2020年高考英语单项选择题模拟试题(3)

（3）阅读理解-历史文化类——2023年高考英语真题模拟试题专项汇编一、【2023年新高考全国II卷】If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity's later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can't. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook's voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain's record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. How past events should be presented.B. What humanity is concerned about.C. Whether facts speak louder than words.D. Why written language is reliable.2.What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2?A. His report was scientific.B. He represented the local people.C. He ruled over Botany Bay.D. His record was one-sided.3.What does the underlined word "conversation" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Problem.B. History.C. V oice.D. Society.4.Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?A. How Maps Tell Stories of the WorldB. A Short History of AustraliaC. A History of the World in 100 ObjectsD. How Art Works Tell Stories二、【2023年全国甲卷】I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy（哲学）.That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you—and then try to explain them.Eric Weiner's The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to t think and experience philosophy.Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher's work in the context（背景）of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder I like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding（解读）their messages and adding his own interpretation.The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It's worth your time, even if time is something we don't have a lot of.5.Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?A. Foucault.B. Eric Weiner.C. Jostein GaarderD. A college teacher.6.Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4?A. To compare Weiner with them.B. To give examples of great works.C. To praise their writing skills.D. To help readers understand Weiner's book.7.What does the author like about The Socrates Express?A. Its views on history are well-presented.B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life.C. It includes comments from readers.D. It leaves an open ending.8.What does the author think of Weiner's book?A. Objective and plain.B. Daring and ambitious.C. Serious and hard to follow.D. Humorous and straightforward三、【2023年新高考全国II卷】Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object-the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.In this "book of books," artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed(描绘)alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, butBooks themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect(才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks-transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, "off-line" activity.9.Where is the text most probably taken from?A. An introduction to a book.B. An essay on the art of writing.C. A guidebook to a museum.D. A review of modern paintings.10.What are the selected artworks about?A. Wealth and intellect.B. Home and school.C. Books and reading.D. Work and leisure.11.What do the underlined words "relate to" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Understand.B. Paint.C. Seize.D. Transform.12.What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader?A. The printed book is not totally out of date.B. Technology has changed the way we read.C. Our lives in the 21st century are networked.D. People now rarely have the patience to read.四、【2023年四川高三模拟】Architects have long turned to the past for inspiration. In this age of concrete and steel, however, they're more likely to look for aesthetic(美学的) influence than technical know-how.But an ancient Chinese construction technique called dougong is a remarkable exception.Consisting of a series of wooden brackets（支架）with no nails or fasteners,it500 years old and commonly found in Chinese architecture, such as the Forbidden City in Beijing. Many structures built during the Tang and Song dynasties featured "curtain walls" which were non-load- bearing. As a result, the unsupported wood shouldering the weight might break. Designers needed a technique which would more regularly spread the burden across their structures. Their solution was dougong.Engineering has come a long way since the ancient Chinese building technique was fashion .But there's a timeless quality to it. Modem designers in many areas are adopting it to produce amazing and stable work of architecture. Among them is Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, who used dougong-inspired methods for his recent buildings: Yusuhara Wooden Bridge Museum and Café Kureon, a2, 120-square-foot restaurantFor architect Terrence Curry, the attraction of using ancient methods is about finding something that can" speak to Chinese identity ".His structure Dougong Cube(立方),now part of the School of Architecture, Tsinghua University in Beijing, was constructed using classical-style brackets and over2, 000boards. "It has fundamental structure of dougong, but we just aren't using it in the way it was intended to be used. We're really pulling it out-emphasizing its beauty and complexity, and the way it works, "said Curry, "The shape and function of dougong is directly related to properties of wood, and the ability of people who make these buildings.In this way, there's little need for decoration because the structure and design give it its distinctive look." the School of Architecture, Tsinghua University in Beijing, was constructed using classical-style brackets and over2, 000boards.

From the poetic language, to the realization of what the tile actually means: that underneath the surface of history, there is light that has not been seen, and stories that have gone untold.I'm going to be honest-love for this book didn't hit me straight away. In fact, my first attempt to read it last month ended with me putting it aside and going to find something easier, lighter and less descriptive to read. But this book is built on beautiful imagery. Both in the literal sense—the physical world of 1940s Paris and Germany, and the metaphorical(隐喻性的) sense—scientific and philosophical references to light, to seeing and not seeing, and thedifferences between the two. It's a beautiful work of genius, but it does get a little complicated at times.However, when we get into the meat of this World War II novel, it's also an upsetting story of a childhood torn apart by war. It's about Parisian Marie Laure who has been blind since she was six, and a German orphan called Werner who finds himself at the center of the Hitler Youth. Both of their stories are told with sensitivity and sympathy, each one forced down a path by their personal circumstances and by that destructive monster-war.I think this is the kind of book you will never appreciate if you stop too soon-I learned that lesson. From the first to last page, there is a theme of invisible lines running parallel (平行的) to one another and sometimes, just sometimes, crossing in the strangest way. These two lives we are introduced to seem to be worlds apart, and yet they come together and influence one another. It was this, more than the predictably awful tale of war, that made me feel quite emotional.17.What does the writer think of the book?A. Light and easy to read.B. Rich in philosophical ideas.C. Fascinating but too descriptive.D. Too complicated for its theme.18.What can we learn about Marie Laure and Werner?A. The war leads to their sensitivity.B. They know each other at an early age.C. The Hitler Youth pushes them to grow.D. They both have a miserable childhood.19.What particularly stirred the writer's emotions?A. The book's dramatic ending.B. The book's beautiful imagery.C. The characters' interconnected destiny.D. The suffering brought by World War II.20.What is the purpose of this text?A. To share the writer's feelings of a book.B. To recommend a delightful bestseller.C. To tell readers a heartbreaking story.D. To analyze the structure of a book.六、【2023年江西高三模拟】What's the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw? Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer's field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into eye-catchingfunctional artworks.Straw weaving if a method of making daily items or artworks by braiding straw. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. The earliest straw-woven products were unearthed at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic(新石器的) cultural site located in Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were mats made of cattail grass(香蒲) during the Zhou Dynasty.Wu explains the process of straw weaving: you need to select the materials first, and then sketch the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes the weaving, shaping and finally the preserving of the work. Even by sticking to that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike and solid.Wu-recalls that, when she was a child, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. "Due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which provide low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in-the work across the country," she notes.From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people's needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. "For straw weaving to blossom, craftspeople should make joint efforts to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products," she says.When asked about her plans, Wu says she longs to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by making full use of the straw weaving technique.21.What do we know about straw weaving according to the text?A. Straw weaving is a way to make priceless items or artworks.B. One of Mencius' works documents the history of straw weaving.C. It has been a Chinese intangible cultural heritage for over ten years.D. The earliest straw weaving products were found at Banpo Cultural Ruins.22.Which of the following is part of the process of straw weaving?A. Shaping the straw before weaving it.B. Drawing the work on paperC. Using a special machine to process the material.D. Drying the fresh wheat.23.What can be inferred from Wu's words?A.Chasing profits is the main purpose for craftsmen.B.Straw weaving artworks can neglect people's demands.C. Straw weaving skills should keep pace with the times.D. Straw weaving has gained in popularity over recent years.24.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Health.B. Culture.cation.D.Business.七、【2023年安徽高三模拟】The UNESCO World Heritage List is a prestigious honour awarded to sites of outstanding universal value around the world.

