2020届合肥市第八中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ADuring ancient times, children didn’t have smartphones, iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet. In 1999, the sport was included in the 6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite , Weifang kite and Nantong kite, of which each has distinctive features. The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him or, more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center. By juggling(边抛边接) the diabolo on the rope, the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle. Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game, especially popular in North China. Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产).1.Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A.To practice their feet.B.To warm themselves.C.To train their skills.D.To relax themselves.2.Which kites are swallow-shaped?A.Weifang kites.B.Tianjin kites.C.Beijing kites.D.Nantong kites.3.Why does playing diabolos make a sound?A.Because the diabolo’s center is empty.B.Because the high-speed spinning diabolo is light.C.Because the diabolo is equipped with a whistle.D.Because ropes’ surface moves against the diabolo’s.BA team of researchersfrom theUniversityofColorado Boulderhave created a revolutionary type of robotic muscles. They are strong and flexible at the same time, can feel the movements they perform and, whenever they suffer damage, they can self-heal. However, what is best about them is probably the fact that they are extremely cheap to manufacture.The robotic muscles have been called actuators, and have drawn inspiration from real-life muscles. By creating robots equipped with this kind of actuators, researchers would allowthem to perform movements just like human muscles.To make the robotic muscles work, they filled some flexible material with electrodes(电极)and with liquid and oil. Then, they applied some electricity, and the liquid and oil started moving around the electrodes and powered them. This way, the robotic muscles started contracting and relaxing just like real muscles, but a lot quicker.Researchers also took inspiration from the variety of human muscles, and created more types of actuators, each of them performing a different movement. They called these robotic muscles HASEL ( Hydraulically-Amplified Self-healing Electrostatic). However, they are superior to biological muscles as they are stronger, faster, and more flexible.Even the researchers were amazed they could develop such technology. Eric Acome, the author of one of the studies, explained what is unique about the robotic muscles.“The ability to create electrically powered soft actuators that lift a gallon of water at several times per second is something we haven't seen before.”These muscles are special because they are also self-healing. This property is given by the liquid placed inside of them, which also gives them a lot more advantages than those mechanisms (机械)using solids. In the end, the material which keeps the liquid, the oil and the electrodes is extremely cheap. It is a type of polymer (聚合物)similar to the one used for potato chips bags, and can be manufactures for only 10 cents.4. What can we learn about actuators?A. They can heal on their own.B. They are biological muscles.C. They can not move like human muscles.D. They are slower to react than real muscles.5. What do actuators use to directly power electrodes?A. Solids.B. Liquid and oil.C. A type of polymer.D. Potato chips bags.6. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The origin of actuators.B. The opinions on actuators.C. The advantages of actuators.D. The significance of actuators.7. In which part of a newspaper will the textmost probably appear?A. Health.B. Culture.C. Education.D. Technology.CHidden beneath the surface in the roots of Earths astonishing and diverse plant life, there exists a biological superhighway linking together the members of the plant kingdom in what researchers call the "wood wide web".The network is comprised of thin threads of fungus (真菌) that grow outwards underground up to a few meters from its partnering plant, meaning that all of the plant life within a region likely connected to one another. The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved, plants provide carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to the funguses and in exchange, the funguses aid in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of theSouthChinaAgriculturalUniversityfound that this also allowed for plants to warn one another of potential harm. The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on one another for upcoming danger.Like our Internet, this fungal connectivity is also full of crime. Some plants, such as Golden Marigolds have been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for water and light. Other plants, such as the Phantom Orchid, do not have the chlorophyll (叶绿素) and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrients through the network, allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on; however, this has not been conclusively made clear in experimentation. The more we learn about this phenomenon, the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change. Perhaps one day, we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.8. What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To explain the aim of the web.B. To introduce the main topic.C. To give definition of diverse life.D. To show the importance of plants.9. The criminal behavior of plants can be seen as a way to________.A. compete for survivalB. gather more waterC. take in sunlightD. break natural rules10. What does the last paragraph suggest?A. Animals can also feed on the fungus.B. Nutrient exchanges are too slight to detect.C. No experiment can prove the phenomenon.D. More needs to be done to work out the network.11. Which can be the best title for the text?A. The Partnership between PlantsB. The Unknown Roots of the EarthC. The Superhighway Linking the PlantsD. The Mysterious Map Changing the WorldDPoaching and habitat loss have threatened Africa's two species of elephants, taking them closer toward the edge of disappearance, according to a new report released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN).Before this update, Africa's elephants were grouped together and were evaluated as vulnerable by the IUCN. This is the first time the two species have been sorted separately. In the past, elephants were mostly considered as either Asian elephants or African elephants. Forest and savanna elephants were typically classified as subspecies of African elephants.The African forest elephant is now listed as critically endangered and the African savanna elephant as endangered. The number of African forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a 31 -year assessment period. Thepopulation of African savanna elephants dropped by at least 60% over the last 50 years, according to the IUCN, which tracks the assessment risk of the world's animals. Africa currently has an estimated 415,000 elephants, counting the two species together.Both elephant species experienced significant population decreases because of poaching. Although it peaked in 2011, illegal hunting still happens and continues to threaten elephant populations. African elephants also face continued habitat loss as their land isconvertedfor agriculture or other uses.There is some good conservation news, the IUCN points out. Anti-poaching measures, combined with better land use planning to support better human-wildlife relationships, have helped conservation efforts. Some forest elephant population figures have stabilized in well-managed areas in Gabon and the Republic of Congo and savanna population figures have remained stable or have been growing, particularly in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area in southern Africa.But with constant demand for ivory and increasing human pressures on Africa's wild lands, concern for Africa's elephants is high, and the need to creatively conserve and wisely manage these animals and their habitats is more severe than ever.12. What can be inferred from the new report about African elephants?A. They are divided into three kinds.B. They are dying out.C. Their threat is mainly from poaching.D. Their population has grown in Africa.13. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 3?A. The detailed number of African elephants.B. The similarities of African elephants.C. The different types of African elephants.D. The present situation of African elephants.14. What does the underlined word "converted" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Expanded.B. Protected.C. Transformed.D. Forbidden.15. What's the authors attitude to the present situation of African elephants?A. Hopeless.B. Optimistic.C. Uncertain.D. Worried.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

To promote environmental protection．D. To clarify some conventional views of wolves．CHave you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience farm life？If not，Dr．Cindy Ayers-Elliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms．The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple．When Ayers-Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation，she didn' t have to look any further than her state' s alarming health statistics to find a mission．Everywhere she turned，there were reports of high blood pressure，diabetes，obesity and heart disease．"The problem was already identified．" explains Ayers-Elliott．"Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn't take research to see that．And many of the state' s greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet．"These days，Foot Print Farms，which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables，is making fresh，naturally grown food．"When speaking of the key to my success，the co-op model works because we share the work and rewards，" notes Ayers-Elliott．" A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team．To earn the money for equipment and other items，players committed to working five hours a week on the farm，and by the end of the summer they had produced 1，000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights，T-shirts，sweat suits and pregame meals．But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts．""It' s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I' m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that--to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities，"Ayers-Elliott remarks．She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism aspect to the farm，where visitors can experience farm life，learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home．8.What made Ayers-Elliott set up Foot Print Farms______A.

Ambiguous．11.What is the main idea of the text______A. Naturally grown food benefits people's health．B. Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi．C. Ayers-Elliott encourages people to experience farmD. Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America．DWe can video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of Everest．But communicating with a submarine （潜艇）or a diver is not so easy．The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne devices has long been a frustration for scientists．The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water．Sonar （声呐）signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of the water rather than reaching the air．Now，researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionizeunderwater communication．"What we've shown is that it's actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air，" says Fadel Adib，a professor at MJT's Media Lab，who led the research．The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface，making vibrations （震动）corresponding to the ls and Os of the data． A surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations．The researchers call the system TARF．It has any number of potential real-world uses，Adib says．It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane' s black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface．Right now the technology is low-resolution．The initial study was conducted in the MIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet．The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions-high waves，storms，schools of fish．They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction- air to water．If the technology proves successful in real-world conditions，expect "texting while diving" to be the latest underwater fashion．12.What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1？______A. The future of video chat underwater and in air．B. The frustrations of developing underwater devices．C. The difficulty of communication from water to air．D. The current situation of communicating with a submarine．13.What does the underlined word "feasible" mean？______A. Achievable．B. Convenient．C. Changeable．D. Alternative．14.What do we know about TARF？______A. It is widely used to find downed planes．B. It can work well at great depths underwater．C. It is an underwater machine that sends signals．D. It can send，receive and read signals from underwater．15.What is the best title for the text？______A. The Real-world Uses of Sonar TechnologyB. Full Water-to-air Communication Closer to RealityC. A Breakthrough in the Application of Video ChatD. TARF Becoming a New Means of Communication二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Apologizing the Right Way to a Friend Why are apologies so difficult Saying you are sorry can be one of the most difficult things you do．But we all make mistakes，so you'll probably have an occasion when you need to apologize．Perhaps you had a big blow up and realized later you reacted poorly．(1) Whatever the reason，apologizing can help you both heal and move on from the situation．(2) First，you acknowledge that you did something wrong．With an apology，you take responsibility for your actions，which allows your friend to forgive you．Second，an apology gives you sincerity as a friend．(3) ，but that doesn' t mean you still shouldn't apologize．Now，what are elements of a proper apology？(4) ，depending on what the offense was，where it was done，and who you are apologizing to．In general， a good apology should include the following： a request for their attention，an acknowledgment of what happened，sincerity in admitting you did something wrong and the words．"I'm sorry" or "I apologize．" Here are things never to say when apologizing．Note that the art of apologizing involves taking responsibility．Never apologize as a way to "shut someone up" when they are sayingyou hurt their feelings and you don't think you did．(5) ，you should talk things through with your friend until you see why they are hurt or how you came across．You'll really need to self-reflect so you can see things from your friend' s point of view．A．When you make your apology in personB．If you really believe you did nothing wrongC．Apologies benefit friendships in a variety of waysD．The way you apologize is going to be slightly differentE．Or maybe you just didn't show support when you needed toF．Apologizing the right way，however，may take a little practiceG．Sometimes our pals forgive us easily for the minor things we do wrong16.

