A．Summer comes and we start thinking of ways to increase liquid intake. Water-rich fruits like watermelon become a basic part of your diet during summer. These fruits can certainly help to stop our thirst. Watermelons are not only nutritious but also help us beat the summer heat. However, can watermelons be shared with our pet dog?There is absolutely no harm in giving a watermelon to your pet. Watermelons are excellent sources of vitamins A and C as well as minerals. Moreover, they help to stop your pet’s thirst as they contain more than 70% water.Before sharing a watermelon with your dog, make sure that you do not feed beyond his ability to digest. The amount you feed will vary depending upon how big your dog is. For instance, if you have a small breed dog, giving a small slice is enough. However, an adult Golden Retriever certainly has the ability to consume more slices.Also, make sure that you remove the seeds before feeding watermelon slices to your dog. This is because dogs find the seeds very difficult to digest; hence their consumption is likely to cause stomach upset.Moreover, the seeds can actually be harmful to your dog as the seeds can be poisonous to your dog when eaten too much. Even taking a few may cause stomach upset in some dogs. So it is best to avoid feeding the seeds to your pet.As far as offering the skin of the watermelon is concerned, you should avoid it. While the rind(外皮) contains a great number of nutrients, if not chewed properly and swallowed, it can get stuck in the stomach and cause a serious digestive problem in dogs.On the whole , while watermelon is not bad for a dog’s health, feeding it in small portions without the skin and the seeds is necessary to keep digestive issues at bay.21. Which of the following isn’t the reason why watermelons can be shared with the pet?A. They are rich in vitamins.B. They contain superior minerals.C. They can provide enough water.D. They can strengthen the digestive system.【答案】：D22. What decides the amount of the watermelon you share with a pet?A. They type of a pet.B. The size of a pet.C. The ripeness of a watermelon.D. The taste of a watermelon. 【答案】：B【解析】：本题主要在文章第三段。

AWith all the attention Thanksgiving and Christmas get from travellers, it’s easy to overlook Halloween as a destination holiday. While a few cities provide a ghostly atmosphere all year round, annual festivals, theme park pop-up events and other haunted happenings elsewhere have helped make the holiday a travel mini-season all its own.New OrleansHome to year-round cemetery walks, New Orleans is among the cities that naturally harmonize with Halloween. Worth noting every October is the family-friendly Halloween parade, happening this year on Oct. 21, with floats devoted to themes like werewolves and vampires. Float riders throw locally made candies to the crowd. New Orleans hosts plenty of after-event-parties, but the procession itself draws all ages in costume.Whitby, EnglandThis picturesque town on England’s Yorkshire coast is considered to be the home of Dracula, though in a different way. Bram Stoker spent just a month in Whitby, but those four weeks in July and August 1890 were important in the creation of his most famous book, “Dracula”, which was published in 1897. Whitby celebrated the 125th anniversary of Stoker’s visit in 2015, but this year you can see the skeletal remains of Whitby Abbey illuminated throughout the final week of October.Salem, MassachusettsHome to the infamous witch trials of the early 1690s, it should come as no surprise that this town is a hotbed for Halloween activity. One way Salem builds on its spectral past is with the nearly month-long festival of the Dead. Events starting from mid-October this year include psychic readings, mourning-themed tea and on Halloween night, a witches gathering.Orlando, FloridaThe home of Disney World and Universal Studios goes all-out with huge Halloween events. Universal this year will hold its 27th Halloween Horror Night on Oct. 30, a seasonal pop-up featuring haunted houses and “scareactors” employed to frighten visitors. Plus, there are many other activities like trick-or-treating, Disney character encounters, a Halloween ball and fireworks.1. Which of the following is most recommended for a family going together?A. New Orleans.B. Whitby, England.C. Salem, Massachusetts.D. Orlando, Florida.2. Where do Halloween activities last the longest this year?A. New Orleans.B. Whitby, England.C. Salem, Massachusetts.D. Orlando, Florida.3. What can you do in Orlando, Florida ?A. Have mourning-themed tea.B. Enjoy dancing.C. Watch Disney movies.D. See skeletal remains.【答案】1. A2. C3. B【语篇解读】这是一篇应用文。

2020年高考英语真题和模拟题（含答案及解析）阅读理解一、2020 年高考真题B（2020·新高考全国卷 I 山东卷，B）Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor’s degree.Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed( 牺牲) to achieve her goal, givin g up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. ‘‘Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,’’ she says.