On the walls of Altamira cave in northern Spain, she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows, painted in vivid red and black. More striking even than the images was their age: they were made thousands of years ago by modern humans 'supposedly primitive ancestors. Today, nearly 400 caves across Europe have been found decorated with hand stencils(模板),strange symbols and beautiful images of animals created by these skillful artists.The discoveries led to the view that artistic talent arose after modem humans arrived in the region some 40,000 years ago, as part of a "cultural explosion" reflecting a flowering of the human mind. But more recent evidence has blown this idea out of the water. For a start, modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe. What's more, a collection of cave paintings emerging in Indonesia has dismissed the idea that Europe was the centre of creativity.Local people have long known that the caves of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, contain many painted images. Modern humans are thought to have reached the region some 65,000years ago, but nobody imagined the art could be very old because ancient paintings seem unlikely to survive in the environment of high temperatures. A team of researchers led bythat is shifting our understanding of cave art. Using this technique in seven caves, they found a hand stencil was at least 39,900 years old, making it the oldest known hand stencil at that time.This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia. These included a hunting scene created at least 43,900 years ago, and by far the oldest descriptive artwork. "When we found that image, we were absolutely delighted, but when it turned out to be that old, we were almost jumping with joy," says Adam Brumm, also at Griffith University.32.What did the girl find in the cave?A. Wild animals.B. Ancient images.C. Painting techniques.D. Recording artists.33.What was a misunderstanding removed by recent evidence about the cave art?A. It can be traced back to Europe.B. It reflected the flowering of human minds.C. Modern humans led to its rise in Indonesia.D. Modern humana might not have been real artists.34.What does the underlined word" upended" mean in paragraph 3?A. Proved.B. Strengthened.C. Overtumed.D. Overemphasized.35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The amazing discoveries.B. The researchers' expectations.C. The benefits of the technique.D. The description of the cave art.十、【2023年广西南宁高三模拟】Unique Chinese Cultural HeritagesThe Old Grand CanalThe 2,500-year-old Grand Canal-the world's longest man-made waterway, half of which is used even today-made it to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014. It links several major rivers across the country, including the Yangtze, Huaihe and Yellow, and runs through the cities of Beijing and Tianjin, besides the provinces of Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.The Forbidden CityThe birth of the Forbidden City, China's imperial palace of the Ming (1368—1644) and Qing(1644—1911) dynasties in Beijing, is closely linked to the Grand Canal. The waterway promoted transport of materials for construction of the palace complex and helped transport workers.Peking OperaPeking Opera is a great form of the Chinese art of entertainment.

It gathers singing, acting, gymnastics and wushu arts, and was listed as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2010.New Year PaintingLunar(阴历的) New Year woodblock painting was a popular folk(民间的)art in areasalong the grand waterway.

FIRE plays an important role in maintaining woodland ecosystems but fire introduced to undergrowth too often destroys too much; as humans remain the leading cause of wildfire, the responsibility to minimize the damage done falls on our shoulders． Here are four man﹣made fires that highlight the mission to fight fire and help to replant the world's forests to counter the effects of deforestation．Heilongjiang Fire﹣China, 1987One of the largest fires ever to occur in history, the Heilongiiang Fire ________ three million acres of forest in the Greater Khingan Range． Reports attributed the fire's easy spread to dry conditions in the area﹣but it was excessive logging activity without any effort to let the forest regrow that really let it rage unhindered． 34, 000 soldiers were deployed to put the fire out, and 33, 000 people were left homeless．Wallow Fire﹣USA, 2011Still the largest wildfire in Arizona's history, Wallow got its name when two men accidentally started it while camping in the Bear Wallow Wilderness． Their campfire blew out of control and burned through over half a million acres of land, costing ＄72 million to extinguish, and a further ＄37 million to clean up and rebuild after the damage． More than 6, 000 people had to be evacuated．Uttarakhand fires﹣India, 2016Throughout the year, man﹣made fires plagued the pine forests of the Uttarakhand Region． Widespread media coverage eventually spurred the government on to intervene, sending Indian Air Force helicopters to put them out． It's suspected that these increased numbers could be the result of honey or seed collectors trying to frighten off animals．Brandenburg Fire﹣Germany, 2018Largely thanks to longer, dryer summers than usual﹣the forested area of Brandenburg, Germany, caught alight． Results of investigation suggested that evidence pointed to arson （纵火）． Brandenburg lost nearly 1, 000 acres of its forested land and three nearby villages had to be evacuated． A choking, smoky haze drifted twelve miles to Berlin, causing residents to have to shut themselves in their home．（1）The underlined word "devoured" in the second paragraph has the closest meaningto________．A detestedB destroyedC detachedD detained．（2）Which of the following is true about the four fires？________A The dry condition of the Greater Khingan Range was mainly responsible for the rage of Heilongjiang Fire．B A total of ＄109 million was poured in putting out the Wallow Firealone． C Uttarakhand fires claimed so many lives that Air Force helicopters came to the rescue． D The evidence suggested that the Brandenburg Fire might be caused by someone deliberately．．（3）The most suitable title for this passage might be________．A hot weather setting the globe on fireB forest blazes caused by humanhands C forest fires consuming people and money D uncontained forest fires raging worldwide．18. "You can use me as a last resort（选择）, and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it．" This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse（长曲棍球） club．I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport． She may just need a little persuading． So I try again and ________． I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on …At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, "Alright． Yes, I'll do it．"