2020届合肥市第七中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ALost cities that have been foundThe White CityIn 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras in search of"the Lost City of the Monke God"led to the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者) occupied their homeland in the16th century.Canopus and HeracleionModern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion-where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren’t found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物) showedthat the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt. Machu PicchuA Yale professor discovered "the Lost City in the Clouds"in 1911. A combination of palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons,was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved.TroyThe ancient city of Troy in homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered (层叠) on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse.1.Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?A.To survive the warB.To search for a lost city.C.To protect their country.D.To avoid dangerous animals2.Which of the following was related to a royal family member?A.The White CityB.Canopus and HeracleionC.Machu PicchuD.Troy3.What can we learn about Troy?A.It was built by Homer.B.It consisted of nine citiesC.It had a history of 5,000 yearsD.It was ruined by a natural disaster.BThe Great Barrier Reef's outlook remains “very poor” despite coral (珊瑚) recovery over the past year, Australian government scientistssaid Monday, just days before a UNESCO ruling on the site's world heritage (遗产) status.The United Nations cultural agency recommended last month that the world's largest reef (珊瑚礁) system be placed on its endangered list because of damage to the corals largely caused by climate change.The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) said the corals were now in a “recovery window” after a decade of harmful heat stress and cyclones (旋风). But such opportunities were becoming rarer due to the influence ofclimate change, the government agency, which has monitored the reef for 35 years, said in its annual report released today. “The increasing emergence of climate-related extreme weather events and starfish outbreaks is causing more severe and frequent pressures, giving the reef fewer opportunities like this to recover,”CEO Paul Hardisty said. The scientists surveyed 127 reef sites in 2021 and found hard coral cover had increased at 69 of the 81 locations surveyed in the past two years.Separate scientific research released last October found the 2, 300-kilometre (1, 400 miles) system had lost half its corals since 1995, with a series of ocean heatwaves causing mass coral death.Britta Schaffelke, research program director at AIMS, said the latest findings provided a slight hope that the reef still has the power of recovering. But she added that its future is still very poor because of the dangers of climate change and other factors that are affecting the reef.UNESCO has urged Australia to take urgent climate action but the government has long resisted calls tocommit to net zero emissions (排放) by 2050. The government has said it hopes to meet the target “as soon as possible” without harming its economy, insisting dealing with climate change requires a global effort. The reef was worth about US $4. 8 billion a year in tourism for the Australian economy and there are fears that an “in danger” listing could weaken its tourist appeal.4. What is the major cause of the damage to the corals?A. The climate change.B. Lack of money.C. Over development.D. Too many tourists.5. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The result of the survey.B. The efforts AIMS has made.C. The slight chance of the recovery.D. The terrible situation of the climate.6. What is Britta Schaffelke's attitude towards the future of the reef?A. Unclear.B. Positive.C Intolerant. D. Anxious.7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Australia wants to put the reef on the endangered list.B. The Australian government has ignored UNESCO's demand.C. Australia hopes to keep a balance between emission target and its economy.D. The Australian government refuses to take its share of responsibility of climate change.CA nurse has fulfilled (实现) a promise she made to her patient four years ago to one day attend her daughter's graduation from nursing school.Edina Habibovic, 22, graduated from Chamberlain University's College of Nursing in 2020. Her mother, Sevala Habibovic, 46, died in2017 after a two year fight with breast cancer.“I thought the medical field wasn't for me. Then, my mom got sick and I had all the experience going in and out of the hospital, ” Edina toldGood MorningAmerica. “When my mom passed away, I thought, ‘I want to dothis.’”she said.Sanja Josipovic, who at the time worked as a home health nurse with Northwestern Medicine in Winfield, Illinois, cared for Sevala inside her home. They often chatted and shared the latest news with each other over sixmonths of care.“She was most worried about Edina because she was young and hadn't finished school yet, ” Sanja said. “We are like sisters; we care about and trust each other. She was a powerful and strong minded woman. She wasn't scared to die; she was just worried about her kids and husband.”Edina said her mother lived for being with her family and taking care of people. “When Sanja was working, my mom would still try to make her something to eat, no matter how sick she was, ” Edina added. When Sevala's life was coming to an end, she asked Sanja to take her place at her youngest daughter's nursing school graduation. “That was the only thing she was going to miss. Edina's graduation, ” said Sanja, who is a mother of three herself. She agreed.Due to COVID -19, there was no graduation or pinning ceremony. Edina's manager at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital decided to host a pinning ceremony for her and have Sanja present the pin. “Sanja has fulfilled her promise, ” Edina said.Edina and Sanja are now caring for patients alongside one another as colleagues at Marianjoy.8. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Leaving the hospitalB. Working as a nurseC. Facing death positivelyD. Caring for Edina's mother9. What can be learned about Sanja and Sevala?A. They enjoyed volunteeringB. They were cancer survivorsC. They had unhappy marriagesD. They developed a close bond10. What would be Sevala's regret?A. The loss of the chance to study medicineB. Her absence from Edina's school graduationC. Failing to keep the promise made to SanjaD. Never cooking a good meal for her husband11. How did Sanja fulfill her promise?A. By taking care of Edina and her familyB. By helping Edina enter her dream hospitalC. By attending a special ceremony for EdinaD. By managing to become Edina's colleagueDMost kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books to read. But it’s not that simple for kids who are blind. They read in a different way. Jenny Lee and other braille (盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots. Blind people can read these dots with their fingers. To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily. She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam: she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille. Today, Lee works for a publisher. One of her jobs is to change children’s books into braille.To do this, Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code. Next, she looks over the translation several times to make sure it’s mistake-free. After that, a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer. Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes. When a book is ready, many copies of it are printed. Afterwards, some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break. Several of Jenny Lee’s co-workers, who are blind, use guide dogs. When the animals aren’t working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them. To her, playing with dogs “is always apick-me-upin the middle of the day”.“I love this mission,” Lee says. “Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’s hands.”12. How does the writer explain what braille feels like?A. By explaining what braille words look like.B. By describing how blind people read books.C. By asking readers to experience it themselves.D. By giving examples of different braille words.13. What was Lee’s first reaction to braille?A. She was excited to get a new skill.B. She was amazed at the clever idea.C. She realized she could teach it herself.D. She believed it would be difficult to learn.14. What does the underlined word “pick-me-up” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?A A discussion to release work stress.B. Something to improve one’s appetite.C. Something to help restore one’s spirit.D. A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.15. What does Lee think of her job?A. Profitable and hopeful.B. Tiring but meaningful.C. Relaxing and helpful.D. Boring but challenging.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

