2023年浙江省高考英语模拟卷一、阅读理解(共10个小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)阅读理解Self-driving cars are just around the corner. Such vehicles will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could cut down on traffic, reduce pollution and limit accidents. But how should driverless cars handle emergencies? People disagree on the answer. And that might put the brakes on this, a new study concludes.To understand the challenge, imagine a car that suddenly meets some pedestrians(行人) in the road. Even with braking, it's too late to avoid a crash. So the car's artificial intelligence must decide whether to swerve(急转弯). To save the pedestrians, should the car swerve off the road or swerve into oncoming traffic? What if such options would likely kill the car's driver?Researchers used online surveys to study people's attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. Survey participants mostly agreed that automated cars should be designed to protect the most people. But there's a dilemma(困境). Those same surveyed people want to ride in cars that protect passengers at all costs — even if the pedestrians would now end up dying.Makers of computerized cars are in a tough spot, Bonnefon's group warns. Most buyers would want their car to be programmed to protect them in preference to other people. However, regulations might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. That would mean saving the most people. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers. If so, all the potential benefits of driverless cars would be lost.Compromises might be possible, Kurt Gray says. He is a psychologist at the University of North Carolina. He thinks that even if all driverless cars are programmed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will decline. Those vehicles might be dangerous to pedestrians on rare occasions. But they "won't speed, won't drive drunk and won't text while driving, which would be a win for society."1.Compared with the traditional cars, what's the advantage of driverless cars?A.People can more easily afford them.B.They do greater harm to the environment.C.They can reduce traffic jams.D.The traffic accidents are likely to be on the increase.2.What do we learn from the text?A.People are in a difficult situation about driverless cars.B.Car makers believe driverless cars could attract buyers.C.Most buyers would want their cars to protect the pedestrians.D.Survey participants think driverless cars should protect the least people.3.What is Kurt Gray's attitude toward self-driving cars?A.Doubtful.B.Favorable.C.Sympathetic.D.Disapproving.4.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Environment.B.Entertainment.C.Health.D.Technology.5.阅读理解Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moon — a total lunar eclipse (月食) — on the roof of their house.Now a seventh grader at East Prairie Elementary School, Dobek recently won the national Discovery Education Lockheed Martin Beyond Challenge by designing a space station for travelling to Mars.She says that night watching the lunar eclipse started a strong desire in her that has yet to run out of fuel. So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind."I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her search," Smeeton said. "She immediately started researching bone density (密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars. ""My design will ensure the safety of the astronauts and make sure their comfort is out of this world," Dobek says.Dobek's design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in. It also includes the SGF or Self-Growing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars.Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek's design. A simulator (模拟装置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual reality environment. Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes."I want to tell other kids to follow their passions," Dobek said. "Whatever they want to do, they should push for it and always try their best."(1)Dobek first became interested in space when .A.she was still a seventh graderB.she studied at a junior high schoolC.she lived on the top of their houseD.she watched an eclipse of the moon(2)Smeeton recommended that Dobek take the challenge because .A.she knew Dobek liked challenges in lifeB.she had no other students interested in MarsC.Dobek knew how to research bone density of astronautsD.she was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performance(3)What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station?A.The environment on Mars.B.The safety of the supplies.C.The activities for astronauts.D.The comfort of the astronauts.阅读理解Learn a language in the native country and add some extracurricular fun with these holiday courses that offer a skill or some culture, too.Mandarin and various activities, ChinaFour hours of lessons a day plus the benefit of one-to-one level assessment and study plan is the deal at the Hutong School's Mandarin courses in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. A two-week course also includes up to four activities a week—tai chi, cooking, even skiing—and there are outings at the weekends to explore more of China.Greek and culture, LefkadaOmilo runs Greek courses in Athens and Nafplion, and on the islands of Syros and Lefkada. The latter is perhaps the most appealing: classes take place 200 metres from the beach in the village of Agios Nikitas on the west coast. A week's course includes 24 hours of lessons over six days and at least four activities. Strangely, students must be 26 or over.Japanese and pop culture, FukuokaCactus has courses in 120 destinations in Fukuoka. Lessons are from 9.30am-2.30pm, Monday to Friday, and cover movies, music, TV and books as well as the Japanese language. Optional extras include studying tea ceremonies, calligraphy, Japanese food and other customs.French and horse-riding, ProvenceCESA has great courses based at a mansion in Aix-en-Provence. Two weeks of French lessons can becombined with horse-riding (20 group lessons per week), painting, hiking, cooking or oenology. Accommodation options include staying with a host family. The school arranges activities such as town tours.6.What's special about Hutong School's Mandarin courses?A.Weekday trips.B.Hot destinations.C.Science exploration.D.Personalized teaching.7.What activity do Cactus and CESA share?A.Hiking.B.Painting.C.Food studies.D.Tea ceremonies.8.Which of the following has an age limit?A.Omilo.B.CESA.C.Cactus.D.Hutong School.二、任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题 2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白出的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

AInside the Rain RoomThe Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors.The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors arent getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature andtechnology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign.The exhibit ismoving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. Its time toexperience the Rain Room for yourself!Welcome to the Rain RoomThe Rain Room features falling water. Please be aware you may get slightly wet. However, visitors wearing raincoats will be turned away.This exhibit features advanced technology.

Built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50 cities m the province.In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region^ governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention gunpowder and explosives. 1 Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modem dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.24. What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph?A. Reducing flooding and watering farmland.B. Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.C. Watering farmland and improving water quality.D. Drying the river and supplying cities with water.25. What was the main cause of the Minjiang Rivers flooding?A. Heavy rains.B. Melting snow.C. Low river banks.D. Steep mountains.26. How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount Yulei?A. By using gunpowder.B. By flooding the rocks with water.C. By applying a heating and cooling technique.D. By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades.27.Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today?A.It preserves much of the natural river life.B. It took very little time to complete the project.C. The building techniques used were very modem.D. It has raised the living standards of the local people.CBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But whats taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT (麻省理工)decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we arent spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD. Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.Bill Gatesprediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28.What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?A. It will concentrate on physics lectures.B. It will completely replace real universities.C. It will help to make universities more successful.D. It will play an increasingly important role in education.29.What does the underlined word “ardent”in Paragraph 3 mean?.A. Creative.B. Enthusiastic.C. Well-behaved.D. Experienced.30.According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning?A. The lack of lectures available online.B. The high cost of access to the websites.C. The low standard of educational websites.D. The competition with online computer games.31.Why does the author mention Hollywood?A. To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.B. To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.C. To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.D. To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion : ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field.
