2020届湖南省普通高等学校招生全国统一考试考前演练（四）英语试题一、阅读选择1.Cities all over the world celebrate Christmas in unique and memorable ways. The following international destinations are just a few of the countless choices to consider.Quebec cityQuebec city has long drawn admirers to its historic district—the famed city wall, strange cobblestone lanes（鹅卵石小路）and handsome stone houses. This area transforms into a scenic Christmas village each December. The 403-year-old capital of Quebec province takes pride in the outdoors at Christmas time, when stone buildings shine with lights. Consider cross-country ski on the Plains of Abraham, or skate at the place d'Youville square. EdinburghEdinburgh, a magic city full of staircases and hills as well as Georgian and neo-Classical buildings, is famous for its mixture of the modern and the old. This is evident in winter, when Scotland's capital puts on a six-week festival lasting until Jan. 6 that goes way beyond Christmas markets. You can ride roller coasters, climb a wall of ice and attend a vivid Christmas-themed show by the cabaret troupe（剧团）La Clique.ZurichIf buying gifts is on your travel schedule, Zurich is an impressive shopping center, particularly around the holidays, from multiple Christmas markets and the luxury（奢侈品）dress shops of Bahnhofstrasse Street, to the independent designers and antique shops in the emerging industrial zones. Another annual lighting spectacle（壮观场面）, Lichterschwimmen, on Dec. 21, includes hundreds of tiny lanterns that are sent floating down the River Limmat.SydneyA lack of snow does not dampen the Christmas spirit in Sydney. One great and free way tofeel the holiday is to take this Dec. 21 walking tour of George Street, which promises "the most sharable window displays and coloured lights." One advantage over other destinations: warm, sandy beaches that lie just minutes from downtown, where the natural beauty of Australia's most popular city will be waiting.（1）What can you do in Ouebec city during Christmas?A Ride roller coasters.B Take part in a walking tour.C Enjoy cross-countryski. D Watch a Christmas-themed show.（2）Where should you go if you want to enjoy a Christmas without snow?A Quebec city.B Edinburgh.C Zurich.D Sydney.（3）Where is this text most likely from?A A guidebook.B A diary.C A novel.D A research paper.2.One of the most important things that has happened to me occurred long before I was aware of it. As the story goes, I was three days old and Mom was singing "The Name Game" song to me: "Christine-Bo-Bean-Banana-Fanna-Fo-Feen." By day four, I was given a new name—Christine-Bo-Bean, or just Bo-Bee to my mother. Now, I am Bo to her and close friends.Why is this nickname（昵称）so important to me? I once read a book with a passage about True Names which explains that when a person's true name is spoken, she has a distinct aura （光环）around her. Although I have been Bo to my mother all my life, I recently discovered that my true name is not on my birth certificate; it's the name that is as unique and memorable as I am.People usually know me as Christine. They still see me as a quiet, bookish child. They don't know who I am now. My most recent hopes, fears, goals, dreams and opinions escape their notice; it is easier to think of me as I was. In their minds, they have a box labeled "Christine" in which I fit neatly, and as Christine, I was content with the perfect packaging.Those who call me Bo or Bo-Bee really know me. They remember who I was and realize I have changed. Bo is a tight squeeze in the old "Christine" boxes. The Bo I am is ever-changing, ever-growing and ever-learning.When I was Christine, I was quiet, and easily scared. I feared groups, meeting new people and sharing my opinions. I was more comfortable with a book than my best friend. As Christine, I thought everyone was better than I was.As Bo, I still love my books, but I want to discuss them. As Bo, my dream is to live where I can experience new things and meet new people. I dream about being alone on a stage lit by a single spotlight; I have that confidence now. I am equal to those I once saw as better than me.A name shouldn't make such a difference, but sometimes, when a person finds his or her True Name, they develop a new shine visible to friends, family and especially themselves. I can't always be Bo. Sometimes exposing myself is still scary and I feel too nervous; I want to hide in those old boxes. Mostly, however, I am ready for the world. So, just call me Bo.（1）What does "One of the most important things" in Paragraph 1 imply?A The author was given a name.B The author's mother gave birth to her.C The author was told a story about names.D The author listened to a song about names.（2）What do we know about the people who know the author as Christine?A They don't understand the author's feelings.B They don't agree with what the author thinks.C They don't realize the author has changed.D They don't know the author has changed her name.（3）What can be inferred about the author in the past?A She showed no interest in reading.B She took pleasure in finding newthings. C She loved reading and sharing books with friends. D She lacked confidence and preferred to be alone.