2020届黑龙江省实验中学高三英语二模试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ANo one knows when the first printing press was invented or who invented it. but the oldest known printed text originated in China during the first millennium (千年) AD.The Diamond Sutra (《金刚经》), a Buddhist book from Dunhuang, China during the Tang Dynasty, is said to be the oldest known printed book.The Diamond Sutrawas created with a method known as block printing (雕版印刷), which used boards of hand-carved wood blocks in reverse.It was said that the moveable type was developed by Bi Sheng. He was fromYingshan,Hubei,China, living from 970 to 1051 AD. His method replaced panels of printing blocks with moveable individual Chinese characters that could be reused. The first moveable Chinese Characters were carved into clay and baked into hard blocks that were then arranged onto an iron frame that was pressed against an iron plate.The earliest mention of Bi Sheng’s printing press is in the bookDream Pool Essays, written in 1086 by Shen Kuo, who noted that his nephews came into possession of Bi Sheng’s typefaces (字体) after his death. Shen Kuo explained that Bi Sheng did not use wood because the texture is inconsistent (不一致的) and absorbs wetness too easily.By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, which ruled from 1127 to 1279 AD, books had become popular in society and helped create a scholarly class of citizens who had the capabilities to become civil servants. Large printed book collections also became a status symbol for the wealthy class.1. When was Bi Sheng’s printing press first introduced in history?A. After Bi Sheng died and his nephews owned his typefaces.B. When books became popular in the Southern Song Dynasty.C. After the block printing was replaced by the moveable type printing.D. WhenThe Diamond Sutrawas printed into a book.2. What can we infer from the passage?A. Shen Kuo made great contributions to printing.B. The moveable type printing was invented earlier than block printing.C. Printed books were hard to get in the Song Dynasty.D. By the Southern Song Dynasty, books had helped people get to higher social positions.3. Why does the author write this passage?A. To show that Buddhism was popular in the Tang Dynasty.B. To introduce the early history of printing.C. To memorize Bi Sheng, developing the moveable type printing.D. To indicate the advantages of moveable type printing.BThe early life of the green sea turtle (海龟) is full of danger. Only one in 1,000 baby sea turtles survive to adulthood (成年). From its home in the sand, it breaks its egg with an egg tooth. Its mother is not there to help it. Instead, it is greeted by crabs, coyotes,and dogs waiting to eat it for dinner. To survive, the baby turtle must hide in the sand until night. Then, it moves slowly to the sea.The small turtle must swim hard to reach the ocean waters. In the sea, it tries hard to find food. It must also keep itself from being food for fish.As dangerous as the sea turtle’s life is in the natural world, its most dangerous enemies are humans. The rubbish left by humans in the ocean causes problems for the small green sea turtle. A little turtle might eat a piece ofplastic (塑料) in the sea. It might also eat oil on the ocean’s surface. Young turtles also get caught in fishing nets. There are laws against hunting sea turtles. Still, many are hunted, both for their meat and for their shells (壳). All of these dangers must be prevented.Sea turtles that do survive to grow into adulthood go through many changes. For example, adult green sea turtles weigh about 500 pounds. They stop eating jellyfish and other meat and eat only plants. And they may plan a trip to go back home again. A mother sea turtle goes back to the beach where she was born. This is the only place where she will lay eggs. Even if it has been forty years since she was a baby, she always knows her way back home.4. Why do baby turtles move to the sea at night?A. They dislike sunshine.B. They prefer lower temperatures.C. They can find food easily then.D. They need to avoid enemies.5. What does the author think of the young turtles in Paragraph 3?A. Pitiful.B. Careless.C. Interesting.D. Courageous.6. What can we learn about sea turtles?A. They mainly feed on fish and meat.B. They always produce eggs at their birthplaces.C. They can live for around forty years.D. They visit their beach homes several times a year.7. What is the text mainly about?A. The homes of green sea turtles.B. How sea turtles find their food.C. The dangers faced by sea turtles.D. How young turtles become adults.CThere are many useful things we can do each day to feel better. It may take some efforts and time to make a habit of drinking 8 glasses of water daily or thinking more positively, but it is well worth it. What things do you do every day to feel better?Probably the healthiest thing you can do to feel better each day is to exercise early in the morning. You don't have to run the whole morning or spend a few hours in the gym. Even doing some easy exercise like walking, sit-ups or jumping the rope will help you feel better in no time!Again, due to our busy schedules, we don't get enough sleep each night. If you have trouble falling asleep, avoid watching TV or surfing the Internet right before bed. Also, try to make healthy bedtime snack choices and don't drink tea or coffee too late in the day.If you drink 3 glasses of water, 4 glasses of coffee or tea and a glass of soda each day and think that you drink enough water, think again. Your body needs water (not coffee or soda!) to function properly. Aiming to drink 7-8 glasses of water each day can make you feel better.Being positive is the key to a longer life. Positive thoughts can help improve your overall heath. Life is full of stressful situations and it's hard to stay cheerful when everything goes wrong, but your positive attitude can help you solve any problem and fight any stress faster and easier. Your positive attitude is especially good for your heart health. Smile, stay positive and live a longer life!8. In the author's opinion which can benefit us most in order that we feel better?A.

