Which of the following best describes the steaks in Meat?A. Fresh.B. Green.C. Expensive.D. Personalized.BAmanda Seyfried didn’t grow up with dogs. With her busy work schedule, she didn’t think she could take care of a dog. In fact, she wasn’t looking for a furry friend at all.But then she met Finn. Today, the 34-year-old actress, who’s known for films Mamma Mia, is a dog owner and a spokeswoman at the welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society.“I can’t imagine my life without him,” Seyfried says of 6.5-year-old Australian shepherd Finn, who is allowed on her U.S. set. If for some reason he can’t join Seyfried on location - like on a recent trip when she traveled from France to China, Seyfried requests from her dog sitter twice — daily videos of him.Now with a new video for Best Friends Animal Society, she calls herself Finn’s “stage mother.”Seyfried and Finn shot an ’80s-themed video for the 9000StepsChallenge, which asks animal owners to walk 9,000 steps with their pets on the ninth day of the month to raise awareness to the fact that more than 9,000 dogs and cats are euthanized (安乐死) in shelters each day because there’s not enough room.As for the video shoot, in which Seyfried and Finn walked the 9,000 steps - it was more exhausting than a long walk. Seyfried was Finn’s trainer on the shoot. She believes that instead of being Fin n’s cp-star, she’ll go back to being BFFs.24. Why did Seyfried originally refuse a pet dog?A. She wasn’t not yet a spokeswoman.B. She wasn’t used to being with a dog.C. She was too busy to care for a dog.D. She had not enough room for a dog.25.

Which section of a newspaper is this text most likely from?A. NewsB. LifeC. EducationD. SportsCPinocchio ma y be just a children’s fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated this so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses don’t grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.Dr. Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography（体温计）to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tip of their nose dropped up to 1.2℃, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. Scientist also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye.“One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead,” Dr. Gómez Milán explainedthe findings. “At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose.”For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while their temperature is scanned by technology. One of these tasks required making a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to make up the lie themselves during the call. Interestingly, this lie detector picked up the “Pinocchio effect”temperature difference in 80 percent of the test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.“With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy”, said Dr. Gómez Milán, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.28. Why does the writer talk about Pinocchio in the first paragraph?A. To tell a fairy tale.B. To give an example.C. To talk about a scientist.D. To introduce the topic.29. What is “Pinocchio effect”?A. Our noses will grow when we tell a lie.B. Our noses will shrink when we tell a lie.C. The temperature of the forehead falls if we lie.D. The temperature of the student rises for anxiety.30. How did Dr. Gómez Milán feel about the lie detector?A. Doubtful.B. Surprised.C. Confident.D. Puzzled.31. What lesson can we learn from the text?A. A lie will travel very hard.B. Many ways to bring a liar to light.C. A lie never lives to be old.D. Once a liar always a liar.DEast Africa is experiencing the worst desert locust outbreak in decades. Climate events have accelerated breeding of the pest across the region, and with a sudden rise in the locust population expected in coming weeks, urgent actions and funds are needed to prevent a human crisis.Twenty million people in six of the eight East African countries are most affected by an ongoing desert locust outbreak at risk of serious food insecurity. Considered among the most destructive of moving pests, an adult locust can consume 2g of plants per day, affecting crops and grasslands. A group typically holds 20 to 150 million locusts per square kilometer and can move hundreds of kilometers per day, invading areas covering millions of square kilometers. An active group, therefore, can destroy crops and grasslands within a very short period of time.That global warming could increase the risk of desert locust crisis was proposed over ten years ago, and in February, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated that the current outbreak is linked to the effects of climate change: “warmer seas mean more perfect breeding ground for locusts”. The outbreak has its origins in 2018, when a series of windstorms in the Arabian Peninsula (阿拉伯半岛) enabled the warm and wet conditions the desert locust requires to breed and band undetected in remote regions. Though our focus here is migration west, dreadful outbreaks of the desert locust have been experienced to the east.The situation is going out of control. A rescue operation and financial support admit no delay. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) can take out only US$138 million for rapid response and immediate action —controlling the spread of the desert locust and safeguarding livelihoods. They say the maths is clear: about half the funding (资助) is needed for supervision, ground and sky control, and uniting efforts; the other half is needed for livelihoods and food security of farmers. As for the huge gap, they have called on the international community to act now through funding. However, by the end of February, just US$69 million had been promised.This most alarming crisis has developed and is worsening in East Africa. The funds needed to control the situation become very difficult to achieve and the gap is a big concern.32. Why does the crisis happen in East Africa?A. There is a big population there.B. There are large deserts and grasslands.C. Africa lies west of Arabian Peninsula.D. Good climate for breeding plays a role.33. Why does the writer list those figures in Para 2?A. To warn of the terrible damage by locusts.B. To help us understand how locusts live.C. To show how many locusts there are now.D. To draw a picture of the present Africa.34. What can we infer from the text?A. The crisis is not noticed until recently.B. More fund is needed to prevent the crisis.C. The crisis has been the focus of the world.D. Locusts are all from the Arabian Peninsula.35. Which is the best title for the text?A. Killing locusts before too lateB. Global warming, a world problemC. Funding Gap for Locust CrisisD.

