AWhen you hear the name Leonardo da Vinci, what comes to mind? Maybe his paintings, Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Maybe it's his flying machine invention. When I think of this great man, I think of the term “Renaissance Man”. Why? The term “Renaissance Man” comes from fifteenth-century Italy and refers to the idea of a person with knowledge and skills in a number of different areas. Perhaps, no single individual xkw defines the idea of a Renaissance man better than Leonardo da Vinci-an artist, scientist, architect, engineer and inventor.Leonardo da Vinci will most likely go down in history for his famous works as an artist. But,did you know that he spent a significant amount of time working on his endeavors in science and technology? Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most productive inventors in history. Some of his most famous inventions are the flying machine, the parachute and the revolving bridge. Leonardo has also been given credit by historians for many more inventions.Once in the courtyard of Senor Ludovico, Leonardo da Vinci constantly invented various “labour-saving devices” for use in the kitchen. At the same tim e, he began to keep notebooks. The funny thing was that most of the drawings found there, which for several hundred years were considered by researchers to be mechanisms for military (军事）operations, in fact, turned out to be quite peaceful meat grinders, dishwashers, mechanical devices for cracking nuts. The restless Leonardo invented the manual garlic press, which has remained virtually unchanged to our day, a foot-operated napkin dryer, an egg cutter, and many other useful things.But his most important discovery is the invention of spaghetti. Of course, pasta (意大利面食）has existed in Italy since ancient time. But it was a hard and very broad substance, like a heavy lump of lasagna (面块）. Leonardo changed the shape of the pasta, making a machine that cut it into long thin strips, which after boiling turned into spaghetti.21. Leonardo da Vinci is mentioned as “Renaissance Man” for his _A. individual ideasB. diverse talentsC. representative worksD. birth time and place22. What is known about his inventions in the courtyard of Senor Ludovico?A. They were practical for everyday use.B. They reached record high at that time.C. They have remained unchanged to our day.D. They were intended for military operations.23. In what way did Leonardo da Vinci change pasta?A. Taste.B. Color.C. Fragrance.D. Shape.BFractional ownership is a percentage ownership of a specific asset (资产）. It has often been used to share the ownership of expensive assets such as expensive boats, private planes and so on. When the value of the asset increases, the ownership shares do as well. Co-owners also share equally the costs carried by the asset. Most recently, the same concept of fractional ownership was applied to art as well. The logic is the same. Multiple people own one artwork and share the benefits and the costs of the asset. Galleries and artists, instead of selling one artwork to one person, they can sell it to more than 1000 art lovers.Co-ownership of art gives the possibility to everyone to participate in the art market. The potential market for artworks is suddenly way bigger. Only a few people can afford artworks that cost more than £100,000. But everyone can afford to buy some shares priced at £10 each. On top of this, all co-owners share the costs involved with the acquisition of an artwork. For art lovers that are just starting to collect art for investment (投资）reasons, co-ownership of art can be a great tool to start learning and understanding the market without risking too much capital. For big collectors instead, sharing the ownership of an artwork is an easy way to diversify their portfolio (投资组合）without having the burden of managing the asset.For many years only wealthy people could afford to buy expensive artworks. Because of this, most artworks are hidden in private collections and dark storages since decades where the public has no access to. And, if we think that art is supposed to deliver important messages and topics and is the representation of ourpast and present, it seems incredible that art has become something that few people can fully enjoy. Fractional ownership of art, by giving everyone the possibility to co-own art, has the power to greatly change this. Suddenly, art becomes an asset available to everyone and, by being more accessible, it starts to attract way more people.24.Which of the following is a kind of fractional ownership?A. A wealthy businessman owns a private ship.B. A museum event is attended by 1000 art lovers.C. Galleries and artists sold one artwork to one person.D. 10 friends bought a house priced at S10,000 together.25.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The potential market for artworks.B. The source of capital for investment.C. The benefit of fractional ownership.D. The development of fractional ownership.26.What might the author agree to?A. Art contributes greatly to social economy.B. Co-ownership of art benefits the general public.C. Only wealthy people could afford expensive artworks.D. Fractional ownership is a way to invest without risk.CThe public nowadays has a misunderstanding of forest fires, believing that fires should be kept out of every type of forest. Many of us can recall Smoky the Bear's famous warning: “Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires”. However, that's not always the case. Under th e right conditions, and when conducted safely, fire can create many environmental benefits as well as help prevent larger, uncontrollable wildfires.After a forest fire, many wildlife species will move into recently burned areas to feed on these newly available foods. Some reptiles and amphibians such as the pine (松树）snake prefer forests frequently burned by fire. As Herbert Stoddard put it, “One of the most harmful things modern man has done