期末模拟测试题(二)第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AGrowing up, Arielle Rivera, a North County High School student, watched her father work his way through the ranks of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, DC. Although finally he was successful, Arielle said she saw her father had to work harder than others around him to advance, because he didn’t have a college degree. Seeing this resulted in Arielle’s becoming a great student. She said she wanted to be successful more easily, unlike her father’s struggle.Arielle has joined in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics magnet program at North County. This selective program requires students to go through an application process and makes selections based on their middle school performances. Since her arrival at the high school, Arielle has impressed her teachers and classmates with her good performance of study, as well as her character.Toula Patti, Arielle’s teacher, has known her for three years. She describes the teen as “always having a smile on her face”. “She does everything to perfection,” Patti said. “She’s just amazing.” Patti also noted how willing Arielle is to help her school. She said, “She’s always helpful for the students and the tethers. She’ll come around at the beginning of the year and ask if we need help in setting up the classrooms.”Helping others is at the heart of Arielle’s interest in the engineering and medical fields. She found herself loving serving her community when she began volunteering at a food bank four years ago. She said, “Feeling that I’m possibly making lives of the food bank’s people a little easier is part of why I love community services.”Inspired by her volunteering experiences, Arielle, who is president of her school’s National Honor Society, created service opportunities for the group, including volunteering at food banks and organizing clothing drives. Arielle also works weekly at the Johns Hopkins University implied Physics Laboratory and Anne Arundel Medical Center.1. What do we know about the program at North County?A. It is available to everyone.B. It is managed by Arielle.C. It mainly focuses on community service.D. It requires applicants’ middle school performances.2. Which of the following best describes Arielle’s personality?A. Honest and talented.B. Helpful and friendly.C. Humorous and confident.D. Brave and hard-working.3. What made Arielle create service opportunities for her group?A. Her love for healthy food.B. Her experience of volunteering.C. Her interest in college courses.D. Her teacher’s encouragement.BAs their name shows, mountain gorillas (大猩猩) live in forests high in the mountains, at heights of 8,000 to 13,000 feet above sea level. They have thicker fur, and more of it, compared to other great apes. The fur helps them to survive in a habitat where temperatures often drop below freezing. But as humans have moved more and more into the gorillas’ living areas, the gorillas have been pushed farther up into the mountains for longer periods, forcing them to go through dangerous conditions.The endangered mountain gorilla survives in only two regions: Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the Virunga Massif. During 2015 and 2016, survey teams searched the Virunga Massif’s mountainous forests carefully to know how many great apes were there. After a long study of all the data, the Greater Virunga Transboundary Collaboration, which co-worked on these surveys, announced the result — 604 gorillas — up from just 480 in 2010.Mountain gorillas were once expected to die out. However, the total number in the wild tops 1,000. “This is great news,” says Bas Huijbregts, director for African species conservation (保护) at WWF. “It’s because of decades of conservation work done by related people and governments.”But mountain gorillas are still one of the most endangered animals in the world. Their biggest ongoing challenges of survival are human development, disease, illegal snares (陷阱) set to kill wild antelope, which can also be lethal to gorillas, and, increasingly, the impacts of climate change on their natural habitat.Mountain gorillas are not the only species that is in need of protection. To help wildlife, it is important to not only learn more about mountain gorillas and put efforts in conservation work, but also raise people’s awareness of protecting all the wildlife. Endangered species such as mountain gorillas greatly need our care, attention and awareness. Let’s all do what we can to increase their number.4. What did the study in Paragraph 2 show about mountain gorillas?A. Their habitats had increased.B. They had moved to lower places.C. They showed an increase in numbers.D. Their living conditions were worrying.5. What does the underlined word “lethal” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Deadly.B. Important.C. Attractive.D. Unknown.6. What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?A. Call on people to protect wildlife.B. Show the achievements in wildlife protection.C. Encourage people to learn more about gorillas.D. Stress mountain gorillas are very close to dying out.CIf you are fond of learning languages, you must start learning Chinese. English is the most widelyspoken language in the world and it is a more powerful language in all fields. But it is expected that Chinese, which is one of the six official languages of the United Nations (UN), will be the most important language in the coming years. What are the reasons behind the rapid spread of this language and why should you learn it?My desire to learn languages was the reason why I studied many Latin languages and in the process, I deepened my knowledge of the languages and literature. However, I did not feel self-sufficient (自给自足的) from this knowledge. I gained a lot of information about the Western world. But my thinking was always about