高考英语一模试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe following 4 famous paintings-from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece-have stood the test of time．The Amolfini PortraitJan van Eyck's Amolfini Portrait，an oil painting on wood produced in 1434，in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her，is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery，London．This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed．It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society，through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business，wives concerned themselves with domestic duties．The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night，oil on canvas （帆布），a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village，during his12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint - Remy - de - Provence，France between 1889 and 1890．When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941，it was not well known，but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works．The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565．It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September．Nicolaes Jonghelinck，a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp，commissioned this painting．The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919．GuernicaGuernica，a large black-and-white oil painting，was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter，Pablo Picasso in 1937．The title 'Guernica' refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War．The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result，has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war．Today，the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid．1.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest？______A. Guernica．B. The Harvesters．C. The Starry Night．D. The Amolfini Portrait．2.Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons？______A. Pieter Bruegelthe Elder．B. Vincent van Gogh．C. Jan van Eyck．D. Pablo Picasso．3.What do we know about the painting The Starry Night？______A. It was painted on wood in oils．B. It described the painter's life in hospital．C. It wasn't widely recognized before 1941．D. It was given away to the museum by a collector．BAdventure-seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot．When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight，she became so fearful of crutches （拐杖）that she didn't move for three weeks．"I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself．So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day，" says Emma．She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run-a quarterly event that she hasn't missed since 2014．"If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year，one in each season，you get Alpha Wolf status，" explains Emma．"This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I'd lose my status．" So she was willing to try anything to get through the course-even with her injured ankle．"I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel，and he persuaded me to give it a go．Having something to aim for really kept me going．" Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2．0，which is a medically-approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg，allowing users to walk freely．I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery．I could move around the house and start getting out and about again，which had a real impact on my mental well-being．"On the day of the race，Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated．Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up her 23 rd Wolf Run in five years．" It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going，" says Emma．4.Why was Emma frightened to use a crutch______A. She was afraid of recovering slowly．B. She was warned not to move around．C. She just had an operation on her foot．D. She often got injured when using one．5.What does the underlined word "gutted" mean in Paragraph 2______A. Extremely sad．B. A bit relieved．C. Very surprised．D. Pretty cheerful．6.What actually made Emma take part in the race？______A. Her new hi-tech artificial leg．B. Her fear of letting her friend down．C. Her strong desire to achieve her ambition．D. Her complete recovery from the operation．7.Which of the following best describes Emma？______A. Strong-willed．B. Supportive．C. Creative．D. Humorous．CErik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr．Paul Gauthier，a plant physiologist specializing in vertical farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming．Humans have 12，000 years of experience growing food，but only a generation or so worth of experience growing crops indoors．We are still progressing up the technology learning curve （学习曲线）．What's more，traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming．Therefore，without taking time to understand the science，vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises．The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome．Dr．Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as " pie-in-the-sky" businesses．He famously calculates，for instance，that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high．Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis （光合作用），so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light．Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high，vertical farming does create high efficiencies in other areas．Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again．Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary．It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society．The future is probably mixed．In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer．An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland．In other geographies，though，the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability．A large vertical fanning and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine - year life．8.What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2______A. It will replace traditional farming one day．B. It relies on research of more basic science．C. It can be applicable on different conditions．D. It actually came into being 12，000 years ago．9.What does Dr．Albright think of vertical farms？______A. They use less light than traditional ones．B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed．C. They can overcome many problems in farming．D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer．10.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about______A. The ways of reducing costs of vertical fanning．B. The secrets of developing vertical farming．C. The recent trend of vertical farming．D. The benefits of vertical farming．11.Why is the example of "an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia" mentioned______A. To show vertical fanning can work well in some places．B. To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia．C. To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high．D. To argue vegetables do not need to be imported any longer．DResearchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth，but it's not Atlantis．They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology，which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran．The continent is called Greater Adria．It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa，only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago．And chances are you've been there without even knowing it．"Forget Atlantis，said Douwe，study author and professor at Utrecht University．" Without realizing it，vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria．" This area is called Adria by geologists，so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent asGreater Adria．Most of Greater Adria was underwater，covered by shallow seas，coral reefs and sediments （沉淀物）．The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas：the Alps，the Apennines，the Balkans，Greece and Turkey．The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago．This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found．In January 2017，researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana，which began breaking apart 200 million years ago．The leftover piece，which was covered in lava （岩浆），is now under Mauritius，an island in the Indian Ocean．And in September 2017，a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific．It's two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea．Greater Adria isn't the first lost continent to be found．But if research in past years shows anything，it likely won't be the last discovery．12.How did the researchers find Greater Adria？______A. They found it accidentally．B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis．C. They discovered it after years of seaching．D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges．13.What do we know about Greater Adria？______A. It is hidden under the sea level．B. It is much smaller than Greenland．C. It has existed for about 240 million years．D. It has been known to many tourists before．14.Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4？______A.