I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many． The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end﹣of﹣season gifts． Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team． The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season． Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal．Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close． That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community（社区） as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy． Volunteering just feels so good．In that sense, I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit．However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?（1）What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l？________A She is stressed as a single mother．B She doesn't like playing thelacrosse． C Volunteering is not in her list． D Her schedule is too demanding．．（2）What is the aim when the author mentions some examples in the second paragraph ？________A The author wants to praise the volunteers．B The author wants to persuade the parent．C The author wants to promote good deeds．D The author wants to offer some advice．．（3）Why do so many people keep doing the volunteer work？________A It gives then a sense of joy．B It brings them financial benefits．C It enablesthem to work hard． D It helps them keep energetic．19. In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals． This sometimes happens with humans also． But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people． I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or helpme to put on my coat． And I have discovered that it makes them happy．From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily． They don't get to see this soft side of others． Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending． But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them．Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual． People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning （按喇叭）or even shouting at me． At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty﹣four years of driving． I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, "I have a problem here． I am weak and doing the best I can． And everyone understood． Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass． They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic． But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak．Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way． But those are few and far between． More often, it would be better if wedon't, pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared．（1）Why did the author put on the car flashlights？________A He signaled to other drivers for help．B He wanted to challenge otherdrivers． C He wanted to have a better view of the road． D He was suggesting that he had a problem．．（2）What is the best title of the passage？________A Weakness sometimes brings out kindness．B Always be ready to helpothers． C We kness reduces our bravery． D Never show your weakness．20. There's more fresh water hidden below Earth's surface in underground aquifers （含水层） than any other source besides the ice sheets． That groundwater earns an unshakably important place for rivers worldwide, keeping them running even when droughts bring their waters low．But in recent decades humans have pumped trillions of gallons out of those underground reservoirs． In a new research, water experts and scientists are taking a global look at where groundwater is already being ________ at such a rate that it has caused water levels to drop so much in rivers and streams that they will slip into the ecological danger zone．Much of that water is being removed much faster than it can be refilled． That has enormous potential consequences for people and crops in areas that don't get enoughrain． But far before those impacts emerge, the effects will fiercely hit rivers, streams, and the habitats around them． Hundreds of rivers and streams around the world would become so water﹣stressed that the entire ecological system would hit a danger point, says Inge de Graaf, the lead author of the research． "We can really consider this ecological effect like a ticking time bomb, " she says． "If we pump the groundwater now, we don't see the impacts until like 10 years further or even longer．"But the severity of the impacts might still be underestimated． As a baseline, they used the global water demand in 2010 and spun their climate model forward to predict how stresses on groundwater systems might develop． But as populations swell and the demand for food rises, those stresses could skyrocket for reasons other than climatechange, speeding along the extraction from underground water sources．The effects of over﹣pumping groundwater take years, if not decades, to become visible． Changes in rain have immediate, obvious effects on river flow． When it pours, rivers often rage． But groundwater is hidden and changes don't always manifest in the place where the pumping occurs and are programmed to "wait for the perfect moment"． That makes aquifer management issues extra challenging． In the meantime, rivers and streams are the signal that says we're using water in an unsustainable fashion, we need to take a hard look at what we're doing．"．（1）The underlined word "extracted" in the second paragraph can be replaced by________．A pumped B distracted C contracted D filled．（2）Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？________A The water removed from the ground can be fully refilled．B The effects of over﹣pumping groundwater are not immediate．C The groundwater only takes effects during droughts．D Fresh water hidden below Earth's surface is more than any other source．第四部分书面表达（满分 25 分）21. Passage 1Nature is shrinking by the day in the name of progress． The loss of biodiversity could be a disaster． Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants， animals and other living things which are all inter﹣connected． The problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague． People might care about brown bears， but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of microscopic sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines．Passage 2The Guardian newspaper has launched the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action． This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to reverse the decline in sea﹣life caused by industrial fishing， banning the fishing of live sharks at sea by some Asian countries， and stopping the slaughter of dingoes in Australia， among many other things．写作内容：1、用 30 单词左右写出上文概要；2、用约 120 单词阐述你对这个话题的看法，内容包括：（1）你如何看待保护动物多样性的意义？（2）作为中学生，你如何为保护动物多样性做出贡献？写作要求：1、写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2、作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3、不必写标题．2020年江苏省徐州市睢宁县高考英语模拟试卷（3月份）答案1.