2024年高考真题Passage1【新课标Ⅰ卷】“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him?A. He’s odd.B. He’s strict.C. He’s brave.D. He’s rude.25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?A. He was trained in it at university.B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.C. He benefited from it as a patient.D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment.B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work.C. Examples of rare animal diseases.D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine.27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?A. To prove Farber’s point.B. To emphasize its importance.C. To praise veterinarians.D. To advocate animal protection.【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. A【导语】本文是记叙文。

2020年高考英语5-6月最新全国卷模拟题汇编专题04阅读理解之记叙文1.（2020届安徽省名校高考模拟）My name is Matthew. I'm not someone who has many secrets，because I'm a terrible liar. But there is one huge secret that I kept for years- -I failed my driving test. I had never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious , but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam , but getting behind the wheel was a different story.But when October 30th rolled around ,my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school , showing off the brand new license they'd gotten. Looking back on that special day,I can't remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test , pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds , and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn't upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn't want to take the test on my birthday.One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I've never experienced——but sill, I couldn't imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn't. It wasn't until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes ,I had also failed.Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience , without which one couldn't make a true man.4．What can we learn about Matthew?A．He was a slow learner of driving.

''Indeed, he did.After a few minutes, his mother said, ''Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order.We could use a sponge(海绵) , a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer? '' He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said, ''You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry big milk bottle with two tiny hands.Let's go to the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it. '' The little boy leaned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were opportunities for learning something new, which is what scientific experiments are all about.Wouldn't it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert'smother responded to him?4．What happened when the boy dropped the milk bottle?A．He got injured and burst into tears.B．He cried over the broken milk bottle.C．His mother scolded him for making a mess.D．His mother encouraged him to play with the milk.5．What was his mother's purpose by inviting him to do the clean-up together?A．To inspire his creativity.B．To promote his responsibility.C．To develop his cooking skill.D．To improve his experiment ability.6．Why did the mother take the boy to the backyard?A．To fetch water for cleaningB．Top our milk into the bottle.C．To help him wipe off his memory of failure.D．To explore how to carry bottles successfully.7．What is critical to the scientist's creativity?A．His childhood toys.B．His mother's strictness.C．Lessons from making mistakes.D．Failure in scientific experiments.3.（2020届福建省泉州市高三第一次质检）Connie Monroe clicks a button, flicks her wrist and watches as her neighborhood floods. The shorelines are first to go. Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park. By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Monroe moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated (仿真的) view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most vexing: How do you show people and convince them of a possible future?Communicating the realness and immediacy of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to lessen its causes. But it's also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. These projects need public support and input. That's why Monroe and other residents (居民) are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual reality headsets and watch their homes flood.Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare. It has partnered with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.The virtual reality program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step. Virtual reality is an immersive experience that can trick the human brain into thinking it's real. But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation being used at Turner Station, says Juiano Calil, one of the program's developers. ''The goal, '' he says, ''is to start a conversation and help folks visualize the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the trade-offs between them. ''8．Who is Monroe?A．A coastal community citizen. B．A climate researcher.C．An architect. D．A VR program developer.9．What does the underlined word ''vexing'' mean in paragraph 2?A．Bothersome. B．Dramatic.C．Original. D．Convincing.10．Why is VR technology employed here?A．It can cut down the risks of climate change.B．It can show severe results of climate change.C．It can introduce technology to the residents.D．It can predict the climate change accurately.11．What is the purpose of the program?A．To trick more people to believe.B．To win the residents’cooperation.C．To advocate the application of VR.D．To inform the residents of the solutions.4.（2020届广东广雅中学高三适应性考试）"How do you account for your remarkable accomplishment in Queen Victoria of the UK asked Helen Keller. "How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf you were able to accomplish so much?"Ms. Keller's answer is a tribute (致敬) to her dedicated teacher. "If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”According to speaker Zig Ziglar, "Little Annie" Sullivan, as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly "insane" by her caregivers. She was locked in the basement of a mental institution outside of Boston. On occasion, Little Annie would violently attack anyone who came near. Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.An elderly nurse believed there was hope, however, and she made it her mission to show love to the child. Every day she visited Little Annie. For the most part, the child did not acknowledge the nursed presence, but she still continued to visit. The kind woman left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement. She believed Little Annie could recover, if only she were shown love.Eventually, doctors noticed the change in the girl. Where they once witnessed anger and hatred, they now noted a gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly "hopeless'' child was released.Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she herself was helped by the kind nurse. It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her, disciplined her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon of light to the world. Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helen's life; but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown." But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse, the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown.4．The dialogue between Queen Victoria and Helen Keller is mentioned mainly to .A．show a deep admiration for Helen KellerB．prove that Helen Keller made a great contributionC．begin telling the story of Helen Keller teacher Anne SullivanD．get the reader interested in how Helen Keller achieved so much5．What is the hardship mentioned in the third paragraph?A．Sullivan had a strange disease.B．Almost everyone ignored Sullivan.C．Sullivan was kept away from her parents.D．Sullivan was believed to have a mental problem.6．What can we conclude from the article?A．Sullivan liked the nurse from the very beginning.B．Sullivan experienced firsthand how terrible the life of a deaf child was.C．The elderly nurse had no doubt that Sullivan would be a great teacher.D．Without the nurse, Sullivan couldn't have helped Helen Keller later.7．Which of the following would be the best title for the article?A．The Power of LoveB．Making a DifferenceC．The Secret to Being a Good TeacherD．Similarities Between Anne and Helen5.（2020届广西桂林调研）Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age.

