2020届新高考英语新题型练习完形填空阅读理解七选五套餐练（1）完形填空（山东省临沂市2020年高三上学期期末考试）Three years ago，I participated in Model United Nations(MUN)held by the Education Department，which was a mock(模拟的)UN activity．During the two days，students are separated in different groups which 21 different countries to debate and try to solve problems．MUN has 22 awards：best delegates(代表)，honorary mentions，and verbal mentions．Each time I participate in MUN，I made good 23 and undoubtedly got a few awards．But I often felt as if I’d 24 because I had never won the best delegate award．I 25 those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times，and I was just filled with 26 at their success．But later I realized that it was also 27 not to get the award because I could actually 28 something，and that I shouldn’t 29 the best delegate award until I was the best delegate I could be．Failures are completely subjective—we can look at a result as a failure or a 30．Any failure can be regarded as a(n) 31 because you can always learn something from it and do 32 next time．This is supported by John Locke’s theory that we are born with blank views：knowledge and ability are learned from our 33．That’s true．If I make a mistake in the life practice，then I probably won’t 34 that next time．I believe this is 35 the best way to become better．21．A．strengthen B．condemn C．inspire D．represent 22．A．identical B．temporary C．various D．false 23．A．preparations B．predictions C．appointments D．explanations 24．A．accelerated B．failed C．exited D．succeeded 25．A．approached B．trained C．expected D．witnessed26．A．relief B．envy C．satisfaction D．delight 27．A．annoyed B．ashamed C．good D．terrible 28．A．desert B．1earn C．delete D．display29．A．win B．miss C．deliver D．value30．A．bond B．bet C．victory D．1oss31．A．aim B．benefit C．burden D．1imit32．A．funnier B．worse C．better D．slower33．A．decisions B．attitudes C．positions D．experiences 34．A．repeat B．admit C．accept D．notice 35．A．wrongly B．scarcely C．truly D．narrowly阅读理解（山东师大附中2017级第三次月考）AI was in the garden with Augie, my grandson, watching the bees. “How do they make honey?” Augie asked. “Actually, Augie, I don’t know,” I replied. “But, Grandma, you have your phone,” he said. For Augie, holding a smartphone almost means knowing everything.During my childhood I was crazy about books. Over time, reading hijacked my brain, as large areas once processing the real world adapted to processing the printed word. As far as I can tell, this early immersion (沉浸) didn’t prevent my development.Many parents worry that “screen time” will damage children’s development, but recent research suggests that most of the common fears about children and screens are unfounded. There is one exception: looking at screens before bed really disturbs sleep, in people of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) used to recommend strict restrictions on screen exposure. Last year, the organization examined the relevant science more thoroughly and changed its recommendations. The new guidelines stress that what matters is what children watch and with whom.New tools have always led to panic guesses. The novel, the telephone, and the television were all declared to be the End of Civilization, particularly in the hands of the young. Part of the reason may be that adult brains require a lot of focus and effort to learn something new, while children’s brains are designed to master new environments naturally. New technologies always seem disturbing to the adults attempting to master them, while attractive to those children likeAugie.When Augie’s father got home, Augie rushed to meet him and said in excitement. “Daddy, Daddy, look,” he said, reaching for my phone. “Do you know how bees make honey? I’ll show you…”21. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “hijacked” in Paragraph 2?A. occupied.B. damaged.C. improved.D. relaxed.22. What do the new guidelines of AAP focus on about “screen time”?A. The harm to children.B. The content and context.C. Children’s sleep.D. People’s fears.23. What might be the author’s attitude towards “screen time”?A. Opposed.B. Doubtful.C. Disappointed.D. Favorable.BToday companies have branches around the world. More than 11% of the US employers and employees work online either full-time or part-time, and that number is continuing growing. It is believed that it is a waste of time and money to fly around the world for face-to-face meetings. An effective solution to this problem is to use Web meetings.A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience. Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use in presentations or training projects or downloaded for on-demand playback.Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users’ desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, and how long the distraction lasts. In this way, the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.Web meetings can work well because they’re hosted on a server (服务器). Images from the presenter’s desktop are taken, uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have accessto the server. Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and “serve” them back to thousands of users at the same time.Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on-site, or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off-site provider worry about hosting the meetings. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings, the average number of people attending the meetings, and the quality of engineering and information technology.Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.24.What is the disadvantage of the traditional meeting?A.It needs more people to organize it.B.It is expensive and time-consuming.C.It results in traffic accidents frequently.D.It fails to meet the demands of big companies.25.How do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings?A.By presenting successful documents.B.By recording the frequency of distraction.C.By tracking the listeners’ state of attention.D.By taking surveys about a successful meeting.26.What do you know about Web meetings according to the text?A.Web meetings are likely to be widely used.B.Web meetings help presenters stay focused.C.Web meetings determine the quality of engineering.D.Web meetings work well without the help of a server.CEvery year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes – and finds that alumni (毕业生) of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated the teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought t hat it was one of the most important experiences they’d ever had, regardless of age. And two-thirds said that they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults.Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys by the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts is significantly associated with their income and educational attainment as adults. Other studies have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.27. What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Changing the course of children’s life.B. Participating in childhood art programs.C. Organizing arts-based museum programs.D. Remembering the time at museum events.28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell?A. The result of the study.B. The process of the study.C. The approach to the study.D. The object and content of the study.29. What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text?A. Passion for arts may remain long in kids’ whole life.B. No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts.C. Age matters in how people view their art experiences.D. Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts.30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How is Art Connected to Our Life?B. Can Art Education Affect Our Income?C. What Should Art Museums do for Kids?D. Should Children Walk into Art Museums?七选五（山东师范大学附属中学2020届高三第三次月考）Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.31 We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 32Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. 33Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we oncesaid. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: 34 If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. 35 Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.A.Is it loving?B.How should I say it?C.We all talk to ourselves sometimes.D.Negative words destroy all those things.E.Generally people like positive and pleasant words.F.However, critical language may cause anger and defense.G.So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.参考答案完型填空21-25DCABD 26-30 BCBAC 31-35 BCDAC阅读理解21-25ABD BC 26-30 ABDAD七选五CGFAD。

AFormal Afternoon TeasA pot of tea,a plate of finger sandwiches and a selection of pastries and scones:In America, this wonderful way to wile away the afternoon is commonly,though mistakenly,known as“high tea.”In Britain,where it originated,“high tea”is simply an old-fashioned name for the evening meal;it’s also called“meal tea.”The light,elegant,scone-centric meal served at fancy hotels is called“low tea”or“afternoon tea”.Whatever you call it,here are four places to get afternoon tea on Long Island.Prices are per person.Chat Noir230Merrick Rd.,Rockville Centre516-208-8521,Owner Emma Tso is a talented pastry chef,and her afternoon tea($22)includes sandwiches, miniature pastries,warm scones,cream and jam and a pot of tea.Open7days a week.

According to our own experience,we know there is actually calm before the storm.But what causes this calm?And is it always calm before the storm?A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm,the simplest kind of storm---a single-cell thunderstorm.In this type of thunderstorm,there is usually only one main stream of current,which is warm,damp air and drawn from places near the ground.Storms need warm and damp air as fuel,so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment.Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directions—even from the direction in which the storm is traveling.As the warm,damp air is pulled into a storm system,it leaves a low-pressure vacuum(真空) coming after.The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm,damp air drops,and the water vapor in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain.These drops accumulate and build on larger particles(颗粒) like dust,until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm,damp air keeps moving upwards,but it becomes cooler and drier during its tripthrough cloud.When it reaches the top of the cloud,the air is squeezed out at the top.This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds.From there,the air goes down.Warm and dry air is relatively stable,and once it covers a region,that air,in turn,causes the calm before a storm.Most thunderstorms,though,don't start with calm.That's because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns.There's so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens.Instead,before the storm,it might be really windy!28.Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm?A.A thunderstorm with a single shape.B.A thunderstorm without strong winds.C.A storm with air drawn from every direction.D.A storm fueled by moving air from the ground.29.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph3refer to?A.Warm and wet air.B.Warm and dry air.C.Cold and wet air.D.Cold and dry air.30.Which does the writer most likely agree to?A.Presence of the calm relies on stable air.B.All thunderstorms don’t start with the calm.C.The drier the air is,the bigger the storm will be.D.Storm happens without air moving up and down.31.What is the passage mainly about?A.A brief introduction of a peaceful storm.B.A personal experience of a heavy storm.C.An explanation of the calm before a storm.D.An analysis of causes and effects of a storm.DAs the international demand for narrative(叙事的)film/TV content continues to increase withpopular streaming services like Netflix and others the two questions then come:will the coming generations receive most of their entertainment through visual means rather than through the written word and will such an increase of narrative film/TV reduce the importance of reading?Growing examples of this trend include the diminishment(减少)of fiction in the common core(核心的)curriculum,the ever－rising culture of computer games,the wave of streaming services of wide international reach,and movies filled with special effects made for children and teenagers.Nor must we ignore the economic dangers that lie ahead for the written word.The narrative film industry is a moneymaker that dwarfs(使相形见绌)the publishing industry.The other underlying question,of course,is“does it really matter if the written word bows to the world of film/TV?”From my point of view,any diminishment of fiction delivered by words is a loss for mankind.There is no greater human feature than the imagination.It lies at the very soul of the human species.It is the brain’s most powerful engine.It is the essential muscle of life and like all muscles it must be exercised and strengthened.Writing and reading are the principal tools that inspire,create and empower our imagination.Anything that diminishes that power is the enemy of mankind.It should be known that I am not opposed to new media and technological advances. Instead,I have always felt it necessary to adapt to advancing technology.In fact,a number of my novels are in various stages of development for film,TV,and live stage productions.My hope is that the written word will only stand to be complemented(补充)by its visual counterparts(对应物),not pushed to the edge of extinction.Of course,there are those who will present arguments for the superiority of the moving image over the written word.Each has its place.My argument is for finding the right balance between it and the moving image.32.In what way does narrative film/TV embarrass the written word?A.Economic benefitsB.International reachC.Cultural influencecational importance33.Why does the author value the role of the written word?A.It strengthens our muscles.B.It helps sharpen imagination.C.It distinguishes man from each other.D.It paves the way for narrative film/TV.34.What is the author’s attitude towards technology?A.CautiousB.SkepticalC.PositiveD.Critical35.What’s the author concerned about?A.The fate of reading.B.The extinction of fiction.C.The impact of the written word.D.The future of the moving image.参考答案21-23CAD24-27BCAD28-31DABC32-35ABCA题型训练阅读理解（二）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

We each is thinking about the future. What is me? I have made up my mind become a middle school teacher. Does it sound surprising? I begin to have this dream when I was only the child. I love children. I don’t think that is a waste of time to deal with them all the year around. On the contrary, to me it would mean happiness and joyful. Although teachers are badly needed in our country, but not many of us want to become teachers. The main reason for this is that teaching is one of the most stressed jobs. In spite of that, I’m determined to give all my lives to the cause of education.第二节书面表达（满分25分）假定你是李华，你的美国朋友Tom在学习中国文化时读到中国成语“囊萤映雪”,向你求助了解其寓意并了解有关知识，请给他回信，要点如下：1. 该成语的寓意；2. 中国成语的特点（简洁有意义，源自文学经典，历史故事，民间口语）注意： 1. 词数100左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。

And sure enough, that summer she signed with a modeling agency. She was already doing runway work.One day, Hannah and I went to the movies. On t he way home, we stopped at the McDonald’s drive-through, putting the fries on the seat between us to share. “Let’s ride around a while,” I said. It was a clear night, moonlight shone over the desert. Taking a turn too fast, I hit a patch of dirt and fishtailed.There were French fries on the floor. An impossible amount of blood on Hannah’s face. They took us in separate ambulances. In the ER, my parents spoke quietly: Best plastic surgeon in the city. End of her modeling career.We’d been wearing lap belts, but the car didn’t have shoulder harnesses. I’d cracked my cheekbone; Hannah’s forehead had split wide open. What would I say to her?When her mother, Sharon, came into my hospital room, I started to cry, bracing myself for her anger. She sat beside me an d took my hand. “I almost ended my best friend when I was your age,” she said, “I 此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号“I’m so sorry,” I said.“You’re both alive,” she said, “The rest is window dressing.” I started to protest, and Sharon stopped me. “I forgive you.