Biodiversity is suffering devastating damage nowadays， and not every species gets due public awareness． Luckily， campaigns like the Biodiversity 100 are appealing to governments to advocate better living conditions for endangered species．（生物的多样性遭到重大破坏，现在有人们在积极行动改善濒危物种的生存条件）Since the organisms of the ecosystems are inter﹣connected， if species or populations of a species disappear， it can have harmful effects on the rest of the ecosystem．（高分句型一）Declining biodiversity is therefore a concern for many reasons． For example， greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability for all life forms and provides a number of natural services for everyone； healthy ecosystems can better withstand and recover from a variety of disasters．（对保护动物多样性的意义的看法）So it makes sense for everyone to make efforts to maintain biodiversity． As for students，we can help by learning more about the significance of preserving biodiversity and promoting the ideas of sustainable developments and consumption． If everyone can startby not buying or using products that harm biodiversity， we can surely make a difference．（高分句型二）（作为中学生，应该为保护动物多样性做出贡献）。

2024届山西省高考英语普通高等学招生全国统一考试模拟试题（三模）一、新添加的题型1、 New York City has many remarkable parks and open ces that are perfect for hanging out in warm weather. Here are four of our favorite places to take a scenic walk, plus where to eat nearby. Louis Valentino, Jr. Park Don’t let all of the factories fool you — Louis Valentino, Jr. Park has the best view of the Statue of Liberty. When you get hungry, stop by Red Hook Lobster Pound for mayo-coated lobster (龙虾). Sit at one of the cafe’s first come, first served outdoor tables, or eat on the waterfront. Riverside Park Stretching 4 miles from 72nd to 158th St, Riverside Park is perfect for hanging out along the Hudson River, enjoying beautiful views of New Jersey. If walking the whole way isn’t your thing, there’s a bike path too. Daily Provisions offers fantastic sandwich choices, like juicy chicken and smoked bacon. Central Park There are many reasons to walk through Central Park this spring: historic landmarks, great bird watching spots, and hanging out with friends. And while these are enjoyable activities, they’re even better with a pastrami sandwich from Pastrami Queen. Ridgewood Reservoir At Ridgewood Reservoir, you’ll find an easy hiking spot with a peaceful nature preserve and skyline views of Manhattan. After hiking, head to Rolo’s for various sandwich options. It has outdoor tables but no heaters, so you can take everything to go if it’s too cold out.【小题1】What is the best spot for enjoying views of the Statue of Liberty?【小题2】What makes Riverside Park an attractive destination?【小题3】Where is this article most likely sourced from?2、 Charlie Jeffers, 17, a senior at Redwood High School in Marin County, Calif., has loved Lego since age 4. His room is full of Lego bricks. Noticing his friends start throwing away their old Lego collections, he hatched a plan. “Legos are pricey,” he noted. “Many can’t afford them.”He started collecting unwanted Lego parts from friends and neighbors, spreading the word through community notices and door-to-door visits. The response was surprising. Donations of old Lego sets poured in, propelling Jeffers to formalize his efforts under the banner of Pass the Bricks. Together with a dedicated team of volunteers, Jeffers and his teammates carefully clean, sort, and repurpose collected Lego pieces into imaginative sets. These sets, each with roughly 20 to 60 pieces, are carefully made to create scenes such as blind dates or family photoshoots. Since its start in 2020, Pass the Bricks has made a significant success. With over 3,000 sets donated to date, Jeffers and his team are driven by two purposes: to reduce landfill waste and to provide Legos to children who might otherwise go without. Jeffers stresses the educational value of Lego, emphasizing its capacity to inspire creativity and learning. Pass the Bricks has since expanded its reach nationwide, with volunteers in several states distributing sets to local charities. To ensure each set is presented with care, Jeffers uses donations and personal funds from his job at a gym to purchase affordable cardboard gift boxes online. These sets, accompanied by instructions and a photo of the finished product, are distributed to various organizations and directly to children at local schools. Despite his approaching to college, Jeffers remains devoted to his commitment to Pass the Bricks. He plans to continue and expand the initiative, driven by a desire to share the joy and educational benefits of Lego with as many children as possible. “We’re grateful to share them with the kids and families we serve,” Jeffers expresses. Reflecting on his own Lego-filledchildhood, he acknowledges its profound influence. “I aim to provide others with the same chance,” he emphasizes, echoing his ongoing commitment to sharing the joy of Lego with all.【小题1】What is the primary purpose of Pass the Bricks?【小题2】Which best replaces the word “propelling” in paragraph 2?【小题3】How does Jeffers ensure that each set is presented with care?【小题4】What does Jeffers hope to achieve by continuing Pass the Bricks?3、 If you’re lucky enough to live near forests, you’ll know that it’s cooler under the trees during hot mid-days. Even if you live in a city with more buildings than trees, visiting a local park or garden can help you stay cool. A study from the University of Surrey in the UK found that botanical gardens can make city air cooler by up to 5 degrees Celsius. Wetlands and rain gardens aren’t far behind, cooling the air by about 4.7 and 4.5 degrees Celsius. Trees along streets also help, lowering air temperatures by 3.8 degrees Celsius, while city parks can make it 3.2 degrees Celsius cooler. The paper notes that an air temperature of 40.3℃ (104.5℉) broke records in the UK on July 19, 2022. Some 62, 862 deaths were linked to summer heat across Europe in the same year, while the2003 heatwave in Europe led to an economic loss of €16 billion due to drought and crop failures. According to the IPCC, “green and blue urban infrastructure (基础设施) elements, including parks, engineered greening projects, wetlands, green walls, and botanical gardens, are particularly effective in reducing air temperatures in cities”. We’ve already seen a number of architecture projects around the world employ large amounts of greenery to promote local cooling, along with beneficial landscaping. However, it’s important to recognize that there isn’t one simple solution to suit every site, and much will depend on effective planning. “Our paper confirms just how many ways there are to keep cool,” added Professor Maria de Fatima Andrade at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. "But it also reveals how much work is left to do. Institutions around the world need to invest in the right research-because what’s very clear from our study is that there is no universal solution. It depends on what works for your community.”【小题1】What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs?【小题2】Why does the author mention “Europe” in paragraph 3?【小题3】What does Professor Andrade emphasize about cooling solutions?