Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips—of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞) in my little box because I ’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cellsare harvested from a donor(捐献者)to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’vegot 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up thestem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:“ Well,I ’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please, please, you’ve got to get me back to t he United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me,re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originallyscheduled.For this courier job,you ’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.25.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“ courier”in Paragraph 1?A.providerB.delivery manC.collectorD.medical doctor26.Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A.He cannot stay away from his job too long.B.The donor can only wait for that long.C.The operation needs that much time.D.The ice won ’t last any longer.27.Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A.To London.B.To Newark.C.To Providence.D.To Washington.C(2018 课标全国Ⅱ ,D)We’ve all been there:in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with theuncomfortable silence.What’s the problem?It ’s possible that we all have compromised conversationalintelligence. It ’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it ’s awkward and challenging, or we think it ’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it ’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren ’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease( 润滑剂 )for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “ Almost every great love story and each big business dealbegins with small talk, ” he explains. “ The key to successful small talk is learning how toconnect with others, not just communicate with them. ”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction( 互动 )with its waiter;the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shopexperience. “It ’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband, ”says Dunn. “ But interactions with peripheral( 边缘的 )members of our social network matter forour well-being also. ”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater senseof belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk.“ Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.28.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.Addiction to smartphones.B.Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C.Absence of communication between strangers.D.Impatience with slow service.29.What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A.Showing good manners.B.Relating to other people.C.Focusing on a topic.D.Making business deals.30.What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A.It improves family relationships.B.It raises people’s confidence.C.It matters as much as a formal talk.D.It makes people feel good.31.What is the best title for the text?A.Conversation CountsB.Ways of Making Small TalkC.Benefits of Small TalkD.Uncomfortable SilenceD(2017 课标全国Ⅰ ,D)A build-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking waterin areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S.Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carrythe necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural subs titutes. The only components required, though, are a 5'× 5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic,six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup—to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet acrossand three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’sproductivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place sothat one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up—and out—the side of the hole.Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirtand weighting the sheet’s center dow n with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体 ) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over,and no more than three inches above, the cup.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic.Ground water evaporates(蒸发 ) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material, and falloff into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through thetube, and won ’t have to break down the still ev ery time you need a drink.32.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?A.It ’s delicate.B.It ’s expensive.C.It ’s complex.D.It ’s portable.33.What does the underlined phrase“the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The tube.B.The still.C.The hole.D.The cup.34.What is the last step of constructing a working solar still?A.Dig a hole of a certain size.B.Put the cup in place.C.Weight the sheet’s center down.D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.35.When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from.A.the plastic tubeB.outside the holeC.the open airD.beneath the sheet第二节 ( 共 5 小题 ; 每小题 2 分 , 满分 10 分)(2018 课标全国Ⅱ )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’d set up a plan for how he’d get him up outside the shop near his school at 3:30 pm and I believed this was a perfect plan.Unknown to me, very bad weather was on its way and I was unable to warn him to take shelter.With the combination of his dead phone battery and my dead car battery, I was running lateand unable to communicate that to him.

