Case in point: tiny Mount Vernon, a town of just under 3,000 people. But if you do come across Mount Vernon, you might just get an intention to stay. That happens a lot around here, and it’s worth noting how remarkable that is.Tom Wilkinson was born in Mount Vernon 87 years ago and moved back after he retired from his career as a college English professor in Dallas. Like many of his neighbors, Wilkinson can track his ancestors back to the pioneers who settled here in the 1870s. And like many, he values the simple life you can’t easily find in big cities. “People are still polite. They hold the door open for you.” he says, “We grow strong roots here!”Preserving and honoring the past has been key to helping Mount Vernon survive. The residents have restored and reopened some of the empty stores, including the old barbershop, built more than 100 years ago. An old general store was turned into a combination space. Wander in on any given day and you might find a book club discussion, a Coffee Ladies meet-up, or a work session for the local genealogy(家谱) group among the tables of people chatting over cups of coffee and plates of food.Mount Vernon has the kind of big hearts you tend to find in a small town. For instance, when a local policeman was diagnosed with cancer last year, ten-year-old Lola McKellar set up a lemonade stand to raise money for his treatments. In 2015, when a 350-year flood sent water rushing into local homes, an army of volunteers showed up to get a wheelchair-bound neighbor and his wife to higher ground, and then came back to help rebuild.4. What does the author think of Mount Vernon?A. Remote.B. Wealthy.C. Primitive.D. Attractive.5. Why did Tom Wilkinson come back to Mount Vernon?A. He preferred the simple and natural life.B. He could continue his language teaching.C. He could live together with his ancestors.D. He could meet more neighbors of his age.6. What can we infer about people’s way of life in Mount Vernon from Paragraph 3?A. It is in danger of extinction.B. It is quickly changing over time.C. It is conservative but harmonious.D. It is being disturbed by the outside world.7. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The history of Mount Vernon.B. The humanity of Mount Vernon.C. The volunteers of Mount Vernon.D. The reconstruction of Mount Vernon.CAndrew Orkin was taking a break from his evening jog to sit by Prospect Park Lake when he was frightened to see a mass of snakes. They turned out to be swamp eels(黄鳝) that had escaped from one of two large plastic bags that split open as a man dragged them to the shoreline. After dumping the eels in the lake, the man walked away, explaining to bystanders that “I just want to save lives.”The illegal release became a curiosity on social media, but the dumping of exotic(外来的) animals in urban parks isn’t new. New Yorkers free thousands of non-native animals every year. “People like animals and they sometimes think they’re doing a good thing by letting them go,” said Jason Munshi-South, an urban ecologist at Fordham University. “Most will die. Some will become a problem, and then there’s no going back.”New York state and city officials say it’s too soon to know how the eels in Prospect Park might affect local species. The eels eat almost anything including plants, insects, frogs, turtles and other fish. And they could prey(捕食) upon or compete with the park’s native species for however long they survive.There are no plans to eradicate the eels. Since they’re active at night and spend most of their time in the mud of lakes and rivers, spotting and removing them from the lake could be impossible. Officials say they will look for swamp eels during the agency’s next survey in the spring, but don’t expect them to make it through the winter. However, University of Toronto freshwater ecologist Nicholas Mandrak said, “Even if they don’t survive, they could have negative short-term effects.”8. Why did the man pour the eels into the lake?A. To challenge the law.B. To increase the local species.C. To keep the eels alive.D. To become a web celebrity.9. Why did the released eels become a concern?A. They might get caught once again.B. They might not adapt to the new environment.C. They might frighten the joggers by the lake.D. They might pose a threat to local species.10. What does the underlined word “eradicate” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Get rid of.B. Look after.C. Sell.D. Examine.11. What is the officials’ opinion about dealing with the problem?A. It is risky.B. It is tricky.C. It takes patience.D. It requires legal support.DThe scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme(酶) PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail” , which can digest plastic up to six times faster.PETase breaks down PET back into its building blocks, creating an opportunity to recycle plastic and reduce plastic pollution. PET is the most common thermoplastic(热塑性塑料) used to make single-use drinks bottles, which takes hundreds of years to break down in the environment, but PETase can shorten this time to days. The initial discovery set up the prospect of a revolution in plastic recycling, creating a potential low-energy solution to tackle plastic waste.Now, the same trans-Atlantic team have combined PETase and its “partner”, a second enzyme called MHETase, to generate much bigger improvements: simply mixing PETase with MHETase doubled the speed of PET breakdown, and engineering a connection between the two enzymes to create a “super-enzyme”, increased this activity by a further three times.The team was co-led by the scientists who engineered PETase, Professor John McGeehan and Dr Gregg Beckham. Professor McGeehan said: “Gregg and I were chatting about how PETase attacks the surface of the plastics and MHETase chops things up further, so it seemed natural to see if we could use them together. Our first experiments showed that they did work better together, so we decided to physically link them. It took a great deal of work, but it was worth the effort — we were delighted to see that our new enzyme is up to three times faster than the separate enzymes.”The original PETase enzyme discovery indicated the first hope that a solution to the global plastic pollution problem might be within grasp, though PETase alone is not yet fast enough to handle the tons of PET bottles. Combining it with a second enzyme, and finding together they work even faster, means another leap forward has been taken towards finding a solution to plastic waste. PETase and the new combined MHETase-PETase both work by digesting PET plastic. This allows for plastics to be made and reused endlessly, reducing our reliance on fossil(化石) resources.12. What can we learn about “cocktail” from the text?A. It doubles the breakdown of plastics.B. It takes hundreds of years to break down.C. It contributes to breaking down plastic quickly.D. It deals with the plastic waste three times faster.13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. A new study of PET.B. The breakdown of PET.C. The discovery of PETase.D. The functions of PETase.14. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Co-leading the trans-Atlantic team.B. Combining PETase and MHETase.C. Attacking the surface of the plastics.D. Talking about conducting experiments.15. What can we infer from the text?A. PET pollution is no longer a difficult problem to deal with.B. New enzyme is speeding up our reliance on fossil resources.C. MHETase-PETase makes the world free from plastic pollution.D. Plastic-eating enzyme “cocktail” promises new hope for plastic waste.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。

Throughout the year,I had advertised for participants at local elementary schools and recruited (招收) volunteers at local high schools. With the help of kind people,I applied for money. I was even able to secure a site for the program.But on the first day of camp,in spite of my careful planning ,things did not go the way I had hoped. Hector and Adrian exchanged blows with their racquet(球拍). Hector struggled to his feet moments later,covering a bloody nose with one hand. Georgie. and Eduardo threw balls at each other. Then during reading time ,I raced from joyless child to demanding child,unable to convince even one to open a book. They would rather be watching Nickelodeon at home,Eli told me,than“learning stupid tennis and reading boring books.”I dragged myself home that afternoon. That evening,I called my volunteers together for a meeting,and redesigned the entire curriculum. We created a good-fellow system,where each volunteer paired with a camper to help him or her during reading time. To emphasize praise and progress,we established weekly prize ceremonies ,presenting awards for most improved reading, tennis and behavior.Then Mylea shut the book and asked me,"Can I take this to read it to my mom tonight?"Peering up at her eager face ,I couldn't help myself. I jumped to my feet and wrapped her in a hug,lifting her right off the ground. “It's all yours!" I said.Somehow,in the midst of the chaos and the schedule changes and the meetings,these children, in bad mood during reading time,untouched books in their laps, began to find joy in reading a story.1.What happened the first day of the programme?A.Participants watched TV at home.B.The programme worked out badly.C.Volunteers failed to do their duties.D.The plan lived up to the expectation.2.What did the author do to make the programme a success?A.She recruited new volunteers.B.She replaced the books used.C.She made adjustments to the plan.D.She established volunteers' leading part.3.Why did the author lift Mylea off the ground quickly?A.She sensed something was wrong.B.She thought Mylea needed comfort.C.Mylea's boredom in reading discouraged her.D.Mylea's great passion for reading amazed her.4.What is the text mainly about?A.An initiative of being volunteers.B.An innovation to the teaching method.C.An insight into helping kids overcome difficulties.D.An experience of introducing reading and tennis to kids.3.Why humans make and appreciate music is an evolutionary( 进化的) mystery. Recently David Schruth and his colleagues have a new explanation. They say the roots of human music can date back to the branches of trees more than 50 million years ago , when the first primates (灵长类) appeared. Early primates moved around forest by leaping ( 跳跃) from branch to branch ,a very dangerous way to travel that relies on hand and eye working together and control over muscles.Schruth argues that a primate that calls in a musical way is advertising that it has fine control over its vocal(声音的) muscles. This might have convinced other primates that the caller also had fine control over its body. His another research shows the species that leap the most tend to have more complicated calls, which the team jokingly named as‘protomusical'.Hagen,a worldwide famous scientist in this field, commented on the research:“Some people would not include what we see in primates and songbirds as music. But I do see a continuity between human music and. primate' vocalizations.Hagen doesn't think human music has a single ,simple explanation. He argues that human ancestors originally used music-like vocalizations in two ways :groups vocalized together to send a signal of strength and unity to scare outsiders away, and mothers used vocalisations to communicate with babies. Also another idea :humans used music to strengthen social bonds.All these ideas might be compatible,says Hagen. Protomusic could have evolved in primates both to attract companions and for territorial signaling. Later, as early humans began cooperating in largenumbers ,protomusic might have been repurposed so it could attract rather. than frighten outsiders,while also strengthening social bonds within groups.1.What is Schruth's finding?A.Primates have the most complex calls.B.Human ancestors leap around trees skillfully.C.Frequent movements sharpen early human calls.plicated vocalizations result from more leaps.2.What's Hagen's attitude to Schruth's research?A.Negative.B.Skeptical.C.Supportive.D.Cautious.3.Which word can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?A.Clever.B.Reasonable.C.Misleading.D.Contradictory4.What's the best title of the text?A.Repurposed functions of musicB.Arguments on primates' evolutionC.Origins of music linked to leapingD.Discoveries about the human origins4.Most parents can remember the artful mix of excitement and anxiety accompanying the choice of their baby's name 一 it will follow the child his or her entire life. But the effect could be even more significant. In research recently published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology ,our research team shows that the stereotype (模式思维) that a given society has of a first name can influence the way people look.In eight studies ,we found that participants shown ID-style photos of people they'd never met were able to recognize the first name of the described person well above the chance level. In other words , there is something about an Emily that…just looks like an E mily.If an Emily really does look like an Emily ,even a computer should be able to guess her true name. The computer was even able to produce a“heat map”for each name,a face with the features that “betray”a person carrying that name shown in red or orange colors. How should we understand this effect? Until now, social psychologists knew that our facial appearance influences the extent to which others perceive us as attractive ,intelligent ,trustworthy or warm. These studies show that others' perceptions of our first name are reflected in our faces.Interestingly ,the face -name effect occurs even if we can only see the hair of a person. Our hair is possibly the part of our face that we control with the most ease. The fact that this alone can produce the face name effect further illustrates the suspected self-fulfilling mechanism behind it.Together , the eight studies suggest that we wear our social belonging on our face , and that we actively shape our features to be recognized by our reference group. Choosing baby names remains exciting. Whatever the first name you give to your child,he or she will end up wearing it.1.What was the participants' assignment?A.To pick out ID-style photos they'd never met.B.To match strangers' photos with their names.C.To find out Emily from various ID photos.D.To perceive Emily's character.2.How is the“heat map”formed?A.By drawing a map for each name.B.By sorting out different faces in a map.C.By showing a person's face in different colors.D.By highlighting certain features in warm colors.3.What is the face-name effect?A.People wear their character on their faces.B.Hairstyle accounts for a large part in appearance.C.A fixed idea of first names determines one's look.D.Social belonging is irrelevant to our facial features.4. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A. B. C. D.二、七选五5.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。

