Plants will give out an increased amount of heat when they are ．A. facing an infrared scannerB. sprayed with pesticidesC. exposed to extreme sun raysD. inpoor physical condition5. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely，we can use infrared scanning to ．A draw a color1﹣coded mapB evaluate the damage to the cropsC. locate the problem areaD. measure the size of the affected area6. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties of ．A. the lack of official supportB. its high costC. the lack of financial supportD. its failure to help increase production7. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of ．A. full support from agricultural expertsB. the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureC. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceD. growing concern about the over use of pesticides on cropsCWatching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what's on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adultsfor five years, splitting them into three categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) - meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health problems like heart conditions and diabetes.When the participants reported back five years later 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome — and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters. But that's not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, larger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.The researchers saygobblingmakes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signal you to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” said Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate lesswhen told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing. Initial research even suggests chewing your food longer could bum more calories - up to about 1,000 extra every month.8. What are the participants divided by?A. Medical history.B. Health condition.C. Physical activity.D. Eating speed.9. Which may be the result of the study?A. Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome.B. Normal and slow eaters don’t have metabolic illness.C. 89% of fast eaters have higher blood pressure.D. Slow caters are healthier than fast eaters.10. What does the underlined word “gobbling” in Paragraph 4 best mean?A. Tasting slowly.B. Digesting quickly.C. Eating greedily.D. Cooking carefully.11. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. The importance of eating speed.B. The advantage of eating slowly.C. The result of a Chinese study.D. Fast eating and overeating.DTwenty years ago, I became involved in pet therapy(疗法) work with our Angel. As she matured and went through professional training, we realized that she would be good at this new job.Angel is ten now and works every week. She visits two hospitals providing day care for the elderly, and our library’s PAWS forReadingprogram. At the library, six to ten dogs lie on the floor, and the kids pick a book to read to a dog. After they finish, they get a card with the dog’s picture and history. Angel also helps out at a special-needs camp. She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her, especially the kids she has worked with.We have seen some very special things through our pet therapy work. I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was completely unable to move the right side of her body from a stroke(中风). One day, my husband, Jack, got Angel up into a chair next to the woman’s bed, asking her if she wanted to give Angel a treat. She nodded. Angel gently took the treat. Then the woman raised her right hand and started petting Angel. Her friend couldn’t believe her eyes.After that, every time we saw the woman, she lifted her left hand. We’d tell her she had to use her right hand,and she would. Next, you’ll fall in love with this woman’s story of rearing her own Angel later in her family and why she calls it the best decision she ever made.12. Who is Angel?A. A pet trainer.B. A hospitalC. A therapy dog.D. The author’s kid.13. What does Angel usually do?A. Save seriously ill people.B. Pay visits to kids in hospital.C. Protect the elderly in their homes.D. Help children at a special camp.14. Why was the woman’s friend astonished?A The woman moved her right hand.B. The woman treated Angel.C. Angel helped the woman recover.D. Angel got along with the woman.15. What does the underlined word “rearing” in the last paragraph mean?A. Accompanying.B. Raising.C. Assisting.D. Training.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。

2020年潍坊一中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AThe “laugh out loud” face is officially the world’s most popular emoji, according to researchers from Adobe (ADBE) who surveyed 7,000 users across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Australia, and South Korea.The “thumbs up” emoji came in second, followed by the “red heart” emoji. The flirtatious “wink and kiss” and “sad face with a tear” emojis respectively rounded out the top five.The software maker on Thursday released the findings from its 2021 Global Emoji Trend Report ahead of World Emoji Day on Saturday.Adobe’s latest Emoji Trend report also examined the three most misunderstood emojis in the world. The “eggplant” symbol edged out the “peach” and the “clown” emojis respectively as the most confusing for users.The vast majority of emoji users (90%) believe the modern —day hieroglyphs make it easier for them to express themselves. Eighty — nine percent of respondents said emojis simplify communicating across language barriers. And 67% said they think people who use emojis are friendlier, funnier and cooler than those who don’t. A slight majority of respondents said they are more comfortable expressing emotions through emojis than talking on the phone or in —person. More than