more，traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming．Therefore，without takingtime to understand the science，vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises．传统的耕作技术是建立在不适用于垂直耕作的条件之上的，因此，如果不花时间去理解科学，垂直耕作就不可能实现其隐含的承诺．可知，垂直耕作的实现要依赖更多的科学研究，结合选项，故选B．2．B．细节理解题．根据文章第三段，He famously calculates，for instance，that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high．Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis （光合作用），so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light．例如，他有一个著名的计算，如果在室内种植，一条面包的成本将是24美元，成本太高．Gauthier承认能源价格很高，但他指出，科学研究表明，只有约6%的可用阳光用于作物光合作用，因此可能有办法在较少的光线下种植相同的植物．可知，Dr．Albright 认为垂直耕作成功的可能性不是很大，结合选项，故选B．3．D．段落大意题．根据文章第四段，Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high，vertical farming does create high efficiencies in other areas．Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again．Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary．It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society．Gauthier还指出，虽然能源成本有点高，但垂直耕作确实在其他地区创造了高效率．由于相同的水可以一次又一次地循环利用，因此用水可能会大大减少．化肥的使用可能会大大减少，杀虫剂也不必用于害虫防治．很明显，垂直耕作农业为社会提供了真正的价值．可知，第四段讲述了垂直耕作的益处，结合选项，故选D．4．A．推理判断题．根据文章最后一段，The future is probably mixed．In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer．An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland．未来可能是喜忧参半的．在某些环境中，例如中东，转向垂直农业是不需要考虑的．例如，沙特阿拉伯的一个室内农场可以使用太阳能以低成本为LED供电，而不会遮住其他农田．可知，提到沙提阿拉伯的例子是为了证明，垂直农业在某些地方是可以很好的运作的，结合选项，故选A．本文章主要讲述了垂直耕作的必要条件，并说明了其特点和益处．阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．12.【答案】【小题1】A

The problems faced by local farmers．B. Her further research into heart disease．C. The failure of her career after graduation．D. The health state of people in her hometown．9.Why does the author take the football team as an example？______A. To advocate the concept of independence．B. To stress the importance of teamwork．C.

Ayers-Elliott encourages people to experience farmD. Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America．DWe can video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of Everest．But communicating with a submarine （潜艇）or a diver is not so easy．The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne devices has long been a frustration for scientists．The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water．Sonar （声呐）signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of the water rather than reaching the air．Now，researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication．"What we've shown is that it's actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air，" says Fadel Adib，a professor at MJT's Media Lab，who led the research．The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface，making vibrations （震动）corresponding to the ls and Os of the data．Asurface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations．The researchers call the system TARF．It has any number of potential real-world uses，Adib says．It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane' s black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface．Right now the technology is low-resolution．The initial study was conducted in the MIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet．The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions-high waves，storms，schools of fish．They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction- air to water．If the technology proves successful in real-world conditions，expect "texting while diving" to be the latest underwater fashion．12.What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1？______A. The future of video chat underwater and in air．B. The frustrations of developing underwater devices．C. The difficulty of communication from water to air．D.

It can send，receive and read signals from underwater．15.What is the best title for the text？______A. The Real-world Uses of Sonar TechnologyB. Full Water-to-air Communication Closer to RealityC. A Breakthrough in the Application of Video ChatD. TARF Becoming a New Means of Communication二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Apologizing the Right Way to a Friend Why are apologies so difficult？Saying you are sorry can be one of the most difficult things you do．But we all make mistakes，so you'll probably have an occasion when you need to apologize．Perhaps you had a big blow up and realized later you reacted poorly．(1) Whatever the reason ，apologizing can help you both heal and move on from the situation．(2) First，you acknowledge that you did something wrong．With an apology，you take responsibility for your actions，which allows your friend to forgive you．Second，an apology gives you sincerity as a friend．(3) ，but that doesn' t mean you still shouldn't apologize．Now，what are elements of a proper apology？(4) ，depending on what the offense was，where it was done，and who you are apologizing to．In general，a good apology should include the following：a request for their attention，an acknowledgment of what happened，sincerity in admitting you did something wrong and the words．"I'm sorry" or "I apologize．"Here are things never to say when apologizing．Note that the art of apologizing involves taking responsibility．Never apologize as a way to "shut someone up" when they are saying you hurt their feelings and you don't think you did．(5) ，you should talk things through with your friend until you see why they are hurt or how you came across．You'll really need to self-reflect so you can see things from your friend' s point of view．A．When you make your apology in personB．If you really believe you did nothing wrongC．Apologies benefit friendships in a variety of waysD．The way you apologize is going to be slightly differentE．Or maybe you just didn't show support when you needed toF．Apologizing the right way，however，may take a little practiceG．Sometimes our pals forgive us easily for the minor things we do wrong16.