（4）Why does the author want to be called Bo?A It is a name that is unique.B It is a name given by her mother.C She wants to remember her past.D She enjoys being with other people.3.We've known that sitting for long periods of time every day has countless health consequences, like a higher risk of heart disease. But now a new study has found that sitting is also bad for your brain.A study published last week, conducted by Dr. Prabha Siddarth at the University of California, showed that sedentary（久坐的）behavior is associated with reduced thickness of the medial temporal lobe（中颞叶）, a brain area that is critical to learning and memory.The researchers asked a group of 35 healthy people, ages 45 to 70, about their activity levels and the average number of hours each day spent sitting and then scanned their brains. They found that the subjects who reported sitting for longer periods had the thinnest medial temporal lobes. It means that the more time you spend in a chair the worse it is for your brain health, resulting in possible damage to learning and memory.What is also interesting is that this study did not find a significant association between the level of physical activity and thickness of this brain area, suggesting that exercise, even severe exercise, may not be enough to protect you from the harmful effects of sitting.It then surprisingly turned out that you don't even have to move much to enhance cognition （认知）: just standing will do the trick. For example, two groups of subjects were asked to complete a test while either sitting or standing. Participants are presented with conflicting stimuli（刺激）, like the word "green" in blue ink, and asked to name the color. Subjects thinking on their feet beat those who sat by a 32-millisecond margin.The cognitive effects of severe physical exercise are well known. But the possibility that standing more and sitting less improves brain health could lower the bar for everyone.I know, this all runs counter to received ideas about deep thought, from our grade school teachers, who told us to sit down and focus, to Rodin's famous "Thinker," seated with chin on hand.They were wrong. You can now all stand up.（1）What can we infer from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A Severe exercise can lessen the damage of sitting.B Severe exercise can greatly improve our brain health.C Sedentary behavior will possibly damage our brain.D Brain health has nothing to do with sedentary behavior.（2）What does the underlined word "margin" in Paragraph 5 mean?A blankB edgeC decreaseD difference（3）What is the received idea about deep thought?A Sitting more is good for our mental health.B Sitting is better when wethink. C Exercise more can improve our cognition. D We should stand while thinking.（4）The passage mainly tells us ________.A people tend to sit while thinkingB standing more can make our brainhealthier C physical exercise can improve our brain health D sedentary behavior leads to countless health problems4.If you've spent any amount of time boating, fishing, or bird-watching at lakes and rivers, you have most likely seen fishes jumping out of the water. I have seen it many times. Certainly, fishes will exit water in desperate attempts to escape enemies. Dolphins take advantage ofthe behavior, forming a circle and catching the frightened fishes in midair. But just as we may run fast from fun or from fear, different emotions might motivate fishes to jump.Mobula rays（蝠鲼）aren't motivated by fear when they throw their impressive bodies—up to a seventeen-foot wingspan（the distance from the end of one wing to the end of the other）and a ton in weight—skyward in leaps（跳跃）of up to ten feet. They do it in schools（鱼群）of hundreds. They usually land on their bellies, but sometimes they land on their backs. Some scientists think it might be a way of removing parasites（寄生虫）. But I think that the rays are enjoying themselves.In the clear waters of Florida's Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge. I watched several schools of fifty or more mullets（鲻鱼）moving in beautiful formation. Their well-built bodies were most evident when they leaped from the water. Most of the time I saw one ortwo leaps by a fish, but one made a series of seven. They usually land on their sides. Each jump was about a foot clear of the water and two to three feet in length.Nobody knows for sure why the fish leaps. One idea is that they do it to take in oxygen. The idea is supported by the fact that mullets leap more when the water is lower in oxygen, but is challenged by the likelihood that jumping costs more energy than is gained by breathing air.It is hard to imagine they will feel any fresher when back in water.Might these fishes also be leaping for fun? There is some new evidence. Gordon M. Burghardt recently published accounts of a dozen types of fishes leaping repeatedly, sometimes over floating objects—sticks, plants, sunning turtles—for no clear reason other than entertainment.（1）What can we say about the dolphins in Paragraph 1?A They have great escaping skills.B They are easily frightened.C They are very clever.D They love jumping.（2）What do the ray and the mullet have in common when jumping?A Both do it in groups.B Both land on their bellies.C Both jump many feet out of water.D Both make leaps one after the other.（3）How does the author feel about the idea mentioned in Paragraph 4?A It is valuable.B It is interesting.C It is imaginative.D It is questionable.（4）Which may be the reason for fish leaps according to the author?A To remove parasites.B To amuse themselves.C To take in more oxygen.D To express positive emotions.二、七选五5. 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。