half of global emoji users (55%) said using emojis in communications has positively impacted their mental health. Seventy — six percent of those surveyed said emojis are an important communication tool for creating unity, respect and understanding. And 88% said they feel more empathetic toward people who use emojis.1.What are the three most popular emojis according to the passage?A.clown thumbs up laugh out loudugh out loud thumbs up wink and kissugh out loud thumbs up red heartD.thumbs up red heart sad face with a tear2.Which emoji is the most confusing one for users?A.Peach.B.Eggplant.C.Clown.D.Wink and kiss.3.Which of the following best describes the attitude of most people surveyed to emojis?A.Favorable.B.Passive.C.Indifferent.D.Doubtful.BAmerica---that glorious symbol of multiculturalism, the great melting pot---qualifies as part of the developed world, right? Not quite, if we consider the state of second language learning in schools across the country. According to a 2018 study, Europe often tops the U.S. in foreign language education in school. 92% of European students are learning a foreign language in school. In America it’s only 20%. In more than 20 European countries, studying a foreign language for at least one year is compulsory. In comparison, only 10 states and D.C. require learning a foreign language for graduation.I went to a public school in Pennsylvania that ranked onNewsweek’s list of America’s top high schools in 2015. Foreign language learning was not a graduation requirement. A common response to such stories and statistics is: So what? Why should Americans care about learning another language when English has recently seemed to dominate as the official language of the world?The world is globalizing faster than we can imagine. More than half of the world’s population speaks more than one language. It is also increasingly becoming the need for success in this globalizing world. Having the ability to speak a second language opens up the possibility of travelling and immersing yourself in another part of the world. This means people can feel other cultures, and traditions in places you were previously kept away because you could not communicate in the language.The teaching of foreign languages can be instrumental in bringing about peace and unity in the country we live in. Learning a second language can be an efficient vehicle to help to bridge communities. To speak another language means having access to a universe of different experiences and world views of another community of people.4. Why does the writer mention Europe?A. America makes studying a foreign language compulsory.B. America is the glorious symbol of multiculturalism.C. America isn’t really qualified as the developed world.D. America doesn’t focus on foreign language education5. What is American’s attitude towards education of foreign languages?A. Less concerned.B. More worried.C. Quite doubtful.D. Very supportive.6. What can visiting people do if they can speak the language where they visit?A. Make the world globalizing.B. Achieve success in business.C. Experience people’s real life there.D. Keep away their own culture.7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Using a second language can bring harmony.B. Communities of people enjoy the great views.C. Speaking another language is reallynecessary.D. Learning a second language can be difficult.CMost people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.8. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _______.A. the art began from 1,500B.C.B. the works of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are right-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed9. What is the left hand for most people used to do?A. It’s used to find or hold things.B. It’s used to work with things.C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.10. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.11. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Scientists’ New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which HandD. Different Brains, Different HandsDThose who are concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy—for now. Though the androids have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks, they are not ready for the greatest time. At least that appears to be the case atJapan’s Henn-na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff are being replaced by humans.The first location of the unique hotel opened in July 2015 was atNagasaki’s Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park. The hotel’s owner, Hideo Sawada, promised the hotel to be managed primarily by robots. Guests were greeted and checked-in by a dinosaur robot, while a cute android called Churi, placed inside each room, provided information about attractions. Not surprisingly, the lodging, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, drew in curious visitors from all around the world.But as the years have passed, the hotel’s main draw is becoming less novel and more unsatisfactory. Also as the robots are “aging”, they are costing more to repair. Among the 283 androids being replaced are the chain’s two dinosaur receptionists. In addition to scaring young guests, they are also unable to photocopy guests’ passports, forcing human employees to step in each time. Also out are the cute Churi robots, which annoyed guests by interrupting their conversations. For example, one guest told The Wall Street Journal that Churi mistook hissnoring for a command and kept asking him to repeat his request all night.Sawada told The Wall Street Journal, “When you actually use robots you realize there are places where they aren’t needed—or just annoy people.” While Sawada may be cutting back on his use of androids, the recently-opened Smart LYZ Hotel and the Fly Zoo Hotel inChina, are run entirely by robots, with not a human in sight. Whether the employees have more competence than those “hired” by the Henn-na Hotel chain remains to be seen.12. What makesJapan’s Henn-na Hotel unique?A. Its robot employees.B. Its advanced equipment.C. Its convenient location.D. Its successful management.13. What is the author’s purpose with the example in paragraph 3?A. To entertain readers.B. To prove Churi’s drawback.C. To introduce Churi’s functions.D. To persuade people not to book the hotel.14. What does the owner ofJapan’s Henn-na Hotel think of his robot staff now?A. Attractive.B. Costly.C. Pioneering.D. Disappointing.