Having a right attitude.D. Staying cheerful.DA world in which extinct creatures could be brought back to life came a step closer yesterday. Australian scientists have managed to extract a gene from a preserved sample of a Tasmanian tiger and make it active. Thebreakthroughhas left them dreaming that one day they will be able to recreate the animal, which died out more than 70 years ago. And if it can be done with the Tasmanian tiger, it may also be possible to resurrect (复活) creatures that have been extinct for far longer.“There used to be a time when extinction meant forever, but no more, ” said Professor Mike Archer. “We are now able to seriously challenge whether those animals that have gone for ever. What has been achieved is a very important step in bringing back those animals that are extinct. And while I think that technically it is still pretty difficult at the moment, we can now see the possibilities. I’m personally convinced that the Tasmanian tiger will be brought back to life in my lifetime.”The breakthrough came after nine years of experiments by scientists at the University of Melbourne, who extracted a gene from one of several tigers preserved in alcohol in a Melbourne museum. They removed the equivalent gene from a mouse embryo implanted the tiger gene and then watched as the mouse continued to grow normally, suggesting the tiger gene had been activated.Team leader Dr. Andrew Pask said it was the first time DNA from an extinct species had been used to “induce(引起) a functional response in another living organism”.However, the animal’s entire gene structure would have to be revived in the same way to even begin the possibility of bringing the Tasmanian tiger back from the dead.Mick Mooney, a wildlife officer ofthe Tasmanian Government, was worried that such developments could encourage people’s indifference to the protection of endangered species.“If people think that we can bring animals back to life after they’ve gone, they will start saying that there is nothing to worry about because we can fix it up later.”12. What does the underlined word “breakthrough” in the l paragraph refer to?A. Scientists have recreated new animals.B. Scientists have resurrected endangered animal.C. It has turned out that some creatures would not go extinct.D. A tiger gene has been extracted successfully and activated.13. Scientists are carrying out the experiments in order to ________.A. bring extinct animals back to lifeB. transplant the genes of tigers into other animalsC. find out what factors lead to the animals’ extinctionD. find a new way to extract animals’ DNA14. Mike Archer thinks that ________.A. scientists now have no technological difficulty reconnecting extinct animalsB. it’ll be a century or so before a Tasmanian tiger walks on the earth againC. humans have come closer in reconnecting extinct animalsD. reconnecting extinct animals is impossible15. We can learn from Mick Mooncy’s words that_________.A. he thought it unnecessary to worry about endangered animalsB. his opinion is in contrast with that of the Tasmanian GovernmentC. he thought people should be encouraged to protect endangered animalsD. he is concerned that bringing extinct animals back to life may have a negative effect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。

She sprang up when she saw me as if to get out of my way. Apologetically she explained that she was a cashier at a nearby store and was on her lunch break, trying to get a few needed items before her time was up.I r eassured her, “I am in no hurry. Go ahead and do what you need to do.” While she searched for a particular brand, she said that sometimes customers were rude to her at the store and she really appreciated my kindness. I told her that I had noticed cashiers being treated rudely by some people.I also explained to her that I was a retired nurse and understood some of what she was saying first hand. Sometimes patients, families, or doctors could be very rude or mean. But I tried to understand why they were feeling that way and let it go. “The world would be a better place if we all acted kindly toward each other. Those who are rude may have bad karma coming after them eventually.” I added.She nodded and was surprised, “So you know about karma?” My reply was simple. “A little bit. Karma is the same thing as doing something bad and it comes back to bite you on the butt.” She paused, looked puzzled, then broke out in a big smile and covered her mouth with her hand, laughing as she walked away.It felt so good that in a brief exchange I showed her there were kind people in the world, which might have helped her regain her faith in humanity.1.How did the lady react when she saw the author in the store?A. She apologized for her rude manners.B. She invited her to have lunch together.C. She stood up trying to make way for her.D. She kept searching for the needed product.2.Which of the following best describes the author?A. Kind and understanding.B. Courageous and warm-hearted.C. Responsible and humorous.D.