2021年广东省高考英语模拟试卷（4月份）第一部分阅读（共两节，满分37.5分）第一节（共4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1．（7.5分）Wildlife Crossing BridgesThe Wildlife BridgeIn 2018，Utah built a wildlife bridge over the busy highway 1﹣80. A 4.8﹣kilometer fence was created to help guide animals to the bridge. Normally，animals take a long time to discover and begin using wildlife bridges，so experts didn't expect the bridge to get much traffic for several years. But recently，they've discovered many different kinds of animals are beginning to move by using the bridge.The Rope BridgeOn China's Hainan Island in 2015，scientists created a bridge for Hainan gibbons （长臂猿）that are the world's most endangered primates and normally cross the forest by swinging high in the trees. But after a 2014 typhoon，landslides caused huge gaps in the forest，which were forcing the gibbons to make dangerous jumps. Scientists created a simple and cheap rope bridge，which settled the problem.The Eco﹣BridgeIn Uttarakhand state in India，the forest department has built a special "eco﹣bridge"，made from all﹣natural materials. It's 27.5 meters long and runs over one of the busiest highways in the area. Though the bridge is high in the trees，forest department workers hope the bridge will help smaller animals on the ground，too. Already，the bridge has gotten a lot of attention on the Internet，with many people taking photos in front of it every day.The Park BridgeThe Phil Hardberger Park lies in San Antonio，Texas，and recently it has opened what they say is the largest wildlife bridge in the US. This bridge，unlike the others mentioned here，was built for use by both animals and humans. The park says they have already seen deer using the bridge.（1）What has made experts feel unexpected about the Wildlife Bridge？A.It's been completed within 2 years.B.It's being used by animals already.C.It's become an Internet﹣famous site.D.It's America's biggest wildlife bridge.（2）Which bridges run over highways？A.The Wildlife Bridge and the Eco﹣Bridge.B.The Wildlife Bridge and the Rope Bridge.C.The Eco﹣Bridge and the Park Bridge.D.The Rope Bridge and the Park Bridge.（3）What is the common purpose in building the four bridges？A.To attract more tourists.B.To reduce traffic accidents.C.To save endangered animals.D.To create wildlife passageways.2．（10分）Linda Tutt High School opened a unique grocery store in the city of Sanger，where instead of paying for products with cash，their community can earn points which they then trade in. How do they gain points？By performing good deeds! All students，staff members and families in the school district have access to the daily goods they need to get through COVID﹣19 一free of charge.The store is supplied through a partnership with First Refuge Ministries，Albertsons grocery store，and Texas Health Resources. It is open three days a week.They even offer a COVID﹣friendly curbside （路边）pickup on Tuesday nights! It is meant to provide necessary daily goods for families in need. Families are automatically awarded points based on their family size，but students can help the families earn more by helping out around the school，cleaning，or getting good referrals （推荐）from their teachers. Headmaster Anthony Love called it "the ingenious method"，compared with the traditional approaches used to make students help others.The store is operated and managed entirely by the students. Not only are they encouraged to show others kindness，but they also have a sense of control during this uncertain time. "Many of them come from low﹣income families that need just a little extra support with food，" Anthony added.So the store has the extra profit of giving its student employees' valuable experience. "I think this is the most exciting part of it，which they can carry with them as they graduate from high school and move on into the world，" Anthony said.What a brilliant way to support their community! Between providing daily goods for families，giving kids experience concerned，and making their school a better place through good deeds，traditional businesses could learn a thing or two from this approach!（1）What is special about the grocery store？A.Its owner is a local school.B.It is open three days a week.C.Students rent it free of charge.D.Good deeds can be exchanged for its goods.（2）Why did Linda Tutt High School open the grocery store？A.To help people in need.B.To get some incomes.C.To keep people at home.D.To offer students paid jobs.（3）What does the underlined word "ingenious" in Paragraph 2 mean？A. Careful.B. Strict.C. Creative.D. Flexible.（4）What is the added benefit of the grocery store？A. It makes more families get goods.B. It provides students with job skills.C. It encourages students to graduate.D. It saves more traditional businesses.3．（10分）The German ship Polarstern is normally designed to break up heavy ice. But in September，2019，the ship set sail from Norway with the goal of getting frozen into the Arctic ice cap for a year. The mission （任务）was part of a ＄155 million project known as MOSAiC，led by Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute（AWI），whose goal is to learn more about the ice that forms near the North Pole. The ice cap here isn't completely solid，and it's a collection of floes ﹣﹣﹣floating sheets of ice. As summer approaches，some of the ice melts and many floes break free.By October，2019，the ship was frozen into the Arctic ice north of Siberia. The mission wasn't without its challenges. First and most importantly，the Polarstern had to find an ice floe that is used as its primary research base. The ice floe must be solid enough to anchor the ship and to support all the research equipment the scientists needed to use.However，doing it proved easier said than done. Once the ship was frozen in place，the scientists had to wrestle with the dangerous polar bears that were wandering around.Dealing with extreme cold was another challenge. They also had to face the long and dark polar night，a period during winter when the sun doesn't rise at all in the central Arctic.In September，2020，the boat finally returned to Bremerhaven，Germany."We are watching the Arctic sea ice die，" said the mission's leader，Markus Rex.The team reports that the ice shelf is full of holes，and that the ice that remains is thin and melting. Recent satellite measurements support that idea. The size of this year's ice cap is the second smallest ever recorded.Next comes the long process of studying all the data that was collected during the last year. Thomas Krumpen，one of the scientists，said "We'll likely be busy with it over the next ten years."The scientists hope this abundant information will help them make better predictions about climate change.（1）What does MOSAiC try to do in the Arctic？A.Protect the ice cap.B.Stop the ice melting.C.Study the ice deeply.D.Break up heavy ice.（2）What was the biggest challenge for the scientists on the Polarstern？A.Finding the right floe.B.Fighting the extreme cold.C.Avoiding polar bears.D.Reducing the loneliness.（3）What is the author's attitude towards the situations of the Arctic ice？A. Carefree.B. Positive.C. Tolerant.D. Objective.（4）Which of the following best describes the journey to the Arctic？A. Expensive.B. Confidential.C. Fruitful.D. Casual.4．（10分）When a living thing gives off a glow（光），it's called bioluminescence. Fireflies area well﹣known example of bioluminescence. Many mushrooms are also bio﹣luminescent. Fireflies and other bio﹣luminescent creatures light up thanks to chemicals inside their bodies. These chemicals are known as luciferins （荧光素），which cause a chemical reaction that gives off light.Plants don't naturally have luciferins，so there are no naturally bio﹣luminescent plants. In the past，scientists created glowing plants by adding DNA from glowing bacteria. But the glowing effect was weak. They also created glowing plants by adding luciferins to plants. In 2017，a team at MIT was able to cause watercress plants to glowfor about four hours. Now，researchers at a Russian company called Planta，working with scientists from the United Kingdom and Austria，have come up with a new method of creating glowing plants which last as long as they are alive. The scientists focused on an acid that is found in both plants and mushrooms. By adding certain parts of the DNA from glowing mushrooms to ordinary tobacco plants，the scientists are able to create plants that can make their own luciferins using this acid. The scientists report that the greenish light is about 10 times brighter than in earlier ones，which is strong enough to be easily recorded with an ordinary camera，but doesn't affect the health of the plants.Glowing plants reflect the way plants work. The scientists point out that the glowing isn't constant，but seems to change，depending upon what is happening inside the plants. Younger parts of the plants glow more strongly than older parts. The flowers glow especially brightly. They've noticed moving patterns of light in the plants，which they think may show activity in plants that normally can't be seen. The glowing also helps uncover how plants may be affected by things around them. For example，the plants glow much more strongly when a ripe banana skin is nearby.（1）What does the first paragraph focus on？A. What bioluminescence is.B. What luciferins are used for.C. Why chemical reaction exists.D. Why some living things glow.（2）How do tobacco plants produce luciferins？A.By glowing constantly.B.By using an input chemical.C.By making glowing bacteria.D.By absorbing natural light.（3）What does the author convey about glowing plants in the last paragraph？A.The activities of their light.B.Their value to the scientists.C.Their effects on other plants.D.The spaces of their existence.（4）What is the best title for the text？A.Scientists Create Glowing PlantsB.Glowing Plants Attract ScientistsC.Plants Glow Better and BetterD.Making Plants Glow Is Necessary第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项选项中有两项为多余选项5．（12.5分）Listening to music is relatively inexpensive and everyone can do it easily. As is known to all，music has many benefits.（1）Meanwhile，you can also make use of it to create more joy in your life. Here are some ways.Let music say "Good morning" to you.（2）This music eases you into the day like a beautiful sunrise，and starts you out in a good mood. This is easy to program if you have a Smartphone that allows you to choose a song as your alarm. A positive morning music ceremony is a sure way to start your day off in a better mood. （3）Sing aloud with music as often as you can. If you want to take the positive effects of listening to music to another level，try singing. Singing is one of the best ways to regulate breathing and promote relaxation. Sing in the shower；sing in the car.（4）This is not about performing but about your relaxation. If you're going to sing，picking and singing the songs that you know will put you in a better mood，inspire you，or help you relax.（5）If you have a daily exercise routine，try taking music along with you. A morning walk or run can become easier and more enjoyable if you have music as your personal coach and companion. Again，it is important for you to choose music that works for you and that you know will have the effect you are trying to achieve.A.Try waking to a familiar piece of music.B.Make movements with music every day.C.Spending a few minutes singing aloud is necessary.D.Don't worry if you think that you aren't a "good" singer.E.Find some beautiful and inspiring music while you're working.F.You can use music in your daily routine to help reduce stress and anxiety.G.This can also prevent your mind dragging you back into the worries of yesterday.第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分15分）第一节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项6．（15分）Paige Calendine of Zanesville，Ohio，may look a little different from her teammates，but she's just as talented 一if not more so.

