There are two major reasons for such absences: one issickness, and the other is truancy, that is, staying away from school withoutpermission. Since school officials can’t do much about illness, they are concentrating on reducing the number of truants. One of the most promising wayshas been tried in Florida. The pupils there with good attendance have been given free hamburgers, toys and T-shirts. Classes are told that if they showimproved rates of attendance, they can win additional gifts. At the same time,teachers are being encouraged to inspire their students to come to school regularly. When those teachers are successful, they are also rewarded. 〝We havebeen punishing truants for years, but that hasn’t brought them back toschool〞,one school principal(校长) said. 〝Now we are trying the positive approach, not only do you learn by showing up everyday, but you earn.〞In SanFrancisco, the board of education has had a somewhat similar idea. Schools thatshow a decrease in deliberate(故意) destructionof property can receive the amount of money that would’ve been spent on repairsand replacements. For e_ample, 12,000 dollars had been set aside for a school’sproperty damages every year. Since repair e_penses of damaged property requiredonly 4,000 dollars, the remaining 8,000 dollars was turned over to the studentactivities fund. 〝Our democracy(民主) operates on hope and encouragement〞, said aschool board member. Why not provide some positive goals for students and teachers to enact?56. Who will benefit from the waybeing tried in Florida?A. The Board ofEducation.B. Principals of cityschools.C. Students with goodstudy records.D. Students with goodattendance records.57. What measure has been taken inSan Francisco to reduce destruction of school property?A. Punishing students who damage schoolproperty.B. Rewarding schools that have decreased the destruction.C. Promoting teachers who can prevent thedestruction.D. Cutting the money for repairs andreplacements.58.

In the wake of the Sept.11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing.On December. 11, _, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local governments in 14 states staged 〝Operation Safe Travel〞— raids(突然搜捕) on airports to arrest employees with false identification(身份证明). In Salt Lake City therewere 69 arrests. But those people were not terrorists, most of them are illegalimmigrants from Central or South America. Governments said the workers’illegalstatus made them open to blackmail(讹诈))by terrorists. Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable(任意的)goods.I think those feelings are justified to a certain e_tent.

Ana Castro, amanager at a Ben _amp; Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport, had been working10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in theairport in December raid.

Even worse we aree_periencing this ill health in spite of the fact that we have the greatest number of medical tors using some of the most advanced medical technology than ever before. Knowing this, if there are things we can do for ourselves, webest get moving now!Thereare a few factors that can be correlated with our declining health, but I am only going to address the point in this article: Lack of e_ercise!Whilemany of you could, and probably do, have many reasons why you don’t participatein a regular e_ercise program, none of you can honestly say that you don’t havetime to walk! The human body is not only designed for daily movement, it isessential for satisfying physical function, which contributes to health andwell-being. To demonstrate my point, consider the following benefits of walking:Walkingis one of the most main movement patterns known to man. Because walking wasessential to our survival during our developmental years, our bodies have developed so that walking and movement are essential to health; as it has beensaid, form follows function.Walkingrequires the use of our arms, legs, body and so on. Hundreds ofcalorie-burningmuscles(肌肉)are e_ercised simply by walking. Walking actively on a daily basis not only results in calorie burning, it increases enzyme(酶)and metabolism(新陈代谢)thatmay result in increased calorie burning for up to 12 hours after walking aslittle as 2 miles. The more deconditioned you are, the greater the metabolic effect of walking.Increasedmetabolism means more than simply burning calories, it means that your body will be more likely to draw in nutrients from your food and supplements. Italso means that your desire to drink more water will increase, which will support all your body systems of elimination(排泄)and will improve digestion.69. According to the passage, walking can NOT make _______.A. your body burn morecaloriesB.your body take in more nutrients from foodC. your digestion bebetter D. youfeel tired for a very short time70.

