ATheaters of the PastThe Greek TheaterTheaters developed in many parts of Greece.Ancient Greek theaters were built in natural open air sites on conveniently shaped hills.This allowed a great mass of people to enjoy a show at a time.Due to this,actors placed emphasis on exaggerated(夸张的)action and speech.And,colorful symbolic masks and costumes were used.The Medieval TheaterThe Medieval theater started in churches.That’s why medieval plays were about Bible stories.At first,it became a custom for priests(牧师)to act out brief scenes during Christmas and Easter.These acts attracted large crowds. Finally the church refused to allow priests to participate in any such events again,so ordinary people began these performances outside.Performances were set in the town square,with several stage settings around it.The Elizabethan TheaterThe England’s theater developed rapidly in the years following the defeat of the Spanish Navy.The dominant feature of Elizabethan theater was the stage,It has three parts:The fore stage for outside scenes;the inner stage for scenes inside a building;an upper stage or balcony for various purposes.The reason for this design is that there were no scene changes,or breaks during the play.Very little scenery was used,so the actors had to create a scene through their voices and dialogues.This led to a more poetic script,and poets became the main source of script writing.The Restoration TheaterSome of the plays told sad stories,but the majority of the plays were really funny.Many specialized machines were used to create the scene.The stage was a very clever idea,in that on the sides of the stage large back shutters(百叶窗) were painted with the scene.1.Why were ancient Greek theaters built on hills?A.To hold a large audience.B.To build a big and strong stage.C.To have a better sound effect.D.To emphasize exaggerated performances.2.In which theater could actors’voices and speech help create scenes?A.The Greek Theater.B.The Medieval Theater.C.The Elizabethan Theater.D.The Restoration Theater.3.What is special about The Restoration Theater?A.Colorful masks were used.B.The stage was smartly designed.C.Most of its plays were sorrowful.D.Ordinary people were the performers.BA new family moved in next door and I got to meet the mother of the family,Lydia.Lydia is Korean,and her family moved to our city so her husband could go to graduate school.We started talking,and she was apologetic about how bad her English was,but I didn’t care.I knew how hard it was to learn a second language.I enjoyed chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play.It was what came next that challenged me:Lydia asked if I’d be willing to help her with her English.Now,I am not a teacher.I admire teachers,and I’m grateful for teachers,and it’s because I admire what they do so much that I was very very sure that I couldn’t do it myself.But Lydia was sure that she wanted my help.I was doubtful.I wasn’t sure my“help”was even worth being called by that name.But because she asked me,I said“yes.”And that was the beginning of a friendship.Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading the newspaper,and as we did,she asked me questions when she had them—questions about language,yes,but also questions about the new culture she found herself in.In turn,I asked my own questions,growing curious about her home country and culture.We bonded over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs.When I complimented(恭维)her cooking,she began to teach me about Korean food,eventually leading to a shared trip to explore the Korean grocery stores in our city.Because of Lydia,I learned more about my own hometown than I ever could have learned by myself.I’m still not sure that I’m any good as a teacher.But I’m grateful I said“yes”when my neighbor asked me to help her with her English.That meant spending extra time with my neighbor,and that extra time meant she didn’t remain just my neighbor.She became my friend.4.What was Lydia sorry about?A.Her bad English.B.Her carelessness.C.Nobody teaching her English.D.Her poor life in a new place.5.What can be concluded from the third paragraph?A.The author admired teachers.B.The author wanted to be a teacher.C.The author didn’t want to help Lydia.D.The author was not confident in helping Lydia.6.Why was the author grateful at the last paragraph?A.She managed to learn English well.B.She made friends with her neighbor.C.She learned how to cook Korean food.D.She realized her dream of being a teacher.7.What can we learn from the passage?A.No pains,no gains.B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.C.To help others is to help ourselves.D.Where there is a will,there is a way.CWeChat is a social mobile application with voice and text messaging timeline and several social features like “Message in a Bottle”.WeChat,a popular instant messaging tool run by Tencent Holdings,aims to help users access mobile services without downloading separate apps,which experts said may challenge the business of smartphone app distributors such Apple Store.This new feature,named“Mini Programs”,allows WeChat users to find a variety of services such as ticket buying by scanning a QR(quick-response)code,saving them the trouble of installing a number of different apps on smart devices,according to the transcript of a speech by Zhang Xiaolong,Tencent’s senior executive vice president, on Wednesday.The new function is expected to come online on January9.Zhang,known as the father of WeChat,emphasized that“Mini Programs”is not a mobile app distributing function.Still,experts and app developers said that the rollout(推出)of“Mini Programs”on WeChat will erode the market share of app distributors like Apple Store in China.