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Robots Are Taking Over the World.B. The Boom of Robots-staffed Hotel.C. Robot Staff Are Fired For No Competence.D. The First Robots-staffed Hotel Won Guinness World Record.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。

2020年山东省潍坊第一中学高三英语二模试卷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A“Why do I feel cold when I have a fever?” “Why does the sun rise in the east?” I knew the day would come when my little girl Sophie would learn to talk and inevitably (不可避免地) start askingthose questions. The questions themselves weren’t worrying me. I was actually looking forward to seeing where her curiosity would lie.What was bothering (烦恼) me was whether or not I would know the answers. In the age of the smartphone, this may seem like a silly worry. The answers to almost everything would be just one Google away.Still, I struggled with how I was going to prepare to become an all-knowing mother. Then one day, it struck me: I didn’t need to have all the answers. What a great example I could set if I let my daughter know that I, too, was still learning. And I realized how much more I could learn if I took another look at things I thought I already knew the answer to with the curiosity of a child. My little girl’s mind is a beginner’s mind--- curious, open to new ideas, eager to learn, and not based on knowledge that already exists. I decided that I would deal with her questions with a beginner’s mind, too.Once I decided to become more curious, I started noticing that curiosity was becoming more important in the workplace, too. It seems that leaders don't need to have all the answers, but they do need to be curious.Curious about curiosity, I searched for answers and found Albert Einstein’s famous words, “I have no special talent. I am only passionately (热情地) curious.” We mightquibble overthe view that Einstein had no special talent, but there is one thing for certain---he wouldn't have solved the puzzles of the universe without his passionate curiosity. Then I came across another Einstein quote, “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason or existence.”1. The advantage of having a beginner’s mind is that ________.A. people can learn much faster.B. people won't be afraid to make mistakes.C. people are willing to receive new things.D. people won't be expected to answer all questions.2. What does the example of Einstein’s words show?A. Einstein was passionate about curiosity.B. Einstein’s quotes are very famous.C. Curiosity is of great significance.D. Curiosity is more necessary than talent.3. What does the underlined phrase “quibble over” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Fight against.B. Argue about.C. Work out.D. Agree withBSummer heat can be dangerous, and heat leads to tragedy far toooften. According to kidsandcars, org, an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US, when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.For Bishop Curry, a fifth grader from Mckinney, Texas, one such incident hit close to home. A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car. After hearing about her death, Curry decided that something needed to be done. Young Curry, who turned 11 this year, has always had a knack for inventing things, and he drew up a sketch (草图) of a device he called “Oasis.”The device would attach to carseats and watch the temperature inside the car. If it reached a certain temperature in the car, and the device sensed a child in the carseat, it would begin to circulate cool air. Curry alsodesigns the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology, which would alarm the child’s parents and, if there was no response from them, the police.Curry’s father believes that the invention has potential. “The cool thing about Bishop’s thinking is none of this technology is new,” he said. “We feel like the way he’s thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster.” His father even introduced the device to Toyota, where he works as an engineer. The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.In January, Curry’s father launched a campaign for the invention. They hope to raise money to finalize the patent, build models, and find a manufacturer. Their goal was $20,000, but so many people believed in Oasis’ potential that they have raised more than twice that — over $46,000.Curry’s father remembers the first time he saw his son’s sketch. “I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution,” he said. “We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions.”4. What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?A. His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car.B. His knowledge of many children’s death because of car heat.C. The death of his neighbor’s baby after being left in a hot car.D. The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident.5. What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child?A. It would inform the parents or even the police.B. It would pump out the hot air in the car.C. It would sound the alarm attached to the car.D. It would get the window open to save the child.6. What does Curry’s father think is cool about Curry’s invention?A. It used some of