They were going to meet up with Lynn's husband in Alaska，where he is stationed as a soldier.Because of COVID﹣19 regulations，they had to stick to a strict five﹣day schedule to reach their destination. Unfortunately，once they entered Canada，things began to take a turn for the worse. Lynn's phone didn't have signal without an Internet connection，so they had no GPS. Not to mention，her windshield wipers（雨刮器）wouldn't work，she was having an extremely difficult time driving in the snow，which she had never done before，and she wasn't allowed to stop anywhere for help because of the travelrestrictions.Thankfully，a woman named Teena noticed her crying in her car at a gas station. Upon hearing Lynn's story，she decided to take a look at their tires. She found that Lynn had summer tires. That's why she was having so much trouble driving in the snow. Teena helped Lynn get to a tire shop，where the owner helped her swap out her wheels for some that were better suited to the winter weather and changed her wipers ﹣even though it was Sunday and the business was actually closed.Lynn got back on the road，only to stop at a hotel that was meant only for oil field workers. But when Andy，the hotel manager，saw that Lynn was struggling，he bent the rules to let the mom and her kids spend the night so they didn't have to get back on the road in cold weather.Unable to bear driving another three days alone，Lynn decided to hire a driver to take them the rest of the way to the Alaskan border，another 1，000 miles away. She reached out to Teena to see if she could help her find someone. Between Teena and the power of social media，they were connected with Gary Bath，a Canadian Ranger （护林员）who offered to help them get to Alaska!注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答Over the course of their three﹣day drive，_______Lynn and Gary had great conversations.________参考答案与试题解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分37.5分）第一节（共4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1．（7.5分）Wildlife Crossing BridgesThe Wildlife BridgeIn 2018，Utah built a wildlife bridge over the busy highway 1﹣80. A 4.8﹣kilometer fence was created to help guide animals to the bridge. Normally，animals take a long time to discover and begin using wildlife bridges，so experts didn't expect the bridge to get much traffic for several years. But recently，they've discovered many different kinds of animals are beginning to move by using the bridge.The Rope BridgeOn China's Hainan Island in 2015，scientists created a bridge for Hainan gibbons （长臂猿）that are the world's most endangered primates and normally cross the forest by swinging high in the trees. But after a 2014 typhoon，landslides caused huge gaps in the forest，which were forcing the gibbons to make dangerous jumps. Scientists created a simple and cheap rope bridge，which settled the problem.The Eco﹣BridgeIn Uttarakhand state in India，the forest department has built a special "eco﹣bridge"，made from all﹣natural materials. It's 27.5 meters long and runs over one of the busiest highways in the area. Though the bridge is high in the trees，forest department workers hope the bridge will help smaller animals on the ground，too. Already，the bridge has gotten a lot of attention on the Internet，with many people taking photos in front of it every day.The Park BridgeThe Phil Hardberger Park lies in San Antonio，Texas，and recently it has opened what they say is the largest wildlife bridge in the US. This bridge，unlike the others mentioned here，was built for use by both animals and humans. The park says they have already seen deer using the bridge.（1）What has made experts feel unexpected about the Wildlife Bridge？A.It's been completed within 2 years.B.It's being used by animals already.C.It's become an Internet﹣famous site.D.It's America's biggest wildlife bridge.（2）Which bridges run over highways？AA.The Wildlife Bridge and the Eco﹣Bridge.B.The Wildlife Bridge and the Rope Bridge.C.The Eco﹣Bridge and the Park Bridge.D.The Rope Bridge and the Park Bridge.（3）What is the common purpose in building the four bridges？DA.To attract more tourists.B.To reduce traffic accidents.C.To save endangered animals.D.To create wildlife passageways.【分析】本文是一篇应用文介绍了四座专门为动物搭建的桥的特点和用途【解答】（1）B.细节理解题根据The Wildlife Bridge部分Normally，animals take a long time to discover and begin using wildlife bridges，so experts didn't expect the bridge to get much traffic for several years.

But in September，2019，the ship set sail from Norway with the goal of getting frozen into the Arctic ice cap for a year. The mission （任务）was part of a ＄155 million project known as MOSAiC，led by Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute（AWI），whose goal is to learn more about the ice that forms near the North Pole. The ice cap here isn't completely solid，and it's a collection of floes ﹣﹣﹣floating sheets of ice. As summer approaches，some of the ice melts and many floes break free.By October，2019，the ship was frozen into the Arctic ice north of Siberia. The mission wasn't without its challenges. First and most importantly，the Polarstern had to find an ice floe that is used as its primary research base. The ice floe must be solid enough to anchor the ship and to support all the research equipment the scientists needed to use.However，doing it proved easier said than done. Once the ship was frozen in place，the scientists had to wrestle with the dangerous polar bears that were wandering around.Dealing with extreme cold was another challenge. They also had to face the long and dark polar night，a period during winter when the sun doesn't rise at all in the central Arctic.In September，2020，the boat finally returned to Bremerhaven，Germany."We are watching the Arctic sea ice die，" said the mission's leader，Markus Rex.The team reports that the ice shelf is full of holes，and that the ice that remains is thin and melting. Recent satellite measurements support that idea. The size of this year's ice cap is the second smallest ever recorded.Next comes the long process of studying all the data that was collected during the last year. Thomas Krumpen，one of the scientists，said "We'll likely be busy with it over the next ten years."The scientists hope this abundant information will help them make better predictions about climate change.。

But there may be a(n) 41 to doing so, as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.The research was led by neuroscientist(神经科学家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero6 in either 42 type or RealD 3D. They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film. The test covered memory, reaction time and cognitive (认知的) function, and the results were later 43 .According to the research, participants 44 a 23 per cent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction time.Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain 45 in the future. “These findings are more significant than youmight think,” he said. “It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a(n) 46 decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may 47 play a role in slowing this decline.”A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets(耳机)that48 brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something. “A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is 49 remarkable. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,” he said. “In evolutionary 50 , the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense. 3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal—this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds,” Dr Fagan added.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Researchers recently find w omen likely face work environments that push against the “having it all” mentality, leading to feelings of guilt and depression.Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health, according to a new study that finds that “supermoms” have higher rates of depression compared with working moms who let things 51 .The research, presented Aug. 20 at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas, finds that working is 52 for mothers’ mental health. But among working mothers, the least depressed are those who don’t expect to 53 work and family life perfectly, said study researcher Katrina Leupp, a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle.“The ideal that women can do it all actually 54 the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful about whether or not work and family c an be balanced,” Leupp told LiveScience.Leupp analyzed survey 55 from 1,600 married women who participated in a large survey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. In 1987, the women answered questions to judge their support of women’s 56 , including whether they agreed with statements such as “Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.”In 1992 and 1994, the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression. Like earlier studies, the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptoms of depression, perhaps because outside work giveswomen more 57 interaction, more varied activities and a larger income, Leupp said.Among the employed women, though, the cheeriest were those who had indicated in their younger years the least 58 for women balancing career and family. The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression.“Somewhat 59 , women who don’t expect to be able to balance work and family have better mental health than those who do,” Leupp said.The study didn’t explain why optimistic (乐观的) views of balancing work and motherhood would60 later depression. “The reason may come down to 61 and real-world work environme nts,”Leupp said. “Women who expect to have it all probably come up against 62 that aren’t designed with work-life balance in mind. When they can’t balance everything perfectly, these supermoms are more likely to feel 63 .”“I think this research rea lly speaks to a 64 between women’s expectations and the actual structure of the workplace,” Leupp said.“The takeaway for working moms is to temper their optimism about balancing 65 and employmentand not to blame themselves if they struggle. Recognize that if it feels difficult, it’s because it is difficult.”51. A. happen B. continue C. slide D. end52. A. good B. ready C. hard D. possible53.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits bestaccording to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack. The thunder of their hooves (蹄) rings in the riders’ears, nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes of suspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup—one of the world’s most famous horseraces—were fated to race. Bred for speed, these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions.Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A horse’s owner manages the team and decides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorse’s diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse. A groomer (动物美容师) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer. And of course, no horserace could be run without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy, adapt to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.Australia’s most famous horserace, the Melbourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure excitement. Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated(提名), but only 24 can run. The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically.Each racehorse receives a handicap—a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning—two months before the race. Originally, horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap for previous winners.The first Melbourne Cup in 1861 drew a crowd of 4,000 spectators, and the race’s popularity has grown since then. Held on the first Tuesday of November, the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment.The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich. Today it still attracts society’s upper class.