AThe Best Books of2020On Monday,the American Library Association announced the top children’s books of 2020.Here are the winners.DevotionAuthor Clare Vanderpool took home the John Newbery Medal for outstanding contribution to children’s literature for Moon over Manifest.The book is about a young girl’s magical adventures in a small Kansas town,in1936.Vanderpool said that she was shocked to learn that she had won.“You grow up reading legendary authors like Madeleine L’Engle,but I never expected to be put in a category with her,”Vanderpool told TFK.“It’s fabulous.”Picture ThisThe picture book A Sick Day for Amos McGee won the Randolph Caldecott Medal.The book was illustrated by Erin E.Stead and written by her husband,Philip C.Stead.It tells the story of an elderly zookeeper and the animals that visit him when he’s not well enough to go to work.“I love drawing animals and I love drawing people and I love drawing the emotional connection between animals and people,”said Stead.More Honored BooksThe Coretta Scott King award,given to an African-American author and illustrator of “outstanding books for children and young adults,”went to Rita Williams-Garcia for One Crazy Summer.Set in1968,the novel follows three sisters from Brooklyn,New York,who visit their mother,a poet who ran away years ago and lives in California.The king prize for best-illustrated work went to Dave the Potter:Artist,Poet,Slave.The book,which was written by Laban Carrick Hill and illustrated by Bryan Collier,tells the story of a skilled potter who engraved his poems on the clay pots and jars that he made.The enslaved potter,known only as Dave,lived in South Carolina in the1800s.1.How did Vanderpool feel when she heard the news that she won the medal?A.Astonished.B.Disappointed.C.Embarrassed.D.Depressed.2.One Crazy Summer is a_________.A.collection of poemsic bookC.fictionD.picture book3.Who illustrated the book Dave the Potter:Artist,Poet,Slave?A.Bryan Collier.B.Erin E.Stead.ban Carrick Hill.D.Madeleine L’Engle.4.What can we infer from the passage?A.The book Moon over Manifest tells a story of a zookeeper and his animals.B.A Sick Day for Amos McGee shows us that animals can interact with humans.C.The book A Sick Day for Amos McGee is written by Erin,a famous woman writer.D.One Crazy Summer is about a mother with her three children having a holiday inCalifornia.BReading minds may not be simple,but it might be possible actually.What if a brain scan could reveal your memories?A team of British scientists recently just did that—they used brain scans to look at spatial(空间的)memory in four people.Spatial memory is the kind of memory you use to remember where you are.You use spatial memory to remember how to get from your house to school.People build spatial memory as they explore a new city or a new building and take in information about their surroundings.The scientists asked each participant to sit down at a computer and wander through3D rooms.These virtual rooms contained images of objects,like clocks and doors,so that the people could know where they were.Each person was encouraged to explore the virtual space.As the people became familiar with these rooms,their brains were taking notes of where things were,and how to get from one point to another.After observing these rooms,the participants were instructed to go to a specific location within the rooms.At this point,the scientists took pictures of the people’s brains using an instrument called FMRI(核磁共振成像).As participants stared at the floor,the scientists took FMRI scans to measure brain activity. They repeated this process many times.After a few repetitions,the scientists recognized the patterns in the participants’brains.By looking at patterns on the brain scans,the scientists were able to read the spatial memory of the test subjects.This experiment shows that it is possible to use FMRI to gather some kinds of memories from people.However,your secret thoughts and personal memories are safe—for now.“It is not the case that we can put someone in a brain scanner and simply read his private thoughts,”said one of the scientists who worked on the project.5.What can we learn about spatial memory from the first paragraph?A.It contributes to exploring a new subject.B.It lets you remember what has been done.C.It helps you memorize places where you are.D.It takes in information about new knowledge.6.Which of the following is the right order of the study?a.The scientists took photos of the brains with the FMRI.b.The scientists read the spatial memory of the participants.c.The participants were asked to explore virtual rooms.d.The scientists repeated the process a few times.A.a,b,c,dB.c,a,d,bC.b,c,d,aD.c,d,a,b7.Why are our secret mind and private memories safe?A.Because FMRIs can’t gather any memory from people.B.Because scientists can’t understand all pictures taken by FMRIs.C.Because FMRIs can’t be completely reliable now.D.Because scientists can’t read people’s thoughts directly.8.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Spatial memory and FMRIs.B.A very important research.C.How scientists can read people’s memories.D.A new kind of camera—FMRIs.CGrasslands need time to rest when cattle and other animals feed on them.Moving animals from one area of pasture(牧场)to another can provide the time needed for new growth.This is called rotational grazing(循环放牧).Rotational grazing is good for the land and the animals,and it can save money.This form of grazing can reduce the need for pesticide(农药)treatments by reducing the growth of weeds. And it can limit the need for chemical fertilizers by letting natural fertilizer,animal droppings, do the job.Rotational grazing can even help prevent wildfires by keeping grasslands in good condition.Letting animals feed continually and intensively(集中地)in the same grazing areas can require costly replanting.Animals eat the most appropriate growth first.When that keeps happening,the roots do not have enough time to recover.As a result,less desirable plants may replace them.Intensively used grasslands are also harmed as the soil is continually crushed under the weight of heavy animals.And the animals usually avoid their own waste,so that reduces the amount of good grazing space even more.While rotational grazing can save money over time,it also requires planning.And that starts with a good map to mark fences,water supplies and grazing areas.Changing methods of grazing also requires time.Farmers may want to put up electric fences to enclose grazing areas,called paddocks.The paddocks will need water.Some farmers design a path for animals from different paddocks to drink from a common watering place. Farmers can start rotational grazing by removing animals from a pasture when the grass iseaten to less than five centimeters.The pasture is then kept empty until the grass grows to more than fifteen centimeters high.Sheep and goats may require special preparations.They may need stronger fences than other animals.And while they eat the grass,they may need guard animals like camels to protect them from animals that would like to eat them.9.If you want to carry out rotational grazing,you must do many things EXCEPT________.A.reducing the amount of the animalsB.making a plan about the electricity and water supplyC.building fencesD.making a design in advance10.