Asian civilizations. I always felt I needed to learn Chinese to be a global citizen because “without learning Chinese, we see with one eye”.My contact with many international organizations and government institutions (机构) made me believe that Chinese is one of the most important languages of our time. After visiting the world’s most celebrated capitals such as Paris and London, I discovered that Chinese language can be seen everywhere in these places. In the subway in Paris, you will hear instructions in French, English and Chinese. In London, for example, the Chinese language was introduced for instruction in schools.China is an important political (政治的) and economic country because it is making great economic progress that has never been seen before. The world is watching China with great surprise, and this peaceful Chinese rise makes us decide to focus on learning the Chinese language and knowing more about Chinese culture.To be a global citizen these days, I would advise you to learn Chinese. It will add more beauty to your life and allow you to better understand Chinese civilization.7. What can we learn about languages in the future according to the first paragraph?A. Some of them will disappear.B. More official languages will be added to the UN.C. English will still have an advantage over others.D. Chinese language will probably be second to none.8. What do the examples in Paragraph 3 show?A. Paris is a wonderful capital city worth a visit.B. Chinese learning is very popular in schools in London.C. People in some western countries like speaking Chinese.D. Chinese language is playing an important role in the world.9. What mainly causes Westerners to start learning Chinese according to the text?A. The rise of Chinese economy.B. Their love for language learning.C. Their curiosity about Asian culture.D. The long history of Chinese civilization.10. What could be the best title for the text?A. How to be a global citizenB. Chinese — the language you must learnC. What you should know about Chinese cultureD. Chinese economy — the most powerful engine第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AHoliday in Sydney is a good choice for people trying to get away from coldwinter days. You can spend Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year inSydney. All hotels in Sydney are also prepared for business activities. TheChristmas spirit is more wonderful when evening falls. Nightlife in Sydney isfull of energy, but during holidays it owns a special taste.White sandy beaches are located only within a short walk from hotels. You will find beach barbecues (烧烤), surfing, and diving under the sea very enjoyable. There are also public street festivals such as Chinese New Year between January and February. You need to book hotels in advance because they are often filled fast.Running from Christmas to the New Year, numerous musical events are held in different places, from hotel restaurants to the Royal Botanical Gardens. Christmas carol (欢歌) performances are free for visitors to enjoy when the Sydney Youth Orchestra plays at the Royal Botanical Gardens.Chinese New Year is one of Sydney’s annual (每年的) attractions. 500，000 people will gather in the city, so if you are traveling to Sydney, this is a reason to extend your vacations. Hotels near Bellmore Park offer food events during Chinese New Year, and Darling Harbor runs traditional Dragon Boat Races. Others offer tours to the Sze Yup Temple, a Taoist (道教) Church located in Evergreen.Seasonal food is also offered at the restaurants, cafes, and room service.

Of the 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.

In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson (1907-1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many import ant cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks (1913-2005)On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger.

They are peace-lovers.CLiving in a city in central Alaska, a state of the United States in extreme northwest North America, I have become used to extreme weather conditions. To us Alaskans, a 70 mph wind is something that just makes our hair untidy. Temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit mean that we can take off our coats. We are used to winter days with only 4 hours of sunlight, or summer baseball games that can start at 10：30 p．m.without artificial lighting. Getting used to such conditions is not too difficult, but Alaska’s faraway location creates another problem.Alaska is quite rich in natural resources (资源), such as wood, oil, and fish. Unfortunately, we must bring processed goods (加工品) from the other states. Most goods are shipped all the way to the port of Anchorage; the cost is nearly three times as much as that of sending goods from New York to Seattle by rail. The state of Alaska is the number one harvester of seafood in the United States. Our coastal waters contain plenty of king crabs, salmon, and other living things. But processed seafood can be bought more inexpensively in the state of Washington because Alaska does not have enough fish processing plants of its own and so must ship a great deal of seafood to Seattle for processing. In the end, the cost of long distance transportation drives up the price of the product.One thing that Alaskans need to consider is building more local processing factories. After all, there is plenty of fish to keep them running. Finally, it can do a lot of good to Alaskans by providing jobs, lower prices, and healthy competition.8. According to Paragraph 1, Alaskans________．A. think nothing of a 70 mph windB. have no sunlight during the winterC. feel that 20 degrees Fahrenheit would be very coldD. prefer to play baseball at 10：30 p．m.9. In the author’s opinion, in Alaska________．