She often told me that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.My dream was athletics. When I was sixteen, I started playing baseball. I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and 16 anything that moved on the field. I was also 17 : my high school coach was John, who believed in me and taught me how to believe in myself. He taught me the difference 18 having a dream and remaining true to that dream. One unusual 19 with Coach John changed my life forever.A friend helped me to find a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket for a new bike, new clothes and the 20 of saving for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to 21 up summer baseball and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldn't be playing.When I told John, he was 22 as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work," he said. "You don't have too many playing days in your life. You can't affordto waste them." I stood before him with my head 23 , trying to think of the 24 that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me."How much are you going to make at this job, son?" he asked. "3.5 dollars an hour,"I replied."Well," he asked, "Is $ 3.5 an hour the price of a dream?"That simple question made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I decided myself to play sports that summer and within the year I was taken on by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and was 25 a $ 20 000 agreement. Two years later, I bought my mother the house of my dream!16. A. kick B. hit C. pass D. play17. A. right B. shy C. lucky D.comfortable18. A. between B. to C. about D. in19.

They went to Ocean Park by bus. The teachers were very happy because the students cleaned the bus after the trip.

The students didn’t clean the bus after the trip.D. The students can’t sing at the talent show.(B)On Thursday October 3, Adam Harper decided to stop drinking coffee. Adam is a MBA student at Harvard University. He studies long hours, gets very little sleep, so he drinks a lot of coffee—anywhere from five to six cups a day. Recently, Adam felt that drinking thus much coffee was making it hard for him to sleep at all. He also began having problems with his concentration(注意力), and complained of stomachaches. Adam’s doctor made this suggestions: stop drinking coffee altogether.When Adam got up on October 3, he began his day without his morning coffee. By 11:00 a.m., Adam was in a terrible mood. He was tired and had a headache. At 11:30, he had a meeting with his student advisor. In the meeting, he found it almost impossible to continue. What was going on?Caffeine, a chemical found in coffee, was most likely the reason for how Adam felt. Caffeine is a stimulant that boosts(增加) energy levels and improves concentration- but only for a short time. Lowering caffeine consumption(减少摄取咖啡因) often makes a drop i n blood pressure and the result is a “coffee headache”. People who stop drinking coffee often say they feel tired and moody, and find it hard to focus.The good news is that these feeling usually pass after four and five days. During this time, doctors suggested taking some aspirin for the headache. So, if Adam can wait, in less than a week, he may be feeling much better.29. We learn from the reading Adam .A. does researches on caffeineB. can never be feeling betterC. still drinks 5 to 6 cups of coffee a dayD. had some problems because of coffee30. How may people feel when they stop drinking coffee?A. healthierB. uneasyC. energeticD. awaken31. The good news shows that .A. coffee can never cause headachesB. aspirin can stop us thinking coffeeC. more and more people will give up coffeeD. Adam will be better if he stops drinking coffee(C)When US teenager Jake Olson isn’t playing football or golf for his high school, he’s often offering inspiration(灵感)through his new book about his own life.These activities might be too much for the average 16-year-old to deal with, but Jake is blind. When people ask him how he can possibly play golf without being able to see the ball, he says he is thankful for his father’s guidance.It seems apparent that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle(肌肉) memory— repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature — have also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well.Jake was born with a rare kind of eye cancer that took away the vision from his lefteye when he was a baby and eventually his right eye, in 2009, when he was 12 years old.Rather than letting the disease hold him back, Jake used his loss of sight and his faithas sources of motivation(动力).“If I was going to sit on the couch all day, feeling sorryfor myself, I wasn’t going to do anything. I decided that I was going to go out and persevere(坚持不懈).” he said.It was with that mind-set that the student from Orange Lutheran High School in Californiawas able to write his first book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a HappierLife. “It’s about opening the readers’ eyes to their true talent in life and making surethat they use all the abilities that they h ave,” Jake said.Jake’s father, Brian Olson, said the family is impressed with what he has done withhis life, including showing people that they can get through hardships. “Your darkest hourcan soon become your brightest, and with every setback, there’s a setup,” Jake said. “Inevery one of us, there’s more potential than we can ever imagine, and it really is a choice.”32. We can learn from the article that Jake Olson .A. was born with blindnessB. has great muscle memoryC. was going to sit on the couch all dayD. is trying to find the cure for his disease33. According to the article, Jake’s family members .A. have pity on him deeplyB. once gave up hope on himC. encouraged him to write the bookD. admire his efforts and determination(决心)34. The purpose of the book Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Lifeis to .A. explain what “a happier life” meansB. ask people to get on well with disabled peopleB. help people get better life through his experiencesC. encourage people to discover and use the potential35.