“‘Mini Programs’will attract lots of start-ups,because a program based on WeChat can help them build up businesses at much lower costs,”a Shanghai-based app developer,told the Global Times on Wednesday.If a start-up wants to promote its business via a separate application,it has to hire a special team to develop two different apps—one each for IOS and Android.Launched in2011,WeChat has evolved to include services such as“Order Taxi”,“Food Delivery”,e-commerce and payments from just an instant messaging app.8.What can we know about“Mini Programs”?A.It’s expensive.B.It’s complex.C.It’s convenient.D.It’s free.9.Why do lots of start-ups choose the“Mini Programs”?A.It can cut the costs of building business.B.It can help build up business.C.It can help them make a big fortune.D.It can promote their business.10.What does the underlined word“erode”probably mean in Paragraph4?A.Increase.B.Reduce.C.Improve.D.Promote.11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.WeChat will be a perfect app.B.WeChat will meet a great challenge.C.WeChat will meet needs of more people.D.WeChat will replace other apps.DIn my memory,winters always used to be really unpleasant.You had to bundle up just to keep warm when you went outside.You were often cold,wet,slip on the ice,and you’d arrive home to an ice-cold house.And that would mean turning on the heating and waiting.It’s a miracle you didn’t get cold to the bone.Fortunately,things don’t have to be so challenging any more.Technology,engineering and design have advanced giving us new solutions to old problems.It means dealing with winter needn’t be like skating on thin ice. With a smart thermostat(温度自动调节器),our homes can be warm when we need them to be.Many models feature smartphone apps that allow you to control temperature remotely,so we can warm up the house before we arrive home.According to ,Tado’s model features voice control,while the Nest‘leans’your habits and automatically heats the home for you.Clothes have been given an upgrade,too.Electronic thermal jackets,sweaters and coats heat up when you turnthem on.What is the better way to keep warm in the dead of winter?At the touch of a button,or through an app on our phones,the clothing generates heat from elements placed inside.Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over12hours.Finally,there is the clothing for the head,Beanies and Earmuffs,that feature speakers included in the fabric using Bluetooth technology so we can listen to our favourite music or,in some cases,have a phone call using the in-built microphone.All while keeping the head warm and avoiding a cold.For many,the thought of winter used to be enough to make their blood run cold.But using technology,life needn’t freeze up.With the right solutions,there’s no reason why winter can’t be really,really cool.12.What do the underlined words“bundle up”mean in Para.1?A.Fix an air conditioner.B.Take a hot bath.C.Run a lot.D.Put on more clothes.13.How does electronic thermal clothing work?A.The equipment placed inside the clothing produces heat.B.It needs to be warmed up before being used.C.The thermostat heats up automatically when the temperature is low.D.It keeps warm for over12hours after being charged for an hour.14.From the passage,we can learn the following statements EXCEPT that______.A.Tado’s model can be controlled by saying something to itB.with the in-built speaker and microphone,Beanies and Earmuffs users can have a phone callC.technology can do nothing to make winter less roughD.Bluetooth technology is used in the clothing for the head15.What’s the best title of this passage?A.A Smart ThermostatB.A Modern WinterC.Ways of Keeping WarmD.An Unpleasant Winter第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

山东省临沂实验学校2020届高三英语高考模拟卷（九）一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） (共4题；共37.5分) 1．（7.5分）阅读理解You might call them "Internet friends" since I haven't met most of them, but for me they're real friends whether we talk online or in person. I name-drop them in conversations with other friends, we have in-jokes, and we share advice or a listening ear when we need to. They are no different to the friends I have made at home.The problem with my "Internet friendships" comes when I have to explain them to "real friends". "But how can they be your friends if you've never met them?" "What do you really have to talk about?" The list is endless. Even family members think I am a freak (不正常的人) for believing that anyone on the Internet can be a) real b) a true friend c) free of serial killer (连环杀手) tendencies. I've met so many people through Twitter which has led to me meeting them in "real life" as well. When