The solution may be just a few steps away.“Energy harvesting”promises to power countless consumer devices, often with nothing more thanyour body’s movement or heat. Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products, but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things.“It’s huge,”said Graham Martin, CEO of the EnOcean Alliance, a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies. With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices, “if they are all battery-powered, we’ll have a problem because there’s not enough lithium (锂) in the world,” he added. “So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting.”Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched, the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge. Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades, for example, by winding themselves when their user moves their arm. Now, the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies, Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices.Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation. Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips (芯片) that create electricity from ultrasound (超声波) to power implantable (可植入的) devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile (纺织品) research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes, which can monitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Research firm IDTechEx has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit $2.6 billion by 2024, while WinterGreen Research predicts sales of $4.2 billion by 2021.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex, however. For one thing, the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover, the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them, according to a ColumbiaUniversity study. It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking, running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products. While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years, experts say, people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.74. Which “explode”in the following sentences has the most similar meaning to the word “explode”inParagraph 2?A. They were clearing up when the second bomb exploded.B. The continued tension could explode into more violence.C. The population exploded to 40,000 during the last tourist season.D. The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary.75. What makes “energy harvesting” necessary according to the passage?A. The waste of lithium in the world.B. The increasing number of electronic devices.C. The development of technology.D. The pollution caused by batteries.76. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. energy-harvesting products save money in the long runB. taller people can surely produce a larger amount of powerC. automatic watches harvest energy from the user s’ body heatD. two ways of harvesting energy are mentioned in the passage77. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Energy harvesting: a low-risk technologyB. Energy harvesting: a high-profit technologyC. Energy harvesting: a problem-free technologyD. Energy harvesting: an environment-friendly technologySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in thefewest possible words.Want to attractand keeptop talent? Here’s a suggestion: Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal.Asurvey this summer of 1,215 U.S. managers and employees across a variety of industries, by EY (formerly Ernst & Young), found those aged 18 to 32 rank flexibility among the perks (特殊待遇) they want most, with 33% saying they wouldn’t work anywhere that didn’t offer it. But it seems those aged 33 to 48value flextime even more: 38% of them consider it non-negotiable, with men who said so, at 40%, slightly outnumbering women (37%).“Companies first started offering flexible schedules, in the late 80s and the 90s, as a way to recruit (招募) and keep talented women, but it’s gone way beyond that now,” observes Karyn Twaronite, an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business.Noting that both men and women, in all age groups, ranked flextime(弹性工作制) tops among non-cash perks, Twaronite adds, “That result mirrors exactly what we’re seeing here at EY.” The accounting and consulting giant, No. 57 on Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For, has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for years—including, since 2004, six weeks’ of paid leave for new dads.“Flextime may have started out as a women’s issue, but it’s changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect,” he adds. “I think it’s partly because of the large nu mber of two-career households now, where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one.”The EY survey suggests that, in the next decade or so, the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is. Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule, the report notes, but “respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours, as 62% currently work standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten yea rs.”That doesn’t surprise Twaronite. “Work is changing,” she observes. “The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24 hours a day, especially in global companies that operate across different time zones. The other side of that is that employers are adapting to people’s lives outside of work—because they have to be.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the main finding of the survey?79. Flextime was originally aimed at _____.80. The result of the survey is caused by the fact that _____.81.

2021年山东省高考英语模拟试卷（5月份）一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共37.5分）(2021·山东省·模拟题)AWouldn't it be great if you could correct your eyesight, especially nearsightedness, and reduce your dependence on glasses and needn't have eye surgery？The solution is called orthokeratology, or ortho-k（角膜塑形镜）.What is ortho-k？Orthokeratology （ortho-k）is the fitting of specially designed contact lenses （隐形眼镜）that you wear overnight. While you are asleep, the lenses gently reshape the front surface of your cornea （角膜）so you can see clearly the following day after you remove the lenses when you wake up.How Long does the ortho - k effect last？You should be able to see acceptably well without glasses or contact lenses for a day or two, sometimes longer. For best results, one should wear the ortho - k lenses every night.Who are good candidates for ortho -k？Most people with mild to average nearsightedness are good candidates for ortho - k. Because the corneal reshaping effect is temporary, little risk is involved, and you can discontinue wearing the lenses at any time. Children and young adults who want to be glasses-free but are too young for eye surgery or are afraid of taking the surgery often are good candidates for ortho -k. People who participate in contact sports or work in dusty environments that can have problems for contact lens wear also can be good candidates.How much does ortho - k cost？Costs also can vary based on the region of the country and the type of practice where you have the procedure performed. Ortho - k prices in the US generally range from ﹩1，000 to ﹩2，000. But particularly difficult cases of ortho - k can cost as much as ﹩4，000.There are additional costs for lens care solutions and following up exams, which can total about ﹩300 to ﹩500 per year.Finally, keep in mind that, as with all contact lenses, there are some possible side effects of wearing ortho - k lenses. Ask your eye doctor for details.1.According to the passage, which way is introduced to correct eyesight？______A. Performing an operation on the cornea.B. Applying contact lenses in the daytime.C. Fitting proper glasses during the night.D. Wearing specially designed contact lenses.2.Which of the following statements is right？______A. You have to wear ortho-k day and night to ensure good results.B. Ortho-k is a good choice for a man with average nearsightedness.C. The cost of ortho-k in the city is higher than that in the countryside.D. There is no need for people to worry about the side effects of ortho-k.3.How much will a person pay for using ortho-k for the first year at least？______A. ﹩1，000.B. ﹩1，300.C. ﹩1，500.D. ﹩2，000. (2021·山东省·模拟题)BShanghai residents passing through the city's eastern Huangpu district in October might have been astonished at an unusual sight：a "walking" building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground and relocated using new technology named the "walking machine". In the city's latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building, according to Lan Wuji, chief technical supervisor （技术总监）of the project. The supports act like robotic legs. They're divided into two groups which alternately rise up and down, imitating the human pace. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward, said Lan.In recent decades, China's rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for high-rise buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage lost as a result of destruction across the country. Some cities have launched new preservation and conservation campaigns including, on occasion, the use of advanced technologies that allow old buildings to be relocated rather than destroyed.Shanghai has possibly been China's most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and19th-century "Shikumen" houses in the rebuilt Xintiandi neighborhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a satisfying record of relocating old buildings. In 2018，the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, in what was then considered to be Shanghai's most complex relocation project to date.The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7，600 tons, posed a new challenge--it'sT-shaped,while previously relocated structures were square or four-sided. Experts met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the "walking machine"，Lan said. However, he couldn't share the exact cost of the project, and that relocation costs will differ case by case. "It can't be used as a reference, because we have to preserve the historical building no matter what," he said. "But in general,it's cheaper than destroying and then rebuilding something in a new location."4.How does the "walking" machine work？______A. It uses hundreds of ropes to lift up the entire building.B. It uses many wheels to roll the building to the new place.C. It lifts off the building story by story with the robotic legs.D. It uses sensors to control the movement of mobile supports.5.What does the underlined word "razed" probably mean in Paragraph 3？______A. replacedB. burntC. protectedD. destroyed6.According to paragraph 3-4，what can we infer about the heritage preservation in China？______A. The use of advanced technology leads to growing concern.B. Shanghai is the pioneer in preserving architectural heritage.C. The local government has already taken action since the 1930s.D. It consequently holds back the progress of modernization.7.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？______A. New preservation campaigns are launched in China.B. Modernization poses threats to historic buildings.C. A building in Shanghai "walks" to a new location.D. "Walking machine" makes heritage protection cheaper.(2021·山东省·模拟题)CStreaming（流媒体）first became popular in 2005，thanks to YouTube. Nowadays nearly three quarters of American households subscribe to at least one video streaming service. With almost 200 million subscribers worldwide and a billion hours of content viewed each week, Netflix is by far the biggest paid service. No. 2 is Amazon Prime Video. But for every Goliath，there are a hundred Davids. Many smaller streaming services show nothing but sports, classic movies, or Japanese anime （动画片）.In the early days of steaming the appeal was the lower cost, and it still is. The average streamer spends ﹩37 a month and subscribes to three streaming platform,while the average cable（有线电视）user pays more than ﹩200 per month. Still streaming has become more expensive in recent years. In 2019，Netflix raised the price of its basic service 12.5 percent, to ﹩8.99 a month.A quarter of its subscribers, who protested price increases, said they would cancel their subscriptions. Few did.A major reason：Streaming networks have become home to many of the most popular TV series, including recent Emmy winners. They offer full-length feature films as well, and last year, Netflix received more Oscar nominations （提名）than any other media company. In fact, streaming has changed the Oscar competition, at least for this year. Usually only films shown in theaters are considered, but because of the coronavirus, all movies released online in 2020 are qualified for the 2021 Academy Awards. That shift is especially good news for Disney, which is putting the much anticipated movie Mulan on its new streaming service, Disney+. But watching Mulan from your own home will cost ﹩29.99-on top of the service's monthly fee of ﹩6.99.Too much streaming can have its disadvantages, however. There are those who binge-watch, a term Merriam-Webster added in 2017 with the definition "to watch many or all episodes of （a TV series）on end." Alejandro Fragoso from New York holds the Guinness World Record：94 straight hours.8.What do the underlined words "Goliath" and "David" in Paragraph 1 refer to？______A. TV viewers.B. TV programs.C. Streaming subscribers.D. Streaming services.9.Why did most Netflix subscribers continue their subscriptions？______A. They cannot go without it.B. They think the low cost is a thing of the past.C. Netflix has controlled the market.D. They think it is good value for money.10.What does the good news in Paragraph 3 mean to Disney？______A. The movie Mulan can be released on Disney+.B. The movie Mulan will generate great profits.C. The movie Mulan can compete for an Oscar.D. The movie Mulan will win an Oscar award.11.What do binge-watchers tend to do？______A. They start a new life.B. They watch TV series continuously.C. They break world records.D. They watch TV series aimlessly(2021·山东省·模拟题)DIf all goes well, a balloon will soon rise from Esrange Space Center in Kiruna, Sweden. It will float high into the upper atmosphere and then return to Earth. However, environmentalists have arrived to stop this from happening.The campaigners are against the balloon because of what occurs in flight. The balloon will shoot dust into the Earth's upper atmosphere, causing more sunlight to reflect back into space. The dust, known as Stratospheric Aeroso Linjection（SAI），is part of a solar geoengineering （地球工程）program named SCoPex which is being conducted by Harvard University. The aim of the program is to purposely change the Earth's atmosphere to fight climate change. Those who oppose worry about two things. Firstly, the moral risk-if solar geoengineering works, talks on reducing greenhouse gases will be challenged. The second concern is the amount of SAI in the atmosphere. To keep temperatures low, the need of the reflective dust to be released high above Earth will be endless, and a sudden stop could result in rapid warming. Raymond Pierrehumbert, a physicist at Oxford University, says solar geoengineering is even tool risky to research beyond computer models.Not all environmentalists are opposed to it. Since the world is unlikely to achieve the 1.5℃global warming target set in the Paris Agreement, some green organizations favour small-sized geoengineering research.Regardless of the criticism,the research continues. Geoengineering is increasingly gaininginternational attention. A recent report about climate change suggested that SAI could help keep warming below 1.5℃，The National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine in the USA has developed a research plan for solar geoengineering and received governmental funding totaling ﹩9 million. Both China and India have also launched research programmes of their own. Activists may oppose the experiments, but balloons will likely fly anyway.12.What is the function of SAI？______A. To attract dustB. To throw sunlight backC. To absorb heatD. To fight against pollution13.Why does Raymond Pierrehumbert say geoengineering is risky？______A. It may change computer models.B. It may produce too much dust.C. It may release greenhouse gases.D. It may worsen global warming.14.How do some people expect geoengineering research to be done？______A. To a limited degreeB. At a lower temperatureC. By green organizationsD. Without international attention15.Which of the following can be inferred？______A. Voices of environmentalists are ignoredB. More support is going to geoengineeringC. Global warming is getting worse in SwedenD. Geoengineering has proved effective in India二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）(2021·山东省·模拟题)How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.（1）______ .

