceptance.C. Obtaining official permission.D. Getting ahead of other companies.14. Which word best describes Pet Loh’s attitude towards lab-grown meat?A. Doubtful.B. Uncaring.C. Negative.D. Positive.15. What is the text mainly about?A. A new way to make a fortune.B. Negative results of lab-grown meat.C. New research findings on healthy diet.D. A meat alternative grown in labs.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届高考英语专练之自我检测（二）1、Everyone at Pacsafe is always eager to get out in the world and enjoy new cultures, food, and experiences. With that in mind we asked a few of our top travel bugs for their best travel destination recommendations for 2019. They also included their favorite Pacsafe bag to take on the trip. Enjoy and hopefully get some ideas for your own globe-trotting adventure.Sri Lanka---Alison Hanko, Global Marketing DirectorI’m going to Sri Lanka this summer holiday and can’t wait. It’s close to Hong Kong where I live and I’ve always wanted to go. The food is supposed to be amazing. It seems really relaxing and I really want to do the Kandy to Badulla train ride, which looks just stunning. We’ve booked a good mix of beaches, some time in a safari tent to hopefully see elephants in the wild.For my bag, I’ll most likely take the Quiksilver 40L Pack because it has the built-in wet pack for my swimming suit. It’s also a great size for a week-long trip in a warm climate.Japan---Ben Barras, Creative DirectorJapan is definitely my best travel destination recommendation. The culture, the streets, the architecture, the inspiration you get from all of that is amazing. The food is also fascinating. It’s where I’m most planning to go. Tokyo obviously, but a lso visiting the mountains. You can go snowboarding, which I haven’t done for years.I have a Vibe 25L Backpack which you can pack a lot in. The thing I like most about it is that it’s compact, but still fits plenty in. I’ll pair that up with a larger trav el bag for the rest of my things and use the backpack to get around day to day.Berlin---Phil Hayes, Executive VP of Global DesignFor me, it’s definitely Berlin. I’m particularly excited about the fashion, which I hear is pretty full on. Also the art gall eries and history. Food, nightlife. Everything I’ve heard about Berlin is pretty cool, so I’m going to suck as much as I can out of it. World’s Global Style Network had the Berlin shopping list that came out recently, so I’m going to follow that through as well.Bag wise, it will be the Quiksilver X Collab Bag. It’s the 25L Anti-theft Backpack. It’s normally my go-to bag for city trips because it’s super easy to lock on the plane and in bars, and it’s just the right amount of space.1.Which of the Pacsafe bag is a good choice for beach travel?A.The Quiksilver 40L Pack.B.The Vibe 25L Backpack.C.The Quiksilver X Collab Bag.D.25L Anti-theft Backpack.2.If you are interested in fashion, which destination should you choose?A.Sri Lanka.B.Japan.C.Berlin.D.Hong Kong.3.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A.share personal travelling experiencesB.offer practical tips on taking adventureC.present cultures in different countriesD.recommend favorable travel destinations2、Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, "Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.""People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention," Coker said on the university's website. "Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity(生产效率)," he said.According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. "Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online," said Coker. "That's not always a good idea."However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation(适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office."Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without," he said.(1).What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show?A.People who surf the Internet are good employees.B.Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.C.The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.D.Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.(2).Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities?A.Watching videos.B.Reading online news.C.Reading online novels.D.Playing online games.(3).The underlined word "block" in Paragraph 4 means "_______".A.stopanizeC.protectD.separate(4).What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.B.Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.C.Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.D.People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.3、It probably won’t surprise yo u that teens are texting more than ever before. Experts show great concern for teen texting. Students might not learn correct grammar and spelling if they write a lot of text messages. Also all that texting takes away from hours that could be spent studying, exercising, pursuing hobbies, or talking with others face to face. Some kids even sleep with their phones beneath their pillows and wake up several times during the night to text.Dr. Elizabeth Dowdell points out teens need to learn that they can—and should—turn off their phones sometimes. She and her team had two teenagers, Kenny and Franchesca, carry out an experiment. They should obey the rules: No phone for 48 hours. No computer or Internet either, unless it was for schoolwork. Would these two teenagers be able to do it?