I go to London, it's full of people that I love. At the end of last year after a visit to the city, I spoke to one of my "Internet friends" and said that seeing her had reminded me how much I missed her. Her reply was as follows:"I forget that my Internet friends are just as real and important to me as the friends I grew up with (if not more important sometimes!)".Over the past year, as I often wasn't well enough to even leave the house, my "Internet friends" became extremely important and without them I would have struggled to keep my head above water. My "physical friends" were great, truly, but my "Internet friends" became more important in some respects possibly because of our shared love of travel. Many of us share the same dream of being able to live the life of a traveler for as long as we can and they also know what it takes to do that-things my friends didn't know. When I struggled to see what I needed to do before visiting a place, they were there with advice.（1）（2.5分）What does the author think of "Internet friends"?A．They can't be true friends.B．They are dangerous sometimes.C．They are the same as "real friends".D．They are more reliable than "real friends".（2）（2.5分）How does the author's opinion about "Internet friends" sound to his family?A．It is strange.B．It is popular.C．It is objective.D．It is beneficial.（3）（2.5分）When were the author's "Internet friends" particularly important?A．When he was lonely.B．When he was very busy.C．When he needed suggestions.D．When he couldn't go outside.2．（10分）阅读理解The best-known example of outer influence causing language change is the "Americanization" of world culture, which has caused English words to appear all over the world. The effect is most noticeable in pop music. Foreign groups often record in English, and the words are picked up and repeated everywhere, even by children who otherwise have little or no command of the language. I once met a Brazilian child of about ten who could count "one, two, three", but only by adding the words "o'clock, four o'clock rock" at the end.Some people are often strongly critical of the influence of English on their language-especially when an English word replaces a traditional word. In 1977,France passed a law banning the use of English words in official situations if an equivalent (意义相同的) French expression existed-but the law seemed to be honoured more in the breaking than in the observing. Some other countries have considered introducing a similar law despite the evidence that such laws have very little effect, and that the arrival of loan words (外来词) can greatly enrich a language (as indeed in the case of English itself, which has a long history of welcoming foreign words).However, not everyone is critical. In particular, commercial firms and advertisers are well aware of the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring. In Japan, English is even used in television commercials, despite the fact that the majority of viewers would not understand exactly what was being said: the excellence implied by the mere use of English is apparently enough to command the strategy to the advertisers.Most of the influence of English is upon the vocabulary of foreign languages, but surveys are slowly bringing to light several cases where word order or word structure has been affected. Sentences of the type "The book sells well", using an active construction for a passive meaning, have begun to appear in Danish (Bogen soelgergodt). Several languages keep the English plural ending when they make use of a loan word, and do not translate it into the native form, e.g. drinks. There are many other such cases.（1）（2.5分）Why could the Brazilian child speak "one, two, three" in English?A．Because he had seen these words everywhere in the street.B．Because he had learnt how to tell the time in English.C．Because he had made himself master of English.D．Because he had heard these words in songs a lot.（2）（2.5分）What can we infer about the law passed in France in 1977?A．It was strict.B．It was unfair.C．It was often ignored.D．It was strongly opposed.（3）（2.5分）Why do some Japanese commercials use English?A．To follow the American trend.B．To become world-famous.C．To enrich Japanese.D．To increase sales.（4）（2.5分）How is the last paragraph mainly developed?A．By providing examples.B．By making comparisons.C．By explaining grammar rules.D．By analyzing language change.3．（10分）阅读理解One beautiful day, my good friends and I joined an experienced crew and sailed in the Caribbean. As boating beginners, my friends and I were in charge of spotting the light areas of the seafloor that signaled dangerous reefs (暗礁).Ocean reefs have the potential to destroy any sailboat that passes over them, so while the electronic depth sounder is a necessary tool, it is always helpful to find a reef ahead of time so that it can be more easily avoided.One aspect of boating that was reserved for the experts was tacking, the sailing term for changing direction. All at once, a smooth sail could turn into complete pandemoniumas the captain at the wheel began yelling directions to the first mate (大副), who quickly began struggling with the sails and rigging (索具). Generally, the wind