AOur favorite tech gifts of 2019When it comes time for the holiday shopping season, we’re extra choosy about the countless technology products that we will buy and give to friends and family. Here’s what impressed editors, reporters and producers the most in 2019.Lumos MatrixI recently bought a Lumos Matrix helmet (头盔) ($229) with built-in lights to make riding my bike at night a lot safer and less stressful. It’s a regular pain point for bikers like me to make sure absent-minded drivers see you, especially when it’s dark. This definite ly helps.—Matt mcfarland, Writer Goodreads appAlthough this isn’t a gift, the free Goodreads app is a gamechanger. At the beginning of 2019, I promised myself I’d read at least one new book every month. I set a goal of 12 books on Goodreads and used it to track my progress, keep a list of books I’m interested in and check out what friends and others on the app were recommending. I read 35 books this year!(That’s up from five books last year.) Goodreads feels like one of the rare feel-good social networks.—Kaya Yurieff, Tech Reporter Ember coffee cupI drink my coffee slowly so it has routinely cooled by the time I get halfway through it. For my birthday, my mum bought me a cup ($99), which keeps my coffee warm until I finish it without trips to the microwave for reheating. I can also set the specific temperature I want. It makes my mornings so much easier.— Millie Dent, Intern 1. What is the main advantage of Lumos Matrix helmet?A. Helping drivers concentrate.B. Managing the bad weather.C. Making night riding safer.D. Making bikers less painful.2. What does the writer mean by referring to the Goodreads app as “a gamechanger”?A. It changes some readers’ reading rules.B. It provides readers with free internet games.C. It limits the number of books a reader can read.D. It inspires readers to read more through interactions.3. Which of the following can best describe Ember coffee cup?A. Eco-friendly.B. Convenient.C. Expensive.D. Simple.BEvery year, the brightest young scientists from around the globe come together to participate in the world’s largest pre-college science competition, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). They demonstrate their knowledge of science and engineering to improve the way we work and live.One of 2019’s winners, Katie Lu, found a method for removing oil from water. This concept can also be applied to the removal of microplastics from our oceans as well.Here is what Katie told reporters:My experience at Intel ISEF was amazing! I remember on judging day, walking the exhibit hall and looking at the people gathered outside waiting to get in. My teacher turned to me and said, “That’s the future right there.” It was so amazing to spend time wi th all of these participants who are going to do amazing things in the future.My scientific career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be afraid to ask for help. It’s really easy to be overwhelmed (挫败) and wonder if what you’re doing is going to work out, but even if it doesn’t, it’s OK! Always look on the positive side! A failure now doesn’t mean you’re a failure forever. Failure makes success feel earned when it comes. Also, asking for help is good when you’re struggling. You learn how to do thi ngs a lot faster and more efficiently.I’m shocked that some people are still skeptical about climate change. It is real, it is dangerous and it is one of the most important issues of our generation. Reducing carbon emissions isn’t a “should”, it is a “must” to continue living on the planet. Additionally, people aren’t really worried about their personal impact on the earth in terms of littering, overusing plastic or wasting resources.If we don’t curb harmful human activity before it’s too late, it will b e a problem that affects all humans, not just those that contribute.4. What seems to concern Katie most?A. Ocean exploration.B. The overpopulation on the earth.C. Environmental problems.D. The shortage of natural energy.5. What can we lear n from what Katie’s teacher said?A. No Intel ISEF, no future.B. All the talents are at the Intel ISEF.C. The participants will make the future amazing.D. Katie should try to do better than the other participants.6. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us？A. The setbacks Katie experienced in her science.B. The relationship between failure and success.C. Seeking help is a shortcut to doing things well.D. What Katie has gained from her scientific career.7. What does the underlined word “curb” in the last paragraph most probably mean?A. Punish.B. Control.C. Deny.D. Measure.CThe Underwater Photographer of the Year, which originated from 1965, is a yearly contest based in the United Kingdom. As you might expect, the focus is on photos taken under water, whether in the ocean, in lakes or rivers, or even swimming pools.The pictures are judged in several different categories. The contest in 2019 had over 5,500 entries from 70 different countries.The grand prize winner was “Frozen Mobile Home” byFrench photographer Greg Lecoeur. The photo shows sealsswimming around a small iceberg. To get the picture, Mr. Lecoeurtraveled to Antarctica in a small boat and spent time tracking thelife around floating icebergs.The photo “Last Dawn, Last Gasp” by Pasquale Vassallo of Italywon the award for Ocean Protection Photographer of the Year. Mr.Vassallo said that he went diving early in the morning to take thispicture of a tuna (金枪鱼) trapped as fishermen pulled their nets in.Mr. Vassallo also took “Octopus Training”, a picturethat won in the category of “Behavior”. He says that whenhe came up after a dive, he noticed a soccer ball floating onthe surface. When he went to check it out, he saw that therewas an octopus hanging from the ball. Mr. Vassallo says hedoesn’t understand what the octopus was doing, but wonders if it was training for the World Cup.Though Rooman Luc of Belgium didn’t win the “Portrait” category, his photo, titled “Angry Seahorse”, is quite striking. The close-up shot of a seahorse staring strictly into the camera was named runner up (second place). He said he spent nearly an hour standing in knee-high water being bitten by mosquitos in order to get the picture.The contest has many more amazing photos that can be viewed on the site, along with the stories behind them. There is even a book with all of the contents that can be downloaded for free.8. Which isn’t suitable to enter the Underwater Photographer of the Year contest?A. The crying dolphin.B. Saving the elephant.C. The