“ I think I’m going to feel really alone,” Kenny worried. Franchesca was nervous but brave. “I’m excited for the challenge,” she said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen.” They handed their phones to their mothers for safekeeping. The challenge was on.The team caught up with Kenny and Franchesca after 48 phone-free hours. “Wow, it was pure suffering,” Kenny joked. “Though life with no phone wasn’t easy,” he admitted, “it had benefits. I felt less stres sed because I didn’t have to be involved.” Sure, Kenny missed his friends, and he was sad at times. But he also felt relief from the constant texting. Instead of texting, Kennywent to the gym and caught up on schoolwork. He said that the first night he slept for 10 hours. He also spent time sitting with his family and talking. “I felt closer to my parents,” said Kenny.Franchesca had an even happier result when she put away her phone. “I loved it!” she said. “I was going to the gym and hanging out with fri ends and playing basketball. I had a wonderful experience.” She slept better too, and she decided to continue the experiment for a while. “I think I’ll be so much smarter and healthier,” she explained. “Everybody in the world should try it.”Kenny doesn’t plan to give up his phone again. But he now knows that he can live without it. “It was a reality check,” said the teen.1.Experts are concerned about teens’ texting because it ______.A.leads to learning disabilitiesB.takes up their learning timeC.develops the habit of staying up lateD.causes misunderstandings with each other2.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Teens will live a healthier life without phones.B.Expecting teens to live without phones is not realistic.C.Experimenting with phone use is popular among teens.D.Teens don’t realize how different their lives are without phones.3.How were the two teens’ reactions to the 48-hour challenge different?A.Only Kenny participated in physical activities.B.Only Kenny spent time talking with his parents.C.Only Franchesca benefited from a really good sleep.D.Only Franchesca appreciated the freedom of having no phone.4.Which is the best title for the passage?A.Giving up TextingB.Rules for Using PhonesC.Two Days with No PhoneD.Problems Caused by Texting4、Children in rural areas of Cambodia often suffer from or even die of preventable illnesses because there is not any soap available.In 2014, Samir Lakhani, an American college student, saw the issue while volunteering in a Cambodian village. "I remember quite vividly a mother bathing her newborn baby with laundry powder, which is so harmful to the skin," said Lakhani. "It's difficult for rural Cambodians to access soap. First is affordability. If you earn only $1.50 every day, you won't spend $1 on a bar ofsoap. Then comes access. The demand is so low that local shops don't stock soap. The last reason, because many Cambodians don't really understand where diseases come from, they don't know how to prevent them, including using soap."After figuring out a solution to the problem: the barely used soap in hotels, Lakhani started asking hotels to donate leftover soap. "They were all eager to help," he explained.Lakhani registered Eco-Soap Bank shortly afterwards. Soon, he received enough funds to hire disadvantaged Cambodian women to collect and reproduce the used soap.Today, the organization has four recycling centers across the country, providing jobs to 35 local women. And so far, some 174,000 bars of soap have been donated, about 24,000 pounds of soap has been recycled, and hygiene (卫生) has been improved for about 661,000 people. "We are killing three birds with one stone," Lakhani said.When it comes to the future of Eco-Soap Bank, Lakhani said, "We've just scratched the surface. Lack of hygiene is not something unique to Cambodia. The demand for improved hygiene in the developing world is huge, and much remains to be done. We're looking at seven countries to expand to in the near future."(1).Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason why rural Cambodians don't use soap?A.Poverty.B.Inaccessibility.C.Unawareness.D.Tradition.(2).What does the underlined part "killing three birds" in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.Saving soap, curing diseases and providing education.B.Stopping pollution, providing jobs and inspiring donation.C.Reducing waste, providing employment and improving health.D.Recycling waste, helping charity and improving community hygiene.(3).What can we infer about Eco-Soap Bank?A.It won't be long before it expands to the whole world.B.There's little it can do without other countries' assistance.C.It will make greater contributions to the developing world.D.It will soon settle the problem of poor hygiene in Cambodia.(4).What do we know about the text?A.Eco-Soap Bank helps improve hygiene.B.Cambodian women have a bright future.C.A US young man calls for helping poor countries.ck of hygiene remains a serious problem in the world.5、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。