Researchers have developed a book with specially treated pages that can turn dirty water into clean and drinkable water. They say their invention could improve the lives of many in the developing world.About 700 million people around the world are at risk of disease or even death because their drinking water is not clean. The water is polluted by harmful bacteria.The book contains 25 pages. Each page is about one millimeter thick. The pages contain very small particles(微粒) of silver. The pages can be used as filters(过滤器) to remove harmful microorganisms(微生物) that can pollute drinking water. The filter kills the organisms that pass through it.Pictures on the pages show the dangers of dirty water and how to use the book for those unable to read. The pages are made of filter paper. They are designed to be torn from the book. Water can be poured through the paper to be cleaned.Ms. Dankovich, the inventor, says each page can treat up to 100 liters of water. She recently presented her invention at the meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston, Massachusetts. She was asked whether she had considered adding classic literature on the book’s page s.“The idea of classic texts—that’s of interest maybe later. We have discuss ed a little bit more exciting text. But we really haven’t had the time to go through that part,” she says.Teri Dankovich and another researcher tested the drinkable book in Bangladesh, Ghana and South Africa. The tests proved to be successful.Water for Life, a non-governmental organization, has provided financial support for the project.28. What do we learn about the book from the text?A. It has pages with several functions.B. It is about environment protection.C. It sells well around the world.D. It can treat about 100 liters of water.29. What does the underlined phrase “that part” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. Classic texts.B. Exciting discussion.C. Invention presentation.D. Financial support.30. In which country did not the researchers test the drinkable book?A. GhanaB. Bangladesh.C. South Africa.D. America.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Researchers have found a way to save those being ill.B. Book pages could provide safe drinking water.C. Knowledge is as important as drinkable water.D. Millions of people are in great need of drinkable water.DFancy a trip down a wormhole? Calculations suggest that this might be possible, because these entrances through space-time could stick around forever.Wormholes are essentially a pair of connected black holes. Two types could theoretically exist. A non-traversable wormhole is like a room with two doors that can be used only from the outside—the doors are black holes through which things can enter, but never e scape. “These are not very interesting, as any astronaut who is brave enough to venture in won’t be able to make it back to tell the story,” says Diandian Wang at the University of California.Traversable(能横过的) wormholes are also possible, but until now we didn’t know whether they could exist for long enough for anything to pass through them. For such a wormhole to form, space-time needs to naturally change shape. In classical physics, this can’t happen. But the rules of quantum mechanics(量子力学) allow space-time to do so for brief periods.Wang worked on a scenario(设想) involving string theory, in which the fundamental ingredient ofreality is tiny strings. If one of these strings breaks, it can create a traversable wormhole with black hole-like entrances either end that allow both entry and exit.Although researchers had shown that this was a possibility before, it seemed that the energy involved would always break the wormhole.Now, Wang and his team have calculated that the curvature of space-time could counteract this acceleration, keeping the fake black holes still and allowing the throat of the wormhole to remain open. This scenario is extremely unlikely, and becomes even more unlikely, the longer the wormhole is and the larger the black holes are. Thanks to quantum mechanics, though, the probability of it happening isn’t zero. Wang’s team also calculated that, once a traversable wormhole e xists, it could remain stable for at least as long as the universe has been around.“The work shows how wormholes could be created from scratch,” says Aron Wall at the University of Cambridge. But he points out that they couldn’t be used to time travel or move faster than light.32. What are wormholes in the text?A. Real worm holes on the earth.B. Tunnels through space and time.C. Rooms with two doors.D.A pair of strings.33. What does “this” refer to in Paragraph 5?A. The wormhole.B. The black hole.C. The scenario.D. The calculation.34. Which theory supports Wang’s scenario?A. String theory.B. Quantum mechanics.C. Classical physics.D. Modern research.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Wormholes: A New Possibility for Human BeingB. It Is Possible for People to Go BackC. How Amazing It Is to Travel in SpaceD. A New Space-time Study Is Going on第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）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。

2020年高考英语阅读理解专项训练——文化类(1)A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual(体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.1. From paragraph 1, we can know that in America _________.A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their won effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersC. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors.2. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _________.A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food3. The expression “ wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_________”.A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurant4. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. A Respectable Self-made FamilyB. American Attitude toward Manual LaborC. Characteristics of American CultureD. The Development of Manual Labor【答案解析】本文介绍了崇尚自我奋斗，尊重体力劳动的美国文化。