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Sheep and goats are fierce and special animals.B.Sheep and goats aren’t suitable for rotational grazing.C.Sheep and goats need more management in rotational grazing.D.Sheep and goats are difficult to raise.11.Which statement of the following is NOT true according to the text?A.The heavy animals can damage the grasslands.B.Rotational grazing can provide the grass enough time to grow again.C.The grass over five centimeters in a pasture can be used to feed animals.D.During rotational grazing,more pesticidal chemicals are needed.12.Which of the following is the best title?A.How to Keep Grasslands in Good ConditionB.Giving Grasslands a RestC.The Hidden Meaning of Rotational GrazingD.The Drawbacks of Rotational GrazingDThe Annual Conference of the FEWThe first annual conference of the FEW,the Forum for World Education,was launched at OECD headquarters in Paris,centered on the theme“The Future of Education:Where Do We Go from Here”.There were over300international business leaders,education policymakers,and renowned scholars from more than10countries and regions participating in the two-day event. They exchanged ambitious and profound ideas about the future of global education.The forum started with keynote speeches by Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands and a Chinese business leader,both of whom shared opinions about the challenges of education in the 21st century.The business leader said that to keep up with today’s ever changing world,it was essential to develop innovation education.“In the current digital era,two things are increasinglyimportant:Not only should we give everyone the chance to receive an education but,first and foremost,it’s about offering students the right type of education and skillset that can prepare them to cope with the challenges that future poses.”He continued by stressing the importance of recognizing school employees including teachers and headmasters.“Education is about the future.We should give teachers the best recognition,and equip headmasters with the proper training and resources to identify and retain the most capable educators.A good teacher can help200students in their lifetime at least.”Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands acknowledged children’s creative ideas and the necessity of including them in the design of the education system.She explained that a good teaching method should not only help kids but also support adults.The forum has caught attention from the education,economy,culture and arts sectors, along with international organizations such as the UNESCO,policymakers,a number of universities,and non-profit organizations from all over the world.Launched in2013,FEW is a non-profit organization based in the U.S.It’s dedicated to promoting the growth of global economy through educational innovation and supporting disadvantaged communities in gaining access and equality.13.What is the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A.People think highly of the FWE.B.People could exchange their ideas about the FWE.C.People pay much attention to the future of education.D.People from around the world attended the annual conference of FWE.14.Who plays a key role in the future of education,according to the business leader?A.Students.cators.C.Business leaders.cation policymakers.15.What did the business leaders and Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands advocate about education?A.Developing creative education.B.Designing an education system.C.Offering students as much education as possible.D.Giving teachers proper resources.16.What do we know about the FWE?A.It is held every other year.B.It attracts global attention.C.It stresses advanced education.D.It aims to gain profits through education.E“Is it art?”Tyka,an artist and software engineer,asked the audience at Christie’s2019Art +Tech Summit in New York in June2019.The event’s theme was“The A.I.Revolution”,and Tyka was referring to artwork created using artificial intelligence.He flashed an image of urinal(小便池)on two large screens at either side of the stage—Marcel Duchamp’s famous and controversial sculpture Fountain.The audience laughed.“Obviously,it can be,”he said.However,many in the art community are wrestling with several unanswered questions after an algorithm-produced(演算法)print that resembled19th century European portraits was sold for$432,500.For example:when artwork is accomplished by means of the algorithm,who is the artist—the programmer or the computer?Because many works of AI art are digital, how do you value a creation that’s designed to live natively on the Internet and be widely shared?There are few clear answers.Claire Marmion,the founder and CEO of Haven Art Group,says collectors are still trying to figure out where the market for AI art is heading,and that it may not be the disruptive(破坏性的)force that some think it will be.Or,at least,the industry will adapt to it.Mario Klingemann,whose work was sold by Sotheby’s,prefers the term“generative art”, which includes all works created using algorithms,and believes the current buzz will eventually die down,otherwise AI art isn’t going anywhere.Instead,he thinks it will one day be viewed as simply another tool of the artist.“Just like photography never goes away,or making movies doesn’t,I’m pretty sure it will establish itself as a new media format,”he says.“Right now,of course,it’s all this mystery about AI,but I expect this to become really just a normal thing,where people will focus on what artists are actually saying with their art.”17.What’s the function of the first paragraph?A.To show what art is.B.To entertain readers.C.To explain the event’s theme.D.To lead to the topic of the passage.18.What makes people in the art industry feel confused?A.Who is the real creator of a piece of AI artwork.B.Where people can by AI artwork.C.How to sell AI artwork at a high price.D.How to share AI artwork.19.Which can best explain the underlined word“buzz”in the fourth paragraph?A.Excitement.B.Objection.C.Revolution.D.Argument.20.What does Klingermann think about AI art?A.Its future is unclear.B.It will disturb the traditional art industry.C.It will be as common as photography and movies.D.It will be applied to photography and film industry.第二节：共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Eye doctors inBristolcared for the 17-year-old after his sight had gone to the point of blindness. Tests showed he had serious vitamin deficiency(缺乏). Dr. Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said, “His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham, and not really any fruit and vegetables.”The teenager saw his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet. Three years later, he was taken to theBristolEyeHospitalbecause of progressive sight loss.He was not overweight or underweight, but he had lost minerals from his bones, which was really quite shocking for a boy of his age. In terms of his sight loss, he met the standards of being blind. “He had blind spots right in the middle of his sight,” said Dr Denize Atan, “That means he can’t drive and would find it reallyarduousto read, watch TV or recognize faces.”Dr Denize Atan said that parents should learn about the harm that can be caused by picky eating, and turn to experts for help. For those who are concerned , she advised, “It’s best not to be anxious about picky eating , and instead calmly introduce one or two new foods with every meal.” She said multivitamin tablets can supplement(补充) a diet, but cannot take the place of eating healthily. “It’s much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet,” she said, adding that too manycertain vitamins , including vitamin A, can be harmful ,“so you don’t want to overdo it.”4.