1. English learners should not think that mistakes are bad. Alex Poole, a professor of English at Western Kentucky University, advises that language learners should instead see errors as signs of progress. One common problem is that English learners think too much about errors instead of communication. "The goal is to be able to communicate in practical terms. If you have an error, the only time you should worry about it is when it leads to misunderstanding, " Poole said.Poole said when speaking with a native English speaker, you can look for signs of confusion to detect errors. For example, when a person gives an unusual response to something you said, you can then ask them directly what the problem is. It also works if you ask a native speaker about the kinds of things that you say that could cause communication problems if you know him well.When it comes to writing, Poole recommends thinking about errors in a different way. He suggests keeping a list of common errors. When English learners write something, instead of grammars, they should think about the big picture of what they are writing about. Then he advises thinking about how to put those ideas in order. After finishing it, you can go back and use your list to look for errors."My philosophy as a language learner has always been…I'm going to monitor my errors, but I'm never going to be perfect, so that shouldn't bother me. But I should look for things which cause communication problems, and I just have to live with that."You can read more about errors in Poole's new book Learning a Foreign Language﹣Understanding the Fundamentals of Linguistics. In the book, he also writes about study plans, progress and other issues in language learning.（1）English learners should worry about errors when________.A. they misuse practical termsB. they don't know native speakersC. mistakes become signs of slow progressD. errors cause communication breakdown．（2）What should English learners consider first in writing according to Poole？________A. Grammars.B. Main ideas.C. Details.D. Word choice.．（3）What's the author's purpose in writing the text？________A. To introduce a book.B. To explain basic rules.C. To offer practical advice.D. To recommend a professor.．2. Every summer, three billion birds migrate （迁徙）from southern Africa to Europe. In winter, they return to Africa's warmer shores. Both large and small birds travel thousands of kilometers, often stopping at locations along the way to rest. The migration is long and difficult, and some of the animals die during each trip. However, it is not this twice﹣a﹣year journey that poses the greatest risk to these animals. The main threat to the birds' survival comes from people. All over Mediterranean, millions of birds are killed for food, profit, and sport every year. Consequently, bird populations are dropping all over the region.Countries over the Mediterranean are aware of this, and are taking action. In many European countries, hunting migratory birds is strictly banned. Across the Mediterranean, Nature Conservation Egypt is working to increase protection of its country's wildlife, including migratory birds. As part of a current project, the group is trying to promote activities such as eco﹣tourism along the coasts. The hope is that, as more tourists come to visit protected natural areas, there will be an ________ for local people to care for the birds and their habitats.Wildlife organizations around the Mediterranean are helping to bring about change. "Hunting bans are working, " says Martin Jacoby, a bird expert. But there is still more to do. Environmentalists hope to stop hunting and restore bird habitats all over the Mediterranean. If this can be done, the birds' number will increase. "There is a long way to go, " Jacoby says, "but just like after a long journey in the desert, there will be an oasis（绿洲）."（1）What's the biggest danger to migrating birds？________A. Long distance.B. Human hunters.C. Severe weather.D. Lack of food.．（2）What does the underlined word "incentive" mean in Paragraph 2？________A. Opportunity.B. Bargain.C. Drive.D.

Gift givers often make serious mistakes in gift selection during the holidayseason, according to a research article in Current Directions in Psychological Science.The research, led by Jeff Galak, a professor from Carnegie Mellon University Tepper School of Business, suggests that gift givers tend to focus on the moment of exchange when selecting a gift, while gift receivers are more focused on the long﹣term value of the gift."What we found was that the giver wants to 'wow（使喝彩）' the receiver and give a gift that can be enjoyed immediately, in the moment, while the receiver is more interested in a gift that provides value over time, " explained Galak. "Put another way, there may be times when the vacuum cleaner（吸尘器）, a gift that is unlikely to wow most receivers when they open it on Christmas day, really ought to be at the top of the shopping list as it will be well used and liked for a long time. "The researchers found that this different focus on the gifts showed up in a number of different ways. For instance, some gift giving mistakes included giving unrequested gifts in an effort to surprise the receiver, when they are likely hoping for a gift from a planned list.The researchers make recommendations for those hoping to choose better gifts, advising them to better put their feet in gift receivers' shoes when thinking about gifts that would be both appreciated and useful."We exchange gifts with the people we care about, in part, in an effort to make them happy and strengthen our relationships with them, " Galak added. "By considering how valuable gifts might be over time for receivers, rather than how much of a smile it might put on receivers' faces when they are opened, we can meet these goals and provide useful, well ﹣received gifts. "（1）What do the gift givers usually focus on when choosing gifts？________A. Receivers' long﹣term needs.B. Receivers' inner thoughts.C. Receivers' immediate reactions.D. Receivers' lifetime hobbies.．（2）Why does the author mention the vacuum cleaner in Paragraph 3？________A. To give advice on how to choose a gift.B. To show the influence of the wrong gifts.C. To stress the popularity of the vacuum cleaner.D. To show the importance of a gift's long﹣term value.．（3）What can be a suitable title for the text？________A. What a Good Gift Reveals about Personality？B. A Good Gift Well Worth "Wows" and SmilesC. How to Evaluate Value When Choosing a Gift？D. Want to Give a Good Gift？ Consider Practical Value．第二节（共1小题；每小题10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。