dancing lemon shark.D. Kissing the whale.9. In which section of a website can we read the text?A. Arts.B. Literature.C. Documentary.D. Education.10. What is the photo “Last Dawn, Last Gasp” aimed to tell us?A. A tuna is hard to shoot.B. We should protect ocean animals.C. Diving early in the morning is painful.D. There are too many fishing nets in the sea.11. What can we learn from the photo of “Octopus Training”?A. The Octopus is endangered.B. Photo-taking should be serious.C. The photographer has a sense of humor.D. The photographer is concerned about the Octopus.DIf you’ve ever been on a fishing boat, you’ve probably seen crowds of birds following it, hoping to catch a snack. Now scientists use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats.Researchers attached data loggers to the backs of 169 albatrosses (信天翁) in Indian oceans. Weighing only 42 grams, the devices included a GPS, which enabled them to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals emitting from boats. That information was then sent by satellite, so the researchers could track the location of the birds—and thus the radar-emitting boats—in real time.The scientists then cross-checked that data against the known locations of boats, collected from a system boats use to declare themselves, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And noticeable differences appeared frequently.More than a third of the times the birds “loggers” detected radar signals, and therefore a boat, but no such boat appeared in the official log—meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their AIS—something that probably happens in illegal fishing operations.The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitoring tool as long as illegal fishing operations don’t target the birds.Fortunately, such a task would be difficult. Around fishing boats, you can find hundreds of birds at any one time that are flying around. And the birds with loggers are not marked in any way. So it’s not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird.But what concerns researchers is that albatrosses often get caught by some fishing boats. Though regulations have been established to protect against that happening—with success—illegal boats don’t necessarily obey. So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations.12. What characteristic of albatrosses do scientists take advantage of in their research?A. Their feeding patterns.B. Their sense of direction.C. Their greedy behaviors.D. Their habit of following fishing boats.13. For what purpose does a boat shut off its AIS?A. To seek more fishes.B. To have it mistaken for another.C. To avoid being detected.D. To save the trouble of declaring itself.14. What does “such a task” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. Identifying birds with loggers.B. Monitoring illegal boats.C. Tracking radar signals automatically.D. Fishing illegally.15. What could be the best title for the text?A. AIS: an Effective System to Locate BoatsB. Humans Are Good at Discovering Birds’ NatureC. Data Loggers Help Fishermen Get a Good HarvestD. Scientists Use Birds to Track Illegal Fishing Operations第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020届烟台市第四中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe Internet has revolutionized our lives to such an extent (程度) that for most people, the global network has become more than just a tool but rather an important aid in everyday life. More and more people go online as wireless networks have brought the Internet closer and closer: it’s on our mobile phones, in our cars and TV sets, in hospital surgery rooms and in fishing boats that battle the waves of the Atlantic.And this revolution has brought along with it a new way of shopping. Both big and small, e-business websites have flooded the Internet by the hundreds of thousands. Anything you can buy from a brick and mortar store (实体店) you can also buy online: from food and clothes to toys, no matter what you’re looking for, you’re bound to find the right online store with just a few clicks of the mouse. You can use the Internet to find new suppliers, post buying requests or search for products and services.This revolution has affected brick and mortar business owners greatly. And what was their reaction? They’ve opened online stores to go hand in hand with their conventional business.But do the big players have reasons to be afraid? Are we going to start seeing ghostly, deserted Walmarts (沃尔玛) across the country? Probably not in the near future but the day will come when most people will just stop shopping offline anymore. A trip to Walmart wastes time, burns gas.The recent advancements in mobile technology and the introduction of mobile phones with enhanced (提高的) web capabilities have even made some people order their groceries when they get out from work and have them delivered at their doorstep by the time they get home. And as “Time is money”, this practice is lifesaving for people whowork two jobs.Technology will continue to advance and e-business will follow closely in its footsteps. Everything will become easier and less time consuming, leaving us more time to enjoy the things that really matter in life: the ones we love, our friends and hobbies.1. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The popularity of mobile phones.B. The great influence of the Internet.C. The importance of the Internet.D. The function of the global network.2. In response to the threat of online business, the brick-and-mortar store owners________.A. have stopped their traditional businessB. have started their dislike of the InternetC. have established their own websiteD. have opened their online stores3. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A New Way of Shopping.B. The Internet Revolution.C. What is the Reaction to Online Shopping?D. Is Online Shopping the Future of E-business?BIf you could travel back in time, which period of history would you visit? It’s a great question to ask your friends, and time travel is the subject of many science fiction films. Of course, sci-fi is familiar to most of us, butwhat is cli-fi? The simple answer is climate fiction which focuses on the subject of climate change.Many of the cli-fi examples we watch tend to be disaster films. It could be solar flares (太阳耀斑), ice ages devastating (摧毁) the planet, extreme flooding swamping the earth with water, or super-storms that threaten life as we know it. While films and novels of this style are often subject to the typical images of a hero or heroine battling to save the day, what sets it apart from most sci-fi films is that the plots will often draw on apparently reasonable outcomes in the near future.Climate change and the potential threats have long been established. Some believe that the issue of climate change has even led to more fans watching films to learn more about what's happening to the world – seeing it as a form of edutainment. A study conducted by the Yale programme on Climate Change Communication tested the effects that two climate fiction novels can have on its readers and found “significant positive effects” in terms of their attitudes and beliefs towards the climate crisis – for example, understanding global warming will harm them and future generations.Most climate films are not only extremely popular action films, but also cause our fear of what some see as the approaching end of the world. This sounds bad, but according to a study conducted on 310 adults in the US, watching such scary films can help us feel more prepared and less alone in situations such as the pandemic (疫情). So, it looks like cli-fi is hereto stay – and there seem to be some benefits. Whether it’s there to educate, entertainor prepare you for a climate crisis, it might have a role to play.4. Which of the following may be the subject of cli-fi?A. Time travel.B. Global warming.C. Weather forecast.D. Economic climate.5. What can we learn about cli-fi films from paragraph 2?A. They are often about extreme natural disasters.B. They want to show that man can conquer nature.C. They usually have similar plots with sci-fi films.D. They can show the true near future of the world.6. Why is the study conducted by the Yale programme mentioned in paragraph 3?A. To prove that climate change has potential threats.B. To show that people like climate fiction novels.C. To tell that cli-fi novels have positive effects on readers.D. To explain how the climate crisis affect the human being.7. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Cli-fi films are very popular as action films.B. A study was conducted on 310 adults in theUS.C. The pandemic make people scared and alone.D. Cli-fi films are useful and will be here to stay.CThe Nez Perce Indians are a tribe that lived in the Pacific Northwest of theUnited States. At the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition (探险队) , which was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again, the Nez Perce territory (领土) covered about 17 million acres, covering parts of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Butthat was a brief sweet history.In September 1805, when Lewis and Clark came off theRockieson their westward journey, the entire exploring party was hungry and ill -- too weak to defend themselves.Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them, they could have put an end to the Lewis and Clark expedition there on the banks ofClearwater River. Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery. Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans. But white men’s greed for land and gold finally broke the friendship.In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens ofWashingtonTerritoryinvited the Nez Perce to a peace conference. He said there were a great many white people in the country, and many more would come. But the Chief of the tribe at that time, Old Joseph, replied, “Take away your paper. I will not touch it with my hand.”Things were quiet for a while after that, but not for long. When Old Joseph died, the chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph. In the late 1870s, government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave theWallowaValleyand then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the white soldiers. After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1,600 miles to-wards Canada in an attempt to retreat(撤退) north, Young Joseph, gave in to the United States Army. Here was his famous statement, “Hear me my chiefs. I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.”In 1885, Chief Joseph was sent along with manyof his band to the Colville Reservation inWashingtonwhere Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years, at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reservation.(保留地，居留地)8. What isTRUEabout the Lewis andClark expedition?A. They were well cared for by the Nez Perce.B. They ended their expedition on the banks ofClearwater River.C. They started the first battle with the Nez Perce.D. They were the first Americans to travel from theAtlanticto the Pacific.9. What ended the friendship between the Nez Perce and the Whites?A. Old Joseph’s proud mannerB. White men’s increasing demand for land and goldC. A growing number of white men in the landD The breakdown of the peace talk10. Young Joseph gave in at last because ________.A. he grew olderB. he was terribly illC. he hated the warD. he lost other chiefs’ support11. The passage might be followed by a paragraph about ________.A. the customs and traditions of the Nez Perce IndiansB. the last years of Chief Joseph in the Colville ReservationC. lasting fights between the Nez Perce and the whitesD. constant conflicts between the Nez Perce and other tribesDAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism. Their critics(批评家)seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays.The poor old consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn't forget is the “small ads.” What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column(栏目) but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It's the best advertisement for advertising there is!12. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Advertisements steal money from our pocketsB. The critics get the wrong idea of advertisements.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. Advertisements are everywhere.13. What is the attitude of the author toward advertisements?A. He appreciates the role of advertisements.B. He doubts the effect of advertisements.C. He believes what is said in advertisements.D. He complains too many advertisements in daily life.14. Which of the following is Not True?A. The personal or “agony” column makes us know more about human nature.B. The only purpose of advertising is to sell goods.C. A newspaper will cost us more if there is no advertisement on it.D. Advertisement makes our life color1 ful.15. Whicof the following shows the structure of the passage?( ①=" Paragraph" 1, ②=" paragraph" 2, ③=" paragraph" 3, ④=" paragraph" 4 ⑤=" paragraph" 5)A B.C.