When I was a child,I loved to go fishing with my dad.But the only thing that wasn't very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything.I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why.He always answered,“Son,if you want to catch a fish,you have to think like a fish.”I remember being even more upset then because,“I'm not a fish!”I didn't know how to think like a fish.Besides,I reasoned,how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant.So,I read some books on fish.And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings.I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature.That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer.Besides,water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade.Yet,fish don't have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes.The more I understood fish,the more I became effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world,I remember hearing my first boss say,“We all need to think like salespeople.”But it didn't completely make sense.My dad never once said,“If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.”What he said was,“You need to think like a fish.”Years later,with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me,I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers.It is not an easy job.I will showyou how in the following chapters.26.Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was a child?A.He could not catch a fish.B.His father was not patient with him.C.His father did not teach him fishing.D.He could not influence a fish as his father did.27.What did the author's father really mean by saying“think like a fish”?A.To read about fish.B.To learn fishing by oneself.C.To understand what fish think.D.To study fishing skills and know the fish better.28.According to the author,fish are most likely to be found________.A.in deep water on sunny daysB.in deep water on cloudy daysC.in shallow water under sunlightD.in shallow water under waterside trees29.After entering the business world,the author found that________.A.it was easy to think like a customerB.his father's fishing advice was inspiringC.his first boss's sales ideas were reasonableD.it was difficult to sell services to poor peopleB How much sleep do we need?We are all different.Some people need only three hours of sleep a night.Others need ten hours of sleep a night.Most Americans sleep an average (平均)of seven to eight hours a night.After the age of fifty,the average sleep time goesdown to6.5hours a day.Most people have a night when they cannot sleep.About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep.Many of these people cannot fall asleep.The name of this problem is insomnia.This is not a new problem.Many famous people in history had insomnia.Some of these people had special ideas to make themsleep.Benjamin Franklin,a famous statesman and inventor,had four beds.He moved from one to another to fall asleep.King Louis XIV of France had413beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them.Mark Twain,a famous American writer,had a different way.He lay on his side across the end of the bed!30.Most Americans usually sleep about________hours a night.A.3B.5C.7D.1031.People need________sleep as they get older.A.moreB.lessC.noD.little32.The underlined word“insomnia”in the second paragraph means________.A.being unable to sleepB.being unable to eatC.being unable to workD.being unable to play33.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.King Louis XIV was an American.B.Benjamin Franklin was a writer.C.Mark Twain had413beds.D.Many famous people in history had insomnia.C In the United States,it is important to be on time for appointments,classes,and meetings.However,in some cultures,being late is not considered a big problem.For example,in some Latin American countries,people often arrive late for social events.In the US,if you are late for an appointment,you should call and let the person know.If you are going to be more than a few minutes late,it is polite to call and say that you will be late.If you are running very late,it is a good idea to call and reschedule the appointment.When you are invited to someone's home for a meal,it is polite to arrive on time or a few minutes early.If you are going to be late,it is important to call and let the host know.In the US,being on time shows respect for other people's time.It is also a sign of professionalism and reliability.34.In some Latin American countries,being late for social events is________.A.not considered a big problemB.considered impoliteC.considered a sign of disrespectD.punished by law35.In the US,if you are late for an appointment,you should________.A.not call the personB.call and say that you will be lateC.reschedule the appointment without callingD.arrive late without any explanation36.When invited to someone's home for a meal in the US,it is polite to arrive________.A.on time or a few minutes earlyB.on time or a few minutes lateC.a few hours earlyD.a few hours late四、书面表达（25分）请以“My Dream