What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Reasons why the boy is seriously ill.B.Suggestions for the boy’s family to care for him.C. Advice for parents worried about picky eating.D. Waysof taking in enough vitamins and minerals.CAt the foot of the Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang, a homestay (民宿) is attracting travelers from far and wide, which has won architectural (建筑学的) medal at the 2021 German iF Design Awards.The owners of the homestay are a couple in their late 30s who decided to return to their hometown three years ago. Li Xiumei used to be in charge of a division at a company in Hangzhou, and her husband was a sales director. It was an ordinary situation where Li’s husband was on business trips a lot and Li worked overtime on weekends. City life sometimes is not easy.In 2018, they quit jobs and went back to Dongtianmu village, which lies in a forest of bamboo. The first time they drove into the village was one late afternoon. The cooking smoke was rising from the foot of the mountain, which gave them a very different feeling form thecity.The homestay was built beside her husband’s old countryside house. The old house is preserved (保留), while a brand-new building was built on its side and the whole site is made up of for courtyards. It has been updated to have a hall, a tea room, a kitchen, a dining room. Japanese cherry trees are planted in the east courtyard. A swimming pool is placed in the west courtyard, with a bar located on one side.Li and her husband love gardening and music, and their new home gives them enough space to continue their interests and relax in the heart of nature. Li wants to share the quiet country life, so she makes her new home a homestay. In 2019, the homestay became an online hit after guests shared their experiences on social media. “The longer I stay here, the more I feel it was the right choice to come back, and this is more meaningful than making money,” Li says.8. How did Li feel about city life?A. Satisfied.B. Tired.C. Attractive.D. Noisy.9. What impressed the couple when first driving to the village?A. The smoke of cooking.B. The forest of bamboo.C. The smell of the village.D. The feeling of loneliness.10. What can we infer about the homestay from paragraph 4?A. It is ancient and broken.B. It can hold many guests.C. It has been rebuilt bythe couple.D. It must have been carefully designed.11. What’s more meaningful than earning money according to Li?A. Continuing their music dream.B. Staying at the old house.C. Living in the countryside.D. Developing the economy of cities.DConcerns about health, animals and the environment are leading more people to remove meat from their diet. Plant-based meat alternatives (替代品) increasingly appear in supermarkets and restaurants. But what some people call clean meat-meat grown from cells in a laboratory—is still an idea that is just beginning.More than 24 companies are testing lab-grown fish, beef and chicken. These businesses hope to enter the alternative meat market, which could be worth $140 billion by 2029. One of the companies, Shiok Meats, grows its product by taking shrimp cells and keeping them at a fixed temperature. They are then given nutrients in a solution (溶液). The cells become meat in four to six weeks.This lab-grown meat’s price is high. One kilogram of it now costs $5,000, said Shiok Meats’ chief executive Sandhya Sriram. At that cost, a single pork and shrimp dumpling could be as much as $300. Sriram, avegetarian, hopes to cut the cost to $50 for one kilogram by the end of this year. “We are looking at next year, so we might be the first ever company to launch a cell-based meat product in the world,” Sriram said. “Shiok Meats still needs approval from the city’s food regulator, and that matters the most at present.”Although people increasingly demand meat alternatives, cell-based meat companies still faceresistance(抵制) to their products. In Singapore, some people said they would give lab grown meat a second thought. “I may not exactly dare to eat it, but I do find the idea appealing because the animals in the oceans are declining,” said 60-year-old Pet Loh, while sheshopped for shrimps in a Singapore market.Any alternative way of making animal protein without harming the environment is positive, said Paul Teng, a specialist in agriculture technology at Nanyang Technological University. But, he added, more studies are needed to understand any negative result of making cellular protein.12. Why are more people eating less meat?A. Because lab-grown meat has more nutrition.B. Because plant-based food is getting popular.C. Because meat in the market is increasingly expensive.D. Because health and the environment are their concerns.13. What is the most important for Shiok Meats at present according to Sriram?A. Bringing down the price.B. Gaining consumers’ acceptance.C. Obtaining official permission.D. Getting ahead of other companies.14. Which word best describes Pet Loh’s attitude towards lab-grown meat?A. Doubtful.B. Uncaring.C. Negative.D. Positive.15. What is the text mainly about?A. A new way to make a fortune.B. Negative results of lab-grown meat.C. New research findings on healthy diet.D. A meat alternative grown in labs.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。

黑龙江省实验中学2020-2021学年高二英语下学期4月月考试题考试时间：90分钟总分：100分I卷（选择题共60分）一、选择题第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