But a dog’s life is much shorter than humans, about 12 toevery dog owner has to go through the heartbreaking moment when their loving pet passes away.Why not make a clone of that dog then? This is the solution offered by a South Korean company, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation. The company has already successfully cloned atleast 400 dogs, mostly for US customers, ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005. Now, Sooam Biotech has introduced its business to UK dog owners as well, offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.To clone a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died. Meanwhile, another dog is selected to supply an egg. Researchers then replace the DNA inthe egg with that from the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb（子宫）of a female dog. Theegg grows into a puppy over the following two months.The whole process takes less than a day, but it comes at a shockingly high price—around ￡63,000. But if you can’t afford it now, you can also save the cell in a laboratory and access it ata later date.However, magical as cloning might sound, there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the original one. Just like identical twins of humans, they share the exactly sameDNA but there will still be small differences between them. “The spots on a Dalmatian（斑点狗）clone will be different, for example,”Insung Hwang, head of Sooam Biotech, told The Guardian.Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “clone-able”. A part from genes, personality is also determined by upbringing and environment, which are both random elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome, Professor Tom Kirkwood at Newcastle University, UK, told The Telegraph.Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after all.relationship with them Kirkwood, a dog owner himself, pointed out, “An important aspect of ouris coming to terms with the pain of letting go.”28. What service does Sooam Biotech Research Foundation offer?A. Making copies of pet dogs.B. Giving pet dogs identical twins.C. Helping dogs give birth to more puppies.D. Helping dog owners love their dogs more.29. Which order is correct in the dog cloning process?a. An egg is taken from another dog.b. A skin cell is taken from the pet dog.c. The egg grows into a puppy in two months.d. The egg is placed in the womb of a female dog.e. The DNA in the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell.A. a→d→b→e→cB. a→e→b→d→cC. b→a→d→e→cD. b→a→e→d→c30. What can we learn about dog cloning from the passage?A. It has not been put into practice until recently.B. It is very popular among US and UK pet owners.C. It might not give the owners an exactly same dog.D. It is very expensive and usually takes half a year to complete.31. What does Kirkwood think of dog cloning?A. He disagrees with it.B. He supports it.C. He is curious about it.D. He thinks it unbelievable.DAre you a procrastinator（拖拉者）? It’s a common problem. And it can be harmful, as previous research has shown that people who procrastinate have higher levels of stress and lowerwell-being, reported the Association for Psychological Science in the US. But a new study hasfound a way to deal with this problem: Be more connected to your future self.Psychologists think that each person believes that they are really two people: “Present Me”　needs and desires to those ofand “Future Me”. “People act as if they prefer their current selves’Daphna Oyserman.their future selves,” wrote psychologists Neil Lewis andexactly how Oyserman and Lewis decided to try to find a way to make “Present Me” imagine “Future Me” would feel the night before a big paper was due, though“Present Me” hadn’t started-off event as a number of days away, not months oryet. They made “Present Me” think about a faryears.seemed 16.3 Thinking about events in this way meant that something like a friend’s weddingdays sooner when considered in days rather than months and 11.4 months sooner when consideredin months rather than years.The researchers also tried to find out whether people would take action sooner if they weretold a certain event was happening in X days rather than years. For example, participants imagined they had a newborn child, and that the child would need to go to college in either 18years or 6,570 days. The researchers found those in the “days” condition planned to start savingon.four times sooner than those in the “years” conditiSo if you think of your life in days instead of years, you may get things done quicker.32. What did Oyserman and Lewis intend to do through their study?A. To work on a solution to test if someone is a procrastinator.B. To find out whether human beings usually have two different characters.C. To discover procrastinators are more likely to have a lower sense of well-being.D. To prove it’s helpful to connect our current selves more with future selves.in Paragraph 4 refers to “_________”．33. The underlined part “this way”A. setting up tough deadlinesB. following schedules strictlyC. counting in smaller units of timeD. imagining how your future self will feel34. What helps prevent people from procrastinating?A. Comparing their future selves with present selves.B. Considering their current selves’ needs and desires.C. Thinking about far-off events in days rather than years.D. Marking important events on a calendar as a reminder.35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. A way to get things done in time.B. The harmful effects of procrastination.C. The reason to overlook future needs and desires.D.

Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind．How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing．By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic （逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand．Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding．In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power．”Try this experiment．Explain how you’ll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea how right now．Just start with anything, and create an explanation．For example, start with “I’ll learn chess,” or “I’ll read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help．You’ll be surprised how often this becomes a wor kable plan, and if you actually do this, you’ll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now．Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember．Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes．You can try keeping it all in your head, butif you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project, you’ll probably have more success．Want to understand a topic?

A．However many fans she has, she should remain modest．B．She shouldn’t disappoint the African-American community．C．However hard she tries, she can’t expect to please everybody．D．She will give priority to African-American women’s concern．第1卷参考答案一.参考题库1.参考答案：B2.参考答案：B3.参考答案：56-59 BBBD4.参考答案：63-66 CDAC5.参考答案：67-71 BCBDA6.参考答案：C7.参考答案：C8.参考答案：36-55 BCDAC DACBC ACBCA BDADC9.参考答案：B10.参考答案：60-62 CBC。

Ofthe outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860 —1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.