山东省实验中学2021届高三下学期2月份模拟考试英语试卷第Ⅰ卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节：（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWhen it comes to judgment of their bodies,women can’t win.People often make“fat jokes”,but fat-shaming is no laughing matter;neither is fit-shaming.I spoke to two women who were shamed for being fat,and then,after losing weight,shamed for being fit.Sarah Moore is a29-year-old mother of three from Indiana,US.She became a personal trainer after losing more than45kg.She remembers the fat-shaming she bore before her weight loss.When waiting to get on a roller coaster once,people behind her were complaining about the wait,and the attendant(服务人员)told them,“Don’t worry.She’s not going to fit on here,and you’ll be next.”But after losing weight,Moore said people commented on her body even more.“Now I get comments like,‘Are you sure you can eat that?’because they’re worried I’ll regain the weight,”she said.How does it make her feel?“Fat-shaming made me feel sad and helpless,and fit-shaming makes me angry,”she said.Changes in body weight can also influence relationships.It can upset the balance because others can get jealous.People who lose weight can experience personality changes,such as an increase in confidence,which also influences relationships.Fit-shaming has been harder to handle for Andrea Sereda,a38-year-old social worker in Canada.She said judgment of her body is something she’s faced for years.Sereda said that when she was9,her grandfather told her at a birthday party,“I don’t think you should eat cake,”and made comments about how many calories each bite contained as she ate it.She also experienced similar things in college.The judgment of Sereda’s body increased after she lost57kg.“It’s worse with people who knew me from before,”Sereda said.“People constantly say,‘You’re so skinny now you’re going to disappear.’”It was mostly friends making such comments.Closer friends seemed to compare their own bodies negatively to Sereda’s new physique(体型).“I was afraid of going out and having to field all these comments,”Sereda said.“I had to learn how to handle it.”Let us try to understand that just because someone has lost weight,it doesn’t make them fair game for commentary on their new shape.Everyone deserves to live free of being body shamed,regardless of how they look.21.Sarah Moore is shamed for being fit after losing weight mainly because________.A.people still judge her new body shapeB.she lost too much weight after her dietC.her personality changed for the betterD.people are all jealous of her new look22.The example of Andrea Sereda is used to________.A.explain what pushes women to lose weightB.show the negative effects of fit shamingC.suggest what can be done to handle fat shamingD.show the difficulties overweight women face23.What would be a proper way to treat those who have lost weight?A.To appreciate their new body shape.B.To stop commenting on their physique.C.To encourage them to maintain their shape.D.To remind them to be careful with their diet.BI’m Jeff Logan,president of Logan Luxury Theaters Corporation.I’m very sorry to tell you many cinemas are at risk of closing permanently(永久).That’s something we would hate to see happen.Watching the newest box office movie and eating a big bucket of popcorn is an experience that many of us have enjoyed for a very long time.We all have fond memories of going to a theater of our first dates or the first movie we saw with our children.A movie theater is so important to the fabric of the local community.It’s a place where we all gather,no matter what our interests,and no matter what ages,young and old,rich and poor.But how much longer will classic theaters remain open?Just like other industries,movie theaters have been hit hard by the pandemic(流行病）and are going dark.The entire industry is being controlled by the pandemic,because the studios don’t want to release their new movies until all the theaters can be open.As we all know,the theaters can’t do well and can’t get back to full7-day a week at full speed operation without new movies to play.Recently,the Logan Luxury5Cinema in Mitchell reopened for the weekends.However,like manytheaters,it is only operating at about10percent capacity.Since opening,several new safety measures have been put in place.Block off every other row.People are asked to leave three seats between them and the next group.Staff spray the theater with disinfectant(消毒剂）after every show.And sanitizer stations can be found throughout the theater.Even so,some people still aren’t comfortable going to a movie theater yet.I fully understand that.Anyhow, Ijust hope we must do something else to help out our local theaters,like taking part in a new national proposal called“Save Your Cinema.”1.What does the underlined word"fabric"in paragraph4refer to?A.Typical feature.B.Basic structure.C.Public support.mon vision.2.Why are the film studios unwilling to release the new movies?A.Cinemas don’toperate normally.B.New movies aren’t welcomed.C.People don’t like goingto cinema.D.Many cinemas go out of business.3.What can we infer about the Logan Luxury5Cinema after its reopening?A.It makes a lot of money.B.It does well in disease prevention.C.It receives a large audience every day.D.It offers more enjoyable experience.4.What is the purpose of this text?A.To share the good old days.B.To explain a social problem.C.To ask for people’s help.D.To recommend a theater.CTo move visual technology into the future,sometimes it helps to make a little noise.Researchers have used sound waves to produce floating3-D images,create a sense of touch and even supply a soundtrack.Since the1940s,scientists have toyed with the concept of acoustic levitation(声悬浮),the use of soundwave vibrations to trap tiny things in midair.The technology has gained greater capabilities in the past decade.Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing to novel 3-D printing methods,or creating displays that would be visible from any angle without requiring a screen.Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation.In addition to visuals, the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a soundtrack.And the ultrasound speakers canalso concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a finger might feel a sense pushing back—a little like the object shown by the floating image is really there.Soundwaves create a3-D display!Display without a screen is remarkably useful.It means that everybody in the room can see the image—any angle,location—and that’s extremely helpful.As a communications system,such a display might one day allow users to chat with a3-D projection(投影)of a person who can turn his or her head to follow as they move around a room.The display will require a lot more work before you can install it in your living room,however.So far, this has been done in the research laboratory.We need to push it a little bit harder.We need to do more analysis to see if it would make sense to create a real display that people would have at home.The current system can only show simple graphics,such as a smiley face or figure eight,in real time.Still,we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology.If the system had only one speaker-covered surface instead of two,it could generate images that are bigger than the device itself.We can’t make a TV image that’s bigger than the TV—even a projector has to have a projection screen that’s bigger than the image itself.But with a volumetric(容积的)display,a small,portable device might produce a much larger picture.We can imagine,in the future,having volumetric displays in watches,for example,that create large images that just project out of your watch.5.From the first two paragraphs soundwave vibrations can be used to_.A.catch very small objectsin midairB.develop3-D printer’s capabilitiesC.replace a creative display screenpose soundtracks by making no noise6.What do we know about display without a screen?A.It has resulted in visual technology.B.It is possible to see the image from any direction.C.It is already ripe to create a real one at home.D.It has yet to be tested in the research laboratory.7.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.Outlooks for thenew technology.B.Situations of the modern technology.C.Praise for the cutting-edge technology.D.Room for the technicalimprovement.8.What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Hearing Is Seeing—Sound Waves Create a3-D DisplayB.Seeing is Believing—3-D Printing MethodsArriveC.Advancing Sense of Touch—3-D Images Float in theAirD.Promoting TV Technology—Chat with3-D ProjectionsDOne morning,when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams,he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible insect.He lay on his armor-like back,and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly,slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment.His many legs,pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.“What’s happened to me?”he thought.It wasn’t a dream.His room,a proper human room although a little too small,lay peacefully between its four familiar walls.A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table—Samsa was a travelling salesman—and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice,gilded frame.It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur scarf who sat upright,raising a heavy fur muff（暖手筒）that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather.Drops of rain could be heard hitting the window,which made him feel quite sad.“How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense,”he thought,but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right,and in his present state couldn’t get into that position.However hard he threw himself onto his right,he always rolled back to where he was.He must have tried it a hundred times,shut his eyes so that he wouldn’t have to look at the floundering legs,and only stopped when he began to feel a mild,dull pain there that he had never felt before.He thought,“What a heavy career it is that I’ve chosen!Travelling day in and day out.Doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home,and on top of that there's the curse of travelling,worries about making train connections,bad and irregular food,contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them.”He felt a slight itch up on his belly;pushed himself slowly up on his back towards the headboard so that he could lift his head better; found where the itch was,and saw that it was covered with lots of little white spots which he didn’t know what to make of;and when he tried to feel the place with one of his legs he drew it quickly back because assoon as he touched it he was overcome by a cold tremble.He slid back into his former position.“Getting up early all the time,”he thought,“it makes you stupid. You’ve got to get enough sleep.Other travelling salesmen live a life of luxury.For instance,whenever I go back to the guest house during the morning to copy out the contract,these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating their breakfasts.I ought to just try that with my boss;I’d get kicked out on the spot.But who knows,maybe that would be the best thing for me.If I didn’t have my parents to think about I’d have given in my notice a long time ago,I’d have gone up to the boss and told him just what I think,tell him everything I would,let him know just what I feel.He’d fall right off his desk!And it’s a funny sort of business to be sitting up there at your desk,talking down at your inferiors from up there,especially when you have to go right up close because the boss is hard of hearing.Well,there’s still some hope;once I’ve got the money together to pay off my parents’debt to him—another five or six years I suppose—that’s definitely what I’ll do.That’s when I’ll make the big change.First of all though,I’ve got to get up,my train leaves at five.”9.According to the passage,Gregor initially believes his transformation is a.A.curseB.diseaseC.nightmareD.fraud10.The author most likely includes a description of Gregor’s itch in paragraph4to.A.remind the reader that Gregor has already turned into an insectB.stress the disconnection between Gregors’thoughts and his actual situationC.present important details about what Gregor’s new body lookslikeD.show that Gregor’s thoughts are focused on the changes tohis body11.The passage most strongly suggests which of the following about Gregor’s attitude toward his profession?A.He is angry.B.He is eager to please.C.He is depressed.D.He is diligent.12.The main rhetorical（修辞的）effect of the final sentence of the excerpt(“First of all though,I've got to get up, my train leaves at five”)is to.A.provide a solution to the conflict Gregor facesB.foretell the conflict between Gregor and his bossB.illustrate Gregor’s flexibility and ability to move on D.emphasize Gregor’s extreme sense of duty第二节：（共5个小题；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。