"Why not me?" she asked herself when she saw an open casting call for Mindy Kaling's coming — of — age comedy series Never Have I Ever. It was a good question, and coincidentally, also the name of Kaling's 2015 biography.Despite having no professional acting experience, Ramakrishnan got the job. The young actress plays a character named Devi whose life story is inspired by Kaling's own. Ramakrishnan credits her best friend for helping her stay confident throughout the audition （试演）process. She filmed an audition video and submitted it. About one month later, she got a phone call from Kaling and screenwriter Lang Fisher. "Theytold me that I got the role/5Ramakrishnan said. "I was in complete shock. I just kept saying, “My life is completely going to change.'"As a woman of color starring in a Netflix series, Ramakrishnan was honored as a Groundbreaker for International Day of the Girl in 2019.

Coffee is just one of the many industries that use automated （自动化的）services in this technologically forward-thinking nation. Others include restaurants, food stores, banks and manufacturers. The development comes as many Koreans, especially the young, are struggling to findwork.Just this week, workers who operate about 2,500 large cranes （吊车）at building sites went on strike. They were against the growing use of robotic small cranes for building. Other labor unions also have opposed the use of automated devices instead of human workers at Emart, South Korea's biggest food store group.South Korean officials also changed plans to completely automate the nation's road fee collection system. They acted after receiving blame for cutting 6,700 jobs. Instead, the system will be partly automated and keep all its existing human fee collectors.South Korea had the highest percentage of robots to human workers in the world in 2017. The International Federation of Robotics says South Korea has 710 robots for every 10,000 manufacturing workers. The international average is 85 robots per 10,000 employees.South Korea's lowest permitted worker wage has increased by 27.3% over the last two years. This has led more businesses to cut labor costs by using automation, says Suh Yong Gu of the Business School at Sookmyung Women's University in Seoul.Even with the job losses, South Korea's businesses are replacing employees with automation and young people are welcoming the change. Suh said, "Nowadays, Millennials — those who were born after 1980 --- are prime consumers. This generation tends not to like meeting other people, so they favor technology that enables people to minimize face-to-face interactions."8. Why did construction workers go on strike this week?A. 6,700 workers had been out of work.B. They feared being replaced by robots.C. Their wages were cut down by 27.3%.D. Their demand for a pay rise was refused.9. What do we know about the young generation in South Korea?A. They're less competitive in modem world.B. They're victims of modem high technology.C. They're unwilling to communicate face to face.D. They're strongly against the use of automation.10. What can we infer from the text?A. South Korea produced the most robots in 2017.B. Human fee collectors are partly replaced by robots.C. Robots have taken the place of humans in building.D. It's still controversial to make full use of robots.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Robots Made Their First Appearance in CafesB. Koreans Are Ready for Challenges from RobotsC. Automation: A Double-edged Sword in Job MarketD. South Korea: A Leading Country in TechnologyDWhen our Scottish puppy （幼犬）reached doggie adolescence, she suddenly stopped obeying my commands. Our dog trainer advised us to stop worrying. "She's a teenager, she said. "She'll grow out of it." Now, a new study is backing that up: Dogs experience an extremely sensitive period at the beginning of adolescence that makes them act out, just like human teenagers.To see exactly how adolescence changes dog behavior, the researchers monitored 70 female German shepherds raised as potential guide dogs. They asked caregivers to score the puppies on their attachment and attention-seeking behaviors, such as sitting very close to their owner or displaying a particularly strong bond for one person.Dogs with high scores on either scale entered adolescence earlier — at about 5 months, compared with 8 months for those with lower scores. Various reasons cause human teenage girls with poor parental relationships to also enter adolescence at a younger age. Thus, similar to humans, dogs that have tense relationships with their caregivers see changes in their reproductive development.To test obedience （顺从），the scientists assessed a separate group of 69 guide dogs, first at 5 months and later at 8 months. They asked the dog's caregiver and a stranger to give the commandto “sit". All of the preadolescent puppies quickly sat for both people, but when the same puppies reached adolescence, many "repeatedly" refused to follow the order from their caregiver. However, they readily and annoyingly obeyed the stranger. Dogs that weren't securely attached to their caregivers were even morewilling to follow the stranger's commands — again, much like human teenagers.Because of the similarities between adolescent puppies and humans, dogs could serve as a model species for studying adolescence in humans, the scientists say. And on a more practical note, the temporary nature of dog disobedience might make us worry less when our puppies suddenly get minds of their own.12. What makes the Scottish puppy disobey its owner?A. Its being treated badly.B. Its naughty nature.C. Its relation with the owner.D. Its being adolescent.13. What do the scores in the study suggest?A. Higher scores probably mean earlier adolescence.B. The lower the score, the tenser the relationship.C. A puppy with a lower score could be a guide dog.D. A girl scoring higher gets on well with her parents.14. What is the result of the obedience test?A. Human teens have a strong bond with puppies.B. Puppies enter adolescence at the age of 5 months.C. The 69 guide dogs can understand caregivers well.D. Adolescent dogs without enough care prefer to follow the stranger.15 What's the potential significance of the study?A. To understand your dog's behavior.B. To better study human adolescence.C. To show the process of a research.D. To help pet owners solve a puzzle.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。

第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分,满分37.5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。