They left to spend the night in motels or at friends’ homes that were out of range of approaching summer storm.Challenging the weather that threatened to damp our spirits, we lit a fire on the beach. Dad told jokes and we had a good time. When it was 6:30 p.m., all laughter disappeared. Our eyes were drawn to the sky. A tornado（龙卷风）was headed straight for us! In a flash, we were all on our feet.

The huge windows and the cottage itself wouldn’t offer safety from high wind.“Follow me!” my dad yelled. We crawled（爬）beneath the deck, pressing ourselves against the foundation of the cottage. Between the deck supports, we watched the approaching storm in silent terror.My dad shouted, “Hold on!” and something else I couldn’t hear over the screaming wind. I think he was praying. By the time it reached our cottage, it was nothing more than a strong wind. The rest of the storm lasted foran hour and then simply blew away.“Next time, we’ll stay inland at Grandma’s.

As the story goes, I was three days old and Mom was singing “The Name Game” song to me: “ChristineBo-Bean-Banana-Fanna-Fo-Feen.” By day four, I was given a new name—Christine-Bo-Bean, or just Bo-Bee to my mother. Now, I am Bo to her and close friends.Why is this nickname（昵称）so important to me? I once read a book with a passage about True Names which explains that when a person’s true name is spoken, she has a distinct aura（光环）around her. Although I have been Bo to my mother all my life, I recently discovered that my true name is not on my birth certificate; it’s the name that is as unique and memorable as I am.People usually know me as Christine. They still see me as a quiet, bookish child. They don’t know who I am now. My most recent hopes, fears, goals, dreams and opinions escape their notice; it is easier to think of me as I was. In their minds, they have a box labeled “Christine” in which I fit neatly, and as Christine, I was content with the perfect packaging.Those who call me Bo or Bo-Bee really know me. They remember who I was and realize I have changed. Bois a tight squeeze in the old “Christine” boxes. The Bo I am is ever-changing, ever-growing and ever-learning.When I was Christine, I was quiet, and easily scared. I feared groups, meeting new people and sharing my opinions. I was more comfortable with a book than my best friend. As Christine, I thought everyone was better than I was.As Bo, I still love my books, but I want to discuss them. As Bo, my dream is to live where I can experience new things and meet new people. I dream about being alone on a stage lit by a single spotlight; I have that confidence now. I am equal to those I once saw as better than me.A name shouldn’t make such a difference, but sometimes, when a person finds his or her True Name, they develop a new shine visible to friends, family and especially themselves.I can’t always be Bo. Sometimes exposing myself is still scary and I feel too nervous; I want to hide in those old boxes. Mostly, however, I am ready for the world. So, just call me Bo.4．When was the author given a nickname?A．When she was three years old.B．On the fourth day after she was born.C．Seven days after she was born.D．When she received the old “Christine” box.5．What do the people know about the author as Christine?A．They think the author is active and crazy.B．They care about the author’s most recent feelings.C．They don’t realize the author has changed.D．They don’t know the author has changed her name.6．What kind of person was the author in the past?A．She showed no interest in reading.B．She took pleasure in finding new things.C．She loved reading and sharing books with friends.D．She lacked confidence and preferred to be alone.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Bo—the True NameB．A Unique NameC．Remember the PastD．The Meaning of Nickname8.