Walking is the mosteffective way to increase metabolism.D. A person may not sayhe doesn’t have time to walk as a e_cuse.71. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. High risk of diseasesB.Lack of e_erciseC.Do more e_ercise D.The power of walking72. Which of the following can we infer about the author?A. He does littlee_ercises in his spare time.B. He may be a person ina developed country.C. He often falls ill.D. He often complaintshe doesn’t have time to do e_ercises.第二节: 阅读文章后,根据各小题的具体要求,简要回答问题.本节共三个小题,每小题2分,满分6分.Stem cells(干细胞), geneticengineering and therapeutic (治疗) cloning are being used in the relatively new field of anti-ageing medicine.Goldman said a calendar with picturesof actress Sophia Loren at the age of 71 wearing only a pair of earrings showedhow opinion of age had changed. 〝If somebody told you 14 years ago that theywere going to have a former se_ symbol pose in earrings only, you would not haveaccepted it or you would have closed your eyes,〞 he said. 〝Today she looksgreat at the age of 71.〞Stemcell therapy will allow people to regain lost hair, remove wrinkles byrenewing skins, and grow new nerves for patients who can’t move, Michael Klentze, director of the Klentze Institute of Anti-aging in Munich, Germany,said.Stem cells have the ability to act as arepair system for the body, because they can divide, copying other cells aslong as the host organism is alive.〝They can hope in the ne_t months they’vegot new hair, not strange hair, but their own hair,〞 he said.

Their studies found that warmerweatheris causing many kinds of wildlife to leave their native environments. They alsofound that such natural events as tree flowering and long-distance travel by birdsare now happening earlier in the year. Nature magazine reported the findings.The scientists say theresult of these changes could be environmental damage and local losses of wildlife. They also warn that some creatures could disappear completely.Plants and animals havealways had to react to changing environments. However, the climate is now changing faster than ever before. Many scientists blame heat-trapping industrial gases for the warmer weather.Camille Parmesan is abiologist at the University of Te_as at Austin. She organized one of the studies with economist Gary Yohe of Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. They e_amined other studies that followed the movements of aboutone-thousand-seven-hundred kinds of wildlife over many years. They used mathematical programs to make sure that only the best information was studied.Their most detailedeffort involved ninety-nine kinds of birds, insects and plants in NorthAmericaand Europe. They found that the area where these plants and animals live hasmoved north by an average of si_ kilometers every ten years. In Europe, somebutterflies now live as much as one-hundred kilometers to the north because ofchanges linked to higher temperatures.Professors Parmesan andYohe used similar methods to e_amine one-hundred-seventy-two kinds of wildlife.They e_amined the timing of events in spring, such as the appearance of flowersand the reproduction (繁殖) of animals.They found that these events happened an average of two days earlier than normalevery ten years.Title: 76.CauseHeat-trapping industry gases →78.77.1) Natural events happen earlier 1) Local losses of wildlife2) 79. →2) 80.3) Some creatures disappear completelyParmesan and Yohe’s study81.Places82.CaseMovements of wildlifeNorth America and EuropePlants and animals83. km every 10 years84.Some butterfliesLive 100 km to the northTiming of events in spring85. every 10 years第二节书面表达(满分25分)注意:1. 词数:120词左右.2. 参考词汇:社会主义新农村-socialist new rural;合作医疗制度-cooperate medical care system五月高考模拟考试参考答案1-10 CBCCBACACC 11-17 ACBBCCA 18. living conditions 19.Traffic jam20.advantages21-30 C D C A D B B D A D 31-35 A C C D D 56—58 D B B 59—63 B A C D C64—68D BCCD 69—72 DCD B73.