In 1931, Addams became the firstAmerican woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907—1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement migh t not exist today.

Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips—of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞) in my little box because I ’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cellsare harvested from a donor(捐献者)to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’vegot 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up thestem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:“ Well,I ’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please, please, you’ve got to get me back to t he United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me,re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originallyscheduled.For this courier job,you ’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.25.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“ courier”in Paragraph 1?A.providerB.delivery manC.collectorD.medical doctor26.Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A.He cannot stay away from his job too long.B.The donor can only wait for that long.C.The operation needs that much time.D.The ice won ’t last any longer.27.Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A.To London.B.To Newark.C.To Providence.D.To Washington.C(2018 课标全国Ⅱ ,D)We’ve all been there:in a lift,in line at the bank or on an airplane,surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with theuncomfortable silence.What’s the problem?It ’s possible that we all have compromised conversationalintelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging,or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary.But the next time you find yourself among strangers,consider that small talk is worth the trouble.Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy,but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂 )for social communication,says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast.“ Almost every great love story and each big business dealbegins with small talk,” he explains.“ The key to successful small talk is learning how toconnect with others, not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动 )with its waiter;the other, to speak only when necessary.The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shopexperience.“It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,”says Dunn. “ But interactions with peripheral(边缘的 )members of our social network matter forour well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater senseof belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk.“ Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.28.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.Addiction to smartphones.B.Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C.Absence of communication between strangers.D.Impatience with slow service.29.What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A.Showing good manners.B.Relating to other people.C.Focusing on a topic.D.Making business deals.30.What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A.It improves family relationships.B.It raises people’s confidence.C.It matters as much as a formal talk.D.It makes people feel good.31.What is the best title for the text?A.Conversation CountsB.Ways of Making Small TalkC.Benefits of Small TalkD.Uncomfortable SilenceD(2017 课标全国Ⅰ ,D)A build-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking waterin areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S.Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carrythe necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural subs titutes. The only components required, though, are a 5'× 5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic,six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup—to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet acrossand three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’sproductivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place sothat one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up—and out—the side of the hole.Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirtand weighting the sheet’s center dow n with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体 ) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over,and no more than three inches above, the cup.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic.Ground water evaporates(蒸发 ) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material, and falloff into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through thetube, and won ’t have to break down the still ev ery time you need a drink.32.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?A.It ’s delicate.B.It ’s expensive.C.It ’s complex.D.It ’s portable.33.What does the underlined phrase“the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The tube.B.The still.C.The hole.D.The cup.34.What is the last step of constructing a working solar still?A.Dig a hole of a certain size.B.Put the cup in place.C.Weight the sheet’s center down.D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.35.When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from.A.the plastic tubeB.outside the holeC.the open airD.beneath the sheet第二节 ( 共 5 小题 ; 每题 2 分 , 满分 10 分)(2018 课标全国Ⅱ )依照短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