AWho says inventions are only made by grown-ups and professionals? Over the years, children have also succeeded in making their useful contributions to the world. Here area few inventions that came to life from the minds of young children.Hero HelmetSeven-year-old Samuel Meyer's invention is aimed at stopping people from riding their bikes or skateboards without using a helmet. The Hero Helmet features an inbuilt remote that controls a lock on the wheels which unlocks when the Helmet is being worn by the rider. Samuel says: no helmet, no bike.Robotic EarthwormThe first thought that comes to mind is,why a robotic earthworm? Well,ten-year-old David Cohen had some useful applications in mind. He believed it could be used to find victims after a flood, earthquake or fire.The robot could get into small and dangerous placeswhere search dogs and humans could not go.B.g.A.C.O.N.Fifteen-year-old HannahHerbst's invention, which standsfor Bringing Electricity Access to Countries through Ocean Energy,was inspired by her pen pal wholives in Ethiopia and did not have access to lights.So she came up with B.E.A.C.O.N,which absorbs energy directly from ocean waves. Her invention won the“Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge”in 2015 and other numerous awards.Portable Wheelchair ControllerAt only eight years old, Amelia Fox created the invention to help lift people in and out of their wheelchair. This invention was not just born out of the desire to create something. Amelia developed this controller for her brother,who had just got hip surgery and needed the wheelchair to move around.1. Who is the youngest inventor?A. Samuel Meyer.B. David Cohen.C. Amelia Fox.D. Hannah Herbst.2. Which of the following can be used as a rescue tool?A. Hero HelmetB. B.E.A.C.O.N.C. Robotic Earthworm.D. Portable Wheelchair Controller.3. Why did Amelia Fox create the invention?A. To give her brother assistance.B. To benefit the earthquake victims.C. To generate electricity effectively.D. To protect bike riders from injuries.BThe only thing better than receiving a book is getting one delivered by a horse. Caitlin Gooch，the founder of Saddle Up and Read（SUAR），literally saddles（跨上马鞍）up ontoone of her family's horses and visits primary schools,libraries and youth groups to encouragestudents to read. The nonprofit in Wendell，North Carolina，also organizes book drives andschool-wide reading competitions.Along-with her.five brothers and sisters,Gooch grew.up on a family farm owned by herfather. Although he worked as a used car salesman，he built a race track on their 87-acrefarm,where he hosted races. Gooch said she grew up around 80 horses and felt blessed tohave grown up with them.In 2017,Gooch，who had been working at daycare centers and youth groups，noticedthat some of the younger children struggled to read. She decided to work with a local library:Any student who checked out more than three books would be entered into a prize draw. Fivenames would be selected out of the.draw and each received a trip to visit the horses on theGooch family farm.It was a hit. Gooch expanded her services by creating her nonprofit，SUAR. WhenGooch shared her organization's story on Twitter,it reached over 70,000 likes in a week, Sheeven got a shout out from Oprah Winfrey，a famous talk show hostess. She's raised over$ 20,000 from supporters across the world.“Now that it's sort of,all eyes on me，there'sdefinitely an opportunity to do something more,”Gooch said.Gooch isn't just encouraging children to read more.She's also showing them thathorseback riders can look like her.Online，she's often referred to as the“Black Cowgirl”.“It feels amazing to be that kind of representation,”Gooch said.4. Why does Gooch deliver books on horseback?A. To deliver books quickly.B. To promotefamily business.C. To get students into reading.D. To advertise her organization.5. What did Gooch do to help kids with reading difficulty?A. Hold reading competitions.B. Work with the youth groups.C. Donate books to a local library.D. Organize visits to the family farm.6.What can be learned about SUAR from Paragraph 4?A. It is well received.B. It has made a big profit.C. It needs further expansion.D. It was criticized by Oprah.7. What can best describe Gooch?A.Honest.B. Inspiring.C. Brave.D. PatientCNot so long ago therapy（治疗）was limited to an hour-long advising session on asofa；now you can access free advice on TikTok in under aminute.Perhaps this new trend is growing because it offers easy bite-size answers to big complex questions.The problem with TikTok,however,is that the videos have to be under 60 seconds, which are about serious mental health illnesses being reduced to brief sentences with quick fixes from sometimes unqualified non-professionals. And with the average age ofTikTokusers between 18 and 24,how helpful is TikTok therapy?“When I first started creating mental health content,I didn't expect anyone to listen,”explains Jane Smith,who runs a private practice in Hampshire.“But it turns out people are hungry for this sort of information.”Although there is a concern about the videos'increasing the risk of self-diagnosis（自诊），Jane thinks otherwise.She compares self-diagnosing a mental health problem to self-diagnosing a common cold,“If you want to find out about the symptoms of a cold, you can look it up online. That's not a risk because you can't do much with that information until you get to the doctor anyway.”Yet despite concerns,the comments on TikTok therapy videos are filled with praises.Rachel,23,says she finds them very relatable:“If yousee a video discussing anxiety,it can you help you acknowledge and discuss topics you might not feel sate to do in other places. It makes me feel less alone.”We've seen some great mental health content on Tik1ok. However,it s important to ask remember that not all the information you find online will be reliable and it can be useful toask yourself some questions including who is sharing it and why.8. Why is TikTok therapy getting popular?A. It sells at a low price.B.It aims at younger users.C. It provides brief solutions.D. It is offered by professionals.9.What does Janethink of TikTok videos?A.They may cause some potential risks.B.They are better than going to doctors.C. They are of much help to people in need.D. They show symptoms of disease in detail.10.What does the underlined word"them"in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?A. Concerns.B. Videos.C. CommentsD. Praises.11. What may the author agree?A. TikTok will replace hospitals in the future.B.It is quite easy to find reliable medical advice.C. Everyone can create his own TikTok videos.D. We should be careful about online information.DFace masks and protective suits can save lives. But what happens after people are done using them? Binish Desai,the founder of Eco-Eclectic Technologies from Western India,saw the impact brought by the rising use and demand for single-use masks and kits due to the coronations pandemic （冠状病毒流行病），so he created Brick 2.0 to prevent tons of single-use Personal Protective Equipment(PPE)from being waste and ending up in landfills or water streams.Although PPE is essential for medical use,it is extremely necessary to assess new alternativesand to raise awareness regarding its proper use and disposal（处理）.A study published by the American Chemical Society suggests that 129 billion face masks are used monthly during the coronations pandemic,which causes great environmental pollution.In India alone,over 18,000 British tons of coronations-related biomedical waste was generated in just four months between June and September. The waste would take hundreds of years break down,according to the magazine Waste Advantage.Brick 2.0 is a new version of the brick made from industrial waste,now also including used face masks and protective suits. The process starts with the collection of PPE waste through garbage cans placed in small shops and apartment buildings,with easy access for people to throw away their used items.Once in the factory,the collections are kept for 72 hours for safety reasons.Then they are cleaned and torn into pieces before being mixed with other waste.Finally,the material is shaped,and once dry,each brick is ready to use.It is three times stronger than conventional bricks at twice the size and half the price.In a complex circumstance like the one we are living in these days,this solution is not only relatively easy to operate,but also very achievable in the short term,which can really help overcome today's global environmental challenges.12.Why did Desai create Brick 2.0?A. To recycle the PPE waste.B. To reduce production cost.C. To protect water recourse.D. To prevent serious disease.13.What do the figures in Paragraph 2 indicate?A. The study lacks sufficient evidence.B. The pandemic is difficult to control.C. The demand for face masks is in decline.D. The environment is facing severe challenges.14.What is mainly discussed about Brick2.0in Paragraph3?A. Its function.B. Its advantage.C. Its main characteristic.D. Its production process.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Innovation never endsB. Environmental issues countC. Transform waste into treasureD. Defend your life with face masks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。