AWith over 2.4 million visitors every year, Cinque Terre is one of the most-visited regions in Italy. Cinque Terreis truly special. The five candy-colored fishing villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Comiglia, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare are built into cliffs over the clean and brightly-shining Ligurian Sea. Whether you’re visiting the region for a few days or a few weeks, these are the experiences you should add to your trip pleasure.★Take a scenic hike.It’s easy to visit each of the attractive villages on foot. The most popular hike is the coastal path Sentiero Azzuro.It links all five villages and offers extremely beautiful scenery of the sea, architecture and vineyards(葡萄园). It takes about six hours to go across, with short breaks, but most people are going to stop in the villages for food and swimming.★Eat seafood in a cone(锥形).Dessert lovers might think that Italian ice-cream is the best thing to be served in a cone but make room for seafood cones as well. Thanks to its coastal location, Cinque Terre is full of seafood restaurants.★Get on a boat.If the weather cooperates, take the time to get out on the water. The villages look very beautiful from a boat. The cheapest and easiest way is to jump on the public ferry from one of the villages to the next, but these boats are often crowded. It’s far more relaxing to take a private cruise, which departs from the docks in Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare.★Take the train.Cinque Terre’s train system is one of the most scenic in Europe. The high-speed train runs through each of thefive villages every 20 minutes or so. And the whole line is directly on the coast, offering lovely views of the Ligurian Sea and rocky cliffs.1. What is special about the five candy-colored fishing villages?A. Their special location.B. Their long history.C. Their delicious foods.D. Their friendly villagers.2. What is the favorite food for the hikers in the five villages?A. Italian noodles.B. Italian ice-cream.C. Italian wines.D. Seafood cones.3. What is the best way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food?A. Taking a private ferry to the villages.B. Walking with short breaks on the coast.C. Taking a scenic hike along the coastal path.D. Taking the train running through the villages.BIt can be a real struggle trying to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children’s books printed in the target language.At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, but then I realized thateveryone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarize our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot.As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter of your chosen children’s book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story. Additionally, a lot of children’s books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.4. Why was the author advised to read children’s books?A. She was weak in reading great works.B. She was slow to learn language.C. She liked children’s literature.D. She couldn’t remember any words.5. What can be got from children’s books according to the passage?A. V ocabulary and listening skills.B. Learning methods.C. Words and structures.D. Designing skills.6. What surprised the author while reading children’s books?A. Grasping the context from the pictures.B. Looking up the definitions of words from a dictionary.C. Getting familiar with the plots of the story.D. Understanding the words simply from the context.7. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Reading Children’s BooksB. The Way of Learning LanguagesC. The Method of Using DictionaryD. My Good Reading HabitsCWith self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots forthe final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in SnohomishCounty, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.To accelerate Scout’s development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likelyrequires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all times-if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reachconsumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.8.What are many companies developing autonomous robots for?A. Final tests.B. The so-called last mile.C. Robots’ safety.D. Delivery speed.9.What can we infer about Scout from paragraph 2?A. It looks like a cooler.B. It adjusts its speed accordingly.C. Its sensors play a key role.D. It will be widely used soon.10.What does the underlined phrase "prior to" in paragraph 4 mean?A. beforeB. afterC. in front ofD. due to11.From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A newspaper.D. A travel brochure.DWood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable(耐用的), easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent(透明的).Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the material may even beable to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin (木质素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物) and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips,the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semi-transparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturersimprove their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.12. What does the underlined part "that feature" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Cheapness.B. Durability.C. Sustainability.D. Transparency.13. Which of the following is not the process in which the transparent wood is made?A. Dip the wood into a polymer.B. Reduce the amount of the polymer.C. Make the wood lignin-free.D. Bake the wood for some time.14. What’s the purpose of using the transparent wood in buildings?A. To protect privacy.B. To scale out applications.C. To get more natural light.D. To observe more clearly.15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The bright future of the transparent wood.B. The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C. The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D. Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2024届山西省高三下学期高考英语模拟试题一、阅读理解1、New York City has many remarkable parks and open ces that are perfect for hanging out in warm weather. Here are four of our favorite places to take a scenic walk, plus where to eat nearby.Louis Valentino, Jr. ParkDon’t let all of the factories fool you — Louis Valentino, Jr. Park has the best view of the Statue of Liberty. When you get hungry, stop by Red Hook Lobster Pound for mayo-coated lobster (龙虾). Sit at one of the cafe’s first come, first served outdoor tables, or eat on the waterfront.Riverside ParkStretching 4 miles from 72nd to 158th St, Riverside Park is perfect for hanging out along the Hudson River, enjoying beautiful views of New Jersey. If walking the whole way isn’t your thing, there’s a bike path too. Daily Provisions offers fantastic sandwich choices, like juicy chicken and smoked bacon.Central ParkThere are many reasons to walk through Central Park this spring: historic landmarks, great bird watching spots, and hanging out with friends. And while these are enjoyable activities, they’re even better with a pastrami sandwich from Pastrami Queen.Ridgewood ReservoirAt Ridgewood Reservoir, you’ll find an easy hiking spot with a peaceful nature preserve and skyline views of Manhattan. After hiking, head to Rolo’s for various sandwich options. It has outdoor tables but no heaters, so you can take everything to go if it’s too cold out.【小题1】What is the best spot for enjoying views of the Statue of Liberty?【小题2】What makes Riverside Park an attractive destination?【小题3】Where is this article most likely sourced from?2、Charlie Jeffers, 17, a senior at Redwood High School in Marin County, Calif., has loved Lego since age 4. His room is full of Lego bricks. Noticing his friends start throwing away their old Lego collections, he hatched a plan. “Legos are pricey,” he noted. “Many can’t afford them.”He started collecting unwanted Lego parts from friends and neighbors, spreading the word through community notices and door-to-door visits.The response was surprising. Donations of old Lego sets poured in, propelling Jeffers to formalize his efforts under the banner of Pass the Bricks. Together with a dedicated team of volunteers, Jeffers and his teammates carefully clean, sort, and repurpose collected Lego pieces into imaginative sets. These sets, each with roughly 20 to 60 pieces, are carefully made to create scenes such as blind dates or family photoshoots. Since its start in 2020, Pass the Bricks has made a significant success. With over 3,000 sets donated to date, Jeffers and his team are driven by two purposes: to reduce landfill waste and to provide Legos to children who might otherwise go without. Jeffers stresses the educational value of Lego, emphasizing its capacity to inspire creativity and learning.Pass the Bricks has since expanded its reach nationwide, with volunteers in several states distributing sets to local charities. To ensure each set is presented with care, Jeffers uses donations and personal funds from his job at a gym to purchase affordable cardboard gift boxes online. These sets, accompanied by instructions and a photo of the finished product, are distributed to various organizations and directly to children at local schools.Despite his approaching to college, Jeffers remains devoted to his commitment to Pass the Bricks. He plans to continue and expand the initiative, driven by a desire to share the joy and educational benefits of Lego with as many children as possible. “We’re grateful to share them with the kids and families we serve,” Jeffers expresses. Reflecting on his own Lego-filled childhood, he acknowledges its profound influence. “I aim to provide others with the same chance,” he emphasizes, echoing his ongoing commitment to sharing the joy of Lego with all.【小题1】What is the primary purpose of Pass the Bricks?【小题2】Which best replaces the word “propelling” in paragraph 2?【小题3】How does Jeffers ensure that each set is presented with care?【小题4】What does Jeffers hope to achieve by continuing Pass the Bricks?3、If you’re lucky enough to live near forests, you’ll know that it’s cooler under the trees during hot mid-days. Even if you live in a city with more buildings than trees, visiting a local park or garden can help you stay cool.A study from the University of Surrey in the UK found that botanical gardens can make city air cooler by up to 5 degrees Celsius. Wetlands and rain gardens aren’t far behind, cooling the air by about 4.7 and 4.5 degrees Celsius. Trees along streets also help, lowering air temperatures by 3.8 degrees Celsius, while city parks can make it 3.2 degrees Celsius cooler.The paper notes that an air temperature of 40.3℃ (104.5℉) broke records in the UK on July 19, 2022. Some 62, 862 deaths were linked to summer heat across Europe in the same year, while the 2003 heatwave in Europe led to an economic loss of €16 billion due to drought and crop failures. According to the IPCC, “green and blue urban infrastructure (基础设施) elements, including parks, engineered greening projects, wetlands, green walls, and botanical gardens, are particularly effective in reducing air temperatures in cities”.We’ve already seen a number of architecture projects around the world employ large amounts of greenery to promote local cooling, along with beneficial landscaping. However, it’s important to recognize that there isn’t one simple solution to suit every site, and much will depend on effective planning.“Our paper confirms just how many ways there are to keep cool,” added Professor Maria de Fatima Andrade at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. "But it also reveals how much work is left to do. Institutions around the world need to invest in the right research-because what’s very clear from our study is that there is no universal solution. It depends on what works for your community.”【小题1】What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs?【小题2】Why does the author mention “Europe” in paragraph 3?【小题3】What does Professor Andrade emphasize about cooling solutions?【小题4】What might be a suitable title for the passage?4、 A team of scientists from the Center for Cognition and Sociality and the Data Science Group at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) made an exciting discovery about how computers and human brains work similarly when remembering things. They found out that the way artificial intelligence (AI) models, like those in smart robots, store memories is a lot like how our brain’s memory center, called the hippocampus (海马体), does it. This part of the brain is really important for feelings and memories.Understanding how AI learns and keeps information is key to making it smarter. The scientists looked into how our brains learn and remember by focusing on a special process involving the NMDA receptor, a critical part of the hippocampus. This receptor works like a smart door in our brain that helps with learning and remembering. It opens when certain brain chemicals are present, allowing the cell to receive signals and create memories. A specific element, magnesium, acts like a guard, only letting substances in under the right conditions.Interestingly, the team found that Transformer, a type of AI model, uses a similar “guarding”method to manage its memory. They wondered if they could make the Transformer’s memory better by copying the brain’s process. By adjusting some settings in the Transformer to mimic (模拟、模仿) the brain’s memory door, they improved its ability to remember things long-term, just like adjusting magnesium levels can affect how well we remember stuff.This discovery is a big deal because it shows we can use what we know about the brain to make AI smarter. C. Justin LEE, a neuroscience (神经学) director at the institute, mentioned that this research was a big step forward for both AI and brain science. It opens up new ways to understand how the brain works and to create more advanced AI based on these insights.So, in simple terms, scientists have figured out that computers can learn and remember in ways that are surprisingly similar to us, which could help make them even smarter in the future.