ALast summer，Uber finally started allowing its customers to tip their drivers. Nothing actually prevented them from tipping before. At the end of the ride a passenger could have pulled out his wallet，fished around for change and handed the driver a few dollars. But it would have seemed foolish to do so，when everything else about the deal was handled through a few taps of the app. The app didn’t enable tipping, so riders didn’t tip.All of this stresses the difficult problem for hotel housekeepers. Increasingly，people book hotel rooms through their computers or phones. They pay，and often pre-pay，with their credit cards. There’s a good chance they don’t even carry cash. And yet to tip the housekeeper—or the bellhop or concierge—there’s no choice but cash.It is probably no coincidence, then, according to the New York Times，that fewer than one in three hotel guests in America now leave tips for the people who clean their rooms. It’s not as if hotel guests can’t afford them.Hotel pay varies widely, but some housekeepers rely on tips for their life. Housekeepers in some cities made as low as $10 an hour last year. After the Marriott chain started leaving envelopes in 160,000 rooms for housekeeper tips，tipping seemed to have increased, according to the Times. But Marriott ended the practice a few weeks later, finding it unpopular with guests, some of whom felt pressured into tipping.A better solution would be to go the Uber route. Upon checkout (or electronic checkout)，guests could be asked if they’d like to tip their housekeeper. This would be similar to what happens at the end of a ride on ride-hailing apps，or on tablet screens in shops.1．Why does the author mention Uber in the first paragraph?A．To introduce the topic. B．To advertise the app.C．To arouse an argument. D．To make a comparison.2．What can we learn from Marriot’s practic e?A．People didn’t tip.B．Some felt forced to pay.C．Room service improved. D．Guests preferred to tip by card.3．What is the text mainly about?A．Nothing stops customers tipping. B．Housekeepers live happily on tips.C．Tipping on apps is the only solution. D．Cash-free deals make it harder to tip.BTaller women may face a higher risk of many cancers than their shorter ones, according to a US study release Thursday.Researchers looked at a sample (样本) of nearly 145,000 women aged 50 to 79 for the analysis published in the US journal Cancer Epidemiology. They found that each additional 10 centimeters of height was linked to a 13 percent higher risk of getting cancer.“Finally, cancer is a result of processes having to do with growth, so it makes sense th at hormones (荷尔蒙) or other growth factors that influence height may also influence cancer risk,” said lead author Geoffrey Kabat, senior epidemiologist (流行病学家) at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York.After 12 years of following women who entered the study without cancer, researchers found links between greater height and higher possibility of developing cancers of the breast, colon (结肠), kidney (肾), thyroid (甲状腺), as well as multiple myeloma (骨髓瘤) and melanoma (黑素瘤).“We were surpri sed at the number of cancer sites that were positively associated with height. In this data set, more cancers are associated with height than were associated with body mass index (BMI体重指数),” added Kabat.Taller women even suffered a higher risk for some cancers, such as a 23 to 29 percent increase in the risk of developing cancers of the kidney rectum, thyroid.None of the 19 cancers studied showed a lower risk with greater height. The study did not establish a certain height level at which cancer risk begins to rise, and Kabat said it is important to remember that the increased risk researchers found was small.“It needs to be kept in mind that factors such as age, smoking, body mass index, and certain other risk factors have considerably larger effects,” he said, “The association of height with a number of cancer sites suggests that exposures in early life, including nutrition, play a role in influencing a person’s risk of cancer.”4．What do you know about the research?A．The participants are of the same age.B．They chose most middle-aged and elderly women.C．They found hormones are sure to cause cancer.D．The participants must be American natives.5．According to Geoffrey Kabat we can know that ________.A．cancer has a bad effect on the physical growthB．obesity is more highly associated with cancerC．no women are aware of their unfavorable heightD．so many kinds of cancer are linked to the height6．What does the last paragraph imply?A．The lifestyle influences a person’s health heavily.B．A poor habit will lead to a sudden growth.C．A person’s life span depends on his height.D．Good nutrition can ensure your good health.7．Which of the following is the title for the passage?A．Cancer is Related to the Factors of growthB．Tall Women May Face Higher Cancer RiskC．Women Are Easily to Be Affected by CancerD．Tall Women are in poorer health than Short OnesCAs the coronavirus spreads, remote work arrangements preserve continuity and allow people to stay busy doing something familiar during a time of crisis. At first glance, telecommuting (远程办公) might not seem so bad.While it works well for some, it doesn’t for everyone. Working remotely has widespread negative consequences, including people spending time working that they might otherwise have spent with family or friends – because they can easily cross their work-life boundaries, they end up working longer hours.People who telecommute may also have trouble freeing themselves from work and from the technology that enables it, which contributes to the harmful consequences of reducing face-to-face time and personal interactions. When humans rely on technology, we may forget how essential theseinteractions are to human happiness.As a university professor, my days consist of social interactions with students and colleagues.I generally find those conversations and the resulting relationships inspiring and rewarding. The coronavirus situation means that countless teachers like me face the possibility of standing in front of a camera instead of a classroom. I’d prefer doing that to canceling class, but I can’t help wondering whether my job, along with so many others, is about to experience a great and potentially permanent change.I wonder how many faculty members might be laid off if the university decides teaching remotely is good enough, or how many people will be let go when their bosses realize they don’t need to show up every day, or even at all. Finally, here’s the most important question: whether people believe their firsthand, lived experiences can be replaced – and not just during a pandemic (大流行病).The coronavirus will accelerate our rush into the arms of technology. Ironically, our faith in technology may end up speeding up our own obsolescence (过时).8．