Due to the neurological(神经的) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. In an effort to prevent the unkind comments, Gavin’s mother, 32­year­old Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn, nine, and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.In the video, which Rebecca also shared on YouTube, Gavin’s sister Brynn starts by answering the question “What is Tourette’s Syndrome?” She explains, “It is a neurological disorder, which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements. These are called tics(抽搐), but not like a tic that is found outside. These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable, quiet or loud.”School can be hard for all kids. That canbe even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day. “I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourette’s Syndrome are brave. So be kind to them and don’t treat them differently because they are just like you”, Brynn says in the video.Gavin concludes, “Everyone could play with someone. Some people think I can’t because I’m different but actually I can. Some are afraid that I will say dirty words, but actually I won’t. The disease bothers me a little, but I’m OK.”4. What can we know about Tourette’s Syndrome?A. It can be treated with drugs.B. It is usually found at an early age.C. People with it will say dirty words.D. People with it can make uncontrolled sounds.5. Because of the disease, others often _________.A. take pity on GavinB. give a hand to GavinC. keep away from GavinD. look down upon Gavin6.

What can be used to best describe Gavin?A. Lucky.B. Helpless.C. Optimistic.D. Stubborn.CThere will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans by 2050. That is what a new report from the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation warns. If the current trend continues, the report said, oceans will contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish in 2025. By 2050, plastics will weigh more than fish. The problem is that each year at least 8 million tons of plastics end up in oceans around the world. This is the same as dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute.Not all plastic ends up in the ocean because someone throws a plastic bottle into the water. Plastic containers and other trash thrown onto streets and sidewalks often are swept into oceans. Unlike other types of trash in the ocean, the plastic never bio-degrades. There is a way to slow the amount of plastics going into the oceans — people can recycle more. Currently only about 14 percent of plastics are recycled. Research in Europe shows as much as 53 percent of plastic could be recycled using available technology. The report says that another solution is using less plastic for packaging products. But that is not likely to happen.“Given plastic packaging’s many benefits, both the possibility and desirability of an across-the-board dramatic reduction in the volume of plastic packaging used is clearly low, ”the report said. But the authors note reducingthe use of plastics should be tried“where possible. ”For decades, scientists warned that plastics are killing fish. Research shows that fish are dying from choking after eating plastics. Another cause of death is that plastics cause“intestinal blockage and starvation, ”the environmental group said.8. Why is the garbage truck mentioned in Paragraph 1 ?A. To explain how plastics end up in the ocean.B. To warn people against the ocean pollution.C. To clarify the seriousness of the problem.D. To point out some details of the report.9. Why is plastic more dangerous than other types of trash?A. There is too much of it.B. It poisons the ocean water.C. It is from different sources.D. It is hard to break down.10. What is the author’s attitude to the suggested solutions?A. Pessimistic.B. Curious.C. Unconcerned.D. Terrified.11. What can we infer from the text?A. People are not aware of the problem.B. Recycling is limited by lack of technology.C. Plastic packaging has become part of our life.D. Fish in the ocean will be replaced by plastics.DA satellite is about to demonstrate a new way of capturing space junk with magnets for the first time. With the frequency of space launches dramatically increasing in recent years, the potential for a disastrous collision above Earth is continually growing. Now, Japanese orbital clean-up company Astroscale is testing a potential solution.The firm's End-of-Life Services by Astroscale demonstration mission is scheduled to lift off on 20 March aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. It consists of two spacecraft: a smal “client” satellite and a larger “servicer” satellite, or “chaser”. The smaller satellite is equipped with a magnetic (磁力的) plate which allows the chaser todock withit.The two stacked spacecraft will perform three tests once in orbit, each of which will involve the servicer satellite releasing and then recapturing the client satellite. The first test will be the simplest, with the client satellite drifting a short distance away and then being recaptured. In the second test, the servicer satellite will setthe client satellite tumbling before catching up with it and matching its motion to grab it.Finally, if those two tests go well, the chaser will live up to its name by letting the client satellite float a few hundred metres away before finding it and attaching to it. All of these tests will be performed autonomously, with little to no human input once they are set in motion.