【小题1】What does the term “NMDA receptor” in paragraph 2 most likely refer to?【小题2】What did the team discover about Transformer?【小题3】What is the significance of the research findings according to C. Justin LEE?【小题4】What is the main idea of the passage?5、How to Develop Critical Thinking SkillsThere’s no magic method to change your thinking processes. Improvement happens with small, intentional changes in your everyday habits until a more critical approach to thinking is automatic. Here are some tips for building stronger self-awareness and learning how to improve critical thinking:Be careful【小题1】. One of the key principles of critical thinking is asking questions and analyzing the available information. You might surprise yourself at what you find when you stop to think before taking action. Before making a decision, use evidence, logic, and reasoning to support your own opinions or challenge ideas. 【小题2】.Ask open-ended questions“Yes” or “no” questions invite agreement rather than reflection. 【小题3】. Digging deeper can help you identify potential biases, uncover assumptions, and arrive at new possible solutions.Learn to be quietActive listening is the intentional practice of concentrating on a conversation partner instead of your own thoughts. 【小题4】. If you’re brainstorming with your team or having a 1:1 with a coworker, listen, ask clarifying questions, and work to understand other people’s viewpoints. This will help you find weaknesses in arguments for better solutions.Put it downRecording your thoughts with pen and paper can lead to stronger brain activity than typing them out on a keyboard. If you’re stuck and want to think more critically about a problem, writing your ideas can help you process information more deeply. 【小题5】. Ideas are more likely to remain in the background of your mind, leading to deeper thinking that informs your decision-making process.二、完形填空6、One sunny afternoon, Lily found a lost kitten hiding behind a bush.

expertise.In the highly reviewed Shakespeare(2007),he raced us through the playwright’s life and works in222pages;A Short History of Nearly Everything(2003)was his624-page analysis of“everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilisation”—and it remains the best-selling science book of the21st century so far.Can he make it again with A Really Short Journey Through the Body,which promises us a“head to toe”tour in138pages?In his books for adult readers,Bryson’s success has lain in an ability to turn vast,complex subjects into an easy and pleasant narrative,filled with tiny facts and odd stories.His latest book,which follows his adult title The Body (2020),is aimed at children as young as eight,for whom this proven writing style works well.“No doubt about it,the human body is a truly remarkable thing,”Bryson writes,and it’s the remarkable facts that interest him the most.Did you know that you blink14,000times a day?Or that it takes seven billion billion billion atoms to make you?And that if you formed all your DNA into a single line,it would reach10billion miles across the solar system?Fresh doctors might find some of the entries frustratingly brief.The tongue,for example,receives only a paragraph,while,a chapter,entitled‘Poo and Farts’,is relatively detailed:“In your life,you’ll probably poo the weight of5cars but you’ll have eaten the weight of60.So that’s not a terrible result.”Biology books can be heavy weather;but Bryson’s skill,as ever,is to turn the story of the human body into a thoroughly digestible read.4.What do Bryson’s latest book and The Body(2020)have in common?A.They are easy to read.B.They are both about physics.C.They are intended for adults.D.They are both best-selling books.5.What is the purpose of Paragraph3?A.To analyze the structure of the book.B.To illustrate the attraction of the book.C.To show the scientific value of the book.D.To display the main contents of the book.6.What does the underlined phrase“heavy weather”mean in the last paragraph?A.Packed with facts.B.Weather-related.C.Hard to understand.D.Popular and readable.7.What is the text?A.An introduction to a book.B.An essay on biology.C.A news report on science.D.A biography of a writer.CStrategically adding weak points along microscopic chains called polymers(高分子聚合物)actually makes them harder to tear,researchers report in the June23Science.Polymers are used in car tires,and therefore the findings could help reduce plastic pollution as tires wear down over time.When tires rub against the road,they drop microplastics of rubber and plastic polymers,which pollute waterways and air.Every year,tires release an estimated6million metric tons of these microplastics into environment.Stronger polymers that break apart less easily could limit the amount of particles shed annually.To make such tough materials,Stephen Craig,a chemist at Duke University,and colleagues added molecules called cross-linkers to the polymers.These cross-linkers connected these polymer chains to their many neighbors,and they were specifically designed to break apart easily.At the microscopic scale,the polymers act like a tangle(乱团)of spaghetti with the cross-linkers holding them all together and helping them keep their shape,says Craig’s collaborator Shu Wang,a chemist at MIT.When the team stretched the polymer spaghetti,the individual cross-linkers broke easily, as expected.But the larger tangle material required more force to break than they expected.The secret to the increased toughness lies in the path the tear has to take,Craig says.The tear goes through the easy-to-break cross-linkers rather than through the tougher polymer chains.Each broken connection follows the path of least resistance but avoiding the long polymer chains means breaking many cross-linkers,which requires more stretching force