According to the text, what may telecommuting result in?A．Shortened working hours. B．Loss of personal freedom.C．Increased family happiness. D．Fewer personal interactions.9．Which is true about the author?A．She loves teaching in front of a camera.B．She enjoys popularity among her students.C．She considers social interactions to be beneficial.D．She’s concerned about the spread of coronavirus.10．What does the author intend to express in Paragraph 5?A．Anxiety over the future. B．Expectation of education.C．Views on unemployment. D．Love for lived experience.二、选择题第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020届黑龙江省实验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ABob and Sue Harvey spent nine years as resident fellows in a dormitory at Sanford and in their bookVirtual Reality and The College Freshman, they write “The Freshman oftenfaces an identity problem during the first semester.” College is a more pressured environment than it used to be, in part because the academic gap between high school and college has increased. Many college freshmen have never had to make independent decisions about sex, drugs and alcohol. Most don’t know how to manage their time or money. They often feel lonely and overwhelmed, resulting in anxiety and depression.Nancy Corbin, director of clinical service for student-counseling (咨询) services at Iowa State University, says her office is seeing a significant increase in requests for counseling from freshmen who are having trouble making the adjustment to college life. She says older teenagers increasingly lack the skills to deal with personal problems that aren’t easily defined or fixed. And they get homesick but have a hard time admitting it.Parents and high schools can make things easier on freshmen by preparing them differently. For example, by teaching them to budget their hours and dollars. The Harveys think high schools should offer a college-life course. “Parents need to focus more on relationship and personal issues and less on how many sheets and towels to take,” they say. Many homesick freshmen think they’ll be regarded as failures if they come home before Thanksgiving. So parents can help by letting them know they’re welcome to return if they feel the need. In the meantime, parents have to find new ways to keep in touch with their college kids. One of the best ways is e-mail. It’s less unpleasant and less expensive than constant phone calls and is more likely to be answered than a handwritten letter.1. Why is the first semester difficult for freshmen in college?A. Because they often fail in exams.B. Because they lack time and money.C. Because they are too homesick to make new friends.D. Because they have to settle personal issues on their own.2. In the last paragraph, it is suggested that ________.A. parents should stop buying anything for their kidsB. parents should develop a good relationship with their kidsC. parents should be taught how to send e-mails to their kidsD. parents should work with high schools in college-life courses3. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Hard Life of College FreshmenB. Approaches to Trouble in CollegeC. Freshmen’s Adaptation ProblemsD. A Strange Phenomenon in CollegeBA company called Neuralink has shared a video where a monkey is playing a video game. That' s fairly unusual, but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just his mind.The monkey in the video is called Pager who has two of Neuralink's special "Link" devices(装置)inside his brain. The devices planted in Pager's brain are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands.Scientists taught Pager to play a video game. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick it, which is a normal gaming controller. But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.Then they used computers to match the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was the most difficult work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence ( AI) to help them decode(解码)Pager's brain signals.The final step was to have a computer make moves inthe video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an “up” signal to the video game.At first, the researchers let Pager keep moving the joystick with his hand, even though it was no longer connected to the computer. But soon Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.Even though Neuralink's work right now focuses on animals and video games, there's a very serious purpose behind it. Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to make physical movements to interact with the world around them.4. What are “Link” devices used to do?A. To pick up the arms' and hands' signals.B. To link the computer to the monkey's brain.C. To send out information about the brain's signals.D. To control movements of the arms and hands.5. What challenged scientists most in the study?A. Recording and sending out body signals.B. Training Pager to use the joystick correctly.C. Planting "Link" devices into Pager's brain.D. Matching brain signals to body movements.6. What is Neuralink's real purpose of the study?A. To test artificial intelligence.B. To help those without arms or legs.C. To study how animals play video games.D. To develop more complex video games.