It was wonderful, but it hit me that my career in hospital wasn't making a difference in anyone's life. I needed something that would stretch my limits and push me to grow. My career enabled me to work from home. I could work from home, and become a foster（领养）mother, providing safety for a child who needed it desperately.On Monday morning, I picked up the phone and dialed the number I had googled for the nearest Department of Children's Services. The man on the other end was receptive to my questions and explained the next step of training, involving eight weeks of classes designed to prepare and educate foster parents. We continued through all the classes, the home visits, background checks, and seemingly endless steps.Five long months after we were approved, the phone rang. In the middle of the night, I woke my husband and rushed to East Tennessee Children's Hospital. Our placement was waiting for us in the emergency room, sick and lack of nutrition. It didn’t take long for us to realize the f ull depth of her suffering. Six months later, her half-brother came to us by our request. We now had five children under our care.On August 12, 2016, our family of seven walked into a small courtroom. The children's lawyer and social worker were there. With just a few words, our adoption was finalized. These two amazing children weren't going home, because they were already home. We are their forever family, and they are our forever children. We may not be able to change the entire world, but we have changed the world entirely for our new children.4. How did the author feel about her hospital work?A. lacking in motivation.B. Unusually demanding.C. Filled with challenges.D. Packed with chances.5. What led the author to decide to adopt children?A. She felt sympathetic for abused children she knew.B. She wanted to make a difference in other people.C. She felt confident about her ability to raise children.D. She experienced training to raise children properly.6. What does the underlined word "placement" in Para. 3 refer to?A. The child to be adopted.B. The need to get trained.C. The approval of adoption.D. The official at the hospital.7. Why did the author appear at the courtroom?A. To put the adopted kids elsewhere.B. To receive another adopted child.C. To make the adoption officially legal.D. To begin the kids' adoption in her home.CThe kakapo, a bird that lives in New Zealand, is not designed for survival. Weighing up to 4 kilograms, it is the world's fattest parrot. It mates（交配）only when the rimu tree is in fruit, which happens every few years. It developed gradually in the absence of land-based natural enemies, so instead of flying above the trees it walks like a duck across the dry forest floor. When it moves unsteadily across something that might kill it, it will stand still.Such unusual characteristics turned it into fast food for human settlers, and for the cats and rats they brought with them. It seemed to have disappeared by the 1970s, until scientists came across two undiscovered populations in the country's south. These survivors were eventually moved to small enemy-free islands, where researchers have spent decades trying to get them to breed （繁殖）.The scientists' patience is finally rewarded. The rimu was in fruit this year, and more than 80 chicks hatched, making this the best breeding season on record. Many have survived into adolescence, increasing the number of adult kakapos by a third, to 200 birds.Another danger to the kakapo is a lack of genetic diversity. This is one reason why fewer than half of kakapo eggs hatch. By arranging the genome （基因组）of every living bird, scientists can identify closely-related individuals and put them on different islands. Every bird is fitted with something to track its slightest movement. If a female mates with an "unsuitable” male, the process can be stopped.All these efforts cost almost New Zealand $1.3 million this breeding season. Yet the kakapo's future still looks unsafe. Earlier this year a severe disease tore through