AFrom virtual tours to e-learning tools, museums and art galleries have been sharing resources using digital platforms to continue to connect with the public, share collections and stories, and support those who are vulnerable(脆弱的)during closures and the COVID-19 crisis.Hastings Museum and Art GalleryHastings Museum and Art Gallery is a family friendly museum in Hastings with a diverse collection of 97,000 objects of local history, fine a d decorative arts and natural sciences. To deal with the COVID-19 outbreak, we have launched a digital museum via the Twitter hashtag #HastingsDigitalMuseum as well as via out Facebook and Instagram pages.The British LibraryOver the past two years, our imaging specialists have been trying to digitise the globes, which form one of the most beautiful parts in the British Library’s vast maps collection. The virtual globes will be made available for up close interaction on the British Library’s website throughout 2020, with the first seven due for release on 26 March.Art UKArt UK is the online home for every public art collection in the UK. Art UK is a charity, which features almost digitised 250,000 artworks available online. Through our work, we make art available for everyone--for enjoyment, learning and research. From May we will offer users the opportunity to create and share albums of artworks as well as”digital surrogate(替代的)exhibitions”.Leeds Art Gallery OnlineThe displays at Leeds City Art Gallery have been selected by the staff to reflect the richness and variety of the collections. Established masterpieces are presented alongside lesser known works. It includes recent acquisitions and long term works from the collection. The collection is quite large--only a fraction(部分)is on display at any one time. When not on show, these may be seen by appointment at the Gallery.21.Which is the most inviting to a geography lover?A. Hastings Museum and Art Gallery.B. The British Library.C. Art UK.D. Leeds Art Gallery Online.22. What is special about Art UK?A. It is an ideal museum for a family.B. It has the largest collection of art works.C. It is a non-profit art learning service.D. It displays lesser known works besides famous ones.23. What is the purpose of the text?A To introduce virtual tours options. B. To inform readers of art events.C. To provide a cure for COVID-19.D. To popularise art knowledge to readers.BWith schools close in the UK during the COVID-19 outbreak, most children must now be homeschooled. Parents have found themselves not only having to balance work and having the children at home but also having to try and teach them. How can you keep your children focused while learning?Nicola Anderson--Head of Customer Support at the UK’s leading online tutoring service MyTutor, provides new, up-to-date tips to hearten parents at this difficult time and advises how they can structure their children’s days.One is to keep to a regular timetable so it still feels like your child is taking part in the school day. Ms Anderson said: “Children of all ages do well on routine and boundaries; schools provide this in abundance and it will most children feel secure and happy if they can follow a similar timetable for their homeschooling.”Another tip is to create an environment which is favorable to learning. She said:” The environment should be free from distractions and ideally near to an open window, to provide them with appropriate levels of fresh air and natural light. Some children find it comfortable and helpful to have quiet, instrumental music playing in the background to help them to focus, but this isn’t for everyone.”Using technology to help with your child’s learning is also advised. Many schools are offering online classes and resources to help and companies are reducing or even not charging their fees during this time.It is also important to keep physical exercise as a part of your routine. Joe Wicks, otherwise known as The Body Coach, has been keeping kids healthy with daily 10 minute workouts for children on his Youtube channel. Ms Anderson said:” It can be anything from running around the garden, walking the dog, a game of footba ll or dancing around your living room!”24.Who is the text intended for?A.Student.B. Teachers.C. Coaches.D. Parents.25. What does the underlined word“this" in paragraph 3 refer to?A Homeschooling. B. Tutoring service.C. A regular timetable.D. Difficult time:26. What may Nicola Anderson agree?A. To allow children to adjust schedule freely.B. To offer children peaceful study environment.C. To recommend high-tech to online schools.D. To combine routine with kids' mental heath.27. What is the text mainly about?A. How to improve homeschooling efficiency.B. How to obtain online learning resources.C. How to study attentively at home.D. How to design a proper schedule.CUltrasound(超声)is used widely in medical imaging, but in recent years scientists have started developing it for another use: stimulating nerves to treat disease. In two new studies in mice, researchers focused the sound waves on nerves in the spleen(脾)that communicate with the immune system, reducing symptoms. If the approach proves safe and effective in people, it could serve as a treatment for diseases such as arthritis(关节炎).In one study, led by scientists at the Feistein Institute and GE Research, mice receiving a few minutes of ultrasound treatment to the spleen nerve had a diminished symptoms to an injected(注射)poison. In another study, researchers at the University of Minnesota and their colleagues reduces symptoms of arthritis in mice by stimulating their spleen nerves for 20 minutes every day for a week. “Zeroing in on the spleen may provide a more precise approach than focusing on the vagus nerve(交感神经), which connects with the immune system via a second nerve that sti mulates the spleen.” says Hubert Lin, lead author of the latter study. “When we’re targeting the spleen we have less of an effect all over the body.”