高考英语一模试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe following 4 famous paintings-from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece-have stood the test of time．The Amolfini PortraitJan van Eyck's Amolfini Portrait，an oil painting on wood produced in 1434，in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her，is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery，London．This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed．It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society，through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business，wives concerned themselves with domestic duties．The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night，oil on canvas （帆布），a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village，during his12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint - Remy - de - Provence，France between 1889 and 1890．When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941，it was not well known，but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works．The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565．It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September．Nicolaes Jonghelinck，a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp，commissioned this painting．The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919．GuernicaGuernica，a large black-and-white oil painting，was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter，Pablo Picasso in 1937．The title 'Guernica' refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War．The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result，has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war．Today，the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid．1.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest？______A. Guernica．B. The Harvesters．C. The Starry Night．D. The Amolfini Portrait．2.Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons？______A. Pieter Bruegelthe Elder．B. Vincent van Gogh．C. Jan van Eyck．D. Pablo Picasso．3.What do we know about the painting The Starry Night？______A. It was painted on wood in oils．B. It described the painter's life in hospital．C. It wasn't widely recognized before 1941．D. It was given away to the museum by a collector．BAdventure-seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot．When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight，she became so fearful of crutches （拐杖）that she didn't move for three weeks．"I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself．So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day，" says Emma．She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run-a quarterly event that she hasn't missed since 2014．"If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year，one in each season，you get Alpha Wolf status，" explains Emma．"This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I'd lose my status．" So she was willing to try anything to get through the course-even with her injured ankle．"I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel，and he persuaded me to give it a go．Having something to aim for really kept me going．" Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2．0，which is a medically-approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg，allowing users to walk freely．I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery．I could move around the house and start getting out and about again，which had a real impact on my mental well-being．"On the day of the race，Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated．Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up her 23 rd Wolf Run in five years．" It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going，" says Emma．4.Why was Emma frightened to use a crutch？______A. She was afraid of recovering slowly．B. She was warned not to move around．C. She just had an operation on her foot．D. She often got injured when using one．5.What does the underlined word "gutted" mean in Paragraph 2？______A. Extremely sad．B. A bit relieved．C. Very surprised．D. Pretty cheerful．6.What actually made Emma take part in the race？______A. Her new hi-tech artificial leg．B. Her fear of letting her friend down．C. Her strong desire to achieve her ambition．D. Her complete recovery from the operation．7.Which of the following best describes Emma？______A. Strong-willed．B. Supportive．C. Creative．D. Humorous．CErik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr．Paul Gauthier，a plant physiologist specializing in vertical farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming．Humans have 12，000 years of experience growing food，but only a generation or so worth of experience growing crops indoors．We are still progressing up the technology learning curve （学习曲线）．What's more，traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming．Therefore，without taking time to understand the science，vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises．The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome．Dr．Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as " pie-in-the-sky" businesses．He famously calculates，for instance，that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high．Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis （光合作用），so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light．Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high，vertical farming does create high efficiencies in other areas．Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again．Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary．It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society．The future is probably mixed．In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer．An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland．In other geographies，though，the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability．A large vertical fanning and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine - year life．8.What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2？______A. It will replace traditional farming one day．B. It relies on research of more basic science．C. It can be applicable on different conditions．D. It actually came into being 12，000 years ago．9.What does Dr．Albright think of vertical farms？______A. They use less light than traditional ones．B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed．C. They can overcome many problems in farming．D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer．10.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？______A. The ways of reducing costs of vertical fanning．B. The secrets of developing vertical farming．C. The recent trend of vertical farming．D. The benefits of vertical farming．11.Why is the example of "an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia" mentioned？______A. To show vertical fanning can work well in some places．B. To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia．C. To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high．D. To argue vegetables do not need to be imported any longer．DResearchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth，but it's not Atlantis．They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology，which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran．The continent is called Greater Adria．It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa，only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago．And chances are you've been there without even knowing it．"Forget Atlantis，said Douwe，study author and professor at Utrecht University．" Without realizing it，vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria．" This area is called Adria by geologists，so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscoveredcontinent as Greater Adria．Most of Greater Adria was underwater，covered by shallow seas，coral reefs and sediments （沉淀物）．The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas：the Alps，the Apennines，the Balkans，Greece and Turkey．The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago．This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found．In January 2017，researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana，which began breaking apart 200 million years ago．The leftover piece，which was covered in lava （岩浆），is now under Mauritius，an island in the Indian Ocean．And in September 2017，a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific．It's two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea．Greater Adria isn't the first lost continent to be found．But if research in past years shows anything，it likely won't be the last discovery．12.How did the researchers find Greater Adria？______A. They found it accidentally．B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis．C. They discovered it after years of seaching．D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges．13.What do we know about Greater Adria？______A. It is hidden under the sea level．B. It is much smaller than Greenland．C. It has existed for about 240 million years．D. It has been known to many tourists before．14.Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4？______A. To describe how the researchers explored continents．B. To show some other lost continents have been found．C. To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria．D. To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried．15.What is the best title for the text？______A. Atlantis Discovered FinallyB. Undersea World ExploredC. A Hidden Mountain UndiscoveredD. A Lost Continent Found Under Europe二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Easy Ways to Give Yourself a Fresh Start It doesn't need to be complicated or challenging to turn a fresh page on each new day．Whenever we mark a new year-by turning the calendar，returning to school or celebrating a holiday-we are looking for a fresh start．(1) But how？Here are some easy ways to connect with that feeling of starting fresh，whether it's a new year or simply a new day in our life．(2) This means you have realized what serves your life now and what can stay in your past．Or invest in a new pen and a new notebook．Having fresh supplies can stimulate even the common task of creating your to-do list．Moreover，you can learn something new by opening a book you've been expecting to read，searching a question that's been on your mind，enrolling in a class that motivates your interest．Of course you can simply ask a friend for a fresh idea about an issue．(3)Take a break from technology-for an hour，a day，or a week．(4) You should be able to put some space between yourself and digital routines．One reason we sometimes struggle to start fresh is that you get stuck reflecting on worrisome thoughts about the past，the future or even the present．(5) Allow these thoughts into your day only at a brief （30 minutes or less），specific time．The rest of the time，focus on what you are doing that*s new and positive．How do you give yourself that " fresh start" feeling？A．Electronic Products might not be serving you best．B．Newness or the freshness can guide us on a positive path．C．Limit your daily " worry time" and make an appointment with yourself．D．All of us enjoy newness，but what is it that leads to a sense of freshness？E．Realizing your past mistakes，you should move forward with enthusiasm．F．Increasing your knowledge on any topic means taking your mind into a fresh area．G．First，even letting go of a single box or bag of items can give you a refreshing sense．16.

loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high．Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis （光合作用），so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light．例如，他有一个著名的计算，如果在室内种植，一条面包的成本将是24美元，成本太高．Gauthier承认能源价格很高，但他指出，科学研究表明，只有约6%的可用阳光用于作物光合作用，因此可能有办法在较少的光线下种植相同的植物．可知，Dr．Albright 认为垂直耕作成功的可能性不是很大，结合选项，故选B．3．D．段落大意题．根据文章第四段，Gauthier also points out

society．Gauthier还指出，虽然能源成本有点高，但垂直耕作确实在其他地区创造了高效率．由于相同的水可以一次又一次地循环利用，因此用水可能会大大减少．化肥的使用可能会大大减少，杀虫剂也不必用于害虫防治．很明显，垂直耕作农业为社会提供了真正的价值．可知，第四段讲述了垂直耕作的益处，结合选项，故选D．4．A．推理判断题．根据文章最后一段，The future is probably mixed．In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer．An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland．未来可能是喜忧参半的．在某些环境中，例如中东，转向垂直农业是不需要考虑的．例如，沙特阿拉伯的一个室内农场可以使用太阳能以低成本为LED供电，而不会遮住其他农田．可知，提到沙提阿拉伯的例子是为了证明，垂直农业在某些地方是可以很好的运作的，结合选项，故选A．本文章主要讲述了垂直耕作的必要条件，并说明了其特点和益处．阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．12.【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】C【小题3】B【小题4】D【解析】1．A．细节理解题．根据文章第一段They

2020年合肥市第二十中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThank you. It’s my great honor to be given this award.You cannot imagine that I have always been a late starter. Years ago, when I was 16, I took an important exam — GCE(General Certificate of Education), which turned out to be a failure. My dad was reading my report card and saw that my position in class was 29th, but the number in class was 29. It meant that I had achieved the distinction of being bottom of my class.I wasn’t lazy, and I was really trying. You can picture how I felt. Dad put his hand on my shoulder and said, “You can only do the best you can, but whatever you decide to do, make sure you love it.” He was a really sweet guy and a great man. I knew his attempt to hide his disappointment with some of his encouraging words. I was depressed for a week, but his advice was a wake-up call.Fortunately I love working with my hands, and I was good at two things: woodwork and art, and I really loved to draw and paint. I was quite talented. Dad strongly encouraged me to go to art school, which in those days wasn’t the obvious place that a father would suggest.So I got into Hartlepool College of Art. The college was a revelation (出乎意料), the passionate teachers there, who were extremely interested in the students, not just tolerating them but actually engaging with them. It was a world apart from my schooling until then. It’s extraordinary what an enthusiastic teacher can do, drawing the student out, lighting independence, and encouraging a design of your own future, rather than waiting for something to happen. I’m honored to have become one of these passionate teachers years later.My teachers inspired me, and thanks to my dad, here I am tonight. I think I should mention all the talents I have worked with over time, and to my kids and my wife Giannina, thank you.Thank you for this great award. I shall find a very special place for it.1. How did the author feel after taking GCE?A. Happy.B. Upset.C. Tired.D. Relieved.2. What didHartlepoolCollege of Art impress the author most?A. The teachers were strict with students.B. The students set good examples for each other.C. The teachers inspired students’ passion for learning.D. The students got prepared for their lessons independently.3. The author gave this speech to ________.A. share his career choiceB. explain his teaching methodsC. describe his life experienceD. show his appreciationBImagine turning on the GPS and seeing an image of your car from above. As the car drives, the map follows along in real time, alarming you to any traffic, pedestrians,animals, or other things nearby. Routes and names of roads appear over the live stream. It's like the map has come to life.This type of map isn't available yet. But it could be soon. In 2014, the Worldview-3 satellites was launched into space. Even though it orbits Earth at more than 370 miles（600 km）away, it can capture images of objects on Earth that are just 10 inches（25cm）across.Peeringall the way from outer space, it can make out a smartphone held in your hand. It can tell what types of cars are traveling down a road. But it can't identify your face or read the cars' license plate numbers . . . at least not openly.According to some reports, this satellite and other US spy satellites have the technology to take even sharper images, with a resolution（分辨率）of up to around 4 inches（10cm）. ButUS law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public, to prevent enemies from using them. But the idea that anybody might be able to spy on the entire Earth in such detail may seem horrible. Live, high-detail satellite mapping could possibly be used to monitor anybody at any time. Ray Purdy of University College London told CNN that he is concerned about what this could mean for privacy. Most satellites are commercially owned, so if you have money you can buy that imagery. “It means anyone can spy on anyone,” he said.At the same time, live, detailed maps of Earth's surface could be useful in amazing ways. Live maps of a disaster area could quickly discover people in need of rescue as well as the safest routes in or out. Satellite images are already helping catch illegal logging and fishing operations. Higher detail may make it possible to catch other criminals in the act. The images could also make it easier for farmers to watch over their crops.What do you think? Do you wish everyone could access high-detail live maps of Earth's surface?4. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?A. SeeingB. StandingC. WalkingD. Hearing5. Why does US law forbid making super-sharp pictures public?A. to protect the technology.B. for the sake of safety.C. to protect the environment.D. to threat other countries.6. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. This super-sharp map hasn't been put into market.B. Worldview-3 satellites orbits the Earth at 370 km away.C. Personal privacy is safely protected if you use the super-sharp map.D. The super-sharp map should be completely forbidden.7. How is this technology used in agriculture?A. It can help improve the production of crops.B. It can help kill pests.C. It can help farmer to watch over their crops from far away.D. It can help increase farm land.CZaki was small for his twelve years, and he was angry being treated as a child. Farid, his older brother, had been looked upon as a man long before he was Zaki’s age. Every day Farid and the other young Bahraini men went out in their wooden boats to dive for oysters (牡蛎). Many times Zaki begged to go along, but Faridalways refused to let him.So every day Zaki would go to the shallow water to practice. His grandfather, a former diver, would watch him and advise him. All morning, Zaki would practice diving beneath the waves. Every afternoon, again and again he would go underwater and hold his breath. With each day’s practice, his diving improved and he could hold his breath a little while longer. Soon Zaki felt as much at home in the water as he did out of it.Zaki rose early one day. He wanted to compete with his brother. They dived beneath the waves. Zaki opened his eyes and found himself looking into his brother’s face. Farid was smiling with confidence. Slowly, the smile was disappearing from Farid’s face. As more seconds passed, a worried look appeared on Farid’s face. Farid was realizing that Zaki could possibly beat him. Looking into Farid’s eyes, Zaki suddenly understood what losing could mean to his brother. Never would the villagers allow him to live it down. He would be laughed at by losing to a little child. Almost without thinking, Zaki kicked his feet and rose to the surface of the water a second before Farid’s head appeared beside him.The men around them cheered and patted Farid on the back. Farid, however, put his arm around Zaki’sshoulders. “Today,” Farid announced, “we shall have a new diver among us.” Then quietly, for Zaki’s ears alone, he said “Thank you, my brother.” And Zaki knew that they both had learned that it takes more than strength to makea man.8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Zaki’s grandfather was a good diver.B. Zaki liked staying at home every day.C. Zaki practised hard in the water daily.D. Zaki’s grandfather encouraged him to dive.9. Which of the following best describes Zaki according to paragraph 3?A. Considerate.B. Ambitious.C. Confident.D. Adventurous.10. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Farid beat his little brother easily.B. Zaki was as strong as his brother.C. Zaki regretted losing the competition.D. Both Farid and Zaki had grown up.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Farid’s PrideB. Zaki’s ChallengeC. Brothers’ CompetitionD. Grandfather’s AdviceDPoaching and habitat loss have threatened Africa's two species of elephants, taking them closer toward the edge of disappearance, according to a new report released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN).Before this update, Africa's elephants were grouped together and were evaluated as vulnerable by the IUCN. This is the first time the two species have been sorted separately. In the past, elephants were mostly considered as either Asian elephants or African elephants. Forest and savanna elephants were typically classified as subspecies of African elephants.The African forest elephant is now listed as critically endangered and the African savanna elephant as endangered. The number of African forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a 31 -year assessment period. The population of African savanna elephants dropped by at least 60% over the last 50 years, according to the IUCN,which tracks the assessment risk of the world's animals. Africa currently has an estimated 415,000 elephants, counting the two species together.Both elephant species experienced significant population decreases because of poaching. Although it peaked in 2011, illegal hunting still happens and continues to threaten elephant populations. African elephants also face continued habitat loss as their land isconvertedfor agriculture or other uses.There is some good conservation news, the IUCN points out. Anti-poaching measures, combined with better land use planning to support better human-wildlife relationships, have helped conservation efforts. Some forest elephant population figures have stabilized in well-managed areas in Gabon and the Republic of Congo and savanna population figures have remained stable or have been growing, particularly in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area in southern Africa.But with constant demand for ivory and increasing human pressures on Africa's wild lands, concern for Africa's elephants is high, and the need to creatively conserve and wisely manage these animals and their habitats is more severe than ever.12. What can be inferred from the new report about African elephants?A. They are divided into three kinds.B. They are dying out.C. Their threat is mainly from poaching.D. Their population has grown in Africa.13. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 3?A. The detailed number of African elephants.B. The similarities of African elephants.C. The different types of African elephants.D. The present situation of African elephants.14. What does the underlined word "converted" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Expanded.B. Protected.C. Transformed.D. Forbidden.15. What's the authors attitude to the present situation of African elephants?A. Hopeless.B. Optimistic.C. Uncertain.D. Worried.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