the most advanced technology.B. It simply combined technologies that existed.C. It could accelerate production of new technology.D. It is the most advanced among similar products.7. Why did Curry’s father start a campaign to raise money?A. To conduct experiments to test the invention.B. To get other children devoted to inventions.C. To support a charity of medical aid for children.D. To get the patent and bring it to production.CInAsia, there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar structure (结构), they are widely different in size and shape. Kite-fighting competitions are also held, in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’ (对手) kites or cut their strings (线).For more than 15 years, the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite-flying classes for the children on an island inHawaii. In its kite-making lessons, students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes! Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite. Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980. Their kites are made of nylon (尼龙). Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne. The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite. The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern. The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite. Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in. Then the controls are given to the students.Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites. Even the simplest structure can work, and can give hours of fun. Go on, give it a try!8. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. A hot knife is used to iron the nylon.B. Children never fly kites on their own in flying lessons.C. Kite strings must not be cut in kite-fighting competitions.D. Daphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory.9. What is different about the kite used for flying lessons?A. It has two strings.B. It is simple in design.C. It has a rainbow pattern.D. It is shaped like a diamond.10. According to Jonathan,what do you need to have fun with kites?A. A large kite.B. Any type of kite.C. A complex structure.D. A kite that impresses others.11. What is mainly described in the text?A. A kite factory.B. Kite-flying lessons.C. Special competitions.D. The kite-making process.DMost animals living in crowded conditions have particularly strong immune systems, so it long puzzled researchers that honeybees do not.Part of the answer, discovered in 2015, is that queen bees vaccinate their eggs by moving parts of proteins from disease-causing pathogens to them before they are laid. These act as antigens totriggerthe development of a protective immune response in the developing young. But that observation raises the question of how the queen receives her antigen supply in the first place? Dr. Harwood wondered if the nurse bees were taking in parts of pathogens and passing them to royal jelly they were producing while eating the food brought to the hive.To test this idea, he teamed up with a group at theUniversityofHelsinki, inFinland, led by Dr Heli Salmela. Together, they collected about 150 nurse bees and divided them among six queenless mini hives equipped with baby bees to look after. Instead of honey, they fed the nurses on sugar water, and for three of the hives they added P. larvae, a bacterium causing a hive-killing disease, to the sugar water.In this case, to stop such an infection happening, Dr Harwood and Dr Salmela heat-treated the pathogens and so killed them in advance. They also labelled the dead bacteria with a fluorescent dye, to track them easily. And,sure enough, it was confirmed that parts of P. larvae were getting into royal jelly released by those bees which had been fed with the sugar water containing that.All told, these findings suggest that nurse bees are indeed, through their royal jelly, passing antigens onto the queen for vaccinating her eggs. They also mean the nurses are vaccinating baby bees as well, because baby bees, too, receive royal jelly for the first few days after they come out.12. What does the underlined word “trigger" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Cut out.B. Set off.C. Slow down.D. Put off.13. Which is the main experimental subject in Paragraph 3?A. Queen bees.B. Nurse bees.C. Bee eggs.D. Baby bees.14. Why was P. larvae added to the sugar water?A. To test if it would cause a hive-killing disease.B. To check how the bacterium would affect the hive.C. To see whether the target bees would favor the taste.D. To confirm the bees would pass pathogens to royal jelly.15. What is the text mainly about?A. How bees multiply.B. How antigens function.C. How bees get vaccinated.D. How immune system works.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。

I wasn’t looking forward to it.I soon discovered, however, that living in a house without Wi-Fi was easier than I expected.Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the odd text message here and there. I couldn’t enjoy my usual web browsing on BBC iPlayer, social media sites, keeping up to date with the news, or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.I didn’t, however, spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi-Fi network. It was only a five minute walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my own leisure. It made me think , though , how unnecessary it can be , how unnecessarily we rely on it—how we perhaps rely on it too much. As a person, I was more sociable. I spent more time with my housemates instead of hiding behind a computer screen. I did other things that I wouldn’t necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure. I read more, I cooked meals for my friends, and I even tidied up more often. Dare I say it; Ilearned how to live without Wi-Fi. Dare I say it; I found it was easier than I had imagined.4.

