湖南省部分学校2024-2025学年高三上学期阶段检测联合考试英语试卷一、阅读理解Scratchboard (刮板画) is a technique where the artist scratches away ink to reveal a color underneath, usually white. This scratchboard lesson plan is a great way to teach students the importance of highlights in an artwork. It forces them to think in reverse to pull the image from the surface.Overview and purpose: Students will learn the importance of highlights and lighter values in the creation of artworks. Students will learn the process of scratchboard etching (蚀刻).Materials: 9'' by 12'' scratchboard paper, graphite (石墨), ink, scratchboard tools or razor blades, ballpoint pens (optional).Delivery of info: Students will be presented with a demonstration of scratchboard. It is best to demonstrate this technique through the use of a document camera or with smaller groups of students. Graphite can be used to draw the preliminary drawing on the scratchboard paper. Students will then draw images on the surface and use either etching tools or razor blades to scratch away the lighter values and complete a scratchboard etching.Guided practice: Students will work while the teacher walks around and monitors progress. Students will have 7 days to complete the assignment.Address: The 3rd floor, Municipal Art Museum.1．What is the feature of scratchboard?A．Painting with different pens.B．Drawing on the layer below.C．Scratching the ink on the board’s surface.D．Etching some colorful images on a board.2．What will be used in the presentation of this art?A．A lot of graphite B．A document camera.C．Some etching tools.D．Some ballpoint pens.3．What is the purpose of the text?A．To promote a lesson.B．To sell some artworks.C．To introduce a new art.D．To attract more travelers.Somewhere in California, just up a hill from the beach is a high school, where students will meet before traveling to neighboring San Clemente High School on a Saturday fora 2-mile walk to raise money to build a well in a Kenyan village.Most Kenyans live where clean water is hard to access. The good news is that water that falls in the rainy season is stored far underground, sometimes as deep as 900 feet. But bringing it to the surface can be a challenge. Sometimes, it requires heavy-duty equipment. Shallower wells are less costly but still require manpower and technology to work. A single well can supply water to an entire village, and this can be life-changing.Weeks before the first annual Healing Hands for Water Walk Fundraiser event in 2012, students walked in the beach town and asked for donations from businesses. They covered a lot more distance than the 2 miles they would cover during the event as student organizers Branner Grimsley, Klara Gundelach and Solveig Erngren pounded on the boardwalk. “But it was worth it to make a difference by helping these people in Africa,” Grimsley said.Standing on the boardwalk and looking out over the sand to the horizon and beyond, you can see a lifeline reaching from a few dedicated kids to a similar group of kids in an African village. The connection was hard to imagine at first but now seems so real. Students on both sides of the world walk under the same sun. On other days, they would have different places to go, but today, they walk for the same reason: to share the bond of being one human family.In another Kenyan village, a well was completed. As the villagers excitedly operated the hand pump, the anticipation built. Within minutes, a trickle of clean water flowed, then a gush. It was a miracle in such a dry village. Buckets were filled, and children splashed water. The tears of joy flowed as easily as the well water.4．What can we know about building wells in Kenya from paragraph 2?A．It’s costly and useless.B．It’s easy and interestingC．It’s challenging but cheap D．It’s difficult but worthwhile.5．Why does paragraph 4 mention the connection?A．To praise the event’s participants.B．To show the difficulty of the event.C．To share the bond of the human family.D．To highlight the significance of the event.6．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The excitement of building a well.B．The requirement for completing a well.C．The joyous sight of drawing water from a well.D．The quality of the water from a local village’s well.7．Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A．From the Beach to KenyaB．Students’ Walk on the BeachC．Walking to a Neighboring SchoolD．Kenya’s Struggle for Clean WaterWhen the sun reaches its peak activity, known as solar maximum, its magnetic (磁的) field will reverse (逆转). This happens roughly every l1 years, marking an important stage in the solar cycle. It indicates the halfway point of solar maximum, the height of solar activity, and the beginning of the shift toward solar minimum.The last time the sun’s magnetic field flipped was toward the end of 2013. To understand the magnetic field’s reversal, first, it’s important to be familiar with the solar cycle. This approximately 11-year cycle of solar activity, driven by the sun’s magnetic field, is indicated by the frequency and intensity of sunspots visible on the surface. The height of solar activity during a given solar cycle is known as solar maximum, and current estimates predict it will occur between late 2024 and early 2026.“But there is another important, less-known cycle, the Hale cycle. This magnetic cycle lasts approximately 22 years, through which the sun’s magnetic field reverses and then reverts to its original state,” Ryan French, a solar astrophysicist, said.“During solar minimum, the sun’s magnetic field is close to a dipole (偶极子), with one north pole and one south pole, similar to Earth’s magnetic field. But as we shift toward solar maximum, the sun’s magnetic field becomes more complex, without a clear north-south poleseparation,” French said. By the time solar maximum passes and solar minimum arrives, the sun has returned to a dipole.The upcoming switch in polarity will be from the northern to southern magnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa in the Southern Hemisphere. “This will bring it to a similar magnetic orientation to Earth, which also has its southern-pointing magnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere,” French explained.8．How does the author lead in the topic?A．By citing an instance.B．By showing a difference.C．By giving an interpretation.D．By making a comparison9．What is the relationship between the sun’s magnetic field and the solar cycle?A．Uncertain.B．Close.C．Strange.D．Indifferent. 10．Why did French mention Earth’s magnetic field?A．To make his reasons clear.B．To make his experiments convincing.C．To make his prediction accurate.D．To make his explanation specific.11．What does the underlined word “orientation” in the last paragraph mean?A．Emergency.B．Direction.C．Response.D．Procedure.For the past 20 years, I’ve searched libraries and the Internet for others who are thinking about the possible effect of the breakdown of multigenerational families. I’ve been surprised at how few resources exist on this topic. It’s the main reason I chose to finally write Family Revision.While I’ve expected one of the countless marriage and family writers and thinkers to address this topic, none seem to really understand that the transition (转变) from multigenerational families to nuclear families is at the root of so many of the other symptoms they discuss.Well, the silence on this topic was finally broken and it was not from a traditional family publication but from David Brooks, The New York Times columnist writing for The Atlantic. In an article nearly the length of a dissertation on this subject, Brooks masterfully exposes the rootproblem with the modern family.In the article, Brooks wrote, “When we discuss the problems the country is facing, we don’t talk about family enough. It feels too judgmental, too uncomfortable, and maybe even too religious. But the fact is that the nuclear family has been collapsing in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems — with education, mental health, and the quality of the labor force — stem from that breakdown. We have left behind the family structure of the past. For most people it’s not coming back.”Many Americans are hungering to live in multigenerational families, in the way that is new and ancient at the same time. This is a significant opportunity, a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships, a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and be caught, when they fall, by a dozen pairs of arms. For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables, with fewer and fewer relatives. It’s time for a change.12．Which word can best describe the breakdown of multigenerational families?A．Damaging.B．Extraordinary.C．Meaningful.D．Ineffective. 13．What does the author think of Brooks’ article?A．It’s a tradition.B．It’s a victory.C．It’s a comparison.D．It’s a breakthrough.14．What can be inferred from Brooks’ article?A．Most Americans have health problems.B．America is facing a sea change in society.C．Focusing on family-related issues is urgent.D．People benefit from the present family structure.15．What is the author’s attitude to the structure of multigenerational families?A．Dismissive.B．Approving.C．Unclear.D．Doubtful.The frequency of bathing usually depends on your age. It’s more than likely that older people, babies and young children have dry skin, which can lead to eczema (湿疹). 16 . For most people who have relatively normal skin, bathing every day is OK, and there are things you should pay attention to when taking a shower.Skin hydration (水合作用) is ensured by the bricks-and-mortar structure of the dead skin cells on the surface, which are bound together by natural moisturising (保湿) materials such as ceramides. Together, they keep moisture in your skin and prevent it from fading, but frequent bathing can wash this barrier away. 17 . After showering, apply moisturising cream while your skin is still damp, to lock in that moisture, rather than drying yourself thoroughly and then applying cream.18 , but most exfoliating (使死皮脱落) cleaning products can cause scratchs on the skin. In general, if you want to exfoliate, acid-based accelerators, such as glycolic or lactic acids, are more gentle. When it comes to your feet, products containing urea, which breaks up dry and dead skin cells, will soften better than abrasive scrubs.19 . If you have sensitive skin, avoid heavily sweet-smelling soaps, which contain additives that can cause irritation or allergic reactions.In general, soapy water will run down your legs and feet anyway. The upper leg and groin area is the part you should wash regularly, because it can become colonised by pathogens. 20 A．People often want to cleanse their skinB．So taking a reasonable number of baths is good for themC．It is important to choose a soap that suits your skin typeD．When purchasing cleaning products, you must be cautiousE．To protect them, avoid taking too hot and too long showersF．Anyway, you’d better wash thoroughly to remove all the soap remainsG．Remember to always have a break after your bath to keep your skin healthy二、完形填空Last month, I attended a cultural festival in the centre of our city, where we celebrated the theme of kindness through some exhibitions.