To show readers how clever octopuses are.B. To compare octopuses with other tool users.C. To describe how octopuses hide in a coconut shell.D. To encourage readers to learn about octopuses' tools.When my teenaged son became seriously ill，terrible times for my family began.Our once-happy home became tense and depressed（沮丧的）.My husband and I were tired out under the great stress of caring for my son.It was as if we forgot how to communicate-we couldn't have a simple conversation without a fighting.Our marriage was on the point of breaking up.One evening，my son and I were talking about gifts.I recalled my first Valentine's present from my husband，a kazoo（卡祖笛）.I was awkard when I received it because I couldn't get it to make a sound although I am a professional saxophone（萨克斯）player.However hard I tried，it just never worked.The kazoo finally got packed away and forgotten.But my son was interested and insisted on seeing it.After some trouble，I found it."You couldn't get a sound What's so hard about it？" my husband asked，amazed.He took the kazoo and blew.Nothing happened.Surprised，he tried again.Still there was no sound.Frustrated，he tried again，only to produce a funny sound like an angry bumblebee （大黄蜂） trapped in the mouth of a bear.We burst into laughter.My son took a turn to play the kazoo.He did no better than us，causing more laughing.Seeing his face light up，we felt as if the darkness had lifted and a ray of sunshine was let in.It was the best ten minutes of the past couple of years.The mood stayed light for the rest of the evening.It didn't solve anything.But this experience with the kazoo brought some change in our hearts that always reminds us that there are still things to laugh at and enjoy，and that we can still connect as a family.38．What influenced the relationship of the couple？A. Fightings between the couple over their marriage.B. Different values the couple shared towards everything.C. Stress and disagreements coming from their son's illness.D. Shortage of money needed for their son's medical treatment.39．Why did the husband blow the kazoo personally？A. He had a love for playing the kazoo.B. He meant to make his son greatly pleased.C. He wanted to reduce the feeling of depression.D. He did not think it that hard to play the kazoo.40．What is the turning point of the story？A. The performance of my playing the saxophone.B. My failure to get the kazoo to make a beautiful sound.C. My memory about the Valentine's present from my husband.D. The failed but funny playing of the kazoo by my husband and son.41．What does the story mainly tell us？A. Bad luck tests the true love.B. Parents are the best teachers.C. Every cloud has a silver lining.D. Music can cure the hurt souls.Workplaces once had both formal（正式） and informal uniforms.In traditional offices，those at the top of the pyramid would always be found in a suit；dressing for the job you wanted meant following this style.The rise of the tech world changed this fixed idea.Picture Silicon Valley's most successful leaders，and the clothes that come to mind are jeans，hoodies（连帽衫） and black turtlenecks.In the tech world，success has a different kind of uniform one much more casual （随意）than the suits of the past.This trend（趋势）towards informality has spread to other fields.altogether.During the pandemic（疫情），people mostly saw co-workers from the shoulders up on video calls.From home，people could perform a major role in a meeting in a collared shirt，short sand slippers（拖鞋）.If cameras were off，they could even be in pajamas（睡衣），working under a blanket.Now，as workers come back into offices，few companies are asking a return to formal wear.So，what does this mean for dressing for success？With so many different dress standards across companies，is it still possible to "dress for the job you want"？It is no easy to dress for success.Getting the balance wrong by overdressing can send a bad message.About 79% of workplaces in the US now have a casual dress standard.Turning up in a suit to show their wish for success could actually have a bad influence on others' views on you.The effect of your dressing style depends on who you are.For example，wearing jeans，your boss may seem easy-going while you seemingly careless.Still，dressing can help position you for success-and the key to getting it right is careful attention.The proper dressing might look very different in different workplaces.So understanding the unspoken rules of the dress behavior could give you an advantage.42．How does the author introduce the topic？A. By making comparisons.B. By giving examples.C. By asking questions.D. By listing numbers.43．Which has the closet meaning to the underlined word "upended" in paragraph 3？A. Improve.B. Change.C. Require.D. Challenge.44．What do we know about dress standards？A. Different companies have different dress standards.B. The trend of dress standards would return to formal wear.C. People follow the same dress standard to achieve success.D. Dress standards are clearly written and understood by people.45．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？A. Dress whatever as you like.B. Dress like a successful boss.C. Ready for the new dressing style?D. Does "dressing for success" still matter?People in Cliff-top Village Moving to New HomesSo far，many people from poor areas have benefited from the government's poverty relief policies（脱贫政策）.As part of the nation's poverty relief program，eighty-two families in the cliff-top village of Atuleer in Sichuan have moved to new apartments."The government has bought new furniture for each new home.Our new apartments have kitchens and toilets with running water.We only need to take clothes and quilts there." Mou'se Subure，a young man from Atuleer said， "We used to live in adobe（土坯）houses and have never seen such nice apartments."The village is at the top of a 1，400-meter cliff.Villagers used an 800-meter rattan （藤）ladders with no railings（栏杆）to reach the nearest market several kilometers away once a week to sell peppers and walnuts，and to buy necessities.The ladders were their only way to the outside world.The villagers were very poor，with an income of about 3，000 yuan per year.Five years ago，the village caught the attention of the government.Soon the government spent one million yuan on a steel ladder with a handrail that has cut travel time to the nearest town from three hours to one.Now，a total of 84 families most of the villagers have settled in their new apartments 75 km away.The members of two families were so excited about their new homes that they moved on Monday，one day ahead of schedule.In 2016，a newspaper published some photos showing students climbing rattan ladders，so more and more tourists went to see the rattan ladders.And some even tried to climb them.Since the 84 families moved，Atuleer has become a new tourist attraction.A cable car is used to transport tourists to the village，nearby canyons （峡谷）is being developed.Some 30 better-off families remain in the village and work in the tourist industry，running rural inns，showing tourists around and carrying bags to make money.Shaking off poverty is not the finish line，but the starting point of a new life.46．