AA month ago, I broke a nail. My other nails looked amazing, but now one was a mess. Clearly, there was no point in keeping the others, so I look out the nail scissors to cut them all off.“What are you doing, Mom?”my daughter cried, “ your nails look great! Don’t cut them!”“But they’re ruined,”I said, waving the broken one in her face.“They’re not ruined,”she said .” you still have nine nails left!”I hesitated, with the scissors still in my hand. My nails certainly weren’t perfect anymore, and the opposite of “perfect”is “ruined”, right? I mean, this is how I think about most things: it’s all or nothing. Take my finances for example.I can spend weeks being sensible and buying only essential items, such as food for my family. And then one day, I’ll see something expensive that I really like and buy it. Then, I think to myself,“well, I already spent 100dollars on that dress last week,so I may as well spend 50dollars on this lipstick（口红）”and give up saving entirely, I’ve thought about why I act this way, but I don’t know what causes this behavior. I seem to go from “good”to“complete disaster”in a matter of moments. My brain only sees“perfect”or “disaster”,which is extremely unhelpful.We humans are never just good or bad-we are far more complex. We have wins and we have losses and, occasionally, they are hard to tell apart. Some people understand this instinctively（本能地），while others struggle. For most of us, learning not to do the th ing we’re used to requires effort and discomfort. However, we should remind ourselves that we sometimes make mistakes, and that this doesn’t mean we’ve failed. We need to accept that things will sometimes go wrong.Indeed, failure is part of life. We all fall occasionally, and we normally get straight back up. And so, with my daughter’s words ringing in my ears, I decided to keep my nine nice nails. I feel annoyed every time I look at my hands , but I ‘m determined to live with my choice. It’s a perfect ex ercise in imperfection. Maybe soon, I’ll switch off my computer the next time I feel like I might buy something elseI don’t need, although I may need my daughter there to guide me again.21. why did the author want to cut off her nails?A.She got all of them ruined.B.She didn’t like long nails at all.C.She didn’t want to have imperfect nailsD.She wanted to prevent them being broken.22. what is the author’s problem with her life?A. She is rather crazy about shoppingB. She looks at life in an extreme wayC. She is too careful with her financesD. She is unwilling to change her mind.23. What does the author think of failure?A. It is just a normal part of lifeB. It can help people to be strongerC. It can completely destroy our lifeD. It is something we need to overcomeBMy son Sam is 16 and autistic(自闭症). There’s a lot of going on in that beautiful and brilliant mind of his, but even on a good day he can be easily at a loss. Throw in some diagnosed anxiety, an inability to read social cues(信号) and an unexpected change to his daily routine, and you have the way to deal with a very public meltdown(崩溃)。