【小题4】What might be a suitable title for the passage?4、 A team of scientists from the Center for Cognition and Sociality and the Data Science Group at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) made an exciting discovery about how computers and human brains work similarly when remembering things. They found out that the way artificial intelligence (AI) models, like those in smart robots, store memories is a lot like how our brain’s memory center, called the hippocampus (海马体), does it. This part of the brain is really important for feelings and memories. Understanding how AI learns and keeps information is key to making it smarter. The scientists looked into how our brains learn and remember by focusing on a special process involving the NMDA receptor, a critical part of the hippocampus. This receptor works like a smart door in our brain that helps with learning and remembering. It opens when certain brain chemicals are present, allowing the cell to receive signals and create memories. A specific element, magnesium, acts like a guard, only letting substances in under the right conditions. Interestingly, the team found that Transformer, a type of AI model, uses a similar “guarding”method to manage its memory. They wondered if they could make the Transformer’s memory better by copying the brain’s process. By adjusting some settings in the Transformer to mimic (模拟、模仿) the brain’s memory door, they improved its ability to remember things long-term, just like adjusting magnesium levels can affect how well we remember stuff. This discovery is a big deal because it shows we can use what we know about the brain to make AI smarter. C. Justin LEE, a neuroscience (神经学) director at the institute, mentioned that this research was a big step forward for both AI and brain science. It opens up new ways to understand how the brain works and to create more advanced AI based on these insights. So, in simple terms, scientists have figured out that computers can learn and remember in ways that are surprisingly similar to us, which could help make them even smarter in the future.【小题1】What does the term “NMDA receptor” in paragraph 2 most likely refer to?【小题2】What did the team discover about Transformer?【小题3】What is the significance of the research findings according to C. Justin LEE?【小题4】What is the main idea of the passage?5、How to Develop Critical Thinking Skills There’s no magic method to change your thinking processes. Improvement happens with small, intentional changes in your everyday habits until a more critical approach to thinking is automatic. Here are some tips for building stronger self-awareness and learning how to improve critical thinking: Be careful 【小题1】 . One of the key principles of critical thinking is asking questions and analyzing the available information. You might surprise yourself at what you find when you stop tothink before taking action. Before making a decision, use evidence, logic, and reasoning to support your own opinions or challenge ideas. 【小题2】 . Ask open-ended questions “Yes” or “no” questions invite agreement rather than reflection. 【小题3】 . Digging deeper can help you identify potential biases, uncover assumptions, and arrive at new possible solutions. Learn to be quiet Active listening is the intentional practice of concentrating on a conversation partner instead of your own thoughts. 【小题4】 . If you’re brainstorming with your team or having a 1:1 with a coworker, listen, ask clarifying questions, and work to understand other people’s viewpoints. This will help you find weaknesses in arguments for better solutions. Put it down Recording your thoughts with pen and paper can lead to stronger brain activity than typing them out on a keyboard. If you’re stuck and want to think more critically about a problem, writing your ideas can help you process information more deeply. 【小题5】 . Ideas are more likely to remain in the background of your mind, leading to deeper thinking that informs your decision-making process.6、 One sunny afternoon, Lily found a lost kitten hiding behind a bush.

An American lady, Anna Lane, believes it’s true. Her kind neighbors once helped her out when she was in a big trouble.Mrs. Lane was living alone in a city in Texas, US. The woman is 75 and still could do a lot of housework herself. However, she was too old to cut the grass in her garden. Then a big trouble found her. The grass in her garden grew more than 18 inches high and it broke the law in her city. As a result, she was in danger of paying lots of money!Luckily, her neighbors, the Adams brothers, heard the news about her on TV. They decided to do something to help her. “We haven’t met her yet, but she’s 75 years old and she needs some help,” said Sam Adams, one of the boys. “That’s the least we could do.”The Adams brothers took their machines and came to Mrs. Lane’s house to help cut thegrass without telling her. Once they got started, other neighbors saw what was going on and joined them.Together they worked hard in the sun and finished cutting all the grass in about two hours. When Mrs. Lane saw what her neighbors did for her, she was surprised and moved to tears. “I cannot believe this,” she said “They were so kind to spend two hours helping me and I didn’t even know their names.” As for the Adams brothers, they said they would always be ready to help her. 31．What can we know about Mrs. Lane?A．She was 70 years old.B．She could do little housework.C．She was living with her children.D．She could not cut her grass by herself. 32．Why was Mrs. Lane in danger of paying lots of money?A．She broke the education law in her city.B．The grass in her garden was more than 18 inches high.C．The news about her on TV was made by her.D．She didn’t pay enough money to her neighbors.33．Who cut the grass?A．The Adams brothers.B．Sam Adams and Mrs. Lane.C．The Adams brothers and Mrs. Lane.D．The Adams brothers and other neighbors. 34．How long did it take them to finish mowing the whole lawn?A．For about two hours.B．For about 18 hours.C．For about 70 hours.D．For about 75 hours.35．What do you think of Mrs. Lane’s neighbors?A．Warm-hearted.B．Cold-blooded.C．Well-educated.D．Bad-tempered.How do people find their ways? At first, people did it by looking at the sun, the moon and stars. Later, we started to use the compass. Today, there are navigation(导航) satellite systems.A navigation satellite system uses groups of satellites. They send information to a receiver, such as your smartphones. Then they can find where you are.The earliest navigation system is the Global Positioning System (GPS) of the United States. The US has put 24 satellites into space to make sure GPS can locate a person correctly and globally. Russia’s GLONASS and European Union’s Galileo can also work globally.The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) is China’s homegrown navigation system. It was set up in 2000. With it, China became the third country to build a navigation system after the US and Russia.BeiDou can find you wherever you are. It helps you go faster by finding shortcuts and using correct directions. When you are in trouble and call the police, they will know exactly where you are if you have a smartphone that uses BeiDou.Today, there are more than 20 BeiDou satellites above our heads. And the system is able to offer open services to the Asia-Pacific area.China plans to send more BeiDou-3 satellites into space. BeiDou-3’s position accuracy (精确度) is less than five metres. By 2020, BeiDou system has had 35 satellites and begun serving globally.36．How did people find their ways at first according to this passage?A．By looking at the sun, the moon, and stars.B．By using the navigation satellitesystems.C．By looking at the compass.D．By using private tools.37．What does the underlined word “receiver” in the second paragraph mean?A．评论家B．接收器C．听筒D．管理人38．How many navigation satellite systems are mentioned in the passage?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.39．What do you know about the BeiDou system?A．It was set up before GPS.B．It started serving globally in 2020.C．There are less than 20 BeiDou satellites today.D．BeiDou can’t serve the Asia-Pacific area.40．What’s the best title for this passage?A．Beidou Lights up Sky B．Better Beidou, Better BusinessC．Navigation Systems of the World D．Locating a Person Correctly五、对话填空根据情景内容，在空白处填入1个适当的单词。