“These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before in space - they are very different to, say, an astronaut controlling a robotic arm on the International Space Station,” says Jason Forshaw at AstroscaleUK.“This is more of an autonomous mission.” At the end of the tests, both spacecraft will burn up in Earth's atmosphere.If companies wanted to use this capability, they would have to attach a magnetic plate to their satellites so they could be captured later. Because of the growing space garbage problem, many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites once they run out of fuel or fail, so this could be a fairly simple likely plan, Forshaw says. Right now, each chaser can only nab one satellite, but Astroscale is working on a version that could drag three or four out of orbit at once.12. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "dock with" in Paragraph 2?A. Deal with.B. Keep up with.C. Join together.D. Crash.13. Why many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites?A. Because of the growing space waste problem.B. Because the frequency of space launches are dramatically increasing.C. Because they can earn large profits from it.D. Because Astroscale has found a new method of capturing the space garbage.14. What will Astroscale do to solve the space junk problem?A. An astronaut controls a robotic arm on the International Space to capture the “client” satellite.B. Through a magnetic plate remotely controlled by humans on the ground to catch the “client” satellite.C. Finding the "client "satellite and attaching to it with a magnetic plate automatically.D.

Before being sent away this boy was the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every competition. He was a champion.But the boy changed after leaving home and attending the boarding school. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like killing himself. All of this was because he felt worthless and that no one loved him.His parents started worrying about the boy. But even they did not know what was wrong with him. So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual questions about his classes, teachers and sports. After some time his dad said, “Do you know son, why I am here today?”The boy answered back, “to check my grades?”“No, no” his dad replied, “I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I don’t care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”These words caused the boy’s eyes to fill with tears. He hugged his dad. They didn’t say anything to each other for a long time.Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on this earth who cared for him deeply. He meant the world to someone. And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!Thanks a lot dad.

But this is really happening, and it's a project of NASA and two European space agencies the Institute of Aerospace Medicine at the Cologne-based German Aerospace Center and the European Space Agency. It’s called Artificial Gravi ty Bed Rest Study, aimed at studying how the body adapts to weightlessness in space.Scientists are seeking 12 women to spend two full months in bed in the fall at a German lab, plus an additional month there for preparation and recovery. The first 12 test subjects all men, already have started the study.Participants spend two entire months in bed and remain lying down even to do everyday things like eating drinking and exercising. They also answer nature's call and shower but it's unclear from the NASA website how those tasks are accomplished in bed."Daily routine showering getting dressed eating exercising takes much time when you cannot stand up to do them," says the website adding that there is “continuous data collection, including blood pressure, heart rate, nutrient absorption and also the participants' feelings. Study subjects will spend the 60 days with their heads tilted (倾斜) down six degrees which imitates(模仿)conditions in space.Participants are encouraged to pass the time by watching TV, taking online courses reading and any other activities they can perform while lying down alone in bed to relieve what could be boredom. Family and friends are allowed to visit.The high $18, 500 payment for two months of lazing about is probably a major motivation for people willing to go through something this extreme. However, if you're an American who really needs the money, you probably can't afford it. Candidates need to travel to Cologne four times at their own expense for the employment process between April and July. Plus they need strong German-speaking skills. Also participants need to be nonsmokers between ages 24 and 55 in good health, with normal body weight.1.What are participants expected to do during the study?A.Report their feelings regularly.plete their daily routines in bed.C.Keep their bodies tilted down six degrees.D.Record their physical responses every day.2.What data about the participants will the researchers collect?A.The changes in their weight.B.Their behaviors to weightlessness.C.The ways they do their dailyD.Their physical and mental reactions.3.What will be a challenge for the participants?A.The language skills