英语高考模拟卷（六）1、The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers’ questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn’t pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together.“Why don’t you travel with us?” one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London.It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they hook a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel’s swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined complete strangers, who become close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then,I’ve backpacked alone across South Africa, sky-dived from 12,000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the U.S. with no job lined up.On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right,I was grateful she hadn’t picked up the phone.1. By “My stomach was in knots” (in paragraph 1), the author most likely means that she was _____.A. sick of riding on a bumpy busB. nervous of meeting strangersC. upset about the sudden changeD. sorry about the impractical plan2.Which of the following best describes the backpackers the author met?A. Courageous but disrespectful.B. Jobless and poorly educated.C. Homeless but lighthearted.D. Warmhearted and trustworthy.3.What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author considered it the best decision of her life to travel on her own.B. The author gathered the courage to be a fulltime backpack traveler.C. The woman missed the phone call with the purpose of traveling alone.D. Most of the backpackers became the author’s lifelong friends.2、Oxford and Cambridge have now decided to remove the words CAN’T and IMPOSSIBLE from their dictionary. Jessica Cox, born in 1983, in Arizona, is the world’s first licensed armless pilot.The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet. Jessica Cox was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word can’t.Cox graduated from the University of Arizona in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in communications. Cox has not used prosthetic arms since she turned 14. Using her feet as most people use their hands, she is able, among other things, to drive an unmodified car with an unrestricted license, to type on a keyboard at 25 words per minute, and to put in and remove her contact lenses.Jessica Cox flew in a single engine airplane for the first time via Wright Flight in 2005. Cox earned her pilots certificate on October 10, 2008 after three years of training and is qualified to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitude of 10,000 feet. She’s a good pilot. She’s rock solid, said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel’s Ray Blair Airport. Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots, some of whom didn’t come close to Cox’s abilitiesDoctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early that she didn’t want to use prosthetic devices. So, the next time you are ready to tell yourself, “I can’t possibly…” remember this amazing young woman and change your vocabulary.1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.Oxford and Cambridge felt a little disappointed.B.No armless people had got a pilot certificate before.C.Jessica Cox wasn't allowed to use the word "can't".D.The word “can’t” would disappear from the English dictionary.2.What do you think of Jessica Cox?A.She is a clever and brave girl.B.She is positive and determined.C.She is indeed a poorly educated girl.D.She only takes interest in aircraft.3.What does the underlined word “prosthetic” mean in Paragraph 3?A.Artificial.B.Damaged.C.Unusual.D.Abnormal.4.After graduating from university, Jessica Cox______.A.suffered failure when searching for jobsB.made a start to take training to become a pilotC.decided to use her feet as most people use handsD.tried her best to take care of herself in her daily life3、It’s cool, colourful and deliciously sweet, and if those aren’t enough, the strawberry daiquiri is also good for your health.Scientists havefound that treating the berries with alcohol improves their cancer-fig htingfunction , suggesting that strawberry-based cocktails may be better for us than we realized. The researchers , who were looking for waysto keep the fruit fresh during storage , discovered that alcohol strengthened the strawberry’s ability to mop up harmful molecules (微粒) linked to cancer and heart disease.Strawberrieswere already known to be good at handling the dangerousfree-radicals (自由基) , but now it seems that adding alittle of alcohol into them makes them even better at fighting disease. Said to be one of the favourite drinks of Ernest Hemingway , the Cuban cocktail contains a mix of rum (甜酒)lemon juice, sugar and fresh strawberries. Those who dislike rum might prefer to try a vodka-based strawberry martini. Even a little could be healthier than we realized.Produced naturally in the body, free-radicals are harmful molecules which damage cells. Antioxidants (抗氧化物质), including some vitamins andplant chemicals) minimize damage by mopping up the free-radicals. A research, published in the Journal of Science and FoodAgriculture, showed that treating strawberries with alcohol increases t heir natural antioxidant capacity by around a third.Strawberries are also rich in cholesterol-lowering fibre, which aids digestion, folic acid, which helps fight against heart disease, and vitamin B6, which plays a vital role in keeping our immune and nervous systems health.The health benefits of strawberries were recognized hundreds of years ago, like the berries easing ills from sadness to liver disease.1.What is “strawberry daiquiri” in the first paragraph?A.A drink.B.Fruit sugars.C.A dessert.D.Molecules.2.What can be known from the text?A.Hemingway liked martini most.B.Strawberries can help adjust emotions.C.It’s best to store strawberries in alcohol.D.Vitamin B6 can reduce the risk of heart disease.3.What topic does the text focus on?A.Alcohol can help reduce free-radicalsB.Fresh strawberries are healthier for usC.Fruits with alcohol are good for healthD.Strawberries with alcohol can help fight diseases4.From which is the text probably taken?A.A biology textbook.B.A gardening paper.C.A health magazine.D.A medical brochure.4、An unconventional new initiative(首创)in Canada will soon allow doctors to prescribe art to their patients—by giving them free access to a local museum．