2020年高考英语真题模拟试题专项汇编（3）阅读理解-健康环保类1. Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.(1)Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A.They must run long distances.B.They are qualified for the marathon.C.They have to follow special rules.D.They are good at swinging their legs.(2)What advantage does race walking have over running?A.It's more popular at the Olympics.B.It's less challenging physically.C.It's more effective in body building.D.It's less likely to cause knee injuries.(3)What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking?A.Getting experts' opinions.B.Having a medical checkup.C.Hiring an experienced coach.D.Doing regular exercises.(4)Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking?A.Skeptical.B.Objective.C.Tolerant.D.Conservative.2. When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn't cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. "It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur - unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year" says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. "The ecosystem down there can't handle this non-native species(物种).It's destroying the environment. It's them or us." says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s, the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it's not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton's job these days is trying to promote fur.Then there's Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says, "To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-I think that's going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York." Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She's trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.3. According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions (份), it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly (表面上)participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the "I'll have what she's having'' effect. However, we'll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a bit because Isee the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?(1).What is the recent study mainly about?A.Food safety.B.Movie viewership.C.Consumer demand.D.Eating behavior.(2).What does the underlined word ''beanpoles" in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Big eaters.B.Overweight persons.C.Picky eaters.D.Tall thin persons.(3).Why did the researchers hire the actor?A.To see how she would affect the participants.B.To test if the participants could recognize her.C.To find out what she would do in the two tests.D.To study why she could keep her weight down.(4).On what basis do we "adjust the influence" according to the last paragraph?A.How hungry we are.B.How slim we want to be.C.How we perceive others.D.How we feel about the food.4. Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking, planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age, a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests.Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1,000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteers' memory and thinking skills through a battery of tests. Then, for eight years, the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests.Those who had held mentally stimulating(刺激), demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests. And they tended to lose cognitive(认知) function at a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants' overall health status."This works just like physical exercise," says Francisca Then, who led the study. "After a long run, you may feel like you're in pain, you may feel tired. Butit makes you fit. After a long day at work-sure, you will feel tired, but it can help your brain stay healthy."It's not just corporate jobs, or even paid work that can help keep your brain fit, Then points out. A waiter's job, for example, that requires multitasking, teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work. And "running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating(协调)," she says. "You have to organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries."Of course, our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons-including other environmental influences or genetic factors. Still, continuing to challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help.(1).Why did the scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests?A.To assess their health status.B.To evaluate their work habits.C.To analyze their personality.D.To measure their mental ability.(2).How does Francisca Then explain her findings in paragraph 4?A.By using an expert's words.B.By making a comparison.C.By referring to another study.D.By introducing a concept.(3).Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Retired Workers Can Pick Up New SkillsB.Old People Should Take Challenging JobsC.Your Tough Job Might Help Keep You SharpD.Cognitive Function May Decline As You Age5. For those who can stomach it, working out before breakfast may be more beneficial for health than eating first, according to a study of meal timing and physical activity.Athletes and scientists have long known that meal timing affects performance. However, far less has been known about how meal timing and exercise might affect general health.To find out, British scientists conducted a study. They first found 10 overweight and inactive but otherwise healthy young men, whose lifestyles are, forbetter and worse, representative of those of most of us. They tested the men's fitness and resting metabolic (新陈代谢的)rates and took samples (样品) of their blood and fat tissue.Then, on two separate morning visits to the scientists' lab, each man walked for an hour at an average speed that, in theory, should allow his body to rely mainly on fat for fuel. Before one of these workouts, the men skipped breakfast, meaning that they exercised on a completely empty stomach after a long overnight fast (禁食). On the other occasion, they ate a rich morning meal about two hours before they started walking.Just before and an hour after each workout, the scientists took additional samples of the men's blood and fat tissue.Then they compared the samples. There were considerable differences. Most obviously, the men displayed lower blood sugar levels at the start of their workouts when they had skipped breakfast than when they had eaten. As a result, they burned more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first. On the other hand, they burned slightly more calories(卡路里), on average, during the workout after breakfast than after fasting.But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the most significant, the researchers found. Multiple genes behaved differently, depending on whether someone had eaten or not before walking. Many of these genes produce proteins (蛋白质) that can improve blood sugar regulation and insulin(胰岛素) levels throughout the body and so arc associated with improved metabolic health. These genes were much more active when the men had fasted before exercise than when they had breakfasted.The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits from exercise, it may be wise to skip eating first.(1).The underlined expression "stomach it" in Paragraph 1 most probably means "_________".A.digest the meal easilyB.manage without breakfastC.decide wisely what to eatD.eat whatever is offered(2).Why were the 10 people chosen for the experiment?A.Their lifestyles were typical of ordinary people.B.Their lack of exercise led to overweight.C.They could walk at an average speed.D.They had slow metabolic rates.(3).What happened to those who ate breakfast before exercise?A.They successfully lost weight.B.They consumed a bit more calories.C.They burned more fat on average.D.They displayed higher insulin levels.