A. there are few goods to choose fromB. its transportation needs improvingC. its natural resources are overusedD. it is short of processing factories10. What does the author think of processed goods in Alaska?A. They are very cheap.B. They are expensive.C. They are of poor quality.D. They are beautifully packed.11. What’s the main purpose of the text?A. To introduce.B. To educate.C. To suggest.D. To warn.DRoss Griffiths woke up one morning aged 16 months unable to speak. This five­year­old boy was only two weeks ago diagnosed(诊断) with a condition so unusual that it hasn’t been named and is instead known as 15q11.2.（四倍体综合症）Ross Griffiths has struggled to get back his communication skills, but has always been too shy to use his sign language away from home and school. But after seeing a video of Middlesbrough’s Cleveland Centre Father Christmas signing with three-year-old Mali Williams, Ross told his mum that he wanted to sign with Father Christmas, too.Ross and his family went to see Father Christmas yesterday, along with Mali, who was invited back for a second visit. Father Christmas set up the special second meeting with Mali where he gave her a lovelydoll.As crowds of children and parents awaited the arrival of the big man at the shopping centre，Father Christmas took some time out before his duties to meet again with Mali and with Ross before going on to see all the other children.Ross’s mum Becky Lane hop ed that a visit to the special Father Christmas would help Ross get over his shyness. The Father Christmas everyone believes in even learned Makaton specially for his meeting with Ross, as this is the communication method the young boy uses.“He was too frightened to use his sign language outside the house, but when he saw the video of the girl signing with Father Christmas, it showed him he didn’t have to be shy. He did really well. And he got a PacMan game as a gift. Now he’s not a shy boy a ny more，”Becky said.12.

20192020度深圳市高一英语必修二期末模拟测试试题一有解析2019-2020学年度深圳市高一英语必修二期末模拟测试试题(一) 有解析期末模拟测试题(一)第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A“Why do I feel cold when I have a fever?”“Why does the sun rise in the east?”I knew the day would come when my little girl Sophie would learn to talk and inevitably (不可避免地) start asking those questions. The questions themselves weren't worrying me. I was actually looking forward to seeing where her curiosity would lie.What was bothering me was whether or not I would know the answers. In the age of the smart-phone, this may seem like a silly worry. The answers to almost everything would be just one Google away.Still, I struggled with how I was going to prepare to become an all-knowing mother. Then one day,it struck me: I didn't need to have all the answers. What a great example I could set if I let my daughter know that I, too, was still learning. And I realized how much more I could learn if I took another look at things I thought I already knew the answer to with the curiosity of a child. Mylittle girl's mind is a beginner's mind —curious, open to new ideas, eager to learn, and not basedon knowledge that already exists. I decided that I would deal with her questions with a beginner's mind, too.Once I decided to become more curious, I started noticing that curiosity was becoming more important in the workplace, too. It seems that leaders don't need to have all the answers, but theydo need to be curious.Curious about curiosity, I searched for answers, and found Albert Einstein's famous words, UIhave no special talent. I am only passionately (热情地) curious.”We might quibble over the viewthat Einstein had no special talent, but there is one thing for certain —he wouldn't have solvedthe puzzles of the universe without his passionate curiosity. Then I came across another Einstein quote, “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.”1. How did the author feel while thinking of the possible questions from her daughter?A. She thought it was a natural thing.B. She was nervous to answer the questions.C. She tried to refuse to deal with those questions.D. She was worried about her daughter's development.2. The advantage of having a beginner's mind is that ____________.A. people can learn much fasterB. people are willing to receive new thingsC. people won't be afraid to make mistakesD. people won't be expected to answer difficult questions3. What does the underlined phrase “quibble over”in thelast paragraph probably mean?A. Forget.B. Accept.C. Work out.D. Argue about.B14/ 1．2019-2020学年度深圳市高一英语必修二期末模拟测试试题(一) 有解析Every year, over 7.72 trillion kilograms of plastic is washed into the oceans. There are five huge areas in the world's oceans that are a “soup”of floating (漂浮的) rubbish. One of these areas, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), is three times as large as France.Over a year ago, a group called Ocean Cleanup began using a huge floating screen to try to cleanup plastic pollution in the ocean. After several failures, the group is now collecting plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. But the plastic is spreading out over a large area, so it's impossibleto collect it piece by piece. So the Ocean Cleanup had a plan. They got a long floating U-shaped tube with a screen hanging below it. As the tube and screen are pushed by the water and the winds, the U is meant to collect plastic rubbish, making it easy for a ship to collect and remove the plastic. The system uses the power of the wind and ocean, so it doesn't need fuel.The group began testing the first version (版本), called “System 001”, last September. But it soon became clear that the screen was just moving with the plastic, not collecting it.Sometimes plastic would wash over the top of the tube. Even worse, System 001 got broken by rough seas and had to be towed to Hawaii for repairs.But Mr Slat, who got the idea for the Ocean Cleanup system, sees the project as an experiment, which means a failure is a chance to learn. The team collected and studied lots of information about what worked well and what didn't. Then they changed the design. In June, an improved version, called “System 001/B”w as towed back to the GPGP.The new version has a parachute (降落伞) attached to it. This makes the system move slightly slower than the plastic, allowing the plastic to be collected inside, as planned. But this success is still just the beginning of the work of the Ocean Cleanup. They want a better and larger system.4. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 1?A. Humans should try to prevent plastic waste.B. The GPGP is feeing different kinds of pollution.C. Plastic pollution in the oceans has become a serious problem.D. A series of problems has been caused by plastic pollution.5. What was the group's plan?A. To make use of the water and the winds.B. To create a ship to collect waste in the oceans.C. To collect the floating plastic waste piece by piece.D. To gather up the floating plastic waste in the oceans.6. What's implied about the Ocean Cleanup in the last paragraph?A. They'll finish collecting all the plastic in the oceans.B. They'll continue improving the new version.C. They feel disappointed at the new version.D. They need a lot of help from the public.CSocial media use has been linked to mental health, especially in teenage girls. But a new study argues that the situation may be more serious than experts think.The research involved interviews once a year from 2013 to 2015 with almost 10,000 children between the ages of 13 and 16 in England. They would report how many times a week they used social media on average. Based on the results, researchers would learn how dependent they were on the social media. Researchers noted that they did not get how much time those children spent14/ 2．2019-2020学年度深圳市高一英语必修二期末模拟测试试题(一) 有解析on the websites, which is a limitation of the study.“Our results suggest that socia l media itself doesn't cause harm, but that frequent use may upset activities that have a positive influence on mental health such as sleeping and exercising. And then it will increase exposure (接触) of young people to harmful content, particularly the negative experience of cyber-bullying (网络欺凌),”study co-author Russell Viner said in a statement. Researchers found that social media may harm girls' mental health. However, for boys, the influence on their mental health seems to be due to other reasons, so further research is needed.In 2014 and 2015, researchers asked about the teens' psychological sufferings and their personal happiness. The researchers found that, in both sexes, very frequent social media use was connected with greater psychological sufferings. Theeffect was especially clear among girls. The more often they checked social media, the greater their psychological sufferings would be.Bob Patton, a psychologist from the University of Surrey, said the research showed strategies focusing only on reducing social media use as a tool to improve mental health might not help. “Building strategies to increase resilience (适应力) to cyber-bullying and improve the sleep and exercise behaviors may help reduce both physical and psychological harm,”Patton, who w as not involved in the research, said in a statement. “If teenagers can change their unhealthy lifestyle and cyber-bullying can be reduced, the positive effects of social media use can be supported,”he added.7. What do we know about the research in Paragraph 2?A. Over 10,000 teenagers took part in the research.B. It took researchers two years to do the research.C. Researchers marked how often teenagers used social media.D. Researchers recorded the total time the children spent online.8. What did the research find in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A. Social media use does more harm to girls.B. Girls use social media more frequently than boys.C. The frequent users of social media usually have mental problems.D. Boys' psychological sufferings mainly come from cyber-bullying.9. Which of the following statements will Bob Patton agree with?A. Cyber-bullying is hard to deal with.B. Parents should protect teenagers from hot social media.C. Good online habits help teenagers benefit from social media.D. People should pay more attention to face-to-face communication.10. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The harmful effects of social media use.B. The reasons for reducing social media use.C. The ways to reduce harm of social media use.D. The importance of knowing about cyber- bullying.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Twilight Tour3.Where will you read this text most likely?A.In a guidebook.B.In a magazine.C.In a newspaper.D.On the Internet.BIt was the first day of spring here but it didn't feel like it. The COVID-19 epidemic (流行病) was sweeping the globe and everywhere there were feelings of fear and loneliness. “Social Distancing” had become the new norm. Here the schools had been closed, the restaurant dining rooms had been shut, and people had been told to work from home whenever they could. Even the sheltered workshop where my oldest son worked had been closed until further notice. People had made a run on the stores and large areas of the shelves were bare. On the news the numbers of the sick and dead continued to rise. It felt like there was a weight on the souls of everyone in the world.My family were staying at home as much as possible and as I looked out of my window I wondered how long this crisis would last. It was then, however, that I saw something that lifted that weight off of my soul, made me smile, and made my heart feel happy again. On the street below my house there was an old friend of mine from high school who was a teacher there. With him was my younger son's former aide from the high school as well. They were delivering the school lunches door to door to the hungry children who were stuck at home. Watching them made me think of something everyone's childhood television neighbor, Mr. Roger's once said: "In the bad times, always look for the helpers."I have no doubt that this crisis will pass as all the crisis before. But it is our choice on whether it brings out the best in us or the worst in us. Let it bring out the best in you. Use it to strengthen your faith. Use it to free yourself from fear. Use it to grow kinder, more giving, and more loving. Become a helper to all those in need and you will be a happy person today and all the days to come.4.