the population. And tiny as the number of kakapos is, space isrunning out on the two islands where most of them live. New enemy-free settlement must soon be found.8. Which of the following is a danger for the survival of the kakapo?A. It is the smallest bird in the world.B. It lacks exercise and usually stands still.C. It adapts slowly in genetic development.D. It can't respond actively when facing danger.9. In what way may the scientists' patience be rewarded?A. They hatched 80 kakapos' eggs this year.B. They tried to make the rimu tree in fruit this year.C. Two survivors were moved to enemy-free islands.D. 50 chicks hatched have survived into adults this year.10. Why did the scientists put kakapo in different islands?A. To stop closely-related kakaposmating.B. To increasethe population of kakapo.C. To stop females mating withmales.D. To hatch more kakapos' eggs.11. According to the author, the efforts to protect the kakapo in New Zealand are _______________ .A. successfulB. unsafeC. doubtfulD. inadequateD“New an d improved. ” These words are put in so many marketing campaigns that we tend to accept them as linked. But many new drugs aren't an improvement over the best existing drug for a given condition, and the fast drug-approval processes in recent years have added to the uncertainty about their advantages.A recent report in the British Medical Journal, "New Drugs : Where Did We Go Wrong and What Can We Do Better?” analysed the issue. The authors looked at 216 drugs approved between 2011 and 2017; 152 were newly developed, and 64 were existing medicine approved for new uses. Only 25% offered a major advantage over theestablished treatment, and fully 58% had no confirmed added benefit to reduce symptoms or improve health-related quality of life."This doesn't mea n there's no added benefit,” lead author Wieseler said. "It just means we have no positive proof. Either we have no studies or have studies not good enough. ” Wieseler and her co-authors work for a German institute which evaluates new treatments and advises on whether the country's health care system should pay a premium ( 补贴)for them. Such organizations, known as health technology assessment ( HTA ) agencies, work a little differently in the US, says Sean Tunis, a researcher in Baltimore : "If payers think a new drug isn't better than an existing drug, these agencies will require that hospitals try the cheaper drug first. ”Germany’s HTA demands trials to prove that a new treatment beats the existing standard. This isn't always practical. For one thing, such studies can be expensive and time-consuming, with no guarantee of success. Secondly, it can discourage companies from attempting to develop new alternatives. This is already happening. Drug developers are increasingly focused on areas where there are no good treatments to compete with, such as rare diseases.This lack of meaningful data to guide patients is a major point of Wieseler's paper. With accelerated approval, there are more products approved, with a greater amount of uncertainty about risks and benefits. But there are other solutions besides drug trials. One idea is to require postmarket studies to track the effectiveness of newly approved drugs——a step too often neglected.12. What message does the recent report convey?A. Improved drugs have advantages over old ones.B. The approval processes for new drugs are too fast.C. Many new drugs have no improved advantages.D. Before 2017 no improvement was made to drugs.13. What will US HTA agencies do when no advantage is found in new drugs?A. Get hospitals to use the cheaper drugs.B. Remove government premium on them.C. Arrange financial support for the patients.D. Put new drugs on further trials and studies.14. What's the disadvantage of Germany's HTA trial demands?A. Making drug companies think of illegal ways to cut cost.B. Holding companies back from improving existing drugs.C. Getting patients to depend on the government for support.D. Pushing companies to try alternatives for existing drugs.15.