His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but also provided important scientific information about the country’s land and geography.Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year- old mother as tradition required.But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, she refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.So at the age of twenty and with his mother’s support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and manydiscoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his Journeys.Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.66.Which of the following best describes Xu's mother?A. Strict but humorousB. Kind but uneducatedC. helpful and hardworking.D. open- minded and supportive67.Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels?A.It offered him the chance to meet different kinds of people.B.It helped him to save money and travel for a longer time.C.It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail.D.It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in68.Which of the following is true about Xu’s book The Travel Notes at Xu Xiake?A.It was only made public after Xu died.B.It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.C.It was the first travel book ever written in China.D.It was mainly about the different people of China.69.What is the correct order for the following events from Xu’s life?a.He went on his first journey.b.His book was finally printed.c.He returned to his hometown for the last time.d.He developed an interest in books about other places.e.He started managing the family farm after his father died.A. a-e-d-c-bB. d-e-a-c-bC. d-e-a-b-cD. a-b-c-d-e70.What is the passage mainly about?A. Xu’s general life storyB. Xu’s difficulties in his travelsC. Xu’s important discoveriesD. Xu’s book The Travel Notes of Xu XiakeCWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by an electronic teacher. This electronic teacher is not a human-like robot walking around the classroom.Instead, he is a computer-created head that appears, when needed , on students’ computer or phone screens. His name is Bill.Created by technology company Smart Machines. Bill is able to show human-like behavior. He is designed to teach a special program about environmental-friendly power created by the sun and wind. This program, started in 2005, used to be taught by human teachers.Just like human teachers, Bill is ab le to immediately respond to the students’ questions and opinions about the topic. Thanks to computer cameras, he is also able to see and react to students’ physical actions. For example, if a student smiles at Bill, he responds by smiling back. This two- way exchange helps get the students’ attention .More importantly, it allows the program developers to improve Bill’s behavior and knowledge base when needed.This program has been a great success, according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost. Frost says, “What is interesting to me is the children’s reaction to Bill. He really captures their attention. ”Frost thinks kids don’t find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people do because they have grown up in a time of computers and smart phones.It is doubtful, however, that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon. For one, this talking head’s knowledge base is not large. More importantly, even the smartest computer programs can’t guess and react to all the unexpected situations that educators face daily. Bill’s future might be a “personal tutor”, providing kids with one-on-one help for different subjects and topics.71.What do we know about Bill?A. It’s a human-like robot.B. It’s a kind of computer gameC. It’s a computer recording toolD. It’s a computer-created talking head72.How does the two-way exchange help the program developers?A.It enables them to improve BillB.It lets them correct students’mistakesC.It allows Bill to respond more quicklyD.It helps them study students’ body language.73.The underlined word “ they ”in Paragraph 4 refers to .A. kidsB. older peopleC. smart machinesD. program developers74.Bill is NOT good at .A. attracting students’ attentionB. understanding body languageC. responding to students’ questionsD. dealing with unexpected situations75.How might Bill be used in the future according to the last paragraph?A.To work as human classroom teachersB.To encourage students’ interest in computers.C.To give students personal help with different subjects.D.To monitor the behavior of the students in the classroom.第⼆节判断(本节共 5 ⼩:每⼩题 1 分,共 5 分)请根据下⾯的短⽂内容判断下列句⼦,如果正确就选“T",如果错误就选“F”,如果⽂中没有提到就选“N”,并将答案填涂在答题卡上. People send birthday greetings by using cards in both eastern and western countries. It is not known when and where exactly the tradition of sending birthday cards began. It is believed that it began in England in the early nineteenth century. In those days people sent birthday cards when they couldn’t wish somebody a happy birthday in person.In 1840 the first stamp was used in Britain and sending birthday cars became easier, cheaper and more popular. The development of color printing processes(⼯艺，流程) in the 1930s also helped to increase sales of birthday cards.Today cards are often given with a present, even when people can express their wishes face to face. In recent times e-cards have also become popular. Many people are starting to use e-cards instead of traditional cards because they are free, environmentally friendly and easy to arrive. So will e-cards take place of paper cards completely in ten or twenty years? Probably not. For example, for kids and old people, they don’t use e-cards very often.If your birthday is coming soon, do you wish that at least one person could congratulate you with a beautiful card then?76.People send birthday cards in many countries. 76-80 TFTFN77.The tradition of sending birthday cards began in France in the early 18th century.78.Sending birthday cards became more popular after the stamps were used.79.E-cards will take paper cards’ place completely soon.80.Birthday cards are always colorful and expensive.第三节简答(本节共 5 ⼩题: 每⼩题 2 分,共 10 分)请根据以下短⽂内容,回答短⽂后⾯的问题,并将答案填写在答题卡上,答题回答词数不得超过 10 个单词。