continued to offer resistance. This made the first mate's struggle more demanding and really frightening to the less experienced boaters on board. This mad yelling and tacking could go on for several minutes before all was right again and the boat settled into its new course. Once this had occurred, the captain and the first mate acknowledged each other with congratulatory smiles. We beginners, however, were still recovering from our terror and wondering to ourselves, "Was all that supposed to happen? And they think this is fun?"As we headed back toward the shore, the unpredictable wind not only slowed but stopped, and soon the boat did too. After several minutes, the ship's crew unwillingly turned on the motor. Unfortunately, it wouldn't start and so we floated at sea, no land in sight, just waiting. It was late afternoon when I began to recognize the panic that was rising in my throat. Eventually, the ship's captain got the engine running. The sails were up and the little motor moved along.（1）（2.5分）What were the author and his friends asked to do?A．Watch passing sailboats.B．Notice reefs in the ocean.C．Get experience from the crew.D．Use the electronic depth sounder.（2）（2.5分）What does the underlined word "pandemonium" in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Chaos.B．Damage.C．Devotion.D．Blindness.（3）（2.5分）How did the author feel while the captain and the first mate were busy tacking?A．Confused.B．Amused.C．Scared.D．Excited.（4）（2.5分）What happened when the ship was sailing back?A．There was a fierce wind blowing.B．The engine wouldn't work.C．The author's throat hurt.D．The crew lost their way.4．（10分）阅读理解The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual speed-breakers on major highways and roads, in an attempt to check speeding and careless driving，and eventually make its deadly roads a little safer. "We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers," India's transport minister Nitin Gadkari tweeted.The visual illusions (幻象) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier this month, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a danger to safety for high-speed vehicles.India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over 20,000 people are killed by road accidents due to poor application of road safety laws. This is considerably higher than its official figures of 141,526 for 2014.The use of visual illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings.In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, two artists, mother and daughter have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of this year. The artists say their motto is "to increase the attention of drivers", and that the concept has been successfully tested in zones where accidents easily occur on a highway.However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India's decision does not consider the safety of a large number ofwalkers. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.（1）（2.5分）According to the passage, 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers in India aimsto .A．Replace all speed breakers from highways.B．Encourage essential requirements of speed breakers.C．Check speeding and careless driving on all highways.D．Remind divers to speed down voluntarily for road safety.（2）（2.5分）What caused the high number of road accident deaths in India?A．Speeding motorists.B．Floating 3D crossings.C．Free use of visual illusions.D．Bad application of traffic laws.（3）（2.5分）The author explains the experiment of 3D zebra crossings in India by .A．giving examples.B．analysing causes.C．providing figures.D．making comparisons.（4）（2.5分）What's the author's attitude towards 3D zebra crossings?A．subjective.B．objective.C．supportive.D．critical.二、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） (共1题；共12.5分) 5．（12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020届临沂市实验中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AChina has 410K5Gbase stationsChina built 257,000 new 5G base stations in the first half of the year, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).Shipments of 5G phones reached 8623 million unis in China, with 5G package users hitting 66 million by the end of June, said Wen Ku, head of information and communication at the ministry.To give full play to the commercialization of 5G, more policies should be implemented to boost the vitality of the market, Wen said, adding that international cooperation in 5G technology, industry and application should be strengthened.AG600 seaplane’s test flightKunlong, China’s homegrown AG600 large amphibious aircraft, conducted its first sea-based test flight on Sunday morning, marking a new milestone in the program.The AG600 is China’s second amphibious aircraft, after the SH-5, which was developed in the 1970s for military purposes and has been retired for a long time.These specifications make it the world’s biggest amphibious aircraft, surpassing Japan’s ShinMaywa US-2 and Russia’s Beriev Be-200.Once in service, it will put an end to the absence of a large rescue aircraft in China and will be very useful in the national emergency rescue and disaster relief systems.Beidou products land abroadAccording