（2020届河南省焦作市高三三模）During Rick’s birth in 1962, his brain was damaged for oxygen lack. The doctors told Dick Hoyt that there was no hope of his son being anything more than a “vegetable”. Yet Dick and his wife were det ermined to raise him at home.At age 13, Rick told his father he wanted to participate in a five-mile benefit run for the disabled. Dick was not a runner, but he agreed to push Rick through the race course in his wheelchair. That was when a surprising thing happened. During the run, Rick felt as though he wasn’t disabled anymore—he was simply one of the runners. This experience deeply affected Dick, and he committed to running an increasing number of events with his son so that Rick could have this feeling as often as possible.At first, other competitors often treated them as outsiders and even avoided them. But gradually, what began as a way for Rick Hoyt to experience inclusion and equality broadened in its purpose. Running together became a way to send a message that, as Rick said, everybody should be included in everyday life. The pair’s first Boston Marathon in 1981 finished in the top quarter of the field, and shortly thereafter, attitudes began to change. Many athletes would come up to them before the race to wish them luck.The 2013 Boston Marathon was the 31st time the Hoyts had run the race, and it was also their last race. Dick has run thousands of miles to be with and support his son. Their athletic pursuits have enriched Rick’s life and had a pra ctical benefit for Dick’s life as well: After a heart attack, Dick’s doctors told him he might have died 15 years earlier if he weren’t in such good shape.4．What inspired Dick to keep running?A．Rick felt he was a healthy person in running.B．Rick could raise money by taking part in running.C．Rick’s wish was to be an excellent runner one day.D．Rick could rebuild his brain by running.5．What message did the Hoyts send by running?A．Everyone is a part of the world.

Would we even make it a week without going mad? Living room, kitchen, office, dining room, all in one small four-walled space.There were a number of other potential options. We could move out into the suburbs like most people do in our extraordinarily expensive city and have a small yard maybe even a basement. But there was something about this neat “tiny” home that aroused our interest, which challenged us. We like to live differently from the crowd, to avoid what everyone else is doing “just because” everyon e else is.“Let’s try it for six months. If it makes us crazy, we’ll move. We can do anything for 6 months,” my husband said. It was challenging squeezing into the space at first, but then something caught us by surprise. We started having a ton of fun with our tiny space.In the past, sometimes we had quite different ideas about which art or decorating style we found appealing. But here, in this tiny space, we found ourselves having a ton of fun exploring possible options. There’s no room for clutter(凌乱的东西), either. This is a gift!It’s been 8 months, and we’re staying. Perhaps forever. When a space is this small, you don’t need to spend much in furnishing it, and you can’t keep endlessly buying things. There’s nowhere to put them!This leaves us more financial resources and more time to go out into the much bigger world and enjoy life. For us, living in a “tiny” home has filled us with a feeling of abundance. It’s so much better than feeling weighed down, paying for a big space and more and more things. I highly recommend it.24．What can we learn from the words of the author’s husband?A．He didn’t like to stay in the small space.B．He made up his mind to stay in the small space.C．He was uncertain about living in the small space.D．He encouraged the author to live in the small space.25．What do we know about the author’s experience from the text?A．It was depressing but inspiring.B．It was challenging but interesting.C．It was disappointing but touching.D．It was embarrassing but rewarding.26．What’s the main advantage of living in the small room to the author?A．She could enjoy life more. B．She could avoid the crowds.C．She could clean the room easily. D．She could enjoy a feeling of freedom.27．What is the best title for the text?A．A new trend of living B．Th e joy of living “tiny”C．Save space, save money D．Make good use of space10.（2020届河南省新乡市高三第二次模拟）Najib is an Afghan who grew up in Iran.