a dog.In fact,she wasn’t looking for a furry friend at all.But then she met Finn.Today,the34-year-old actress,who’s known for films Mamma Mia,is a dog owner and a spokeswoman at the welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society.“I can’t imagine my life without him,”Seyfried says of6.5-year-old Australian shepherd Finn, who is allowed on her U.S.set.If for some reason he can’t join Seyfried on location---like on a recent trip when she traveled from France to China,Seyfried requests from her dog sitter twice—daily videos of him.Now with a new video for Best Friends Animal Society,she calls herself Finn’s“stage mother.”Seyfried and Finn shot an’80s-themed video for the＃9000StepsChallenge,which asks animal owners to walk9,000steps with their pets on the ninth day of the month to raise awareness to the fact that more than9,000dogs and cats are euthanized(安乐死)in shelters each day because there’s not enough room.As for the video shoot,in which Seyfried and Finn walked the9,000steps---it was more exhausting than a long walk.Seyfried was Finn’s trainer on the shoot.She believes that instead of being Finn’s cp-star,she’ll go back to being BFFs.24.Why did Seyfried originally refuse a pet dog?A.She wasn’t not yet a spokeswoman.B.She wasn’t used to being with a dog.C.She was too busy to care for a dog.D.She had not enough room for a dog.25.Who does the underlined

a long walk.C.To take part in an animal cp-star show.D.To call on public attention to pets’life.27.Which section of a newspaper is this text most likely from?A.NewsB.LifecationD.SportsCPinocchio may be just a children’s fairy tale,but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated this so-called“Pinocchio effect”and found that our noses don’t grow when we tell a lie,but actually shrink a bit.Dr.Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography（体温计）to tell if people were lying,and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful,the temperature of the tip of their nose dropped up to1.2℃,while the temperature of their forehead increased up to1.5℃.Scientist also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink,although the difference is undetected by the human eye.“One has to think in order to lie,which rises the temperature of the forehead,”Dr.Gómez Milán explained the findings.“At the same time we feel anxious,which lowers the temperature of the nose.”For this study,researchers asked a number of60students to perform various tasks while their temperature is scanned by technology.One of these tasks required making a3to4minutes call to their parents or a friend and telling a significant lie.Participants had to make up the lie themselves during the call.Interestingly,this lie detector picked up the“Pinocchio effect”temperature difference in80percent of the test subjects,which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.“With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy”,said Dr.Gómez Milán,who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.28.Why does the writer talk about Pinocchio in the first paragraph?A.To tell a fairy tale.B.To give an example.C.To talk about a scientist.D.To introduce the topic.29.What is“Pinocchio effect”?A.Our noses will grow when we tell a lie.B.Our noses will shrink when we tell a lie.C.The temperature of the forehead falls if we lie.D.The temperature of the student rises for anxiety.30.How did Dr.Gómez Milán feel about the lie detector?A.Doubtful.B.Surprised.C.Confident.D.Puzzled.31.What lesson can we learn from the text?A.A lie will travel very hard.B.Many ways to bring a liar to light.C.A lie never lives to be old.D.Once a liar always a liar.DEast Africa is experiencing the worst desert locust outbreak in decades.Climate events have accelerated breeding of the pest across the region,and with a sudden rise in the locust population expected in coming weeks,urgent actions and funds are needed to prevent a human crisis.Twenty million people in six of the eight East African countries are most affected by an ongoing desert locust outbreak at risk of serious food insecurity.Considered among the most destructive of moving pests,an adult locust can consume2g of plants per day,affecting crops and grasslands.A group typically holds20to150million locusts per square kilometer and can move hundreds of kilometers per day,invading areas covering millions of square kilometers.An active group,therefore,can destroy crops and grasslands within a very short period of time.That global warming could increase the risk of desert locust crisis was proposed over ten years ago,and in February,the UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated that the current outbreak is linked to the effects of climate change:“warmer seas mean more perfect breeding ground for locusts”.The outbreak has its origins in2018,when a series of windstorms in the Arabian Peninsula(阿拉伯半岛)enabled the warm and wet conditions the desert locust requires to breed and band undetected in remote regions.Though our focus here is migration west,dreadful outbreaks of the desert locust have been experienced to the east.The situation is going out of control.A rescue operation and financial support admit no delay. The Food and Agricultural Organization(FAO)can take out only US$138million for rapid response and immediate action—controlling the spread of the desert locust and safeguarding livelihoods.They say the maths is clear:about half the funding(资助)is needed for supervision, ground and sky control,and uniting efforts;the other half is needed for livelihoods and food security of farmers.As for the huge gap,they have called on the international community to act now through funding.However,by the end of February,just US$69million had been promised.This most alarming crisis has developed and is worsening