they need.B.The difficulty meeting family.C.The possibility that they feel dull.D.The slow discovery of their health.4.The requirements for potential participants are______.A.challenging for AmericansB.tailored to thin personsC.easy for the youth to satisfyD.suitable for most people4、Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay, Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds inthe U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior dir ector of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smart-phones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how sm art glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meant ime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.1.What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1?A.The lighting-fast speed of 5G.B.The expectation of 5G world.C.The difference between 4G and 5GD.The internet-connected devices in our life.2.What does the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Exhibition.B.Success.C.Symbol.D.Explanation.3. We can infer from the text that ________.A.5G world won’t come without AR glassesB.5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicleC.Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwideD.Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced4.What will the author probably tell us next?A.How to fully expand 5G coverage.B.Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.C.Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities.D.The importance of infrastructure construction.5、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。

We settled in our Airbnb accommodation, a cozy apartment, not long after we arrived inHobart, the capital city.After briefing us on the kitchen's facilities and the whereabouts of the bedroom and bathroom, our hostess Geraldine resumed her ironing work, which seemed to have been interrupted by our arrival.She was ironing what looked like security guard uniforms, and we soon found out that she worked in a local prison. And when she detected the curiosity in our tones, she offered a tour at the prison in her SUV. My friend and I exchanged a “this is incredible” look and said “yes” immediately.As we drove, she told us about the buildings that we were passing, the local market and how to get to MONA,Tasmania's well-known contemporary art gallery.And of course we got to hear some background information about the prison. According to our hostess, it currently holds Martin Bryant, a notorious criminal who cheated 35 people out of their property. We could see the high level of security from the layers upon layers of wires surrounding the gray structure inside.Getting to know a city in such a local way is something I would never be able to do by talking to a hotel receptionist, and this is what I like best about the apartment-sharing experience, not to mention the fact that it's usually cheaper than hotel rooms.But I'm fully aware of the risks of Airbnb, which is why I did my homework before booking online—I checked the reviews of the accommodation to avoid possible safety problems.That said, it is the mutual trust between a host and a guest that fascinates me—the interesting feeling of building a bond with a total stranger.4. Why did the hostess drive us to the prison?A. She planned to send the uniform to the prison.B. She found our curiosity about the prison.C. She wanted to show off her SUV.D. She needed to offer a tour for us.5. Which of the following can best explain the word “notorious” in Paragraph 5?A. Unfamiliar to everyone.B. Particularly disappointing.C. Well known for being bad.D.

It offers a much safer accommodation.D. It provides a chance to know local culture.7. What does the author think of finding accommodation on Airbnb?A. Disapproving.B. Supportive.C. Neutral.D. Doubtful.CIt’s a big change from homeless teen to Yale (耶鲁)medical school student, butperseverancepaid off for Chelesa Fearce of Clayton County, Georgia.Fearce was a fourth grader when her mom was diagnosed (诊断) with Lymphoma (淋巴瘤).That began a hard time for the family. They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs. Last fall, she entered Yale and set a course to earn both a PhD and medical degree.8.

Sad and disappointed.B. Stressed and defeated.C. Determined and confident.D. Joyous and contented.10. What can we know about Fearce’s learning experience?A. Her grandma encouraged her to study medicine.B. Her high school offered her free meals and courses.C. She failed to study late due to frequent power cut.D. She gained remarkable high school achievement.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. From Homeless to YaleB. Meet American’s Top GirlC. Disabled but not DefeatedD. Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many TalentsDThe outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who overseesthe company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.12. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.13. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?A. It is boring to make comments.B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.14. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.15. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.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。