Children’s toys that rely on robotics for both entertainment and education are becoming more popular and more easily accessible. Robot vacuums, too, are so popular that the Roomba has even earned itself a name in popular television.A selection of other household wares can be purchased and owned for a reasonable cost, but they all look and perform like vacuums. Our domestic helpers are currently designed to vacuuming, mopping, sweeping and mowing.Of course the best known of these is the Roomba, but there is actually some competition amongst the autonomous vacuum manufacturers. Roomba, made by iRobot, now comes in several designs and has been through many versions of improvements. The basic model is just about $400, but there’s a more attractive version, complete with a wireless command center to control the robot from anywhere in the home. Samsung also has a vacuum, called the Smart Tango, which makes increased improvements on the Roomba by including brushes for cleaning corners. It’s possible that some of the less well-known vacuums might be even more exciting, like the Neato Robotics XV that takes on a square shape to better clean corners. Incremental (增值的) improvements are what drive the home robot industry.Now that domestic robots are becoming more popular, the near future should be exciting. If we are going to welcome robots into our lives and our homes, we should expect them to work for it, and work hard. It’s the dawn of the robot revolution, whether we like it or not, and it would be great to see that technology put to use in more innovative(创新的) ways.8. What does Roomba in the passage mean?A. A man’s name who has bought a domestic robot.B. A name of a big company who makes robots.C. A type of vacuum whose name is Roomba.D. A place where people can buy proper robots.9. The Smart Tango is different from other types in that ________.A. it has a wireless command centerB. it has brushes for cleaning cornersC. it is more famous and excitingD. it is driven without electricity10. What can we infer according to the last paragraph?A. Domestic robots will free us from housework.B. Domestic robots will become cheaper and cheaper.C. Domestic robots have brought environmental revolution.D. Domestic robots takes the lead in science and technology.11. What does the author intend to tell in the passage?A. Domestic robots are closely related to our daily life.B. It is interesting to see domestic robots at home.C. Domestic robots are too expensive for most people.D. It is convenient to buy a domestic robot.DMost people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to thechance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.12. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _______.A. the art began from 1,500B.C.B. the works of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are right-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed13. What is the left hand for most people used to do?A. It’s used to find or hold things.B. It’s used to work with things.C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.14. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.15. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Scientists’ New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which HandD. Different Brains, Different Hands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。

The psychologists had, of course, arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work. The tacks are too short, and the paraffin (石蜡) doesn't stick to the wall. So how can you complete the task? The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle-holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall. and stand the candle inside it. To think of that, you have to look beyond the box's usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and re-imagine it serving an entirely new purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness.The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society. The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase“frozen thoughts”to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt's eyes, the self- content reliance on such accepted “truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview, even when there was plenty of evidence for them.Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said,“It can be found in highly intelligent people.”4. What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The experiment.B. Functional fixedness.C. The path.D. The thinking.5. Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?A. Tacking the candle to the wall.B. Fixing the candle with melted wax.C. Using the tack box as a candle-holder.D. Lighting the candle tostand it.6. Which of the following statements will Hannah Arendt agree with?A. People should question.B. We should be used to the way things are.C. People shouldn't accept the idea that doesn't fit their worldview.D. The smarter people are，the more open to the new things they are.7. What's the passage mainly about?A. An interesting experimentB. A psychological phenomenon.C. A theory to be proved.D. The opinion of Hannah Arendt.CThe regular world presented to us by our five senses — you could call it reality 1.0 — is not always the most user-friendly. We get lost in unfamiliar cities; we meet people whose language we don’t understand. So why not try the improved version: augmented reality（AR）or reality 2.0 ? AR technology adds computer-produced images on the real world via a mobile phone camera or special video glasses.Early forms of AR are already here — smart phones can deliver information about nearby ATMs and restaurants and other points of interest. But that’s just the beginning. A few years from now the quantity of information available will have increased hugely. You will not only see that there’s a Chinese restaurant on the next block, but you will be able to see the menu and read reviews of it.This is where the next revolution in computing will take place: in the interface（界面）between the real world and the information brought to us via the Internet. Imagine bubbles floating before your eyes, filled with cool information about anything and everything that you see in front of you.Let’s jump ahead to ten years from now. A person trying to fix a car won’t be reading a book with pictures; he will be wearing a device that projects animated 3D computer graphics onto the equipment under repair, labelling parts and giving step-by-step guidance.The window onto the AR world can be a smart phone or special video glasses. But in ten years’ time these will have been replaced by contact lenses(隐形眼镜) with tiny LEDs, which present something at a readable distance in front of eyes. So a deaf person wearing these lenses will be able to see what people are saying.The question is, while we are all absorbed in our new augmented reality world, how willwe be communicating with each other?8. What is the text mainly about?A. The relationship between reality 1.0 and reality 2.0.B. Different forms of the AR technology.C. The next information technology revolution.D. The popularity of the AR technology.9. Which of the following will AR technology support according to the text?A. To pay for things online conveniently.B. To play online games merrily.C. To offer information efficiently.D. To communicate with others socially.10. What are Contact lenses with tiny LEDs used for?A. Show texts and images.B. Protect people’s eyes.C. Help deaf people communicate.D. Replace smart phone.11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the AR technology?A. Indifferent.B. Critical.C. Concerned.D. Favourable.DMany cars in advertisements and on exhibition in the United States are red, blue or green, but almost 75 percent of new cars sold in the United States are black, white, silver orgray.Les Jackson is a reporter who writes about cars. He says the color1 s of cars Americans choose do not show dirt. He says that means the owners wash their cars less in order to save money. And he notes some areas that are suffering from water shortages do not permit people to wash their cars often.Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta, which makes supplies for international car makers. He says white cars are often sold more expensive than cars of other color1 s. And he notes that white cars “absorb(吸收)less energy” than cars of other color1 s. This means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas. Benton also says research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk of crashes during the day for white cars compared with darker ones.Car buyers in other countries also like white. Jane Harrington works for PPG Industries, a company that makes paint for cars. She said in China, buyers say white makes a small car look bigger.About 11 percent of cars sold in North America are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has become less popular. Benton notes that in the mid-1990s green was the most popular color1 in North America. Today, green is hard to find.Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color1 of their cars —— technology may let owners change their cars’ paint color1 anytime.12. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Most Americans don’t like red cars.B. People in America are not allowed to wash their cars.C. Many people prefer to choose white cars in America.D. Americans may consider the cost of cleaning when choosing cars.13. Why do many people choose white cars?A. They are much cheaper than cars of other color1 s..B. They are much safer while crashing.C. They are bigger than cars of other color1 s.D. They are more comfortable inside in warmer areas.14. What do we know from the text?A. Les Jackson is a member of Axalta.B. Most Americans rarely wash their cars.C. PPG Industries mainly produces cars in China.D. Green cars were once popular in North America.15. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Choices of car color1 sB. How to buy a good car.C. Differences of car color1 s.D. Popular car color1 s in history.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。

These must-see bridges are now tourist attractions in their own right.Clifton Suspension Bridge, BristolDescribed byits legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel as “my first love, my darling", it was originally designed for horse-drawn traffic. Now, more than four million vehicles a year cross the 1,352ft-long toll（通行费）bridge over the Avon Gorge. The £ 1 toll for every journey pays for its maintenance. The history of the bridge, dating back to 1864, is kept alive through a programme of tours, events and exhibitions.Infinity Bridge, Stockton-On-TeesA pedestrian（行人）and cycle footbridge across the River Tees, its working title was the North Shore Footbridge, before it was given its grander name when opened in 2009. It is particularly incredible at night. The arches（拱形）of the bridge are also lit white and, on calm nights, their reflection in the water appears as an infinity（无穷大）symbol, thus inspiring the name which was chosen by the public.Tower Bridge, LondonAn engineering wonder built from thousands of tons of Portland stone and steel, it took construction workers eight years to complete.

Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move on their own, “The art form amazes me, becauseit combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China inBeijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency inBeijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned toChengduto open his automata workshop.To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺).

Experience is the mother of wisdom.CWhen I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived atHeathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch theskaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caughta few of his glances. “I was a localhere 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”8. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?A. He felt disappointed.B. He gave up his hobby.C. He liked the weather there.D. He had disagreements with his family.9. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?A. Be careful!B. Well done!C. No way!D. Don't worry!10.

What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A. Children should learn a second language.B. Sport is necessary for children's health.C. Children need a sense of belongingD. Seeing the world is a must for children.DWhy do you check social media? Is it to keep up with everything that your friends and family are doing? Is it to find new trendy spots to eat?Regardless of the reason, you may find yourself with different degrees of envy or discomfort after a quick look at your phone. Then you might be suffering from a phenomenon known as “Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). ”While the phenomenon of FOMO can be traced back for centuries, it had never been the issue as it is today, causing widespread discussion and research. This rise in checking social media is naturally connected to the increasing leading position that social media holds over our lives. Every time someone opens their WeChat Moments, Facebook, Twitter... etc. , they are bombarded with the highlight reels of other peoples' lives. A sunny beach, delicious-looking food, a super cute kitten-they are all uplifting photos, yet they're very likely to bring about more unhappiness than joy. You see, the first thought to come out of your mind may be “Wow, that's so cool/delicious/cute”, but then it takes a hard U-turn. You're thinking: “I wish I were there” or “my life is so boring compared to his/hers.” The more you see, the more likely you are to have these negative feelings.What's worse is the habit many people have of turning to social media in search of happiness when they are feeling down, not realizing that they are just going to end up in a negative cycle of endless disappointment.Montesquieu once said: “If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.”FOMO will go hand in hand with dissatisfaction and envy. Appreciate what you already have, because someone else out there in the world would gladly give everything to be you.12. What is the purpose of the questions in paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic of the passage.B. To explain the function of FOMO.C. To describe the features of FOMO.D. To give the reasons for checking social media.13. How might people feel seeing other's perfect life through social media?A. Joyful.B. Admiring.C. Comfortable.D. Envious.14. What can we conclude from Montesquieu's words in paragraph 3?A. We could turn to social media for happiness.B. We couldn't realise our dream without hard work.C. We couldn't harvest happiness through comparison.D. We could live better than others by showing ourselves online.15. What is the author's attitude towards FOMO?A. Indifferent.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Hopeful.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。

2019-2020学年深圳科学高中高三英语下学期期末试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（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 September, something terrible happened on the west coast ofTasmania,Australia. As many as 380 pilot whales became stranded(搁浅) in shallow water there and later died. This might have beenAustralia’s largest stranding event on record, the BBC reported.But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon. For centuries, it has happened all over the world and has puzzled scientists. Scientists say the cause is often unknown. But they have offered many different explanations.Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying attention to where they are going.Others think the stranding has something to do with Earth’s geomagnetic field (地磁场). They say that a geomagnetic compass in whales’ brains controls their position. Unusual changes in Earth’s magnetic field can affect the whales’ compasses and send them in the wrong direction.Another explanation suggests that stranding is caused by the close relationships that whales have. Pilot whales travel in large groups. One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water. “And if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave,” said Sheryl Gibney, a leading biologist fromNew Zealand. “Some will come in and try to help, they get trapped on the beach, then more will come.”The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy(同情). Once they get stranded, they will likely die. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of theUS, less than 10 percent of all stranded whales survive.1.