in East Africa.The funds needed to control the situation become very difficult to achieve and the gap is a big concern.32.Why does the crisis happen in East Africa?A.There is a big population there.B.There are large deserts and grasslands.C.Africa lies west of Arabian Peninsula.D.Good climate for breeding plays a role.33.Why does the writer list those figures in Para2?A.To warn of the terrible damage by locusts.B.To help us understand how locusts live.C.To show how many locusts there are now.D.To draw a picture of the present Africa.34.What can we infer from the text?A.The crisis is not noticed until recently.B.More fund is needed to prevent the crisis.C.The crisis has been the focus of the world.D.Locusts are all from the Arabian Peninsula.35.Which is the best title for the text?A.Killing locusts before too lateB.Global warming,a world problemC.Funding Gap for Locust CrisisD.Africa,a crisis-stricken place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。
2020届深圳市高级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ABob and Sue Harvey spent nine years as resident fellows in a dormitory at Sanford and in their bookVirtual Reality and The College Freshman, they write “The Freshman oftenfaces an identity problem during the first semester.” College is a more pressured environment than it used to be, in part because the academic gap between high school and college has increased. Many college freshmen have never had to make independent decisions about sex, drugs and alcohol. Most don’t know how to manage their time or money. They often feel lonely and overwhelmed, resulting in anxiety and depression.Nancy Corbin, director of clinical service for student-counseling (咨询) services at Iowa State University, says her office is seeing a significant increase in requests for counseling from freshmen who are having trouble making the adjustment to college life. She says older teenagers increasingly lack the skills to deal with personal problems that aren’t easily defined or fixed. And they get homesick but have a hard time admitting it.Parents and high schools can make things easier on freshmen by preparing them differently. For example, by teaching them to budget their hours and dollars. The Harveys think high schools should offer a college-life course. “Parents need to focus more on relationship and personal issues and less on how many sheets and towels to take,” they say. Many homesick freshmen think they’ll be regarded as failures if they come home before Thanksgiving. So parents can help by letting them know they’re welcome to return if they feel the need. In the meantime, parents have to find new ways to keep in touch with their college kids. One of the best ways is e-mail. It’s less unpleasant and less expensive than constant phone calls and is more likely to be answered than a handwritten letter.1. Why is the first semester difficult for freshmen in college?A. Because they often fail in exams.B. Because they lack time and money.C. Because they are too homesick to make new friends.D. Because they have to settle personal issues on their own.2. In the last paragraph, it is suggested that ________.A. parents should stop buying anything for their kidsB. parents should develop a good relationship with their kidsC. parents should be taught how to send e-mails to their kidsD. parents should work with high schools in college-life courses3. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Hard Life of College FreshmenB. Approaches to Trouble in CollegeC. Freshmen’s Adaptation ProblemsD. A Strange Phenomenon in CollegeBWater keeps us alive. When it runs out, we have a problem.About one out of four people on the planet are facing a shortage of water. Seventeen countries around the world are dealing with high-water stress. This means they are using almost all the water they have access to. Many are dry countries. Some waste much of their water. Some may currently use too much of their groundwater that they should be saving. Several big cities face acute shortages. These include Sao Paulo, Brazil; Chennai, India; and Cape Town, South Africa. A year ago, Cape Town faced nay Zero-the day when all its dams would he dry.Climate change adds to the risk of water shortages. Rainfall is less steady. The water supply becomes less reliable. The days grow hotter. More water evaporates(蒸发)from lakes and rivers even as demand for water increases. By 2030, the number of cities in the high-stress category may have risen to 45 and include almost 470 million people.All over the world, farmers compete with city residents for water. Rich urban places, such as Los Angeles, use too much water for pools and golf courses. But the worst problem is the growth of cities. Bangalore, India, for example, had a few years with little rain. It built over its many lakes or filled them with city waste. The lakes are no longer the rain water storage tanks they once were. Bangalore now imports water. A lot of the imported water, however, gets lost on the way to Bangalore.To address this issue, what can be done? First, cities can plug leaks in their water distribution system. Wastewater can be recycled. Rain can be harvested and saved for hard times. Lakes and wetlands can be cleaned up and old wells can be restored. And farmers can switch from water-intensive crops like rice to less-thirsty crops like millet(小米).Experts are looking at ways to reduce the number of people on the planet. They are looking at ways to reduce the size of cities. They are looking for ways to encourage people, factories and farmers to use less water.4. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. A quarter of the world's population is living with water shortages.B. Nearly all countries are facing acute water shortages now.C. Underground water should he used to meet the water demand.D. Measures have been taken to deal with the water shortage in India.5. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Rainfall is not as steady as before.B. Climate change may lead to water shortages.C. The water supply relies more on rainfall.D. Hotter weather changes the water demand.6. What can farmers do to deal with water shortage?A. Plug leaks in the water distribution system.B. Clean up lakes and wetlands and restore wells.C. Reduce the number of people in the cities.D. Grow less-water consumption crops instead.7. What will be discussed if the passage continues?A. How to prevent from climate change.B. How to inspire people to save water.C. How to recycle wastewater in citiesD. How to make people get access to clean water.CWhether for a special holiday, as a way of showing gratitude or just a way of letting someone know you care, gift giving is a universal custom Though the purpose may be similar from place to place, traditions vary widely from one country to the next. A behavior that shows respect in one place might be consideredoffensivesomewhere else. Take a look at unique gifting traditions from around the world.Here in theUS, a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift idea for a wedding. However, in certain European countries likeGermany, people believe that a knife presented as a gift will cut off your friendship. There is a way to break it: Tie a coin to the knife or gift box. The receiver then returns the coin to you as a “payment”to remove the bad luck.There's a well-known Italian wedding tradition where the groom's (新郎) tie is cut into a number of tiny pieces. Wedding guests can then "buy” these tie pieces in exchange for cash. It's a fun way to give money to the new couple thatleaves guests with a wedding souvenir.As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture, behaviors such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts are to be done with the right hand. Different from some other cultures , an odd number (奇数) of thingsor currency represents good luck. For example, £11 should be given rather than £10.InZimbabwe, it is common to directly ask for a gift. When you receive a gift without asking for it, even if the giver's family is poor, it's the worst way to reject the offering. Also, expressing thanks with actions is better than giving thanks orally (口头地).These may include jumping up and down, dancing, or whistling.8. What does the underlined word “offensive“ in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Rude.B. Creative.C. Suitable.D. Caring.9. How do people prevent friendship breaking down when giving gifts like knives?A. The guests cut the groom's tie into pieces.B. The receiver returns the coin to the giver.C. The giver gives gifts with the right hand.D. The receiver expresses thanks by dancing.10. What can we learn about the gift giving inZimbabwe?A. It is not proper to ask for a gift directly.B. It's better to reject a gift from a poor family.C. One can express thanks by writing letters.D. Showing gratitude with actions is better than words.11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Wayof Showing GratitudeB. A Fun Behavior to Respect PeopleC. Various Gift Giving TraditionsD. A Special Custom of Gift GivingDIn ancient times, Chinese used plant leaves or bird feathers as a fan during the summer time. This was the earliest form of the fan. The first real fan was made back in the era of Yao and Shun period thousands of years ago. Since then,Chinese-made fans have become a vital part of Chinese art and culture. At the beginning, the fan functioned as a tool to generate a current of air in the hot weather. Now electric fans such as ceiling fans and other technological breakthroughs have taken the place.Long ago, fans caught the attention of ancient Chinese artists by chance. Thereafter, a unique fan art gradually took shape in the history of Chinese culture. Fan art usually includes Chinese calligraphy, paintings, or poems on the sectors（扇区）. Special skills are needed to write or paint on them.Due to its history and partly because of its unique shape, Chinese would soon develop the tradition of using fans as ornaments（装饰品）. Fans are made in different sizes and different color1 s to meet the needs of each request. Other Chinese ornaments, such as the Chinese knot, the green jade, and the Spring Festival picture, areoften combined in each design.The value of fans depends mainly on the materials used and the level of craftsmanship that is involved during the process. Feather, paper, jade, bamboo and silk have all been used as ideal materials to make fans. Ancient Chinese even made iron fans to serve as deadly weapons（武器）in Chinese martial arts. Fans made by famous craftsmen are often characterized by pretty designs and detailed workmanship, and thus become favorites of collectors. Fans with masterpiece fine art like calligraphy or paintings are even more valuable.12.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The origin of fans.B. The materials of fans.C. The popularity of fans.D. The production of fans.13. Why do Chinese use fans as ornaments?A. They are made of valuable materials.B. They reflect the beauty of Chinese culture.C. They convey literature works on the sectors.D. They are often combined with other ornaments.14. Which of the following makes a fan favored by most collectors?A. Its advanced function.B. Its complex character.C. Its artistic handicraft.D. Its various applications.15. What can we infer about the fan from the text?A. Chinese send fans to their friends as gifts.B. Chinese ornaments can meet different requests.C. Traditional fans have lost their functional value.D. The fan plays different roles with the change of time.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。