to birds has been his attempt to exclude fire from fire-type pine forests. Within a few years most forests choke up with bushes, lose their prairie-like vegetation (草原般植被）and can no longer support birds dependent on periodic burning for their food supply and proper cover.”If you are asked to picture the forest floor, what do you see? Pine needles, cones, leaves, branches might come to mind-all sources of fuel. If these fuel sources build up without any type of removal, the 'fuel load' can lead to fires catastrophic to forests and people alike. In contrast, prescribed fire can be used by forest professionals every couple of years to keep forest fuels at an appropriate and manageable level. They can also minimize the spread of pest insects and disease and remove unwanted tree and plant species. Plus, they can create and maintain important wildlife habitats rich in grasses and promote the growth of trees, wildflowers and other various plants.Many organizations and agencies work to promote fire on the landscape when and where appropriate. Smokey Bear even has an updated wa rning: “Only You can Prevent Wildfires,” as the Forest Service has over the last few decades developed policies and procedures to include prescribed fire as a management tool, as well as continuing their work to prevent and fight wildfires.27.Why did the author mention Smoky the Bear's warning?A. To introduce the topic of the passage.B. To clarify a misunderstood concept.C. To show the significance of fire prevention.D. To raise people's awareness of forest protection.28. What can benefit birds according to Herbert Stoddard?A. Forest bushes.B. Fuel sources.C. Pine forests.D. Periodic burning.29. What is the purpose of prescribed fire?A. To put out wildfires.B. To keep the forest balance.C. To remove tree and plant species.D. To keep the fuel rich in the forest.30. What might be the best title for the passage?A. One Match Can Start A Forest FireB. Where There Is Smoke There Is A FireC. Not All Forest Fires Are Created EqualD. Why Not Keep The Forest Fire Burning21-23BAD 24-26DCB 27-30ADBC浙江省嵊州市2021届5月高考科目适应性考试（二模）英语试题第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Business meetings are a necessary part of any organization where people work collectively to accomplish a goal. But badly managed, meetings can be unproductive, boring and feel like a complete waste of time. In a recent survey conducted by governance technology firm e-Share, it was found that the average UK employee spends over 10 hours weekly preparing for and attendingmeetings-approximately 50% of which they consider unnecessary.31It's very likely for an AI (Artificial Intelligence) to be able to recognize when one person is hijacking a meeting, or if a discussion keeps returning to a single issue. If no new points are made after a while, the AI could suggest wrapping up. “If AI can do most of the hard routine work during meetings, that leaves more space for humans to think about strategy and vision,” believes Niki at the Big Innovation Center in AI. 32 The city of Osaka in Japan started using an AI as a minute taker to transcribe and summarize the 450 annual cabinet (内阁）meetings. It has divided the time needed to produce summaries and cut staff overtime.33 If a meeting with irrelevant subject matter is called, or if it's an inconvenient time, an AI could be used to decide who should attend the meeting and when it should be, says Elise Keith from aUS-based meeting management platform.One Stockholm company starts up Mentimeter (人机互动）．34 Using the software, participants can make open-ended responses, submit comments or vote in multiple-choice quizzes. “This has fundamentally changed the dynamics of a presentation," says Austin Broad from financial services firm AFH Wealth Management.While tools that can create agendas, send meeting invitations, distribute the minutes, and keep track of action items should improve effectiveness, they are still in development. 35A. This seems to be true.B. But AI isn't quite there yet.C. AI can also help with the matter of attendance.D. With AI, it will be easy for companies to be flexible.E. It allows meeting attendees to give feedback about a discussion.F. Let's hope that if they do arrive, they will meet our expectations.G. However, there are theories that technology, like AI, could improve things.31-35GACEF浙江省嵊州市2021届5月高考科目适应性考试（二模）英语试题第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Parents Should Follow Kids' InterestsCWomen have put up with jibes(嘲笑) about their driving for decades. Now a report claims to have finally put an end to the debate ----with conclusive(确凿的) evidence that women really are better drivers than men.Men are four times more likely to end up in court for motoring crimes and twice as likely to make insurance claims, it reveals. This is reflected in the fact that men typically pay £92 a year more than women for their insurance.The average premium(保险费) for women is £701, with men paying £793, according to comparison website , which published the report.Official figures reveal that 585.000 drivers in England were taken to court last year for motoring offences. Just under eight in ten of those were men---outnumbering women by almost four to one. Some 23 percent of these offences were men caught speeding---- significantly higher than women at 7 percent. Men also outweighed women by five to one when it came todrink-driving offences and were twice as likely to be driving without either tax or insurance as women.And male drivers cost insurers more when it comes to claims payouts, suggesting they have been in more accidents than women. In 2017, two out of three insurance claims were made by men, of which 17 percent were fault claims. In comparison, only one in three claims last year came from women ----9 percent of which were at fault.And not only do men make more claims, but they tend to be a little more expensive. They claimed £3,271 per payout on average, while typical payouts for women were slightly cheaper at £3,121. This could be down to the fact that men often own more expensive cars, with an average value of £8,654. Women, however, are driving around in cars with a value of £7,090.8. How many women drivers were taken to court last year in England?A.585.000.B.468.000.C.117.000.D.351，000.9. How many times do men outweigh women as to drink-driving offences?A. Four times.B. Five times.C. Twice.D. Three times10. What can we learn about insurance claims according to the text?A. Insurers will pay more on male drivers.B. Female drivers made more accidents.C. Two thirds were made by femalesD. 