During teen years, especially as the hormonal changes of teenagers are going on and the demands of school and extra-curricular activities are increasing, ADHD may get worse.Because of problems with getting unfocused and poor concentration, many teens with ADHD have problems in school. Grades may fall, especially if the teen is not getting ADHD treatment. It’s not uncommon for teens with ADHD to forget their homework, lose textbooks, and become bored with their daily class work. Teens may become inattentive or extremely attentive, not waiting for their turn before blurting out answers. They may cut in on their teacher and classmates. Teens with ADHD may also befidgetyand find it hard to sit still in class.Often, teens with ADHD are so busy focusing on other things that they forget about the task at hand. This can be seen especially with homework and athletic skills and in relationships with their schoolmates. This lack of attention to what they’re doing often leads to bad grades on tests and being passed over for sports teams, after-school activities, and learning teams.

So last summer, I travelled toBolivia.The natives, called the Tsimane, were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world. I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease.Getting to the Tsimane wasn't easy. They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks. We finally found one of the villages at sunset. That night, we set up our tents in the middle of the village. Thatched huts surrounded us, with no electricity or modem conveniences.At first, I thought they mainly got their calorics from meat. However, I found food such as rice and com made up nearly 70% of their diet. The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts.During my stay there, I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids. I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours. Men spent lots of time tracking animals. Fanning and gathering, mostly done by children and women, were all-day affairs.I also got a clear idea of how they rested. As soon as the sun went down, people returned to their huts and went to sleep. And with the call of the cock in the morning, another day began.The lifespan of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in theUS. Various factors, like animal attacks and infections, bring down the lifespan. But up until the day they die, they are often very healthy. While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day, the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesn't necessarily buy health.8.

Physical work, social life and lifespan.D. Group size, family history and consumption10. What was the Tsimane 's sleep-wake cycle mainly based on?A. Natural sound.B. Routine activity.C. Animal behaviour.D. Natural light.11. What might the author advise us to do after his travels inBolivia?A. Take in less sugar and salt.B. Stand less and walk more.C. Eat white meat instead of red meat.D. Live in the middle of the community.DI was in the second year of my Ph. D. program when a colleague asked what I would do if I had an extra hour every day. Without much consideration, I said I would use it to help others. The question kept coming to my mind. Like many graduate students, I was overwhelmed (难以承受的) with research, teaching, coursework, and some attempt at a personal life. Still, I asked myself, "Do I really need a 25th hour to help other people-or do I need to make better use of the 24 hours I have?"I needed something to help me return to my old self. After that conversation with my colleague, I googled (谷歌搜索) “volunteer opportunities near me”. A local organization that drives people to stores or appointments was looking for volunteers. Having grown up in a rural village where everyone knew oneanother and my grandparents were always close by, I thought serving senior citizens in my new hometown might be just what I needed.A short time later, I started to volunteer for an organization that provides transportation for senior citizens and people with disabilities. To my surprise, adding this activity to my busy life was just what I needed to calm the confusion I was feeling as a first-generation international graduate student.I started to volunteer about 3 hours every weekend, the time I otherwise would have wasted oversleeping or scrolling (滚屏) through social media. Sharing stories with my riders was much more rewarding. What they told me about their lives helped me realize that in every corner of the world, humans are connected with the languageof emotions. And seeing how eager my riders were to spend time out and about inspired me to think about how to spend my time, which used to slip away. My previously overwhelming schedule began to feel manageable.I'm proud of who I have become, and I continue to reflect on how I'm using the most valuable thing in life: my time.12. Why did the author ask himself the question in Paragraph 1?A. He wanted to return to normal life.B. He was busy but wanted to help others.C. He couldn't bear too much school work.D. He couldn't answer his colleague's question.13. How did the author find the volunteer job?A. A colleague recommended it.B. A local organization offered it.C. He got it from his grandparents.D. He got it by surfing on the Internet.14. What made the author feel his volunteer job was worth doing?A. Communicating with his riders.B. Improving his language learning.C. Meeting his grandparents often.D. Realizing his previous dream.15. How did volunteering influence the author?A. It helped himbecome confident and efficient.B. He found a good way to live a free and quiet life.C. He realized he had wasted too much time pursuing his Ph.D.D. It inspired him to spare more time to accompany his grandparents.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。