2020届高三英语第三次联考试题及答案第一部分阅读（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AIn Sweden, McDonald’s is building “bee hotels” on the back of its roadside billboards (广告牌) to help save the country’s decreasing bee population. It launched the campaign together with outdoor advertising giant JCDecaux. Six large wooden bee hotels, with drilled holes on the front, first appeared on the back of a north-facing billboard in Jarfalla in September.“Without pollination (授粉) from bees, a thirdof the food we eat would be threatened.” McDonald’s said. But it turns out that at least 30 percent of the country’s wild bee population is endangered, according to the fast-food chain. A big problem is that they lack places to live. Based on data released by Chalmers University of Technology, we know Sweden owns 274 species of bees, of which 37 species are bumblebees, and more than a third are decreasing or face the risk of decreasing. Their natural habitats have been damaged by factors including the changes of agricultural activities and fast urbanization (城市化). Fortunately, most bees are able to survive in urban habitats, like the bee hotels.Every McDonald’s authorized restaurant in Sweden will be allowed to order their own bee hotel billboards and design the messages by themselves, as the fast-food chain says. It is their hope that the number of hotels could grow to a greater extent in the near future. Great efforts in addition to that have been made by the company. On World Bee Day, May 20, it introduced “the world’s smallest McDonald’s”. McHive, which could function as an actual beehive (蜂箱). Designed by set designer Nilsson himself, the creation was sold for $10,000 at a charity fundraiser held for Ronald McDonald House Charities.Beehives can be found on the rooftops of some McDonald’s restaurants in Sweden, too. This took place in certain areas but is now followed by an increasing number of participants. More McDonald’s restaurants are making an effort to improve the living conditions of wild bees by removing the grass round their restaurants to grow flowers and plants instead.1. According to the passage, the challenge that wild bees are facing is ________A. the fast process of industry.B. the world's Large amount of trash.C. the rapid development of urbanization.D. the sharp growth of population.2. How does McDonald's help wild bees in Sweden?A. By providing shelters for bees.B. By offering food to bees.C. By advertising rescue activities.D. By putting up more billboards.3. What is the best title for the text?A. Wild bees in dangerB. The loss of bees’ habitatsC McDonald’s bee hotelsD. The protection of wild beesBGerardo Ixcoy is a 27-year-old teacher in Guatemala. He teaches in the area where having electricity is something of a luxury and students have no access to mobile apps or computers, which became a problem when Guatemalan government had to choosedistance education for students at home because of COVID-19 inmid-March.Gerardo Ixcoy felt that he had to teach those children living far from the digital world. After all, education is a universal right. But what was the solution?Gerardo bought himself a secondhand tricycle with his savings. Once he had the tricycle, the next step was to change it into a classroom on wheels. He put a roof with a solar panel（太阳能电池板）on it, along with a screen to avoid the spread of COVID-19. He fixed a whiteboard on it so he could explain to the students the basics of primary education：math, the local language and the national language Spanish.The purpose of the solar panelis to provide constant power for a small loudspeaker so he can teach from a distance. It's a matter of respecting the healthy distance required to be safe from the virus. He, the teacher, stays outside, and the student participates from his or her house.He tries to visit his students at least twice a week, riding his classroom — cycle. The children he serves say that, although he visits them for only a few hours a week, they look forward to it. They appreciate his visit because they know he has limited time he can devote to them. They must take advantage of it to learn.4. What happened to Gerardo Ixcoy's students because of COVID-19?A. They chose to have classes in groups.B. They had to stop all the classes.C. They continued to have classes online.D. They started to learn about computers.5. Why does the teacher stay from a distance while teaching?A. Because healthy distance is reqired.B. Because he doesn't want to see his students.C. Because he wants to show his authority.D. Because the local custom reqiries him to.6. Where did Gerardo Ixcoy teach his students?A. In his own house.B. In his student's house.C. On the school playground.D. Outside his student's house.7. What can be the best title of the story?A. Love breaks down barriers.B. Hard work pays off.C. Time is money.D. Education is the key to success.CLast year, 138,000San Franciscoresidents used Airbnb, a popular app designed to connect home renters and travelers. It’s a striking number for a city with a population of about 850,000, and it was enough for Airbnb to win a major victory in local elections, asSan Franciscovoters struck down a debatable rule that would have placed time restrictions and other regulations on short-term rental services.The