How to use the InternetCHundreds of millions of people watched on television on July 20, 1969, when American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to land on the moon. Back then, businesses sold many products connected to the event and many such products are now on sales again — in celebration of the moon landing’s 50th anniversary.A limited number of Omega’s gold Speedmaster watches — the same kind that Buzz Aldrin wore on the moon — will be sold at $34,600. Omega Speedmaster watches have been an important part of space travel since NASA chose them for its moon landing in 1965. Other watches had failed required tests. Omega gave its gold Speedmasters to the astronauts at a dinner in 1969 before the landing. Another less costly type of silver Speedmasters will be sold at $ 9,650. It carries a picture of Aldrin stepping down from the moon lander.Something for children-as well as adults — is the NASA Apollo 11 moon lander set. Made by Lego, it is a group of small pieces to put together to make a model of the moon lander.Other things for sale include the anti-gravity Fisher Space Pens,developed just for the Apollo 11 mission. They work even when writing upside down. Now Fisher Space Pen Company has a limited-edition pen for sale at anout-of this-worldprice: $700, with real material from the Apollo 11 spacecraft.Back in 1969, companies were quick to show their Apollo 11 connections with media and advertisements. The food company Stouffer’s made sure consumers knew it provided food for Apollo 11 astronauts once theyreturned to Earth. It started the ad campaign “Everybody who’s been to the moon is eating Stouffer’s”. Fifty years later, the company is celebrating with a media campaign to share some recipes from 1969.Marketing experts David Meerman Scott says, “Since 1972,we’ve gone around and around the earth many times, and it is not interesting to people any more. I’m not sure whether they can accept such crazy prices. Now NASA has had plans to go to Mars in the 2030s and marketing efforts for a NASA Mars mission should be in development.”8. What can we learn about the gold Speedmaster watch?A. It will be sold at $34,600.B. NASA bought itats9,650.C. It has Aldrin’s picture inside.D. It was chosen by NASA in 1969.9. What does the underlined word “out-of-this-world” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Extremely fair.B. Surprisingly high.C. Really low.D. Truly worthwhile.10. What does David Meerman Scott mean?A. It is a waste of money to go around and around the moon.B. People will be interested in the products connected to Apollo.C. Since 1972,governments have lost interest in moon explorations.D. The event of going to Mars will be another good chance to advertise.11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A. To show how to design the best advertisement.B. To forecast the sales of the products in the text.C. To introduce some of the products connected to Apollo 11.D. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.DA 25-year-old American with a university degree can expect to livea decade longer than a peer who dropped out of high school. Although researchers have long known that the rich live longer than the poor, this education gap is less well documented. And although the average American’s expected span(预期寿命) has been smooth in recent year—and, shockingly, even fell between 2015 and 2017—that of the one-third with a bachelor’s degree has continued to lengthen.This gap in life expectancy is growing, according to new research published in the report of the National Academy of Sciences. Anne Case and Angus Deation ofPrincetonUniversityfound that the lifespans of those withand without a bachelor’s degree started to become different in the 1990s and 2000s. This gap grew even wider in the 2010s.What is the link between schooling and longevity(长寿)? Some argue that better-educated people develop healthier lifestyles: each additional year of study reduces the chances of being a smoker and of being overweight. The better-educated earn more, which in turn is associated with greaterhealth.Ms Case and Mr Deaton argue that changes in labor markets, including the rise of automation and increased demand for highly-educated workers, coupled with the rising costs of employer-provided health care, have decreased the supply of well-paid jobs for those without a degree. This may be contributing to higher rates of alcohol and drug use, suicide and other “deaths of despair”.The authors argued that the educational gap in mortality(致死率) will widenin the wake ofthe covid-19 pandemic. ForAmerica’s overall life expectancy to start climbing again, improvements will be needed across all social groups, not just among the privileged few.12. When did the lifespans of people with and without a degree vary greatly?A. In the 1990s.B. In the 2020sC. In the 2000sD. In the 2010s13. According to the article, changes in labor markets reduce jobs for those without a degree. Which change is NOT included?A. The rising spending of employer-provided health care.B. The gap in life expectancy.C. Raised request for better-educated workers.D. The development of automation.14. What does the underlined phrase “in the wake of” probably mean ?A. afterB. untilC. beforeD. while15. What is the best title for the text?A. Changes in labor market.B. Quit bad habits by Further studyC. Educated Americans live longer.D. Highly-educated people develop healthier lifestyles.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。