“Little is known about how repeated ultrasound affects the spleen or whether it has other harmful effects,” says neuroscientist Denise Bellinger of Loma Linda University, who was not involved in either study. An ongoing clinical trial aims to assess the treatment’s safety in humans with arthritis. A bigger unknown is how ultrasound activates in general. Scientists are now exploring the use of ultrasound on other parts of the nervous system, including the brain. “We know how to control nerves with electricity, and we’ve been doing it for more than 100 years,” neuroscientist Kevin Tracey says, “But the idea of co ntrolling nerve signals with ultrasound is a brand-new field.”28.What do scientists expect of the new application of ultrasound?A. It'll be applied in medical imagingB. It'll be used to activate nerves to treat disease.C. It’ll be applied in spleen tran splantation.D. It'll be employed to rebuild immune system.29. Whet does the underlined word “diminished" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Complicated.B. Worsened. C Decreased. D. Associated.30. What is the concern of Denise Bellinger?A. Side effect.B. Time length.C. The procedure.D. The cost.31. What is most likely the next step of the study?A. Assessing the treatment' s safety on humans.B. Activating nerves in general with ultrasound.C. Exploring the use of ultrasound on the brain.D. Controlling nerve signals with ultrasound.DThe invention of steel frames in the late 1800s meant that the walls did not carry the weight of a structure. This development meant that suddenly much taller buildings were possible, and they could be built quickly. Skyscrapers had been born, and they were about to change the face of our cities.Since 1901 the world’s tallest building had always been a skyscraper and until 1974 this was always in New York. Only after the end of the century did the tallest building appear outside North America, with the opening of the first building to be more than half a kilometer tall, Taipei 101.Tall building are seen as a symbol of success and status by many but they are not always popular with local residents. The construction of the Shard, the tallest building in London and in the entire European Union, has been highly controversial. It is only a few hundred meters across the River Thames from the Tower of London--one of the oldest and most famous landmarks in London.Many feel that such modern constructions should not be built near to historic sites. London residents should hope that the opening of the Shard doesn’t lead to a major downtown in their economy. The Empire State Building was finished in 1931, very soon after Wall Street crashed. The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur were built in 1988, just after the Asian financial crisis. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai was opened in early 2010, and shortly afterwards th e emirate’s (酋长国的)investment company collapsed.The Burj Khalifa might be the tallest structure in the world currently but its status is under threat from numerous planned buildings around the world. One tower which will probably never be built is the 4km high X-Seed 4000 in Tokyo. It was designed in 1995 to attract publicity ratherthan as a serious proposal, but who knows when such fanciful ideas could become a reality? The Burj Khalifa is more that double the height of the Empire State Building, and surely no one in 1931 would have imagined that.32. What make the building of skyscrapers possible?A. The using of the steel frames.B. The improvement of the wall material.C. The changing of the city face.D. 'The increase of the building height.33. What is most Londoners' attitude towards the construction of the Shard?A. Supportive.B. Uncooperative.C. Acceptable.D. Critical.34. How is paragraph 4 developed?A. By analyzing possible reasons.B. By stating general characters.C. By providing typical examples.D. By listing practical proposals.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Skyscrapers: symbol of successB. Skyscrapers: ideal buildingsC. The sky's fanciful ideas and realityD. The sky's the limit第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

But last week, without warning, there rose a strange and sudden debate around a question about the famous cat that even creator Jim Davis needed to weigh in on: Is Garfield a boy,a girl, or no gender(性别)at all?The argument appears to have begun when writer Virgil Texas came across a 2014 Mental Floss interview with Davis where he described his tabby creat ion Garfield as “not really male or female or any particular race or nationality, young or old.”In response to the quote(引用),Virgil wrote on Twitter: “FACT:Garfield has no gender. This. Is. Definite.” So sure was he of Garfield‘s true gender status that V irgil even took it upon himself to update the Garfield character Wikipedia page with the information。