Wandering through the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts(MMFA)，these patients and their loved ones will be able to feast their eyes on the peaceful collections of art．The initiative is the first of its kind in the world．And while you certainly can’t replace a conventional treatment with a couple of paintings，the idea is for such“prescriptions”to assist a person’s current treatment plan．Under the new program，members of the Francophone Association of Doctors in Canada(MFDC)will be able to hand out up to 50 prescriptions for their patients．These prescriptions will be available for those with a wide range of mental and physical illnesses，and each of them will allow two adults and two children to visit the museum for free．“By offering free admission to a safe，welcoming place，a relaxing experience，a moment of relief，and an opportunity to strengthen ties with loved ones，MMFA —MFDC Museum Prescriptions contribute to the patient’s well-being and recovery，”explains a news conference from the MMFA．It may look a lot like a marketing effort for the museum but there’s also increasing evidence that the display of visual art，especially if it’s showing nature，can have positive effects on health outcomes．In some ways，the benefits of looking at art appear a little similar to physical activity．A systematic review of clinical art therapy(疗法) found that visual art has significant and positive effects on depression，anxiety，mood，and self-esteem．Findings like these are slowly gaining attraction in the medical community，making artwork a higher priority(优先)in hospitals around the world．In the US，nearly half of all health care institutions have reported including art in health care programming，such as art therapy and the placement of visual art in hospitals．With spaces dedicated(专用的)to art therapy and also a medical consultation room，the MMFA already provides services for people with mental health issues，eating disorders，and Alzheimer’s disease，just to name a few．1．How will some Canadian doctors treat their patients?A．Introducing fine arts to their patients．B．Feasting them in a peaceful and welcoming place．C．Keeping them company through the Montreal Museum．D．Giving them a prescription to access a local museum for free．2．MMFA thinks the new initiative in Canada can be_______．A．a help with patients’recovery B．a chance to make friendsC．the best option for the treatment plan D．a substitute for conventional treatment3．Why does the museum join in the program?A．To make visual art known to the public．B．To promote the museum into market．C．To strengthen ties with doctors．D．To advance the science of medicine．4．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Fine arts will take the place of medicine．B．Artists rarely suffer from some mental diseases．C．More than 50 prescriptions are available for patients．D．Art will be included in Canadian doctors’prescriptions．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。

A (2019·长沙市模拟)On average，Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices(设备) and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors.That is a claim made by David Strayer，a professor of psychology at the University of Utah.In his 2017 TED Talk，Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired。

Using an electronic device to answer e­mails，listen to the news and look at social media puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain，which,Strayer explains,is important for critical（有判断力的) thinking，problem。

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)It was early in 1981 when I first met George. I was in my early 30s, seeking a creative outlet unrelated to the humdrum of housework and raising little ones. My children, then aged three and five, were just entering kindergarten and school life. At 65, George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years. For both of us, painting was 4it1 and we metat a local TAFE painting class. Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years—until the day he died.In the late 1950s, George arrived in Western Australia from Britain with his wife and two children. He wasn’t a tall man but was as neat as a pin, with a mouthful of large teeth and glasses that gave his blue eyes a Bambi-like appearance. George was a man who lived life to the full; he worked hard, played hard, and had an opinion about everything. He loved his wife, his family, his friends, and was loyal and outspoken to the equal degree. A slim and vigorous man, George took pride in his fitness and health and walked three kilometres every day. “”I’d no more go without my walk than without brushing my teeth,” he’d say.And as the only male in a painting class full of women, George was in his element. He loved his singular role and looked after his brood with the same attention he gave to everything.He took to painting with passion and commitment, even turning the spare bedroom of his home into a studio. His painting equipment was comprehensive—an easel, quality paints, linseed