woman，has been into it for eight months，and just four months away from claiming grand prize．Vitaminwater made news headlines last December when it announced its unique challenge．Thousands of people applied to be chosen as the perfect candidate to spend a year with out touching their smart phones，but in the end，the only person who got to try and survive for an entire year without a handheld smart phone was Elana Mugdan，a 29﹣year﹣old fiction writer from Queens，New York．Eight months into the challenge，she claims it has been a free and eye﹣opening experience that shows her just how dependent she becomes on her smart phone．Even though there are times when she misses her handheld smart phone，she plans to go on living without it even after the challenge ends，because she really doesn't want to go back to days when she abused it，wasted time，stayed up all hours of the night on it，and was obsessed with social media．But not having access to her smart phone really made certain situations a lot harder than shecould have imagined them before．"Many people did me a favor．However，once，I almost got stranded （滞留）in the SeaTac airport because the phone number I'd written down was wrong，and I had no way of referring to the right one，no way of calling a cab，and no one in the state who could help me，" the young writer said．Another time，her car's "check engine" light turned on while she was driving in an unfamiliar area at night．She couldn't use her phones GPS location feature，or even check what the light meant on Google or find a nearby car repair shop．Still，she learned to overcome these situations．And now she claims the last eight months of phone free life have been one of the best adventures of her life and that shell keep it for another four months．（1）What's the challenge "free of

phone．B．She finds no one can help her in the adventure．C．She has not won the grand S 100，000 prize yet．D．She used her smart phone to write fiction．13．（8分）Pycnandra acuminata （喜树）is a rare tree native to New Caledonia that has the rare abili ty to collect heavy metals like nickel （镍）from the ground．The liquid circulated in its body is blue﹣green and reportedly contains up to 25% nickel．In general，trees and heavy metals like nickel don't really go well together．But Pycnandraacuminata make them live together．And that's what makes Pycnandra acuminata so special．It sucks out normally poisonous levels of heavy metals from the soil and store them in its trunk，leaves and seeds．The evolution of Pycnandra acuminata is believed to have occurred over millions of years but scientists have yet to identify a universal principle of nickel intake and storage．The reason why such trees have formed the way of absorbing metals is also up for debate．The most popular theory states that the concentration of nickel protects such trees from leaf ﹣chewing insects．And studies have shown that nickel accumulated by these trees indeed harms many insects though some have developed a high tolerance to it．Another theory says nickel has effects of resisting bacteria，which protects the trees from various disease．However，these theories are all just theories．One thing that has been proven is the ability of Pycnandra acuminata to clean the soil with poisonous materials caused by human activity．There's also clear potential for collecting heavy materials like nickel in these kinds of soils that will bring a few profits by conventional ways of mining．People can collect minerals contained in such soils from the blue﹣green trees．Unfortunately，Pycnandra acuminata is recently in a bad situation．Human activity in forests of New Caledonia has made Pycnandra acuminata in danger．Consequently，probably fewer than several hundred trees of this kind have remained as a result of the reduction of our forests．（1）What do we know about Pycnandra acuminata？A．It has a blue﹣green color due to metals collected．B．It is able to collect some heavy metals from the ground．C．It sucks out a