2019-2020学年郑州市郑东新区外国语学校高三英语一模试卷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AWhen the weather is bad or when the flu breaks out, we can let the kids do some fun things at home, which can be beneficial to kids.Reading out loudIf your children are young enough, don't forget to read books to them out loud! Few children dislikehaving a good book read to them, and it's great for the development of their brains. However, if your children are a bit older and have moved onto more advanced books, there is always the choice of listening to an audiobook. This can also be done while they're doing something else.Playing board gamesMaybe your children's table is full of board games, which have been forgotten for a long time. It's a good time to bring them out when playing outside is no longer a choice. Surely, playing board games is a great way to connect with children. In addition, many board games are designed to get children thinking!Having a dance partyConsidering that all you need is a speaker or maybe just a phone, you can have a dance party wherever you are! This is a great way to get kids’ bodies moving when they are inside. Play some of your children's favorite music and let them dance to it. Not only is it good exercise, but it will help your children feel time is flying!Doing jigsaw (拼图) puzzlesFor most people that have children, it's common to have at least one jigsaw puzzle at home. Jigsaw puzzles are great because everyone can do them on their own time. Besides, your whole family will have a sense of achievement when everyone is smiling over the finished product.1. What do reading out loud and playing board games have in common?A. They both develop children's team spirit.B. They both improve children's listening ability.C. They both do good to children's thinking ability.D. They both focus on interaction between children.2. Which of the following combines exercise and music?A. Reading out loud.B. Playing board games.C. Doing jigsaw puzzles.D. Having a dance party.3. What is the purpose of the text?A. To list four interesting children's parties.B. To recommend four children's favorite books.C. To introduce some activities for children inside.D. To show some funny things for children outside.BHidden beneath the surface in the roots of Earths astonishing and diverse plant life, there exists a biological superhighway linking together the members of the plant kingdom in what researchers call the "wood wide web".The network is comprised of thin threads of fungus (真菌) that grow outwards underground up to a few meters from its partnering plant, meaning that all of the plant life within a region likely connected to one another. The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved, plants provide carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to the funguses and in exchange, the funguses aid in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of theSouthChinaAgriculturalUniversityfound that this also allowed for plants to warn one another of potential harm. The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on one another for upcoming danger.Like our Internet, this fungal connectivity is also full of crime. Some plants, such as Golden Marigolds have been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for water and light. Other plants, such as the Phantom Orchid, do not have the chlorophyll (叶绿素) and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrients through the network, allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on; however, this has not been conclusively made clear in experimentation. The more we learn about this phenomenon, the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change. Perhaps one day, we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.4. What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To explain the aim of the web.B. To introduce the main topic.C. To give definition of diverse life.D. To show the importance of plants.5. The criminal behavior of plants can be seen as a way to________.A. compete for survivalB. gather more waterC. take in sunlightD. break natural rules6. What does the last paragraph suggest?A. Animals can also feed on the fungus.B. Nutrient exchanges are too slight to detect.C. No experiment can prove the phenomenon.D. More needs to be done to work out the network.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. The Partnership between PlantsB. The Unknown Roots of the EarthC. The Superhighway Linking the PlantsD. The Mysterious Map Changing the WorldCWe have most friends at the age of 26 afterhaving spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, new research has claimed.The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school, with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are andhow the little things can make a difference."Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% todrift away fromchildhood friends.With growing pressure being put on friendship these days, it's important to make time for our friendship.8. How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook?A. 22.B. 18.C. 12.D. 4.9. In Paragraph 5, the author is trying to tell the readers ________.A. how important making friends isB. school time is an important period to develop friendshipC. how much has been done to keep friendshipD. that friendship is not easy to keep10. The underlined phrase "drift away from" in Paragraph 6 means ________.A. make sense ofB. make up withC. feel sorry forD. lose touch with11. This passage is mostprobably taken from ________.A. a newspaperB. an advertisementC. a textbookD. Facebook or TwitterDFaming is a tradition among many in South Dakota, one that is not always easy to keep in the family. But one family has survived four generations and hopes to continue long into the future. The year was 1933 when Ed VanderWal's father first stepped onto the farm. Now 80 years later, Ed carries the passion(热情) his father gave him for farming every daywhile working the fields on the family farm in Volga.“Well, I was in the first grade when my dad moved here to this farm and I grew up on the farm. And that's what I was interested in doing more,” Ed said. But that love of working the land didn't stop with Ed. He's passed it down to his six sons. Some of them run farms of their own now, but two of them, Scott and David, still work side by side with their dad every day.Some people might worry that working sun up to sun down with family seven days a week would lead to a few family spats(争吵). But for the VanderWals, the constant time together works just fine.“When families work together on a farm, it's a challenge at times getting along. Everyone has to pull their weight and do their share. And that, of course, transfers from one generation to the next,” Scott said.And while they all get along like any family, with good days and bad, it's tradition that keeps each generation teaching the next.“But we taught them to work with animals at a young age, like most farmers do. So it's nice to be able to pass that tradition onto the next generation,” Scott said.The youngest generation of the VanderWals, Ed's three grandsons and a granddaughter, all started learning farming techniques at a young age.12. Why did Ed VanderWal devote himself to the farm?A. Because he grew up on the farm.B. Because he was affected by his father.C Because he could do nothing but work on the farm.D. Because he wanted to set a good example for his sons.13. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Managing a farm is a real challenge.B. Ed has divided his farms into six parts.C. Ed taught his sons how to work on farms.D. Scott and David own their own farms now.14. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The VariderWals have strict family rules.B. Ed's tradition has great effect on the local.C. Ed's grandchildren will drop out of school.D. Ed's farms have no lack of successors (继承者).15. What's the best title of the passage?A. A Faming Family.B. A Successful Farmer.C. The Agricultural 'Tradition.D. The Agricultural Generation.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。

高三一模英语试题及详尽答案解析第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AWhen I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect play ground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides. but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear"turn around and head back home" ,but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn't want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night's sleep.I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life all roads,no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on the earth.They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help your fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again21.Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?A. He could watch TV all day.B. He could have fun in nature.C.