oil, turpentine, brushes, palette, canvases, charcoal pencils, fixative, palette knives—even a rolling pin for removing air bubbles when gluing. Ever practical, George housed many of these items in a tool box-a red metal tool box-built to take hard knocks and purchased from a local hardware store. For about six years George and I studied together through various units until the completion of the course and other commitments drew us apart, though we always maintained personal contact as we lived within a couple of kilometres of each other. Td sometimes see him on his daily walk or at the local shops and occasionally we'd touch base with a ‘proper’ afternoon tea, sharing a cuppa and a chinwag.56.Why did the author start to learn painting?A.To find a lasting and rewarding friendship.B.To take a break from her boring family life.C.To develop a hobby for her future golden years.D.To realize her long-held dream of becoming a painter.57.The phrase “his brood”（in paragraph 3) most probably refers to__________.A.George’s interestB.George’s toolsC. George’s familyD.George’s classmates58.In the author’s eye, George was a person who__________A.desired a luxurious lifeB.was enthusiastic about sportsC. cared little about his appearanceD.seldom told others about his opinion59.What is the author most likely to deal with in the paragraphs that follow the passage?A.What happened on the day George died.B.Why she became a painter while George didn’t.C.How she and George turned away from each other.D.Where George used to live before coming to Australia.(B)Reading the following passage about some words and answer the questions that follow.ENERV ATED People think it means “energized.” But it really means ‘"weakened.” The wordnervus originally referred to muscles and tendons (腱), but around the 1600s it became a byword for strength and vigor. Enervate first meant “to cut the nerves or tendons” and later came to mean ‘"to lessen the vitality or strength of.”FACTOID People think it means “a fun, unimportant fact”.But it originally meant “a fun, false fact.” Coined by Norman Mailer in 1973 to describe “facts’, invented by reporters, this word can (confusingly) describe both true and false information. But for Mailer’s intended meaning, look to the suffix: -oid. If a humanoid resembles a human (but isn9t one) and a planetoid resembles a planet (but isn’t one), it follows that a factoid resembles a fact—but isn’t one. INFLAMMABLE People think it means “fireproof.” But it really means “easily inflamed.” Yep, flammable and inflammable mean the same exact thing. Make sure your home is equipped with a fire extinguisher (and a dictionary).NOISOME People think it means “noisy.” But it really means “offensively smelly.” While a “noisome neighbor” will offend your senses，it’s not your sense of hearing you need to worry about. Noisome actually comes from the same root word as annoying-the Anglo-French anui. NONPLUSSED People think it means “un-disturbed.” But it really means “in trouble.” The word comes from the Latin non plus, meaning “no more，” as in，“I am in a state where I can say，thinks or do no more. I am nonplussed.”60.The five words introduced in the passage are similar in that__________.A.they were all coined by news reportersB.they all convey some negative meaningC.they all mean the opposite of what they sound likeD.they are all used to show the development of language61.The word “__________’’ means “something untrue”.A.enervatedB. factoidC. inflammableD. nonplussed62.Which of the following words fits best in the blank of the sentence “This tool will not be used in an explosive or__________atmosphere.”A.enervatedB. flammable C noisome D. nonplussed(C)There are more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes in the world, and if Jodi Holeman could, she’d catch one of each. She can identify the bugs down to the genus, and usually the species, by sight. She has only 19 kinds pinned in her collection but carries plastic bags wherever she goes so she can capture more. Though its unlikely a new variety will pop up as she jogs through the backwoods of Clovis, California, where she resides, Holeman says, “You don’t know what you’ll find if you don’t bother to look.” Holeman has more than a personal interest in these pests. She’s the scientific-technical services director at Fresno County’s Consolidated Mosquito Abatement District and leads the field team of Debug Fresno, the largest experimental mosquito sterilization (杀菌）and control program in the United States. Debug Fresno aims to decrease the county’s invasive Aedes aegypti population, whose females bite and can carry the Zika virus and yellow fever.The winged aggressors have not been responsible for any illness in her area so far, butthe possibility of active infection is “always in the back of our minds,” she says.County health officials first detected A. aegypti in 2013, and since then, their numbers have jumped. The district found help this year by partnering on Debug Fresno with Verily. Verily raises batches of male A. aegypti and infects them with the bacteria Wolbachia pipientis. Females that mate with these males produce eggs that never hatch, thereby reducing the mosquito population, number of bites, and risk of human illness. Holeman *s team at Debug Fresno released more than 1 million Wolbachia-infected males weekly for 20 weeks, automatically letting them flying out of the open window of a van that drove through targeted neighborhoods.Holeman has been passionate about helping area residents since earning a biology degree at California State University at Fresno nearly 15 years ago, when she began working for the district. Still, it was an unexpected