to Ran Chengqi, director general of China Satellite Navigation Office, Beidou has been constantly deepening its compatibility, interoperability and cooperation with the US’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the EU’s Galileo. It has also entered international organizations of civil aviation, maritime affairs, search and rescue satellites and mobile communication.BDS-based services have been successfully applied in land mapping, precision farming, digital development and smart port construction in member countries of ASEAN, South Asia, Eastern Europe, West Asia and Africa.1. What can we learn from this passage?A. The total number of 5G phones has reached a new level.B. Kunlong, unlike SH-5, is not just for military purposes.C. Technologies mentioned above need more cooperation with others.D. BDS-based services have been provided for users in many countries.2.

If your friend did a course in marketing management, he may choose a job in a ________.A. 5G technology related marketB. large amphibious aircraftC. BDS-based projectD. China Satellite Navigation OfficeBMark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It's life-changing but it's not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical (辅助医疗的) tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Using flesh-toned (肉色的) inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients' view of themselves.Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.“Plastic surgery gave me no hope,” she says. “So I looked for other options.” She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano. He hid Pollan's lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence.“ You don't understand until you've been through it,” Pollan says. “It made me have a different look on life.”Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn't charge for paramedical tattoos. “Financially, it doesn't make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see thatemotion from my customers, I'm 100 percent sure this is something that I can't stop doing.”4. What best describes people's attitude when first hearing of fingernail tattoos?A. Indifferent.B. Ridiculous.C. Confident.D. Surprised.5. What did Catalano do to help Leslie Pollan?A. He drew an artistic puppy.B. He inked scars on her face.C. He created a lip tattoo.D. He performed plastic surgeries on her.6. What can we infer from the passage?A. Cosmetic surgery is of no use.B. Tattoos earn Mark Bertram a good fame.C. Catalano is a kind and generous person.D. Fingernail tattoos are popular around the world.7. What could be the best title for the text?A. A Life-changing EventB. Miracle TattoosC. An Amazing ArtistD. A Promising BusinessCWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students inAuckland,New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher.Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program forAucklandelementary schools.Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.8.

They could get close to smartphone screen.9. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?A. It can smile back.B. It can use microphone.C. It can talk any topic for free.D. It can change if necessary.10. What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?A. Optimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Unclear.D. Disapproving.11. What might be the best title for the passage?A. New High-tech Contributes to EducationB. The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.C. The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to StudentsD.New ZealandWill Replace Teachers in ClassroomsDAccording to statistics published by the BPI (Buying Power Index) a couple of months ago, digital streaming (流媒体) now accounts for 80 percent of the music consumption in the UK. Despite the incredible growth of online streaming platforms like iTunes, Apple Music and Tidal over the past 15 years, a more traditional medium has also seen a return of interest and sales in the music industry. In 2020, almost one in five of all albums purchased in the UK is vinyl (黑胶唱片), and it has once again become the most popular physical musical medium.With digital streaming so easy and convenient, why are so many peopledrawn to traditional records? Someexperts claim that vinyl is a physical medium for experiencing music, something tangible (有形的) to hold and own. For most people, having something tangible and interacting with it gives depth to the experience of music. Listening to an album and touching it the way the artist intended can make them feel more connected to the music and the artist. Records are physical products that can be not only displayed but also gifted, shared, traded and passed down through generations.Sound quality is another hot topic. A lot of music lovers feel that the analogue sound (模拟声音) vinyl offers is superior to modern digital audio, particularly with regards to the compressed formats streaming platforms use. There’s a common belief that old-school analogue audio has a warmer, fuller sound than digitised music. For vinyl followers, the very defect traditional recorders often have, such as the familiar crackle (劈啪作响) when the record starts, bring