own satellite？Arizona State University is working towards making thisa reality with its Sun Cube FemtoSat project．Smaller than a standard CubeSat，the low﹣cast student﹣designed spacecraft is aimed at providing greater access to space for scientists and hobbyists alike．Assistant professor Jekan Thanga and a team of students have been developing the Sun﹣Cube Femto Sat for the past two years．The small 3×3×3cm cube weighs in at just 35g and a longer （3×3×9cm，100g）model has also been designed，which includes storage space．Each SunCube FemtoSat has its own communication，data collection and propulsion （推进）systems and is powered by solar panels．It is made of off﹣the﹣shelf parts that are available in shops，and the energy﹣efficient solar panels are cut from scrap （碎片），which makes it save energy，sold at a discount by manufacturers．"With a spacecraft of this size，any university can do it，" says Thanga．"That's part of our major goal space discovery for everybody．"The team says that while launching your own satellite would usually cost between US 60，000﹣70，000 per kilo，it would only cost ＄1，000 to send a Sun Cube Femto Sat to the International Space Station，and ＄3，000 to send it into low earth orbit．Leaving the earth's gravity would cost an estimated ＄27，000．The Femto Sat would be packed with a "jack in the box" style system that matches standard CubeSat sizes （around 10 cubic cm），simplifying the process of getting the tiny satellite into orbit．NASA has sent 30 Cube Sats into space over the last few years，with another 50 awaiting launch．Thanga and his staff view the FemtoSat as a starting point for scientists and student and even hope the device could be bought on the website like Amazon one day．Thanga Imagines developing four main applications for the device，including hands﹣on testing experiences for students，and artificial gravity experiments．In addition，groups of SunCube FemtoSats could eventually be able to do the job of larger spacecraft at a vastly discounted cost．（1）What is the major goal of the Sun Cube FemtoSat project？A．To act on teaching in outer space．B．To provide access to spacecraft design．C．To help carry out a classroom experiment．D．To help average individuals explore space．（2）What is special about Sun Cube FemtoSats？A．They are energy﹣efficient．B．They are of the same size．C．They are mainly designed for lab use．D．They are mainly used to collect information．（3）What does Thanga expect of Sun Cube femtoSats？A．They'll be provided for free．B．They'll be available online．C．They'll match the size of CubeSats．D．They'll be sent into space with Cubesats．（4）What can be the best title for the text？A．FemtoSats Will Rule Space．B．Your Own satellite Is Coming．C．Going into Space has been Affordable．D．You Can Design Your Own