(4).What could be learned from the research?A.A workout after breakfast improves gene performances.B.Too much workout often slows metabolic rates.C.Lifestyle is not as important as morning exercise.D.Physical exercise before breakfast is better for health.te blight (晚疫病) is a common disease of plants such as tomatoes and potatoes, capable of wiping out entire crops on commercial-sized fields. If conditions are favorable, it can quickly spread to other plants through wet soil and wind.In history, late blight caused over 1 million deaths in Ireland. Today it still causes more than 6.7 billion dollars in annual losses worldwide. Small farms and growers are often the hardest hit, many stating losing almost two-thirds of their yearly production, because usually they don’t have money to identify and treat the disease.But farmers may have a new weapon now. The technology, designed by researchers at North Carolina State University can recognize sick plants early by employing a piece of test paper that plugs into (接入) a reader on a smartphone.Plants produce signaling chemicals from their leaves. “If a plant is diseased, the type and concentration of these chemicals changes,” said Wei Qingshan, an engineer at North Carolina State University. If the farmer suspects a late blight infection is underway, he can remove a leaf from a living plant and place it in a small, covered glass jar. After the leaf’s volatile (挥发性的) chemicals haveaccumulated for 15 minutes or so, the cap is removed and the air is pumped from the jar into a reader attached to the back of a smartphone. Inside the smartphone reader is a piece of paper specially treated with dyes (染料) by the researchers. Upon interacting (相互作用) with the plant’s volatile chemicals, the paper changes color to indicate the presence or absence of the late blight.The researchers hope to tailor the technology for other crop diseases, which continue to appear as climate change and global trade increase the stress on agricultural systems. “This is an important step in the improvement of global food security,” Wei Qingshan said.1.What are the statistics in Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The damage caused by late blight.B.The money put into late blight treatment.C.The number of crops in a commercial-sized field.D.The yearly production of small farms and growers.2.According to Wei Qingshan, how would a farmer find out if a plant was infected?A.By treating the plant with special dyes.B.By putting volatile chemicals on the plant.C.By testing the air in the jar with a leaf inside.D.By examining the land with a smartphone reader.3.What do the researchers expect of their new technology?A.It’ll reach farmers soon.B.It’ll get rid of late blight.C.It’ll be beneficial to the climate.D.It’ll be able to detect more crop diseases.4.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To introduce a test method of late blight.B.To explain the causes of late blight.C.To discuss the effects of late blight.D.To tell the history of late blight.7.The study, published today in the journal PLOS Biology shows that the average body size and number of sharks and other marine predators—vital to maintaininghealthy ocean ecosystems—fell significantly near cities with more than 10,000 people and associated fishing boats.The minimum distance from people and fishing which had no measurable effect was 1,250 kilometers. This is far further than previous studies have suggested and probably reflects the increased distances fishing boats can now travel. As a result, sharks were only observed at 12% of sites monitored.Lead author Dr. Tom Letessier said, “Human activity is now the biggest influence on shar ks’ distribution. Just 13% of the world’s oceans can be considered‘wilderness’ but sharks and other predators are much more common and significantly larger at distances greater than 1,250 kilometers from people. This suggests that large marine predators are generally unable to thrive near to people and is another clear example of the impact of human overuse on our seas.”To collect their data, the team analyzed videos taken at 1,041 sites across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, selected to test the biggest possible range of conditions and habitats. Sharks and other free-swimming predators were studied using cameras attached cannisters(炮筒)filled with bait. In total, the team recorded 23,200 animals representing 109 species. These included 841 individual sharks from 19 different species.Dr. Letessier added, “Our study also found that shallower water environment, of depths less than 500 meters, were vital for marine predator diversity. We therefore need to identify sites that are both shallow and remote and protect them. However, there are still numerous shallow hot spots near human markets that are not appropriately protected, and this must change.”1.According to the study, what happened to sharks and other marine predators?A.They became less important for keeping healthy ocean ecosystems.B.They only lived near cities with 10,000 people.C.They loved swimming after fishing boats.D.Their average body size and number decreased sharply.2.Which of the following statements may Dr. Tom Letessier agree with?rge marine predators can grow well near people.B.People shouldn’t disturb the sea and sea animals.C.Sharks’ distribution was mainly affected by human activity.D.Other ecological factors have no impact on sharks’ distribution.3.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4?A.Introduce a new topic for readers.B.Introduce the study means used by the team.C.Summarize the previous paragraphs.D.Collect data about sharks and other predators.4.What can we infer about the perfect environment for marine predator diversity?A.It should be deeper than 500 meters.B.It should be spots that are hot enough.C.It should be shallower and away from humans.D.It should be spots changed from human markets.答案以及解析1.答案：(1)-(4)CDAB解析：(1).考查细节理解。

AWhen it comes to historical Italian coffee, you cannot help but talk of Venice. It is in this city that the tradition of coffee was bom, and then spread to the rest of Italy.Caffe FlorianCaffe Florian was founded in 1720. From then on, this ele­gant building has been characterized by its high-quality products and well-known guests: here, noblemen, politicians and intellec­tuals (知识分子）would meet. Today, the caf6 is an important cultural center where exhibitions are organized. But it remains an ideal place for tourists who simply want to enjoy an espresso sit­ting at a little table in the heart of Venice, a few steps from the Grand Canal.Gran Caffe QuadriAlso in St. Mark’s Square, there is another historic cafe thatsince 1775 has earned an important place among the many. Gran Caffe Quadri represents the memory of centuries in the late period of the Republic of Venice, and the birth of the modem age, and the secrets of the famous people who sat in its halls. Even to­day, Gran Caffe Quadri is a favorite of actors and directors attend­ing the Venice Film Festival.H arry's BarMore recent, but equally absorbing, is the story of Harry's Bar, opened in 1931 and declared a national monument in 2001. Built from an old warehouse (仓库)close to Piazza San Marco, Harry’s Bar owes its name and existence to the American student Harry Pickering. This is not strictly a coffee bar, but inside intel­lectuals, artists, writers such as Arturo Toscanini, Guglielmo Mar­coni, Charlie Chaplin, all spent time.Caffe La CalcinaMoving to the southern limit of the city, in the ancient neigh­borhood called Le Zattere, we will find Caff6 La Calcina, another important spot that was a meeting place for artists and writers in the early 1900s. The place is now a bar and restaurant called La Piscina, in memory of the bathhouse with a pool that used to be there.1. Where would you go if you are interested in cultural events?A. Caffe Florian.B. Gran Caffe Quadri.C. Harry’s Bar.D. Caffe La Calcina.2. Harry * s Bar was named after_____.A. an old warehouseB. a famous movie starC. an artist in VeniceD. an American student3. What do the four caf6s have in common?A. They were built from old houses.B. They are on the decline nowadays.C. They were popular among celebrities.D. They are located in St. Mark’s Square.BEarthworms (虫丘虫引）were the beginning of a childhood dream for Jane Goodall. Her mother told a story of going to Goodall’s room when she was one and a half years old.