company fiercely opposed the measure, Proposition F, with a nearly $10 million advertising campaign. It also contacted its San Franciscan users with messages urging them to vote against Proposition F.Most people think of Airbnb as a kind of couch-surfing app. The service works for one-night stays on road trips and longer stays in cities, and it often has more competitive pricing than hotels. It’s a textbook example of the “sharing economy”, but not everyone is a fan.The app has had unintended consequences inSan Francisco. As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last year, a significant amount of renting on Airbnb is not in line with the company’s image: middle-class families putting up a spare room to help make ends meet. Some users have taken advantage of the service, using it to turn their multiple properties into vacation rentals or even full-time rentals. Backers of Proposition F argued that this trend takes spaces off the conventional, better-regulated housing market and contributes to rising costs.“The fact is, widespread abuse of short-term rentals is taking much needed housing off the market andharming our neighborhoods,” said ShareBetter SF, a group that supported Proposition F. Hotel unions have protested the company’s practices inSan Franciscoand other cities, saying that it creates an illegal hotel system.San Franciscois in the middle of a long-term, deeply rooted housing crisis that has seen the cost of living explode. Actually, explode is a generous term. The average monthly rent for an apartment is around $4, 000. Located on a narrow outcropping of land overlooking the bay,San Franciscosimply doesn’t have enough space to accommodate the massive inflow of young, high-salaried tech employees flocking toSilicon Valley.As the Los Angeles Times reported, someSan Franciscoresidents supported the measure simply because it seemed like a way to check a big corporation. Opponents of Proposition F countered that the housing crisis runs much deeper, and that passing the rule would have discouraged a popular service while doing little to solve the city’s existing problems.8. The intention of Proposition F is to ________.A. place time limits in local election.B. set limits on short-term rental.C. strike down a controversial rule.D. urge users to vote against Airbnb.9. What is the negative consequence of Airbnb onSan Francisco?A. It shrinks the living space of middle-class families.B. Users are taken advantage of by the service financially.C. It makes the house market more competitive.D. It indirectly leads to high house rental price.10. The housing crisis inSan Franciscoresults from ________.A. explosion of the living costB. its geographic characteristicsC. generosity of local enterprisesD. inflow of migrant population11. Theauthor’s attitude toward Proposition F is ________.A. objectiveB. supportiveC. negativeD. indifferentDThe beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning, but is running on the sand good for your body? It can be, but it’s important to be aware of the challenges that some beach runners experience before you get ready.Running on the beach can be a good thing. It’s certainly different from running on a track or a pavement. For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven (不平坦的) surface. As you push off, you’re going tolose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you’re not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or a pavement. But this unevenness has anupside: It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces. For example, your feet, ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because the surface is constantly moving and changing step to step.You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope (倾斜) down to the water. If you’re going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot — not wearing anything on feet. However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and don’t run long distances at first. That’s because running barefoot uses more different muscles than running with shoes does, and it’s important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet. If you want to run barefoot and as long as you run carefully enough into it, go for it!Running on the sand can be a smart choice for you, because running on softer ground surfaces can reduce muscle damage.12. Why is it difficult to run on the beach for starters?A. The soft surface makes people fall over easily.B. People need to run carefully on its smooth surface.C. Running on its uneven surface takes much effort.D. It’s hard to keep one’s balance on its hard surface.13. Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Advantage.B. Reason.C. Character.D. Challenge.14. What’s the author’s attitude to barefoot running?A. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Uncaring.15. The passage can probably be found in ______.A. A primary school textbookB. A tourist guideC. A sports magazineD. A scientific report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。

Readers are leaving can goods and other needed items to assists fellow neighbors. The libraries allow neighbors to help one another without getting physically close,”said Greig Metzge5, director of the nonprofit Little Free Library.Since 2009，tens of thousands of little free libraries have sprung up in the United States and more than 100 countries. The Shall spaces operate by donation and through volunteers. Volunteers check the free libraries weekly, and the Selection is always different from the week before Though the work Lakes much effort and time, it is rewarding.4.What do we know about Christine's library?A.