Be Brave to AdventureBA day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of typical teenage stuff: school, baseball practice and homework. And then he starts cooking. "Some nights I'm up until 1: 00 a.m. making pies,or even later if we're cooking beef, "said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida,US.For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster's parents' home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them.Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them until the pair decided to do something nice for charity(慈善). “We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen gadgets(小器具)," Lanster said.“ But we wanted to make this something positive for people other than us.Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity that aims to teach kids in poor communities to cook and make healthy eating choices. The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster's parents cover their food costs. After their last12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave ﹩1,600 to the charity.Now, they're taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. They have started to organize private dinner parties with a similar model:the host pays for the ingredients,and guests make a donation to a chatity of their choice.Without formal training, Lanster said he had been interested in cooking since he helped his mom in the kitchen when he was young. He learned how to cook byreading cookbooks and watching TV programs. Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing there applications. Neither of them is sure what they will do in the future, but they've promised their parents that they will leave professional cooking alone until they finish school.25.

Which of the following words can best describe Lanster and Moran?A. Ambitious.B. Generous.C. Creative.D. Optimistic.cThe hit movie Notting Hill (诺丁山) begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says,"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry".His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts' character were from British. Then he would probably apologize repeatedly as well- even if the crash were not her fault. But this doesn't happen in the movie, as Roberts is from the US.A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street一regardless of whether theyare responsible or not. In fact, Britons use"sorry" in many situations, For example, if they mishear someone, they say "Sorry?"The person they are talking to will also apologize by replying, "No, I sorry!" This can go on or up to five minutes as they compete over who is the most sorry.Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell,a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in British class system. We say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain had to apologize for not being the working class but also for not really being the upper class." Another theory is that they apologize to avoid conflicts. For example, If they bump into someone, he might get angry. To avoid this, they i nstantly say “Sorry!"True manners are about being considerate, and today's constant use of apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word “sorry" has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing.28Why does the author mention a scene in the movie Notting Hill at the beginning?A.To give an example of British modesty.B.To introduce different ways of saying sorry.C.To show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the UK.D.To draw our attention to when and how British people say sorry.29.Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrell agree with?A.People should not apologize if they are not responsible.B.Americans care less about manners than British people do.C.That British people apologize so much is linked to the class system.D.British people care too much about which social class they are from.30.What can be inferred from the passage?A.It's unnecessary for British people to be so polite.B.The overuse of apologizing shows Britons are truly sincere.C.People should not stick to the traditional use of the word “sorry".ing "sorry" more doesn't necessarily mean people are more polite.31.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A.To explore the best way of saying sorry.B.To explain why Britons overuse the word " sorry".C.To show how saying sorry has changed over time.D.To suggest many British people lack traditional mannersDImagine you're standing in line to buy as nackata Store.You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay, But instead of scanning a QR Code (二维的)with your smart phone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier canscan your fingerprint, or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric (生物特征识别的) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasing]y popular.In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smart phones with a fingerprint scaner. Since then, using one's fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since 2016,Samsung has featured eye-caning technology in it stop smart phone while Apple's new iPhone X can even scan a user's face. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as weimagine. “Biometrics is ideally good in practice, not so much," said John Michener, abiometrics expert.When introducing the new iPhone's face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president, said, “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million." But it's already been done. In a video posted on a community website Reddit, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. And they aren't even twins."We may expect too much from biometrics," Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News. "No security systems are perfect."Earlier last year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person's smart phone for the police, according to a tech website Splinter." It's good to see biometrics being used more," Jain told CBS News," because it adds another factor for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.32.Which is the latest identification technology in a smart phone according to the passage?A.Face scanning.B.Eye scanning.C.QR Code scanning.D.Fingerprint scanning.33.What is a major problem of the iPhone X's face ID system?A.It takes too long to unlock the phone.B.It often fails to recognize its owner's face.C.Face data can be used for other purposesD.Different faces can be used to unlock the same phone.34.What is Anil Jain's opinion about biometric security?A.It is as secure as traditional measures.B. It is perfect without much improvement.C.It has caused much trouble for the police.D .It should be used with other security measures.35.What does the author intend to tell us in this passage?A.The popularity of biometrics.B.Security problems of biometrics,C. Various problems with biometrics.D.Great changes caused by biometrics.七选五Helen Keller once wrote, "The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves.”____36___ The UN has set December5 as International V olunteers Day to give recognition to these peopleNineteen-year-old Andrew Makhoul was a commumcations major at the University ofPennsylvania.