the music to life in a different way.There’s aritualisticaspect to vinyl that a lot of people are drawn to, too. The act of putting a record on—carefully removing the record from the sleeve, placing it on the record player and gently dropping the needle on the right groove (凹槽)—is a more assiduous (一丝不苟的), mindful way of engaging with music. When you’re listening to vinyl, you can’t tap abutton and go about your day while the streaming service provides hours of music. You need to stay close to the record player to move the needle and flip the record over.It’s clear that the vinyl interest is well underway, and vinyl records are truly making a comeback. In an increasingly digital society, there’s something to be said for analogue experiences. Perhaps one of the great things about being alive in the 21st century is our ability to have the best of both worlds—the timeless appeal of physical records alongside the easy access to vast music libraries that streaming offers.12. What are the statistics published by the BPI used to show?A. An increase in music consumption.B. The recovery of music industry.C. A comeback of a physical medium.D. The acceptance of online streaming.13. According to some experts, why does vinyl interest many people?A. It attracts people by its realistic feel.B. It offers simple access to different music.C. It shares a new way to enjoy music.D. It provides people with perfect sound effect.14. The underlined word “ritualistic” in Para.4 means something ______.A. Overlooked by society.B. Updated very frequently.C. Performed as part of a ceremony.D. Kept for a long time without changing.15. How does the writer feel about the future development of music medium?A. Traditional records will get underway.B. The analogue experiences may matter more.C. Vinyl sales will boom with technological advance.D. There should be a good mix of old and new.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。

Portraits are works of art that engage with ideas of identity rather than just a likeness. These concepts of identity involve social rank, gender, age, profession, character of the subject, etc. It is impossible to copy all the aspects of identity. Therefore, portraits reflect only certain qualities of subjects. Portrait art has also undergone significant shifts in artistic practice. The majority of portraits are the outcome of current artistic fashions and favored styles. Therefore, portrait art is an art category providing various engagement with social, psychological, and artistic practices and expectations.Since portraits are different from other art categories, they are worthy of separate study. During their production, portraits require the presence of a specific person, or an image of the individual. In many instances, the production of portraiture has required sittings, which result in interaction between the subject(s) and theartist throughout the creation of the work. In certain instances, portrait artists depended on a combination of different involvement with their subjects. If the sitter can’t sit in the studio regularly, portraitists could use his or her photographs. InEurope, during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the sitting time was sometimes decreased by focusing only on the head. Theoretically, portraitists could work from impressions or memories when creating a painting, but this rarely occurred according to documented records. Nonetheless, whether the work is based on model sittings, copying a photograph, or using memory, the process of painting a portrait is linked with the model’s attendance.Furthermore, portrait painting can be distinguished from other artistic categories by its connection with appearance, or likeness. As such, the art of portrait painting got a reputation for imitation instead of for artistic innovation. Based on Renaissance art theory, portraiture was related to the level of a mechanical exercise as opposed to a fine art. Michelangelo’s well-known protest against portraits is only one example. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the attitude to portraiture was critical. Even so, artists from around the globe persisted in painting portraits despite their theoretical objections. Picasso, for example, became widely-known forcubist still-life painting(立体派静物画) early in his career, but some of his early experiments in this new style were his portraits of art dealers.4. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A. The changing definition of portraiture reflects shifting attitudes to it.B. Most portraits reflect artistic fashions and favored styles when created.C. Portraiture is a more complex art form than is defined in a dictionary.D. Portrait art shouldn’t be seen as a distinct art category for its complexity.5. Which of the following is a characteristic of portraiture mentioned in paragraph 2?A. Portraiture typically takes much less time than other art forms.B. Portraiture often requires frequent cooperation between artists.C. Portraits show models in a more accurate way than other art forms.D. Portraits generally involve interaction between subjects and artists.6. According to paragraph 2, during portraits’ production, artists __________.A. based their work on the subjects’ attendanceB. preferred models’ photographs to their presenceC. were more willing to use impressions or memoriesD. reduced sitting time to concentrate on a sitter’s head7. Picasso is chosen as an example by the author because he __________.A. altered the way other artists felt about portrait artB. created portraits in spite of his objection to portrait artC. depended on portrait art to establish a higher reputationD. had fewer theoretical objections to portraitures than othersCIt’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Scott Kelly said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer.Scott spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station (ISS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to describe and that the fluids(积水) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Scott said.He discussed life aboard including spending time with Russian astronauts. They came from different cultures. He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.Though life there was not easy, Scott never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussed experiences growing up, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination.“Never give up or lower your dreams. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard, you’ll find it really rewarding,” Scott said in the end.8. Scott mentioned his experience in the ISS mainly to show ________.A. he enjoyed making speechesB. he was a responsible astronautC. his life in space was challengingD. the daily life of an astronaut can be boring9. What may benefit Scott most when he lived with Russian astronauts?A. He won some awards through teamwork.B. He found the fun of living in the Space Station.C. He learned to develop close relationships with others.D. He picked up some knowledge of Russian culture.10. Which of the following can best describe Scott?A. Kind and thoughtful.B. Curious and humorous.C. Easygoing and sociable.D. Hardworking and determined.11. What does the author intend to tell us from Scott’s story?A. It’s importantto have a dreamB. Easy things are also worth doingC. A suitable career leads one to success.D. Difficult things are demanding but rewardingDThe Great Barrier Reef's outlook remains “very poor” despite coral (珊瑚) recovery over the past year, Australian government scientistssaid Monday, just days before a UNESCO ruling on the site's world heritage (遗产) status.The United Nations cultural agency recommended last month that the world's largest reef (珊瑚礁) system be placed on its endangered list because of damage to the corals largely caused by climate change.The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) said the corals were now in a “recovery window” after a decade of harmful heat stress and cyclones (旋风). But such opportunities were becoming rarer due to the influence ofclimate change, the government agency, which has monitored the reef for 35 years, said in its annual report released today. “The increasing emergence of climate-related extreme weather events and starfish outbreaks is causing more severe and frequent pressures, giving the reef fewer opportunities like this to recover,”CEO Paul Hardisty said. The scientists surveyed 127 reef sites in 2021 and found hard coral cover had increased at 69 of the 81 locations surveyed in the past two years.Separate scientific research released last October found the 2, 300-kilometre (1, 400 miles) system had lost half its corals since 1995, with a series of ocean heatwaves causing mass coral death.Britta Schaffelke, research program director at AIMS, said the latest findings provided a slight hope that the reef still has the power of recovering. But she added that its future is still very poor because of the dangers of climate change and other factors that are affecting the reef.UNESCO has urged Australia to take urgent climate action but the government has long resisted calls to commit to net zero emissions (排放) by 2050. The government has said it hopes to meet the target “as soon as possible” without harming its economy, insisting dealing with climate change requires a global effort. The reef was worth about US $4. 8 billion a year in tourism for the Australian economy and there are fears that an “in danger” listing could weaken its tourist appeal.12. What is the major cause of the damage to the corals?A. The climate change.B. Lack of money.C. Over development.D. Too many tourists.13. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The result of the survey.B. The efforts AIMS has made.C. The slight chance of the recovery.D. The terrible situation of the climate.14. What is Britta Schaffelke's attitude towards the future of the reef?A. Unclear.B. Positive.C Intolerant. D. Anxious.15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Australia wants to put the reef on the endangered list.B. The Australian government has ignored UNESCO's demand.C. Australia hopes to keep a balance between emission target and its economy.D. The Australian government refuses to take its share of responsibility of climate change.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。