These schools are primarily located in the Northeastern part of the country. There are eight total colleges that are considered to be Ivy League. These schools are Brown, Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, and Columbia universities and the University of Pennsylvania. Of all institutions of higher learning, these elite schools are considered to be the most outstanding and the most sought-after in terms of acceptance and graduation.The term “Ivy League” came about in 1954 when the NCAA athletic conference for Division I was formed. At the time, the elitism of these schools was really due to their prestige in the realm of sports like basketball. Although the term “Ivy League” was not created until the 1950s, many of these schools were in existence as far back as 1636, when John Harvard became the first benefactor of Harvard University.Although this group of elite schools is considered to be part of one big league of the elite, there have been plenty of internal rivalries over the years. The sports that these colleges play were so popular that some teams began playing games in New York City so spectators could come from far away and watch the games. The popularity of both the athletes who played and the college team rivalries brought in a good deal of attention to the schools as well as revenue from ticket sales. There have also been academic rivalries between schools. Mostly, these rivalries are a matter of opinion in terms of which school has the most honor graduates, which schools offer the most prestigious scholarships, and what famous graduates have come from each school.Each Ivy League college has its own unique accomplishments that make it important. All carry a certain reputation with them, and each school has programs that excel primarily in the medical and law fields, makingthem some of the most sought-after schools in the world. Their admission process is very selective, which helps the schools ensure that they only accept the best and brightest. Many famous people have graduated from Ivy League schools, including recent presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. This prestige leads many to believe that these colleges are only for the wealthy and elite. Often, companies look for Ivy League graduates as potential employees, usually preferred by law firms, medical facilities, and large corporations. It has long beencovetedto have earned a degree from an Ivy League school. Today, the Ivy League schools are still excellent in both academia and in sports, and they have left a legacy of higher education with an exceptional track record and reputation to go along with them.8. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Ivy League schools were initially famous for their reputation in sports.B. Ivy League schools didn’t come into existence until the 1950s.C. Ivy League schools do not compete with each other within the league.D. Ivy League schools are most popular for their excellence in the medical and law fields.9. Which of the following aspects is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The history of the Ivy LeagueB. The rivalry of the Ivy LeagueC. The accomplishments and cultural impacts of the Ivy LeagueD. The future development of the Ivy League10. Why do many people believe that Ivy League colleges are only for the wealthy and elite?A. Because they are the most sought-after schools in the world.B. Because they have selective admission process to help ensure the quality of their students.C. Because many famous people have graduated from Ivy League schools.D. Because manycompanies look for Ivy League graduates as potential employees.11. What does the underlined word “coveted” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. advocatedB.DesiredC. restrictedD. sponsoredDWhen an animal species is considered endangered, it means that the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has evaluatedit as nearly extinct, which means that a majority of its population has already died off and the rate of birth is lower than the species’death rate. Today, more and more animal and plant species are onthe way to extinction because of a variety of major factors that cause a species to become endangered, and as you might expect, humans play a role in quite a few of them — in fact, the biggest threat to endangered animals is human encroachment (侵入) on their habitats.Every species needs a habitat, where an animal finds food, raises its young. Unfortunately, humans destroy animal habitats in a number of different ways: building houses, clearing forests to getlumberand to plant crops, draining rivers to bring water to those crops, and making streets and parking lots.In addition, human development pollutes the environment with all kinds of chemicals, which destroys food sources and shelters for the creatures and plants of that area. As a result, some species die out while others are pushed into areas where they can’t find food and shelters — to make matters worse, when one animal population suffers, it affects many other species in its food web, so more than one species’population is likely to decrease.Habitat destruction is the number one reason for animal endangerment, which is why conservation groups work hard to repair the effects of human developments — many non-profit groups like the Nature Conservancy are taking measures to clean up coastlines and establish nature preserves to prevent further harm to native environments and species around the world.12. A species is considered endangered________.A. when the IUCN has noticed its population changeB. when most of its population has died offC. when the species’ birth rate is close to its death rateD. when the species is losing its habitat13. What does the underlined word “lumber” probably mean?A. Gas.B. Food.C. Chemicals.D. Wood.14. What is being done to protect the endangered species?A. Calling for human development.B. Raising money.C. Establishing nature preserves.D. Educating people.15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Habitat destruction causes animal endangerment.B. Animals die out due to environment pollution.C. Measures need to be taken to increase species.D. Non-profit groups are making great contributions.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届湖南师范大学附属中学高三英语三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 following 4 famous paintings, from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece, have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery,London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital nearSaint-Remy-de-Provence,Francebetween 1889 and 1890. When theMuseumofModern ArtinNew York Citypurchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector fromAntwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art inNew York Citysince 1919.GuernicaGuernica,a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title ‘Guernica’ refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo National Centro de Arte ReinaSofiainMadrid.1. What do the four paintings have in common?A. They are oil paintings.B. They are kept inNew York.C. They show different people’s lives.D. They are created during 10th century to 19th century.2. What do we know about The Starry Night?A. It shows the scenery of a small hillside village.B. Van Gogh produced it when living in his home.C. A private collector gave it away to the museum.D. It was not famous before 1941.3. Whose painting shows the destruction of war?A. Jan van Eyck.B. Vincent van Gogh.C. Pieter Bruegel.D. Pablo Picasso.BSalad plants have already been grown in old sheltersand tunnels. Urban farming is a regular topic of interest at places like the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, where leaders consider whether the world's food system, blamed for causing both obesity and malnutrition, can be fixed. There are already plenty of urban farming projects around the world, particularly in the US, Japan and the Netherlands, from urban fish and plant farms to vertical farming.“It's becoming an expanding industry,” said Richard Ballard, one of the founders of the farm Growing Underground. “There're several other businesses starting up in London in containers, and there are other vertical farms around the country now.”Growing Underground is not a standard farm. The rows of crops could be in almost any tunnel, but these plants are 100 feet below Clapham High Street and show that urban agriculture is, in some cases at least, nota fad. The underground farm has occupied a part of the Second World War air-raid shelters for nearly five years, and Ballard is planning to expand into the rest of the space later this year.Growing Underground supplies herb and salad mixes to grocery shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Being in London creates an advantage, Ballard says, as they can harvest and deliver in an hour.He adds other advantages. Being underground means temperatures never go below 15℃surface greenhouses need to be heated. They can do more harvests: 60 crops a year, compared with about seven in a traditional farm. Electricity to power the lights is a major cost, but the company believes renewable energy will become cheaper.Similar British companies include the Jones Food Company in Lincolnshire, while in the US AeroFarms has several projects in New Jersey, and Edenworks in Brooklyn.4. What do we know about urban farming?A. It leads to a healthier lifestyle.B. It is rarely discussed at the WEF.C. Different farming methods are used.D. Local governments pay efforts to develop it.5. Which of the following best explains "a fad" underlined in Paragraph 3?A. A dream that's easy to realize.B. A field controlled for a long time.C. An approach to a serious problem.D. A fashion that’s popular for a short time.6. What can we learn about the underground farm?A. It is more productive than a traditional farm.B. It provides food directly to the customers.C. Its major products are herbs and salads.D. It uses less energy than a greenhouse.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Current food system causes health problemsB. Growing Underground attracts more peopleC. Traditional farming will be replaced soonD. Urban farming isstill thought costly and time-consumingCA Virginia teen is doing his part to make sure frontline health care workers are getting the meals they need to help them take care of themselves and others.Arul Nigam, 17, of Tyson's Corner, Va. , has had to make several adjustments since his school year ended abruptly in mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情).“We didn'thave any classes for like over a month and then after that there were a lot of technical difficulties. So I started to have a lot more free time,” he tells Yahoo Life. “It was really saddening, but it was also something that really surprised me, that our health care workers are facing something like that,” Nigam says. “So I wanted to see what I could do to help them because obviously, they're sacrificing so much and giving so much for all of us. ”In late March, the teen started fundraising efforts with the help of friends and family to help these health care workers receive much-needed meals. He also began doing research about what hospitals had the most amount of coronavirus cases, so he could prioritize those places first. He was also arranging for the orders to be fulfilled at local family-owned restaurants impacted by shutdown orders. So far, Nigam has delivered over 1,000 meals to 22 hospitals in 13 states, including New York, Massachusetts and Maryland.Nigam's efforts have not only helped health care workers, but restaurants as well. With quarantine restrictionstaking a toll onthe food industry, places like Best Coast Burrito in Oakland, Calif. , have lost business over the last few weeks. Best Coast's owner,Alvin Shen, tells Yahoo Life that being able to partner with Arul andothers in efforts to feed those on the frontline has been a big help.8. What would Nigam probably do according to his words?A. Study at home by himself.B. Spend the more free time playing.C. Donate some money to health care workers.D. Do something helpful for health care workers.9. What is Nigam's priority when delivering food?A. The urgency of meals.B. The severity of the virus.C. The number of doctors.D.

Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers. These answers can enable you to suddenly grow spiritually and mentally.I can give you a personal example. I went to a meeting once and I was verbally attacked over an application I supported at my workplace. Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never worked. That didn’t bother me that much. I was used to that but one of the comments that was said was, “Your job is pointless.” This really upset meand at the time, I was ly furious(发怒地) with that comment.I was so angry and upset that they would treat me that way. Once I took the time to think about what wasreally making me so mad. I learned a lot. I realized that the comment was more truethan I wanted to admit. In the big scheme of things, my job was pointless. It wasn’t what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this was what frustrated me the most. Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn’t even really want to do. I was using it as a crutch(拐杖) because I didn’t have the confidence in myself to take the scary road towards what I really wanted to do. As soon as I realized that, a lot of my anger just melted away. I also realized that I needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.I now consider this incident as a great gift It got me back on track to moving in the direction I wanted to go with my life. I probably wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.12. What made the author angry at the meeting?A. The system of the company was terrible.B. Someone said his job is insignificant.C. The policy of the company didn’t work.D. The application he supported was of no effect.13. What brought down the anger of the author?A. The apology someone made at the meeting.B. The crutch he used to take the scary road.C. His awareness of the fact that the comment was true.D. The courage he had to overcome the challenges.14. Why did the author consider the incident as a gift?A. It brought him back on track to the goal.B. It helped him get promoted to a higher position.C. It helped him change his character since then.D. It provided him with confidence in his career.15. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How to Cope with Verbal Attack in a CompanyB. Avoid Being Pointless at WorkC.

Li Ziqi, a vlogger who enjoys a fan base of more than 21 million people on Sina Weibo and7 million strong followers on YouTube, has made a name for herself in her videos that highlighta traditional Chinese way of life in the rural areas of Sichuan Province. Her videos cover a wide variety of crafts related to traditional Chinese culture. From making paper and ink to weaving cloth, from making a silk quilt comforter for her grandmother to building her own bread kiln with blocks, nothing seems impossible with Li’s crafty hands as they work their magic to bring these things into existence. But Li’s most eye-catching, and mouth-watering craft is cooking.Li scarcely speaks in her videos. When she does open her mouth, the most common phrase that comes out is her calling her grandmother to come and eat. Instead of dialogue, Li focuses on how she works with her hands. Watching her videos, it is difficult not to appreciate their beauty and hold back that sense of nostalgia (怀旧) and longing for home. But it is even hardernot to want to take a bite of her succulent dishes, which really remind viewers of taste of our childhood and home.Glamorous as her present life may seem, life was difficult for her during her youth as she and her grandparents had little to live on. Li hersel f revealed that she was “economically supported” to continue schooling. She started to work in the city at 14 and would not have returned to her childhood home if not for her grandmother falling ill in 2012. After returning home, Li opened an online shop, Li Ziqi, to sell mostly edible products. To boost sales, she began making short films in 2016 about how these products were created, while covering her life in the rural area, all against the backdrop of traditional Chinese aesthetics (审美). “I started it b ecause I wanted to create something for people to watch and relax. We are all under a lot of stress. I hoped that after a long and busy day, they could click on my videos and relieve some of their anxiety and pressure,” Li said.However, Li is not wi thout criticism, such as remarks about her “beautifying” life in the country and her use of a professional production crew to help her film. Others have expressed skepticism about how “real” her videos are, and how “amazing it is that she looks so picture perfect after a long day of work in the fields.”【小题1】According to the passage, we can know the following EXCEPT . A．it was her grandmother‟ falling ill that made her return to her hometownB．masses of viewers from both home and abroad are hooked by her videosC．she never opens her mouth in her videos because she has difficulty in speakingD．many viewers speak highly of her videos while some of them throw doubt on her【小题2】What words can be best used to describe Li Ziqi? A．Aggressive and strong-willed.B．Crafty and considerate.C．Humorous and stubborn.D．Ambitious and severe.【小题3】From Li Ziqi’s story, we can know that . A．Many hands make light work B．An idle youth, a needy ageC．Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful D．God helps those who help themselves【小题4】What is the best title for the passage? A．Young vlogger tells story of China in picturesque videosB．An Internet celebrity makes delicious dishesC．Relaxing videos are made with passionD．The more traditional, the more popular(★★★★)3 . The Cosmic Crisp—a new super-sweet variety of apple that can reportedly last longer thana year in the refrigerator—is expected to hit grocery stores in the US this week.The Cosmic Crisp’s release comes after two decades of development and some three years of planting apple trees. Washington state farmers have exclusive growing rights for one decade, according to local media KIMA. The apple, developed by Washington State University‟s fruit t ree breeding program and first cultivated in 1997, is said to have a “remarkably firm and crisp texture” and be surprisingly sweet, making it an excellent eating apple, according to its website.The fruit, a cross between the Enterprise and Honeycrisp apple varieties, was bred to feature “naturally higher levels of acidity and sugar”, so much so that one can use less sugar while baking, researchers claim. They also say that it‟s “naturally slow to brown when cut and maintains its texture and flavor in storage for more than a year.”Its name stems from the tiny bright dots on the apple‟s otherwise darker red skin. Tasters said the flecks reminded them of “outer space and the cosmos,” Cosmic Crisp‟s website noted. Just over 450,000 40lb boxes of the cosmic Crisp crop were expected to be shipped to retailers across the US on Sunday, according to the Spokane-based Spokesman-Review.The producers hope the shipments will grow to 2.1m boxes in 2020. For those who can‟t wait for their local grocery store to stock them, four apples were retailing for $39 online over the weekend.The initial 600,000 Cosmic Crisp trees were sold to farmers in 2017, researchers reportedly said. Since then, more than 10m Cosmic Crisp trees were planted, Kate Evans, who heads the university‟s Pome Fruit Breeding Program, told the Spokesman-Review.【小题1】How long can the new apples last? A．They can last shorter than three years.B．They can last longer than a year.C．They can last a year.D．They can last one decade.【小题2】What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．The features of the Cosmic Crisp.B．The way of planting the Cosmic Crisp.C．The cost of planting the Cosmic Crisp.D．The shape of the Cosmic Crisp.【小题3】What does the underlined word “flecks” mean?A．Flavour.B．Red skin.C．The tiny bright dots.D．Stars.【小题4】What is the author’s attitude towards this Cosmic Crisp? A．Pessimistic.B．Disapproving.C．Subjective.D．Objective.(★★★★)4 . Many mental health professionals viewed the pursuit of happiness as a foolish mistake until quite recently. Most of them used to concentrate their energy and attention on individuals suffering from diseases like depression and anxiety, or on relieving despair rather than promoting well-being. But that’s all beginning to change. Supporters of “positive psychology” think that happiness is a goal that people can—and should—wor k toward. They believe that it’s not only possible but crucially important. Health means not just the absence of disease but a positive sense of involvement and engagement in life. Unless you know how to enjoy life, your life is not really happy. This does n’t mean that finding happiness is easy—a variety of obstacles stands in the way. The first, perhaps the biggest, is genetics.Happiness, it seems, is decided—at least in part—by personality features that are largely passed on from their parents. In a study published in 2018, researchers at the University of Edinburgh examined personality and happiness data on more than 900 pairs of twins. They found a close genetic relationship between happiness and positive personalities such as openness and agreeableness. Identical twins (同卵双胞胎) were more likely to share these positive features than non-identical twins; they were also more likely to report similar levels of well-being.Major life events as well as social and economic factors can also stand in the way of happiness. More often than not, however, people get in their own way by looking for happiness in all the wrong places. They aren’t particularly good at recognizing what will bring them lasting joy: Although money tops many people’s wish lists, s tudy after study has found that once basic needs are met, additional wealth doesn’t add much to people’s sense of well-being and contentment.Experts in the field of positive psychology still believe it’s possible for people to push their happiness upward—not just temporarily but over the long term.【小题1】What’s the shift in mental health study? A．Health means the absence of disease.B．Emphasis is placed on the pursuit of happiness.C．Well-being is found to be something one was born with.D．More attention is paid to anxiety and depression.【小题2】Which of the following statements is NOT true? A．Different obstacles are in the way of finding happiness.B．Happiness is largely dictated by one’s personality.C．Identical twins are more likely to be on the same level of well-being than non-identical twins.D．Wealth always plays an important role in people’s sense of happiness and contentment.【小题3】The obstacles standing in the way of happiness include all of the following elements EXCEPT <u></u>.A．emotive factors B．geneticsC．social factors D．economic factors【小题4】According to the experts of positive psychology, what’s the essential point of the pursuit of happiness?A．Material prosperity.B．Freedom.C．Long-term efforts.D．The avoidance of stress.二、七选五(★★)5 . Finding a new job isn’t always easy. You search for a suitable vacancy, send in an application form and if that goes well, you might be invited for an interview. 【小题1】—you‟re going to be faced by a panel of strangers who‟ll fire difficult questions at you, and you‟ll have to actually prove yourself. But how would you feel if, instead of being asked why you want the job, you‟re asked to stand up and dance?!From the perspective of a company, it wants to hire the right person because they can make a big difference to the success of the organization. 【小题2】. A good interview process should involve rigorous screening (筛选) of job applicants and effective questions that every applicant gets asked. But that‟s not always the case.【小题3】. She told the BBC that some companies “give their interviewers little or no training and often leave them completely on their own when it comes to figuring out what to ask job candida tes.” She mentions that some interviewers are too casual and some focus on buildinga good rapport (融洽的关系)and end up hiring the candidate they just “clicked with” (与……引起共鸣), regardless of their skills and abilities.An inexperienced interviewer may t hink it‟s clever to ask “if you were an animal, what kind would you be?” That has been asked, Alison Green says, but in reality this has no connection with the job.【小题4】. Talking of inappropriate, the BBC heard from a number of people who were surprised by the questions they were asked in an interview. Mature student Kevin Helton said that “the interviewer asked, “you used to be in the Army, how many people have you killed?”But Alison Green points out: 【小题5】, and while the interviewer might be making judgments, the candidate can also make their own judgement and decide if this is really the career move (职业发展) they want to make!A．While a candidate might feel at the mercy of an interviewer, they are able to question why they‟re being asked somethingB．Alison Green is an author and creator of the workplace advice column “Ask a Manager”C．For some, this is when the panic sets inD．It is a tough time for most of usE．It therefore needs to test a candidate in the most appropriate way to discover how suitable he or she may beF．We may be in such a case when in an interviewG．And there have been inappropriate requests, such as one job seeker being asked to showthe interviewer the inside of her handbag to demonstrate how organized she was三、完形填空(★★★★)6 .