career path. She originally wanted to become a vet, that is, a doctor for animals, and reluctantly took an entomology class to fulfill a requirement. When theprofessor spoke of mice “screaming” during an experiment, Holeman’s perspective shifted. Bugs, unlike most creatures, don't have pain receptors. Entomology allowed her to work with animals without causing suffering.Holeman hopes that Debug Fresno can hit its year-end target of reducing the local female A. aegypti population by at least 90 percent. The data so far looks “promising,” she says. Holeman points out that in mosquito control, “we tend not to say the word 'eliminate,”’ but she wouldn’t be upset if this non-native bug disappeared from the county she calk home.63.Why does the writer mention the fact that Jodi Holeman carries plastic bags where she goes?A.To call for the public to pay attention to health.B.To highlight her enthusiasm about mosquitoes.C.To remind the readers of the danger of mosquitoes.D.To illustrate that the mosquito population is getting larger.64.Jodi Holeman’s team hopes to decrease the county’s Aedes aegypti population byA.making female ones lay eggs that will never hatchB.infecting female one with Wolbachia pipientisC.killing as many male ones as possible in the areaD.caging male ones in a van that drove along65.Why did Jodi Holeman decide to work with bugs?A.She wasn't confident whether she could become a vet.B.She wanted to help the area where she lived.C.She found herself more interested in pests.D.She didn’t want to see animals’ suffering.66.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The year-end target of Debug Fresno seems hard to realize.B.The local female Aedes aegypti population has been dropping.C.It is just a short-term aim for Debug Fresno to eliminate mosquitoes.D.Non-native bugs disappear from the country more easily than native ones.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.

According to Nina Amir, inspiration to creation coach and author of How to Blog a Book: How to Write, Publish, and Promote Your Work One Post at a Time, there's one major issue in the very concept.“Posts are typically not written with a book in mind,” she says. “_____67____” A reader can tell right away if a book is just recycled blog content put together into a lazy book. You might be able to self-publish such a book and get a few buyers via upsells off your website. But a good blog- turned-book is one that takes the subject of your site and goes from there. Amir says you should start planning based on one such topic, 44then determine what posts work in that framework. _____68____”Literary agent Maria Ribas of Stonesong, who also blogs at Cooks & Books (cooksplusbooks. com), gets asked about blog-turned-book deals a lot. How many readers do you need? How many page views, followers, or comments does it take to show an editor that you9re worth publishing?With the disclaimer that every agent or situation is different, Ribas says that ua great goal for a blogger to have is 50,000 true fans.” By true fans, Ribs means people 4tyou feel certain would buy your book within 6 to 12 months of launch or even pre-order it before it releases.” ____69_____.That’s platform. That’s an author’s relationship with the audience, wherever that comes from -remember how Friedman said that was what made blogs a fertile ground for publishing inthe first place?Ribas suggests a formula like this: platform + concept + storytelling = a successful book.____70_____. But the book gets off the ground at least with the other strengths making up for it, and it’s key to show publishers all of your skills.IV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage.

Use your own words as far as possible.Artists as Scientists and EntrepreneursCharles and Ray Eames are among the best-known designers of the 20th century. Together, this husband-and-wife team mastered many art forms including furniture design, architecture, painting, and photography. At heart, they were artists, yet their skills in science and business also enabled them to succeed in the design world.It is clear that the Eameses had a great deal of artistic talent. In 1946, they produced “the most talked-about chairs of the year,” according to Hose& Garden magazine. In addition, the couple also designed inexpensive, practical houses. All of the Eameses, works represented their central idea about design. They made things that were modem and useful but attractive.As well as being attractive, their designs also indicate their strong interest in science. The couple worked with top scientists to create products that met their own high technical standards. For instance, they created new manufacturing methods. They connected chair parts with heat and glue, a technique called “electronic bonding.” They also used rubber to join the backs and seats of their chairs to distribute the weight of the user.They also used successful business practices. From 1943 to 1988, the Eames Office near Los Angeles served as a large workshop. Teams of artists produced furniture, photographs, and paintings for customers. In all of their work, the couple was guided by a strong customer focus. “Early in their careers together, Charles and Ray identified the need for affordable, yet high-quality furniture for the average consumer—furniture that could serve a variety of users, according to the U.S. Library of Congress. Their furniture had strong sales beginning in the mid-20th century and still sells well today.Charles and Ray Eames were extraordinary artists. They used their science and business talents to help them create beautiful art.V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.他没有出门带伞的习惯。