AOn a rainy afternoon, maybe one of the following books will keep you company leisurely, allowing you to spend your time alone as well as stepping into a different world.Don't Shed Your Tears for Anyone Who Lives on These Streets, by Patricio PronIn April 1945, Italy, a writer disappeared at a conference and was found dead at another place. Thirty years later, a young man interviewed survivors from the conference, trying to uncover the truth about what happened and its consequences. This novel, by a well-known Argentine writer, explores art, crime and politics.When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul KalanithiAt thirty-six, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed(诊断) with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient. This autobiography finds hope and beauty in the face of death as Kalanithi attempts to answer the question "What makes a life worth living?".To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper LeeSet in a small Alabama town in the 1930s, the story focuses on honest, highly respected lawyer Atticus Finch, who puts his career on the line when he agrees to represent Tom Robinson, a black man accused of committing a crime.Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A true (as told to me) story, by Bess KalbBess Kalb saved every voicemail from her grandmother Bobby Bell who died at ninety. In this book, Bobby is speaking to Bess once more, in a voice as loving as it ever was in life and brings us several generations of brave women. They include Bobby's mother, who traveled alone from Belarus to America to survive, and Bess's mother, who always fought against convention.1. What type of book is the first novel?A. Sci-fi.B. Biography.C. Detective books.D. History books.2. Which book explores life and death?A. To Kill a Mockingbird.B. When Breath Becomes Air.C. Don't Shed Your Tears for Anyone Who Lives on These Streets.D. Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A true (as told to me) story.3. Who is the main character in the last novel?A. Bobby Bell.B. Bess Kalb.C. Bess's mother.D. Bobby's mother.BI need help! I have to fix a leaking pipe in my bathroom but I'm not sure where to begin. I know I lack the necessary DIY skills, but luckily there are numerous books and online videos that will hopefully give me the information I need. Publications that help us to help ourselves are nothing new, but the range of them is increasing with advice being given far beyond practical tasks around the house.Bookshops these days are full of titles which claim to boost your self-confidence, your wealth, your love life or your career. Some claim to improve your life within seven days! It's big business and it's thought that the self-help industry is worth $10bn in the US alone.The first self-help book called 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' was published in 1936, and has since sold 30 million copies and is still popular now. It includes guidance on how to make people like you and how to make your life happier. It might seem strange to think that we need a book to tell us how to live our lives but self-help books remain a go to remedy for those of us looking for enlightenment.There are, of course, trends in what we need help with. Emma Marshall, who works at British bookshop Waterstones, says “at the moment we're in the tidying up, getting rid of things trend... I think the trend right now is about slowing down in your life." It seems there is always something we need help with, and reading about it can be very therapeutic - it makes us feel good, even if we don't do anything about it.Of course, the internet has become the place to go to for salvation. We've got used to searching for solutions online, and now these solutions even include how to fix or improve our lives. Interestingly, psychologist Caroline Beaton, says people called 'millennials' are self-critical —they are aware of their own faults —which also means they're more likely to spend time and money on self-help. There's also a theory that the self-help industry does well during a recession —people are perhaps even more likely to reach for self-help to improve their situation.Whatever the reason for the continued interest in self-help, it's good to know help is at hand when we need it. The alternative to finding a happier life is just to come to terms with yourself as you are -I know, I read about it in a book! Do you believe in self-help books?4. Where else can you get self-help advice apart from books?A.From teachersB.From friendsC.From the InternetD.From parents5.What do you know about self-books?A.They may offer you some keys to success.B.They hasn't gained great popularity.C.All of us enjoy them very much.D.They can certainly improve your life within seven days.6. Why do millennials spend more money on self-help books according to Caroline Beaton?A.They are stuck in a recession.B.They realize they are not perfect.C.They are more likely to have access to books.D.They haven't got used to searching for solutions online.7. What can we infer from the passage?A.People don't have interest in self-help books.B.Accepting yourself as you are makes you happier.C.The self-help industry makes little difference during a recession.D.The current trend in self-help books is about rushing around and taking things easier.CIt used to be mostly the military that used small, unpiloted aircraft, called “drones”. The little planes were very costly. But as they have dropped in price more people have begun to use them. Rescue workers and farmers are among the new users.The fast rate of the development of computer technology, image sensing devices, satellite navigation (卫星导航) and smartphones has led to lower-priced drones. Researchers and developers have learned how to build smaller and less-costly drones. Moviemakers are using drones to film from the sky. Historians use them when they explore ancient buildings. Rescue workers use them to look for people. And now farmers are using them to monitor their crops.Romain Faroux is a French businessman who starts companies. His father was a farmer. He believed drones could help farmers. He helped create a company that developed a small drone that could be controlled by peopl e on the ground. They called it “Agridrone”. It uses a special “optical sensor (光学传感器)” to examine crops. The technology used is similar to that used by smartphones—except it has wings. A computer program directs the drone to fly over the crops. The sensor on the drone records four different-colored “bands”of sunlight that are reflected off the crops.Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is a farmer. He says the drone flies over his crops at different times of the season. This provides a lot of information about his crops. The drone pictures show him the exact amount of fertilizer the crops need. It also shows exactly where the fertilizer is needed.Romain Faroux says farmers use information collected by the Agridrone to place fertilizer only in areas where it is needed. This saves money and reduces pollution. Before they used the drones, farmers would put the same amount of fertilizer everywhere. Drones also save time because farmers can examine up to three hectare (公顷) in about a minute.8.Why do rescue workers and farmers begin to use drones?A.Drones can monitor their cattle.B.Drones’ prices have dropped.C.Drones can help them get more business.D.Drones’ sizes become smaller.9.What can the drones developed by Romain Farour’s company do?A.Explore ancient buildings.B.Put fertilizer on the crops.C.Help farmers examine their crops.D.Help rescue workers look for people.10.What can the sensor on the drone do?A.Help the sunlight shine on the crops.B.Direct the plane to fly over the crops.C.Examine the different colors of the crops.D.Record the sunlight reflected off the crops.11.According to the text, the use of the drone is __________.A.environment-friendlyB.wastefulC.costlyD.safeDScientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, they halt the interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushingthem out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.12. What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean?A. End.B. Develop.C.

AIf you have difficulty deciding on your book list, the following ideas shared by some great talents might help you out.Read books from eras past // Albert EinsteinKeeping up with current events and latest books from the bestseller list is a big job, but Albert Einstein thought it was vital to leave some room for older works, too. Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” he wrote in a1952 journal article.Don’t jump too quickly from book to book // SenecaSeneca, a first-century Roman Stoic philosopher, believed that reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you. “You must spend much time among a limited number of master thinkers, if you would gain ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind,” he wrote.Shop at secondhand bookstores // Virginia WoolfIn her essay Street Haunting, Virginia Woolf described the benefits of shopping in secondhand bookstores, where the works “have come together in vast flocks of various feather, and have a charm which the carefully chosen books of the library lack.”According to Woolf, looking through used books gives you the chance to come across something that wouldn’t have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers, who are often much more selective in building their collections than secondhand bookstore owners. redecorate old ideas; old books suggest and inspire new ideas.”1.Who held the idea that great works should be digested?A.

Her hometown Zaidai Village in Guizhou, southwestern China, is home to the Grand Song of the Dong ethnic group.The Grand Song of Dong dates from more than 2,500 years ago. The way Dong singers use their vocal cords ( 声带) is different from how formally trained singers do. It is a folk chorus with multi-parts, no conductor, and no accompaniment. Organically growing from their natural surroundings, it is recognized internationally as “the sound of Nature.”Before the Dong people had a writing system in 1958，the Dong culture, their history and stories were all recorded by means of songs. As a Dong saying goes, “Rice feeds the body and songs enrich the soul”. The Dong people sing right from their childhood. While not singing, they a ll work in their rice field.Guanmei has been singing the Grand Song of Dong all her life, making her a famous singing teacher in her hometown and nearby areas. “The songs are our means of passing on wisdom, knowledge and life experiences to others. I will not exist in this world 100 years later, but Grand songs will. I’m honored to do this job, ” Guanmei said.Kind-hearted, Guanmei has been volunteering to teach the Grand Song of Dong to the Dong children for over 30 years. Now she has more than 300 students. Guanmei is pleased to see the village children come to her house willingly when they have free time.“Nowadays, more and more young people leave the village and settle in cities. Decades later, theDong children out of the village might know nothing about Grand songs. We should do something just now. It’s our mission.

Take it from an Olympic athlete.After Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, lost her balance in the 800-meter run, she lost the race that would qualify her for the Olympics. Instead of focusing on her failure, she prepared to win in the next race. “The track doesn’t care about your feelings,” she told New York Magazine Intelligence. “You’ve just got to move forward.” She did indeed move forward and ended up winning third place in the 1500-meter race a week later to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process.Researchers from Harvard found that overemphasizing goals based on measurable outcomes often leads to risk-taking, improper behavior and reduced motivation.When you become overly focused on achieving the goal, you may lose sight of your original purpose for accomplishing the goal in the first place. Another danger is actually completing the goal without setting a plan for what’s next. For example, some marathon runners experience what’s called the “post-race blues”. Achieving your goal may cause you to drop the good habits that got you there in the first place.“After you set a goal, it’s best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving it; and to judge yourself based on how well you manage that process,” columnist Brad Stulberg said.Ultimately, changing your mindset from goals to process will lead you to achieve small victories on your way to accomplishing long-term goals. It leaves you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the measurable outcome.8.What does the underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Influential.B. Harmful.C. Satisfying.D. Unpredictable.9.What does the writer want to tell us by referring to Brenda Martinez’s story?A.The ways to deal with failure.B.The process matters more.C.Determination means a lot for an athlete.D.The consequence of making the right decision.10.Why may some marathon runners experience the “post-race blues”?A.Because they are satisfied with their achievements.B.Because they haven’t gained what they want.C.Because they haven’t got a further plan.D.Because they lose sight of their original purpose.11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.How to set a long-term goal.B.The way to realize your aim.C.The benefits of fixing on the process.D.How to shift your focus from goal to process.DA master of words, a literary genius and a philosopher, Russian author Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is known by many as the greatest writer of all time. Even in 2020, 110 years after his death, his two greatest masterpieces, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, continue to be widely read, appreciated and highly influential.“If the world could write by itself, it would write like Tolstoy,” the Russian author Isaak Babel once said. Tolstoy’s realistic fiction is famous for its powers of observation and ability to min e the depths of human consciousness, such as the psychological exploration of a married woman in AnnaKarenina. In War and Peace, Tolstoy also describes Russia’s national soul and expresses public unity through his many characters. His characters feel alive; they grow, they change and they stick in the minds of readers long after the final page is turned.Tolstoy’s influence on literature is without comparison. Authors regularly mention his novels as their highest ambition, works that they could only dream of writing themselves. American writer Francis Scott called Tolstoy the “greatest of all novelists” in his essay. He wrote, “from his first words, we can be sure of one thing at any rate – here is a man who sees what we see, who proceeds, too, as we are accustomed to proceeding, not from the outside inwards but from the inside outwards.”“He defends fundamental values such as love, friendship and family relations. He gives positive answers to the questions mankind is asking. In this sense he gives more hope,” Tolstoy’s great-great grandson, Vladimir Ilyich Tolstoy, said.Tolstoy’s message of peace has even had an effect on the real world. He inspired the leader of India’s independenc e movement, Mahatma Ghandi, and his philosophy of non-violence over the course of a year in which they wrote letters to each other.12.What does the second paragraph intend to tell us?A.The writing style of Tolstoy.B.Tolstoy’s influence on other authors.C.The characters in Tolstoy’s works.D.The introduction to the greatest works of Tolstoy.13.Which words can best describe Tolstoy according to the passage?A.Humorous and caring.B.Determined and optimistic.C.Productive and hard-working.D.Insightful and peace-loving.14.How does the author introduce Tolstoy in this passage?A.By contrasting with other authors.B.By analyzing characteristics of his works.C.By quoting comments and opinions.D.By describing his deeds in life.15.Which can be the best title for the passage?A.Tolstoy and His WorksB.Tolstoy’s Life and AchievementsC.War and Peace: a Great MasterpieceD.Tolstoy: a Writer Beyond Comparison 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。