They found success in America, however, in computers and engineering. In part because of their own experiences, Ma's parents hoped he would study to become an engineer or a doctor. They wanted financial security for their child.Growing up, Ma considered many professions — writer, fireman, even president. Ma did well in math and science classes in high school. And he ended up choosing to study electrical engineering in college. Several engineering jobs later, though, Ma had a change of heart. He wanted to leave the engineering world behind and enter the restaurant business. It was in his blood. After all, his parents had owned a Chinese restaurant in Arkansas. His parents could not understand why he would want to leave such a good job to open a restaurant.He wanted to study the fundamentals of cooking so that he could work as a chef in his own restaurant. Ma enrolled at the International Culinary Center in New York, where he receivedtraining in French cooking. “I have never cooked through my entire life up until this point.” Ma soon learned that he enjoyed cooking and he discovered it was similar to engineering. “Professional cooking is consistency, efficiency, cleanliness and it's all about the process of things which you know my background in engineering was. ”In 2009, Ma opened his first restaurant in Virginia. His long hours paid off. Ma opened his fourth restaurant last year in Washington, D．C．He mixes his training in French cooking with his Chinese heritage to create new dishes. “I think in this country you can create your own success, just by working hard. Not because you're smarter than anybody, just by working hard. And that's why a lot of people end up coming to America.”4．Why did Tim Ma's parents expect him to be an engineer or a doctor?A．Because he can have enough money to support himself.B．Because they wanted him to achieve their unfinished dream.C．Because he has a great interest in math and science.D．Because these two jobs both have high social statues.5．What was Ma's parents' attitude towards his job changing?A．Supportive. B．Unfavorable.C．Neutral. D．Skeptical.6．What does Tim Ma think about cooking?A．It is something like engineering.B．Cooking is all about cleaning.C．You have to do the work consistently.D．Efficiency is important in cooking.7．Which of the following best describes Tim Ma?A．Humorous and athletic.B．Hard-working and determined.C．Fashionable and aggressive.D．Stubborn and devoted.Anyone caring about their health will be able to speak out a few of the major vitamins, and possibly take an educated guess at what they do. Vitamin C, found in oranges and other fruit and vegetables, is important for wound repair. And the much-talked-about “sunshine” vitamin D, produced by the skin in response to UV light, is essential for strong bones.But what about vitamin P? It might well have you scratching your head. And that's not surprising: the term was first coined in the 1930s to describe a small group of compounds that provide pigment (天然色素) to plants, and were believed to have health benefits. A century later, these compounds are now better known as flavonoids (类黄酮)．Today, scientists have identified between 4,000 and 6,000 different kinds and we now know they are responsible for many of the flavors and smells of fruit and vegetables and also that they protect them from invaders such as pests and bacteria.They are equally important nutrients for the body, helping maintain bones and teeth, and for the production of the protein collagen (胶原), which provides structure to blood vessels, muscles and skin.They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness, including oxidation (氧化), a natural process by which the body's cells age and can become damaged and defective. That means they could help to protect against chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease.8．What do we know about vitamin P?A．We would scratch our head if we took it.B．It refers to the compounds also called flavonoids.C．It was made into a coin in the 1930s.D．People didn't think it beneficial in the past.9．Which is NOT the function of vitamin P for humans according to the passage? A．Helping maintain bones and teeth.B．Assisting in producing protein collagen.C．Accelerating the circulation of the blood.D．Aiding the body to handle the main factors of illness.10．Which of the following best explains “defective” underlined in the last paragraph? A．Harmful. B．Discouraged.C．Vague. D．Deficient.11．How does vitamin P help slow the aging process?A．By fighting against oxidation. B．By maintaining bones.C．By strengthening muscles. D．By protecting against chronic diseases.Blue Planet II's latest episode (情节) focuses on how plastic is having a destructive effecton the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics, plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment, but we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we don' t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag-when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.12．Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A．The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B．Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C．Plastics have gained popularity too fast for science to catch up.D．The world couldn't possibly function without plastics.13．How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A．By citing quotes from leading experts. B．By making a comparison and contrast.C．By listing examples from his own experience. D．By presenting solid statistics. 14．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A．We reap what we sow. B．The shortest answer is doing.C．All things are difficult before they are easy. D．Actions speak louder than words. 15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The oceans become choked with plastic. B．Ocean plastic is a global issue. C．Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken. D．Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.二、完形填空People keep organizing massive thousand person hide-and-seek games at Ikea (宜家) though it has 16 asked people not to play in its stores.The first evidence of this 17 dates back to 2014, when a Belgian blogger named Elise De Rijck coordinated a hide-and-seek meet up at her local Ikea store to celebrate her 30th birthday.