ASummer vacation is the perfect time to catch up on all that reading you couldn't do during the busy school year.Here are some of the best YA books to read this summer.◆Skyward by Brandon SandersonMore than anything,Spensa wants to become a pilot and defend her planet against the frequent attacks from alien starfighters.When she discovers the wreckage（残骸）of an old battleship,she realizes that her dreams might be within reach.◆Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen M.McManusPut on your crime-solving cap and get swept away in this thrilling novel about a girl,a boy,and a string of unsolved murders.As threats and clues pile up,you'll be burning the midnight oil trying to finish the book before dawn.◆Bridge of Clay by Markus ZusakThe five Dunbar brothers haven't seen their father in eight years.When he reappears and asks for help building a bridge,only the middle brother,Clay,agrees to go with him.Unforgettable and touching,it is a must-read story.♦If I'm Being Honest by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-BrokaIn an effort to win her boyfriend back,Cameron decides to become a nicer person and make up for people she's hurt.Loosely based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew,this is a delightfully sweet and positive tale of self-discovery,and true love.1.Who may be interested in Skyward?A.Pilots on battleships.B.Fans of outer space.C.Peace keepers.D.Planet defenders.2.Which book is probably a detective story?A.SkywardB.Two Can Keep a SecretC.Bridge of ClayD.If I'm Being Honest3.What is special about If I'm Being Honest?A.It is a work of joint authors.B.It is one of Shakespeare's plays.C.It mainly talks about being honest.D.It appeals to readers feeling hopeless.BI work at a grocery store in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood,which gets a lot of regulars.On March 12,the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic（流行病）of coronavirus.The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen.The six cash registers had to be kept open from10 a.m.until close.It was nuts.I didn't have time to eat lunch,and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom,we9d have to bring in a coworker off the floor to cover for us.Since then,the atmosphere in the store has been different.Customers are mostly considerate,but whenever someone coughs or sneezes,everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow.I've even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups.One guy even came in with a plastic Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head,with a slit cut out for his eyes.A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic.Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work,but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage.I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I'm working the same hours.There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos.I've overheard peopletalking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work.I know everyone is worried,but it's useless having the same scary conversations day after day.Instead,tell us a funny anecdote,or about something nice.We'll appreciate the distraction,and you'll make our day just a bit brighter.4.What does the author intend to show by"It was nuts."in paragraph2?A.The goods were in short supply.B.The store was having a big sale.C.The cashiers complained about their work.D.The locals rushed to do shopping like crazy.5.What does paragraph3convey about customers?A.They like to shop here in disguise.B.They are panicky about the disease.C.They are more friendly to each other.D.They have taken proper preventive measures.6.Which of the following best describes the author?A.Optimistic.B.Talented.C.Ambitious.D.Efficient.7.What is the best title for the text?A.It is not work but worry that killsB.Helping others is helping ourselvesC.Moments of kindness shine in a time of chaosD.Here is what it's like working in the pandemicCBlue whales,the earth's largest animals,call to others of their kind,though exactly what these cries communicate remains a mystery.But these sounds have begun evolving（演变）.Since at least the 1960s,the pitch（音调）of Antarctic blue whales has downshifted.Scientists have theories as to why:all involving humans.The deepening of their sounds is not unique.Many blue whales around the world have also dropped their pitch.In a study last year that analyzed more than1million individual recordings of whale calls,scale shifts were found across species,and among populations that don't necessarily interact with one another.This is to say,whatever has caused the change doesn't seem to have a specific geographic origin.The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea industries might seem a likely criminal. However,scientists have identified lowered pitches even across populations of whales that live in seas without major shipping routes.One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts.As their populations have grown,then,the whales may have decreased their volume because they are more likely to be communicating over short distances.Last year's study of whale calls also suggests a threatening reason for the drop in pitch,however. Perhaps whales don't need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceansmade acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,meanwhile,may also indirectly influence whale voices in other ways.Recent study shows that,during the summer,the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice—a natural sound increased by unnatural processes,as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt.So the impacts of a warming planet may modulate animal sounds even in remote places.8.To what extent is whales'pitch drop?A.Across the species.B.In the Antarctic ocean.C.Among some populations.D.Within one million individuals.9.What causes the evolving of whales'pitch according to the text?A.Less communication and more threat.B.Protection efforts and acidic sea water.C.Sharp decrease of whales'populations；D.Underwater noises by ships and industries.10.What does the underlined word"modulate"mean in the last paragraph?A.Produce.B.Damage.C.Balance.D.Change.11.What can we infer from the text?A.Man is the soul of nature.B.Man and nature are in one.C.Nature pardons no mistakes.D.Nature has the final say over man.DThose driving forward the movement of paying college athletes are forgetting the reason one goes to college:to get an education.In an era struggling for competitive balance,how would the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)keep from giving schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive advantage than schools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf Coast?The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided.Even worse,imagine athletes just coming to college for the money.We call college athletes amateurs. Oxford's definition of amateur is"a person who engages in a pursuit,especially a sport,on an unpaid basis." The keyword is unpaid.The history of the word"amateur"dates back to the French word"amator”,which means lover.Essentially,college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game,not the money that would be given to them.Rules should not be made for the minority,and in this instance only two percent of athletes play professional sports.The expected career span of that two percent is10years,three and a