Through donations and voluntary services.C. By means of the Participation of local residents.D. Under the guidance of non-profit organizations.CWe're so attached to plastic, but we're careless consumers. Waste plastic is entering our ecosystems and food chains with untold consequences. Cleaning up our polluted world of plastic may seem a noble, but thankless task. However, some people are seeing economic opportunity in the mission.Plastic Bank, a social enterprise from Canada, is monetizing plastic recycling while empowering those most affected by the waste. It works to prevent waste plastic from entering oceans by encouraging people in developing countries to collect plastic from their communities in exchange for cash, food, clean water or school tuition for their children. After collection, plastic is weighed, sorted, chipped, melted into balls and sold on as“raw material”to be made into everything from bottles for cleaning products to clothing.“I saw in large quantities; I saw an opportunity,”CEO David Katz told the audience at the Sustainable Brands Oceans conference in Porto, Portugal on November 14.“We reveal the value in this material,”he added.Plastic Bank was founded in 2013 and launched on the ground operations in 2014 in Haiti, the poorest country in the Western, Hemisphere, where close to 60% of the population live under the poverty line. As result of poor waste disposal and recycling infrastructure (基础设施)，plastic waste enters rivers or is burned and poses the health threats to the local residents.The company says i has over 2,000 collectors working in the country, with its full- time collectors on average 63% above the poverty line thanks to the income they make from the project. Through its app based payment system, many collectors now have bank accounts for the first time, and are able to ultimately escape ultra poverty.“Nothing we're doing is against the laws of physics,”said Katz. “All the technology exists for us to solve and save the world. It's only creative thought.”8. What is Plastic Bank aimed to do?A. Test out creative ideas.B. Discover new material.C. Promote plastic recycling.D. Stop people using plastic.9. Which of the following shows the process of monetizing in Paragraph 2?A. Purchasing- collecting—recycling.B. Exchanging collecting—purchasing.C. Collecting- exchanging—reproducing.D. Persuading consuming—reproducing.10. What do the numbers in Paragraph 5 indicate?A. Haiti attaches great importance to recycling.B. Many locals benefit greatly from the project.C. Collecting is an efficient way to recycle waste.D. The project has solved unemployment in Haiti:11. What maybe the best title for the text?A. Companies stand to ban plastic consumptionB. Technology finds its way to kick off povertyC. David Katz speaks at the conference in PortoD. Plastic Bank is fighting against plastic wasteDThey're life jacket orange, they re robots and they're capable of sailing the high seas without human intervention.On Tuesday the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration (NOAA)launched a pair of Saildrones(海洋⽆⼈机) in Pacific Northwest waters for thefirst time. Their summer long sailingjourney will stretch from VancouverIsland to California. The Saildroneoperators will collect data to help setfuture fishing seasons. The government wants tor see whether seagoing. robots can extend fishery surveys now performed by expensive manned ships.Nora Cohen from NOAA said,“The 23 foot tong seagoing robots can follow a remotely programmed course for up to a year at a time. And they don't require any fuel. We use wind and solar power to drive the sensors.”He added,“It means that we're able to go to places where we don't really want to send people, and go into weather that we really don't want anyone ever to be in, and be able to send back measurements.”The primary mission is to investigate the species and number of fish in existence and the places where they are. Larry Hufnagle, scientist of NOAA Fisheries in Seattle, said a traditional big NOAA research ship-based survey costs around $25，000 per day. By comparison, one Saildrone runs $2,500 per day.“It could be a significant saving,”Hufnagle said. “But like anything else, there is a tradeoff in what you get and what you don't get. On the manned ship, we have limited time. It takes a lot of people. We spend a fair amount of money. But there is one thing the Saildrone can't do that humans can: cast a net to catch and positively identify the fish detected below. The Saildrones are going to give us additional data, not replacement data.”Nora Cohen said Sail Drone, a venture capital-backed company based in Alameda, California, expects to launch a total of 11 of its seagoing robots to survey different water bodies for NOAA this year. The Bering and Arctic seas, coastal California and Gulf of Mexico will be the locations of additional missions.12. What is the purpose of collecting fish data?A. To explore the ocean.B.