The company soon 25 similar Facebook groups organizing games and asked them to disband, noting 26 risks.

Employees at the local Ikea 28 the plan on Facebook and called the police, who turned away the 29 gamesters. An Ikea spokesperson told The Scotsman, “We need to make sure people are safe, and that's hard if we don't know where they are.”Ikea's prohibition on hide-and-seek 30 . But at the same time, it's hard not to see the phenomenon as a potential 31 for the company, which has been working 32 to reinvent itself, rethinking its store designs and opening smaller urban stores that are really just a 33 for digital orders. It probably truly isn't safe to play guerilla-style games at astore that sells heavy furniture.

The country has strictlaws against ride sharing, and its unemployment rate is at 2.4 percent, making a tight job market. With a growing demand for food delivery, more of the elderly population has applied to become couriers.“The elderly are actually signing up for Eats couriers,” Khosrowshahi said. “Eats has been a huge success for us in Japan. 37．.” In Japan, the majority of current food deliverers bring the product via scooter or bicycle, but the older generation of applicants prefer to do it by foot. 38．; adult diapers (尿布) outsell baby diapers. “This is one area unique to Japan, and we are looking if we can expand to the rest of the world,” Khosrowshahi said.That plan includes increasing staffing levels in Japan by at least 30 percent over the next year, and these jobs aren't limited to grannies in sneakers. 39．. It's still a slow pace considering the San Francisco-based company has more than 22,000 employees.Uber currently works with eight taxi cab companies in Japan, and the pedestrian courier method is a way to branch out into areas untouched so far. There are cab-hailing apps available, as well as Uber Black, a car-hire service that's only available in Tokyo for now. “It will take time, but we like what we see in terms of the potential of the market” Khosrowshahi said. “40．.”A．The population is agingB．They also include sales, operations and account managementC．It is going to be a very effective introduction to the Uber brandD．Last year, Uber shifted to partnerships with local taxi companiesE．Japan is a growing nation for food-delivery-still way far behind the USF．But putting grandma and grandpa in running shoes seems to make senseG．The innovations that we are going to make here are going to carry around the world四、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

2020年湖南师范大学附属中学高三英语三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AOn the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), red tourism has gained popularity among tourists who flood in to visit historic sites with a modern revolutionary heritage.JinggangshanThis is one of the most crucial and splendid chapters of history of establishing Red China as well as a unique and wonderful ecosystem, which is covered with rich forest, rugged peaks and several memorials to the Red Army. The best time to visit is between April and October, with the most temperature timing April and May when the large azaleas (杜鹃花) bloom.Open: 8:00-17:00 (Feb. 16-Nov. 15). 8:00-16:30 (Nov. 16-Feb. 15)XibaipoIt is an old revolutionary base where the leadership of the Communist Party of China was stationed, drawing up the blueprint for a new country. A memorial hall was built to honor the memory of this site. The lake and the hill here add brilliance and beauty to each other and form pleasant scenery.Open: Tuesdays to Sundays 9:30-17:00 (Xibaipo Memorial Hall)The Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial HallA new exhibition is held with updated display approaches, including phantom imaging (全息影像) and oil painting, which are used to improve visitors' experiences.