half years in the National Football League(NFL).An astonishing80percent of retired NFL players go broke within three years of retirement,60percent in the NBA within five years.This is why the NCAA and its member institutions should apply a"stay and learn”,rule.This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college,they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose.That money from going professional is going to run out sometime,but the degree will always be there.Look at college athletics for what it is and should always be,a high-pressure learning environment and an avenue to earn an education.A much more fun extension of the classroom if you will.After all,they are called student-athletes.12.How can the salary difference influence college teams?A.It is likely to promote cooperation.B.It can increase their independence.C.It can lead to more communication.D.It will probably cause more imbalance.13.Why does the author give explanations to the word"amateur”?A.To give an individual comment.B.To confirm the origin of the word.C.To make the point more authoritative.D.To provide an example for the argument.14.How will college athletes benefit from the"stay and learn,,rule?A.Increase their earnings.B.Get trained for scholarships.C.Ensure themselves to get a degree.D.Continue their professional careers.15.What does the author mainly argue about in the text?A.For money or for career?B.A college education or not?C.Going professional or being amateur?D.To pay or not to pay college athletes?第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Sure, it is nice to have the additional help with chores(家庭杂务),but it also fosters so much growth, sending our kids down a good path towards who they will someday become. It is possible that our children will grow up to lead lives that do not include farming. 31．Through caring for farm animals, kids learn that in life others often come before self.32．It doesn't matter if we don't feel like it or if we are sick and tired. What matters is that we take care of the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner.33．If the work on a farm does not get done, the operation fails. It takes discipline and commitment to get down to business every day, and seeing this in action will give kids a good work attitude. They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy and that they have to work to survive. 34．Functioning as part of a productive team will surely be playing a crucial role sooner or later in all walks of life.Additionally, fanning teaches patience. 35．Cattle will be difficult to control. Horses will run away when you try to catch them. Goats will kick over that bucket of hard-earned milk. A rooster will decide you got too close to his hens and give you a run for your money. In spite of all that, kids will learn to be patient and take things easy.There may not be any instant reward, but in the long-term kids will see the benefit of all their efforts during those hard days. A．At the same time, they learn to work with others.B．Farm life also teaches kids the value of hard work.C．Children learn to be grateful for animals for eating purpose.D．Teamwork is no longer an important skill to develop and use.E.There are going to be a lot of days when things do not go your way.F.However, what they learn on a farm can also be instrumental in their future lives.G.Animals need to be fed, watered, and cared for before we get to sit down and relax.四、用单词的适当形式完成短文Chris Waba, a sixth grade math teacher in South Dakota, is getting praise in his own way. He went to help astudent36．(lock) down at home with her homework after schools switched 37．virtual learning because of the coronavirus pandemic.After receiving a message from Rylee Anderson, 12, 38．she was struggling with a math problem, Waba grabbed a whiteboard and hurried to her front door."We had really tried to work through it 39．(digital), but you can just tell when you need to do something else.

ASummer vacation is the perfect time to catch up on all that reading you couldn't do during the busy school year.Here are some of the best YA books to read this summer.◆Skyward by Brandon SandersonMore than anything,Spensa wants to become a pilot and defend her planet against the frequent attacks from alien starfighters.When she discovers the wreckage（残骸）of an old battleship,she realizes that her dreams might be within reach.◆Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen M.McManusPut on your crime-solving cap and get swept away in this thrilling novel about a girl,a boy,and a string of unsolvedmurders.As threats and clues pile up,you'll be burning the midnight oil trying to finish the book before dawn.◆Bridge of Clay by Markus ZusakThe five Dunbar brothers haven't seen their father in eight years.When he reappears and asks for help building a bridge,only the middle brother,Clay,agrees to go with him.Unforgettable and touching,it is amust-read story.If I'm Being Honest by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-BrokaIn an effort to win her boyfriend back,Cameron decides to become a nicer person and make up for people she's hurt.Loosely based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew,this is a delightfully sweet and positive tale of self-discovery,and true love.1.Who may be interested in Skyward?A.Pilots on battleships.B.Fans of outer space.C.Peace keepers.D.Planet defenders.2.Which book is probably a detective story?A.SkywardB.Two Can Keep a SecretC.Bridge of ClayD.If I'm Being Honest3.What is special about If I'm Being Honest?A.It is a work of joint authors.B.It is one of Shakespeare's plays.C.It mainly talks about being honest.D.It appeals to readers feeling hopeless.BI work at a grocery store in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood,which gets a lot of regulars.On March 12,the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic（流行病）of coronavirus.The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen.The six cash registers had to be kept open from10 a.m.until close.It was nuts.I didn't have time to eat lunch,and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom,we9d have to bring in a coworker off the floor to cover for us.Since then,the atmosphere in the store has been different.Customers are mostly considerate,but whenever someone coughs or sneezes,everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow.I've even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups.One guy even came in with a plastic Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head,with a slit cut out for his eyes.A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic.Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work,but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage.I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I'm working the same hours.There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos.I've overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work.I know everyone is worried,but it's useless having the same scary conversations day after day.Instead,tell us a funny anecdote,or about something nice.We'll appreciate the distraction,and you'll make our day justa bit brighter.4.What does the author intend to show by"It was nuts."in paragraph2?A.The goods were in short supply.B.The store was having a big sale.C.The cashiers complained about their work.D.The locals rushed to do shopping like crazy.5.What does paragraph3convey about customers?A.They like to shop here in disguise.B.They are panicky about the disease.C.They are more friendly to each other.D.They have taken proper preventive measures.6.Which of the following best describes the author?A.Optimistic.B.Talented.C.Ambitious.D.Efficient.7.What is the best title for the text?A.It is not work but worry that killsB.Helping others is helping ourselvesC.Moments of kindness shine in a time of chaosD.Here is what it's like working in the pandemicCBlue whales,the earth's largest animals,call to others of their kind,though exactly what these cries communicate remains a mystery.But these sounds have begun evolving（演变）.Since at least the 1960s,the pitch（音调）of Antarctic blue whales has downshifted.Scientists have theories as to why:all involving humans.The deepening of their sounds is not unique.Many bluewhales around the world have also dropped their pitch.In a study last year that analyzed more than1million individual recordings of whale calls,scale shifts were found across species,and among populations that don't necessarily interact with one another.This is to say,whatever has caused the change doesn't seem to have a specific geographic origin.The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea industries might seem a likely criminal. However,scientists have identified lowered pitches even across populations of whales that live in seas without major shipping routes.One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts.As their populations have grown,then,the whales may have decreased their volume because they are more likely to be communicating over short distances.Last year's study of whale calls also suggests a threatening reason for the drop in pitch,however. Perhaps whales don't need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceans made acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,meanwhile,may also indirectly influence whale voices in other ways.Recent study shows that,during the summer,the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice—a natural sound increased by unnatural processes,as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt.So the impacts of a warming planet may modulate animal sounds even in remote places.8.To what extent is whales'pitch drop?A.Across the species.B.In the Antarctic ocean.C.Among some populations.D.Within one million individuals.9.What causes the evolving of whales'pitch according to the text?A.Less communication and more threat.B.Protection efforts and acidic sea water.C.Sharp decrease of whales'populations；D.Underwater noises by ships and industries.10.What does the underlined word"modulate"mean in the last paragraph?A.Produce.B.Damage.C.Balance.D.Change.11.What can we infer from the text?A.Man is the soul of nature.B.Man and nature are in one.C.Nature pardons no mistakes.D.Nature has the final say over man.DThose driving forward the movement of paying college athletes are forgetting the reason one goes to college:to get an education.In an era struggling for competitive balance,how would the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)keep from giving schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive advantage than schools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf Coast?The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided.Even worse,imagine athletes just coming to college for the money.We call college athletes amateurs. Oxford's definition ofamateur is"a person who engages in a pursuit,especially a sport,on an unpaid basis." The keyword is unpaid.The history of the word"amateur"dates back to the French word"amator”,which means lover.Essentially,college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game,not the money that would be given to them.Rules should not be made for the minority,and in this instance only two percent of athletes play professional sports.The expected career span of that two percent is10years,three and a half years in the National Football League(NFL).An astonishing80percent of retired NFL players go broke within three years of retirement,60percent in the NBA within five years.This is why the NCAA and its member institutions should apply a"stay and learn”,rule.This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college,they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose.That money from going professional is going to run out sometime,but the degree will always be there.Look at college athletics for what it is and should always be,a high-pressure learning environment and an avenue to earn an education.A much more fun extension of the classroom if you will.After all,they are called student-athletes.12.How can the salary difference influence college teams?A.It is likely to promote cooperation.B.It can increase their independence.C.It can lead to more communication.D.It will probably cause more imbalance.13.Why does the author give explanations to theword"amateur”?A.To give an individual comment.B.To confirm the origin of the word.C.To make the point more authoritative.D.To provide an example for the argument.14.How will college athletes benefit from the"stay and learn,,rule?A.Increase their earnings.B.Get trained for scholarships.C.Ensure themselves to get a degree.D.Continue their professional careers.15.What does the author mainly argue about in the text?A.For money or for career?B.A college education or not?C.Going professional or being amateur?D.To pay or not to pay college athletes?第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