What kind of house did the villagers live before moving？47．How did the villagers go to the nearest market before？48．Why did more and more tourists know the rattan ladders in the cliff？49．What do the villagers who remain in Cliff-top Village do？50．What do you think of the villagers' shaking off poverty？四、填空题51．Zibo，a city in Shandong Province，welcomed ______ （ traveller ，visitor） from all over the world with its warmth during the Labor Day.52．It was clear that she refused to discuss some ______ （ personal） matters.53．As a mother，the children ______ （要紧） more than anything else in the world. 54．Sometimes we can't ______ （避免） failure in our daily life，so we should learn to deal with it wisely.55．The 31st Summer World University Games in Chengdu will raise the awareness of sports and fitness ______ young people.56．选词填空。

2020届江苏如皋中学高三英语二模试卷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AIt looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year in movie History. Here is a list of some of the year’s biggest blockbusters so far.Kong: Skull IslandA reboot (重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modem version of the story will be worth watching. With US actress Brie Larson and UK actor Tom Hiddleston in the mix, this film is set to be this year’s biggest monster tale.Release Date:3/10/17Beauty and the BeastDirector Bill Condon is bringing back a part of our childhood in live action, complete with the songs we all remember and love. With British stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens leading thecast, the classic Walt Disney story already sounds like it’ll be a delight for both children and adults.Release Date:3/17/17The Fate of the FuriousThere was doubt that we’d even get a Fast 8, especially after the fitting ending US actor Paul Walker’s character was given at the end of Furious 7. Fans thought they’d never see Dom and the rest of the crew back in action, but thankfully, US star Vin Diesel himself confirmed that The Fate of the Furious is fueling up for another go.Release Date:4/14/17Spider-Man: HomecomingSpider Man is heading home to Marvel Studios for the first time. The movie will show us Peter Parker’s high school days, and will continue the threads we saw formed during his initial appearance in Captain America: Civil War. We know that Michael Keaton is playing The Vulture in this story, and that both Happy Hogan and Tony Stark, played by US actors Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., are along for the ride.Release Date:7/7/171.Which of the following movies can’t you see on May Day?A.Kong: Skull Island.B.Beauty and the Beast.C.The Fate of the Furious.D.Spider-Man: Homecoming.2.What can we know about Beauty and the Beast?A.It is fueling up for another go.B.It is produced by Marvel StudiosC.It’ll show us Peter Parker’s school days.D.It’ll be enjoyable for both children and adults.3.What does the underlined word “cast” probably mean?A.Characters.B.Actors.C.Directors.D.Teachers.BA PhD student inMichigandefended her paper while wearing a skirt madeof rejection letters she received while studying. 29-year-old Caitlin Kirby printed out 17 of her rejection letters — from scholarships, academic journals, and conferences — then folded each one into a fan. She connected them in rows, and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of reminded me that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said. "A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth and environmental science atMichiganStateUniversity, also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for students to get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling of rejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academic journal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things: Since her doctorate, she's won a scholarship to do further research on urban agriculture inGermany.Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As for what the future holds? "I'm prepared to receive a few more rejection letters along the way," she joked heartily, "Maybe I'll make a longer skirt."4. What can we learn about Caitlin Kirby's rejection letters?A. She received 17 rejections in total.B. 29 of her rejections were from journals.C. The rejections were connected into a fan.D. She made some rejection letters into a skirt.5. What is Julie Libarkin's attitude towards Caitlin's action?A. Favorable.B. Ambiguous.C. Skeptical.D. Opposed.6. Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?A. Creative and considerate.B. Caring and determined.C. Optimistic and humorous.D. Generous and intelligent.7. Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?A. Hard work pays off.B. Education is the entrance to success.C. Self-respect earns more respect.D. One needs to normalize failures.CHappiness is not a warm phone, according to anew study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their Phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions."The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use," Twenge said. "Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness."Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU. S.teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens' lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.8. Which method did Twenge's team use for the study?A. Calculating students' happiness.B. Asking students certain questions.C. Analyzing data from a survey.D. Doing experiments on screen time.9. How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3?A. By making a comparison.B. By giving an example.C. By making an argument.D. By introducing a concept.10.