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Video Games for Animals Are Developed.B. Science Proves the Intelligence of Monkeys.C. Monkey Plays Video Games Using His Mind.D. Neuralink Is Leading the World in Technology.CTaking an afternoon nap could keep your brain sharp, a new study has said. Adults ages 60 and older who took afternoon naps showed signs of better mental ability compared to those who didn’t nap, according to a study published in General Psychiatry earlier this week.Researchers analyzed napping habits in 2, 214 older Chinese people and measured their cognitive abilities using several cognitive tests. Participants took the Mini-Mental State Examination and theBeijingversion of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, both of which test for memory, language and other cognitive abilities. In every category listed in the study, nappers tested statistically higher on average compared to their non-napping counterparts.Researchers did not gather data from people under 60, so a correlation cannot be drawn between napping and younger generations. The study also noted that there are conflicting studies about the benefits and risks of napping.Sleeping behaviors can be affected by a multitude of factors, said Dr. David Neubauer, associate professor atJohnsHopkinsUniversity. “Daily routines, medication use and sleep disorders can all play a role in how frequentlysomeone takes a nap.” he said.Neubauer recommended taking a shorter “power nap” of up to 20 minutes to decrease the chances of transitioning into slow-wave sleep, which makes people feel groggy when they wake up. “Napping can be a healthy part of an older adult’s day”, Neubauer acknowledged, but make sure “sleepiness isn’t due to a treatable nighttime sleep disorder.” Older individuals who want to do all they can to preserve their cognitive functioning should put nighttime sleep first.8. What is the best way to keep a better cognitive ability for the old?A. Take a nap every day.B. Take sleep disorder seriously.C. Have a good sleep at night.D. Do exercise regularly.9. How did the researchers reach the conclusion?A. By taking the examinations and assessment.B. By analyzing napping habits and giving tests.C. By measuring nappers’ ability and analyzing them.D. By doing an experiment.10. Which has NO effect on one’s sleeping behaviors?A. Taking a nap.B. Medicine treatmentC. Sleep problemsD. Everyday activities.11. What can we know about “slow-wave sleep”?A. It appears in short nap up to 20 minutes.B. People should avoid it in their naps.C. It is a healthy part of an elder’s day.D. It was recommended by Neubauer.DDistinguished Baltimore artist John D. Ferguson died Sept 16. The Catonsville resident was 81.“His artist eye was in everything he did. His life was art and his family,” said Jennifer C. Jackson, who was Mr. Ferguson's friend for nearly three decades.” He was a lovable man who was always willing to talk about any topiche was interested in. At shows, people would go crazy for his work,” Ms. Jackson said. “He was also an enthusiastic sailor who loved nothing more than being on the water.” “His sculptures were just memorable,” said Mr. Lund, a Washingtonian. “I used to say, ‘Ferguson, I don't think you know how to do anything that is less than monumental.’”Mr. Ferguson earned a bachelor's degree in 1961 at Holy Cross University, where he developed an interest in painting. He served in the Army for two years until being discharged in 1963, and after studying briefly at the Boston Museum School, registered at the Chicago Art Institute, where he studied until 1966, when he entered the University of Illinois Chicago, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in 1966 in fine arts. Mr. Ferguson developed his interest and skills as a sculptor after moving to Baltimore to do further studies at the Maryland Institute College of Art's Rinehart School of Sculpture, from which he graduated in 1971 with a master's degree in fine arts.“Over the years my work has moved gradually in the direction of elegance and simplicity,” Mr. Ferguson wrote in his artist statement. “Heavy, bulbous forms have been replaced by dancing, winglike forms. The welding process and respect for the qualities of the materials are interrelated and affect the final piece. “Most of the sculptures that are pictured in my works are made from steel, silicon bronze, and to Cor-Ten steel; shaped to create these beautiful and unique pieces of art. As you can see, my sculptures range in size anywhere from 12 inches to 30 feet or larger.”Through the years, his work found its way into such major public and private collections. “They encourage optimism, for they show strength and affirmation; there's nothing negative, depressing or anxiety-ridden about them”, wrote the late art critic John Dorsey in a 1997 exhibition review.12. What did Mr. Lund think of Ferguson?A. Likeable.B. Ordinary.C. Unwelcome.D. Interesting.13. What did Mr. Ferguson do first after serving in the army?A. He studied at the Boston Museum School.B. He got a bachelor's degree in fine arts.C. He entered the University of Illinois Chicago.D. He continued his studies at the Maryland Institute College.14. What influences the final sculptures?A. An even larger scale than before.B. The material comprised of metalsC. The shape of elegance and simplicity.D. Welding process as well as material quality.15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. A stylish, stubborn old manB. Sculptures towering into the cloudsC. JohnD. Ferguson—a famous sculpturer D.