‘‘ She ’ d found I ’ d taken a whole handful of earthworms to •bed with me，，’Goodall said, u and instead of getting mad, she said very quietly, ‘ They ’11die if you leave them here, they need dirt. “So together we took them back into the garden.”“I never went to university after school because we couldn’t afford it，” she said. Since college was impossible, she got a secre­tarial job with Louis Leakey, the famous biologist.It was in the Serengeti plains that Leakey realized Goodall was capable of much more than a secretary. “He just saw that I was very passionate about being out in the wilderness and animals and that I was a good observer,” Goodall said.Leakey sent Goodall to Tanzania to observe chimpanzees (黑60广东教育•高中2021年第6期GUANG DONG JIAO YU GAO ZHONG獲獲）in the wild in hopes that their behavior could help explain his research on early humans.Goodall was surprised by the chimps’love for one another and the bonds between families.She also was surprised when she witnessed one chimpanzee removing the leaves from a small branch and using it as a tool to catch ants.4<At that time,we were defined as the only tool-mak­ing creature on the planet/*Goodall said.Goodall sent a telegram to Leakey,who replied,“Scientists are faced with tw o alterna­tives:Either accept chimpanzees as man,by definition,or else re-define man.”There is no sharp line dividing us from the rest of the animal kingdom，”Goodall said.“It’s a very indistinct line，and it teaches us so clearly that we are not separate from the rest of the animal kingdom,but part of it.”At 86 years old,Goodall still is educating,discovering and working to bridge the gap between man and chimpanzee.4.What do we know about Goodall’s mother?A.She was strict.B.She was bad-temperedC.She was wise.D.She was well-educated.5.What did Louis Leakey find in Goodall?A.Her interest in living in the wilderness.B.Her patience to look after animals.C.Her ability to do secretarial work.D.Her talent for observing animals.6.Why does Goodall suggest either accepting chimpanzees as man or redefine man?A.She witnessed chimpanzees can catch ants.B.She found chimpanzees can make tools.C.She watched the chimps*love for man.D.She accepted chimpanzees as man.7.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Goodall found interest in observing chimps.B.Goodall devoted her life to studying chimps.C.Goodall was inspired by her mother to study chimps.D.Goodall gave up college to observe animals in the wild.cWhen you go to a grocery store(食品杂货店），you expect to pay for your goods with money.But students at a high school in Texas,US,opened a store that runs on good deeds.In November,students from Linda Tutt High School in the city of Sanger opened a grocery store that enables students to buy necessities using a point system.The store aims to support fami­lies in need.M In our school district,a good many students are considered economically disadvantaged,”explained Anthony Love,principal of Linda Tutt.M About 3.6 percent of our students are considered homeless.We thought it important to support them and their fami­lies and make sure they had food on the table/*Students earn points by contributing positively to the school. For those students from poor families,the point system has pro­vided a way for them to shop for their families.44They can earn points for doing chores (杂活）around the building or helping to clean，”Love said.The number of points for each item was actually decided by the students.M So we walked through here and decided that a can of green beans was one point，”said Paul Juarez,the director of First Refuge Ministries.Juarez said that he hopes the idea gets implemented (实施）in other areas.“It gives us a picture of what can be.So if we can do this inside other schools,it will do a whole lot to help other small towns.”In addition to the financial benefits,students also learn about supply management and customer service,and such lessons could prepare them for future jobs.The grocery store1s student manager, Hunter Weertman,said he has already learned important life skills from his experience at the store.The store practice was also welcomed by Thomas Muir, Sanger’s mayor.“We all had our first jobs and it taught us how to work，and what you got for your work，”he said.“I think this will do that for them too,and also meet an immediate need/*8.Why did the students open the grocery store?A.To support poor families.B.To learn to manage money.C.To finish their research project.D.To provide students with necessities.9.How could the students earn points?A.By doing chores at home.B.By shopping for their families.C.By doing good deeds at school.D.By volunteering in the community.10. What is Juarez's opinion on the grocery store?A.It still has some room for improvement.B.It has set a good example to other schools.C.It needs financial support from other schools.D.It has helped poor families in other small towns.11. What does the author intend to tell us in the last two paragraphs?A.The benefits from the store practice.B.The future jobs the students can get.C.The methods of doing a job well.D.The measures to meet an immediate need.DThere’s loads of research that shows that spending time in广东教育•高中2021年第6期 61n傲考场娜操练nature is good for your health and well-being.But not everyone lives near a park.And not everyone can easily get outdoors.So, what happens when you bring nature into your home via TV?A new study finds that a virtual nature experience can have some of the same effects.For the study,researchers from the University of Exeter in the U.K.brought 96 adults into a lab and created boredom by having them watch a four-minute video of a man discussing his work at an office supply company.Then,the study participants experienced scenes of an under-water coral reef (珊湖瞧）scene from the BBC’s“Blue nanet II，’series.They watched it on TV,with a virtual reality headset using 360-degree video,or with a virtual reality headset using computer-generated interactive graphics (交互式图形)•Researchers found that all three methods greatly reduced negative feelings like sadness and significantly lowered boredom. The interactive virtual reality experience actually increased posi­tive feelings,such as happiness,and strengthened the connections people said they had to nature.4<I think we were m ost surprised that just watching nature on TV led to positive changes across each of our measures,suggest­ing that even short,five-minute bursts of watching natural history programming can have an effect on well-being，”study co-author Alex Smalley says.Originally,the motivation behind the study was to research benefits for people who were stuck indoors,such as those in nurs­ing homes or people recovering from illness.But there are entirely new positive results in today*s world due to COVID-19.“We never imagined a pandemic (流行病）would mean the results might apply to such a big part of the global population，’’Smalley says. “We’d always recommend trying to get out into nature wherever possible but for those who can’t,our findings suggest that digital experiences of nature could provide a short-term fix/*12.What’s the new study about?A.The significance of living a green life.B.The effects of watching nature on TV.C.The necessity of going out into nature.D.The methods of increasing positive feelings.13. Why did researchers ask the participants to watch a four- minute video?A.To observe their different reactions.B.To let them know more about life.C.To attract their attention.D.To make them feel bored.14. What can we learn about the researchers from Alex Smalley’s words?A.They will carry out the study across the world.B.They found m ost people surprised at their study.C.They had some unexpected findings in the study.D.They suggested people watch TV for a short while.15.Who would probably be m ost interested in the study?A.People who are kept indoors.B.People who work in hospitals.C.People who enjoy watching TV.D.People who travel on business.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分115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。