The site was briefly based in Beijing but moved back to Shanghai in 1920 and also served as the office for the Communist Party of China Central Committee in the 1920s.Open: Thursdays to Tuesdays 9:00 - 11:30, 13:30 - 16:30 (closed on Wednesdays)1. Where would visitors learn more about the history of the Red Army?A. Jinggangshan.B. Xibaipo.C. The Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial Hall.D. Former Site of the Editorial Department ofNew Youth.2. What do we know about the Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial Hall?A. It focuses on Chinese achievements in art.B. It mainly advertises the coming anniversary.C.

At 1:00 p.m. on Mondays.B. At 9:00 a.m. on Wednesdays.C. At 2:00 p.m. on Fridays.D. At 5:00 p.m on Sundays.BMark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It's life-changing but it's not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical (辅助医疗的) tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Using flesh-toned (肉色的) inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients' view of themselves.Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.“Plastic surgery gave me no hope,” she says. “So I looked for other options.” She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano. He hid Pollan's lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence.“ You don't understand until you've been through it,” Pollan says. “It made me have a different look on life.”Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn'tcharge for paramedical tattoos. “Financially, it doesn't make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see that emotion from my customers, I'm 100 percent sure this is something that I can't stop doing.”4. What best describes people's attitude when first hearing of fingernail tattoos?A. Indifferent.B. Ridiculous.C. Confident.D. Surprised.5. What did Catalano do to help Leslie Pollan?A. He drew an artistic puppy.B. He inked scars on her face.C. He created a lip tattoo.D. He performed plastic surgeries on her.6. What can we infer from the passage?A. Cosmetic surgery is of no use.B. Tattoos earn Mark Bertram a good fame.C. Catalano is a kind and generous person.D. Fingernail tattoos are popular around the world.7. What could be the best title for the text?A. A Life-changing EventB. Miracle TattoosC. An Amazing ArtistD. A Promising BusinessCDid you know that the average child has heard the word "no" over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three? Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The "terrible twos" are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful, the children will watch us model a world of "NOs".By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the "NOs" we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no tosomeone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run intopeople with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!8. What do we know about two- year- olds?A. They understand well.B. They often say no to others.C. They think logically.D. They don't do all they're told.9. What effect does saying no have on children?A. They lose all their dreams.B. They aren't easy to succeed.C. They don't make mistakes.D. They never say yes to others.10. Which word best describes the author's attitude to a world of "NOs"?A. Tolerant.B. Disapproving.C. Favorable.D. Carefree.11. What is the text?A. A how-to guide.B. A survey report.C. An opinion essay.D. A short story.DYour house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self­conscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the color1 s. Research suggests warm color1 s fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm color1 s like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold color1 s make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn onrelaxing music. It makesyou less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12­inch plate instead of a 10­inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.12. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____________.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD.healthy diets13. A home environment in blue can help people ______________.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites14. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Waysof Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self­ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?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。

Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their children’s path to success, so they don’t have to suffer failure, frustration (挫折) or lose opportunities.It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don’t ever meet with failure, but it’s not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting. This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children, regardless of income, education, or race.Yes, it’s a parent’s job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their children aren’t mature enough to do so. That’s why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid gettingangry or take away a teenager’s car keys until he finishes his college applications.But snowplow parents can take it too far, some experts say. If children have never faced a difficulty, what happens when they get into the real world?“Solving problems, taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills,” many child development experts say, “and if parents don’t let their children experience failure, the children don’t acquire them.”4.

This love letter to the cleansing beauty of a good cry is a comforting thought at atime when the continuing stress of the COVID-19 has added heaviness to each of our lives.Scientifically, de Rivarol's poetic image doesn't, if you'll forgive the words used in the poem, hold water. There's limited research on crying, partly because of the difficulty of copying the behavior of real crying in a lab. But even within the previous studies, there's little evidence to suggest that crying provides a physiological cleansing of poisons in people's body.Psychologists believe the relief of a good cry connects with a different emotional process. “It seems that crying occurs just after the peak of the emotional experience, and crying is associated with this return to homeostasis: the process of maintaining a stable psychological state,” said Lauren Bylsma. He also said holding back tears can have negative physical consequences, including headaches and muscle tension. Such restriction can also limit our experiences of joy, gratitude and other positive emotions if we avoid acknowledging our feelings.For me crying has been easier said than done during the COVID-19. Psychologists say it's normal to feel stopped up by the stresses of the past year. We should find opportunities to release and process our emotions.Watching a tear-jerking movie, having an emotional conversation with a close friend, and writing in a journal are healthy ways toelicita cry. Physical activity like light-footed walking or even dancing can also signal our bodies to release some emotional tightness. We can then open up to the flow of feelings that leave us feeling lighter and refreshed—like a clear sky after a soaking rain.8. What is the weakness of the studies ever clone on crying?A.

The two World Wars are examples. Sometimes nature even becomes part of history. Shaking earthquakes are recorded in history books.Sixteen years ago, nature caused just such a history-making event. In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina came ashore inNew Orleans,Louisiana. The deadly storm floodedNew Orleans. Before Katrina, no other big American city had ever flooded in the history of the country. This natural disaster caused great harm and death.New Orleansis located below sea level. This location places it at great risk. Levees were built to protectNew Orleansfrom the ocean. (A levee is like a wall between the city and the ocean.) When Hurricane Katrina came ashore, water moved over the levees into the city. Flooding made it necessary for everyone to leave the city. Before Katrina, Creole food (a special kind of cooking only inLouisiana) filled the air with delicious smells. The sound of jazz music traveled through the streets. Now the city has to return to its former glory.Before Katrina, ernment had never made everyone leave a city. People inNew Orleanshad to find shelter quickly. Some had to stay at theSuperdomeSportsCenter. Some rode on buses to other towns. Thousands drove their cars to get away from the storm. The roads and shelters filled up fast.The lesson learned from Katrina was that cities must be better prepared for big storms and other terrible disasters caused by nature. Being prepared might have kept more people safe. Hurricane Katrina is one of the history-making events that will be remembered forever. Today, history is still being made that will shape the future.12. What does the author tell us aboutNew Orleans?A. It was built above sea level.B. It had few jazz musicians after Katrina.C.