overall.This isn’t the first time researchers have used weak connectors to make polymers stronger.But unlike in similar materials,the increased toughness doesn’t come at the expense of other beneficial properties like stiffness(风度). Craig says he hopes the findings will help extend the lifetimes of car tires and plastics,potentially limiting annual microplastic pollution.8.What benefit does the new material bring?A.It meets the road standard.B.It weakens plastic polymers.C.It releases less microplastics.D.It reduces the cost of car tires.9.What can we know about the tangle material?A.It follows the pattern of spaghetti.B.It is designed to fall apart easily.C.The polymers help keep its shape.D.The larger tangle is harder to break.10.What is the primary factor that contributes to the increased toughness?A.The weakness of the cross-linker.B.The strength of the polymer chains.C.The number of the cross-linkers used.D.The path the tear takes through the material.11.What can we learn about the finding?A.It initially uses weak connectors.B.It sacrifices stiffness for toughness.C.It lengthens the lifespan of car tires.D.It removes annual microplastic pollution.DEver feel disconnected during a stressful event?That could be your brain protecting you.During traumatic(痛苦的)situations,people might experience an unexpected wave of emotional indifference or feel like they’ve separated from reality and are having an out-of-body experience.These symptoms of disconnect describe dissociation,a defense mechanism that separates threatening feelings and ideas from the rest of someone’s mind.But why do our minds sometimes dissociate when we’re experiencing stressful events?Typically,the sympathetic nervous system,which is responsible for our“fight or flight”response,activates when a person is in upcoming physical danger.Mammals,including humans,evolved to have this response,as it pushes them to survive by fighting or escaping from danger.Dissociation is another way the nervous system is ready to respond to trauma when fight or flight appears to be too dangerous or impossible.Dissociation can protect someone in the moment so that they are mentally separated from a situation causing physical pain,emotional pain or both.Oftentimes,victims of abuse report dissociation during the event or having foggy memories of an event after the fact due to dissociation.Nevertheless,problems can arise if people continue to dissociate even once they’re separated from the intense trauma,as opposed to relying on other coping mechanisms,for example,help from a professional.Many people who continue to dissociate often struggle with daily stress,like meeting work deadlines or speaking with peers.Many feel disconnected in their relationships and may find themselves unconcentrated during what used to be usual interactions or tasks.But the goal of addressing long-term dissociation isn’t to do away with it.After all,it can be a useful strategy to help survive a dangerous situation.But memories of the traumatic event are often disruptive and painful,so having some distance from that could mean a better quality of life after the trauma.12.What is the main idea of Paragraph1?A.It defines what dissociation is.B.It emphasizes the value of dissociation.C.It lists different symptoms of disconnect.D.It explains why we experience stressful events.13.How does dissociation work on victims of abuse?A.By erasing their memories.B.By getting rid of their emotional pain.C.By protecting victims from physical pain.D.By distancing the victims mentally from the reality.14.What might happen if people continue to dissociate?A.Failing to focus on tasks.B.Meeting work deadlines.C.Having a better quality of life.D.Relying on other coping mechanisms.15.Which of the following might the author agree with?A.Traumatic events are avoidable.B.Dissociation needs to be handled properly.C.People’s well-being is based on the distance.D.There’re enough coping strategies for traumas.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

阅读理解之议论文-2020年高考英语4-5月最新全国卷模拟题汇编（2020届安徽六校教育研究会高三第二次素质测试）The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said, “Every child is an artist. The problem he has is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”This is both encouraging and discouraging. The fact that we were all born to be artists is certainly exciting, and yet the reality has proven that remaining one is a task that many of us have failed.Fortunately, some people have seen the problem and want to solve it.Western educators have suggested that we introduce the concept of “STEAM” instead of “STEM” - traditional “core majors” including science, technology, engineering, and math -since the “A”, which stands for “arts”, is just as important.And on April 11, China’s Ministry of Education issued a guid eline. Colleges and universities are required to provide more art-related courses and students need to earn a certain number of art credits in order to graduate.These efforts came after many scientific studies had found that art education helps students develop self-confidence and teamwork skills, as well as habits of mind such as problem solving and critical thinking, according to The Washington Post.It’s true that none of these skills target specific jobs. But as former US ballet dancer DamianWoetzel t old The Atlantic, the purpose of art is “to give kids the tools to become adults who are creative, adaptable, and expressive - capable of having their eyes and ears and senses alive”.And we can now see how we lost track of our born “artist self” on our way to growing up: We failed to keep our capabilities to see, hear and feel, and became blind, deaf and insensitive adults.Hopefully, art education can help turn things around.24．What is the function of the first paragraph?A．To introduce a famous artist. B．To summarize the whole passage. C．To lead in the topic. D．To encourage us to be artists. 25．Why should the concept of “STEAM” be introduced according to western educators?A．Art is as important as traditional “core majors”.B．All of us should learn art in college.C．Traditional “core majors” are out of date.D．Western education is more helpful.26．What can we predict from the guideline issued by China’s Ministry of education? A．More art-related courses will appear in all schools.B．College students will have to gain enough art credits to graduate.C．More students will major in art at colleges and universities.D．Art will become much more important than science.27．What is the best title of the passage?A．Every child is an artist B．Bringing art to lifeC．Learning from the artists D．Life is art【答案】24．C 25．A 26．B 27．B【解析】本文是议论文。