17 percent of female claims were fault ones.11. Why do men drivers’ claims tend to be more expensive?A. Men often drink after driving.B. Women drive without tax.C. Men often own more expensive cars.D. Men often repair their cars using claims.DSleeping badly or working night shifts could be making you fat, weak and more likely to become diabetic. A study has revealed short or restless sleep changes the way people's DNA works and makes the body more dedicated to storing fat.Muscles get smaller and fat stores begin to rise when people lose as little as one night's sleep, the experts find. Although midnight snacks or being too tired to exercise could be blamed for tired people getting fatter, there may now be a more scientific reason. Researchers have linked losing sleep to weight gain in the past but have found it difficult to explain一now they reveal it could be linked to the body clock. And a tired body also becomes less able to handle sugar in the blood which raises the risk of someone developing type 2 diabetes（二型糖尿病）.Sleep researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden did a study on 15 people who they tested after a full night's sleep and after a sleepless night. They took fat and muscle tissue samples and collected blood from the healthy weight participants and found the way their DNA worked had changed. The researchers say their findings are important because high levels of body fat increase the risk of the world's biggest causes of death: cancer, heart diseases and strokes. People's sensitivity to blood sugar is also dampened when they're tired, which suggest those who don't sleep well are at higher risk of type 2 diabetes.“We saw that the (fatty) tissue is attempting to increase its capacity to store fat following sleep loss,” said Dr Cedernaes, "whereas we observed signs of breakdown of skeletal muscle. We also noted changes in levels of proteins involved handling blood glucose(葡萄糖), and this could help explain why the participants’ glucose sensitivity was impaired(伤害) following sleep loss.”Taken together, these observations may provide at least partial insight(了解) as to why chronic sleep loss and shift work can increase the risk of adverse weight gain as well as the risk oftype 2 diabetes.12. What's the new scientific reason for people's getting fatter?A. Midnight snacks.B. Lack of exercise.C. The body clock.D.The gene.13. Why do the researchers think their findings are important?A. Their research will make a great profitB. Too much body fat leads to deadly disease.C Their research will improve the quality of sleep.D. They can change the genes of the human body.14. What can b e learned from Dr.Cedernaes’s statement?A. Sleep loss increase muscle.B. Sleep loss increase glucose sensitivity.C. Sleep loss makes the tissue store less fat.D. Sleep loss may lead to type 2 diabetes.15. What’s the best title for the t ext?A. Sleeping Badly Will Make You FatB. Heart Disease and Sleep LossC. The Death Rate and Sleep LossD.

At least four people died in their search for the treasure.But it's all over now. Fenn's Treasure has been found. The 89-year-old adventurer named Forrest Fenn, who created the treasure hunt, announced the news via his website. “I don't know the person who found it, but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot,” Fenn wrote. “The treasure was confirmed by a photograph the lucky finder sent me.”Forrest Fenn, the man who started the hunt, lives in Santa Fe. He was a pilot in the Vietnam War and later accumulated his wealth as a dealer in art and antiques. Fenn was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer in 1988 and had planned to die peacefully in the woods with his treasure. But when his cancer became less serious, he changed his plan, eventually writing the poem that described his dream resting place, which is where he hid the treasure. The poem appeared in a memoir called The Thrill of the Chase. Fenn said that the chest wouldn't be found by accident; only a treasure hunter who correctly interpreted the clues(线索) would find it.Several treasure hunters went missing while attempting to find the chest, including hunter Jeff Murphy and Mike Petersen, both of whom went missing in Yellowstone National Park in 2017. Fenn said that he had never been to the Yellowstone National Park, and that the treasure was not in a dangerous place. "It was in thethick forest of the Rocky Mountains and had not been moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago," Fenn wrote on his website. It is illegal to remove anything from a national park, which would cause trouble in legally claiming the treasure if it was found there.4．What contributed to the finding of the treasure?A．Fenn's announcement. B．A poem in Fenn's book.C．Fenn’s vivid description.D．A photo on Fenn's website.5．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．Who Forrest Fenn was. B．Where Fenn hid the treasure.C．How the treasure hunt began. D．What Fenn did to find the treasure.6．What can we learn about "Fenn's Treasure”?A．It was in Yellowstone National Park.B．It was found by someone by chance.C．It was moved from one place to another.D．It was in Fenn's chosen resting place.7．What does the underlined word “claiming” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Taking. B．Burying. C．Protecting. D．Acknowledging.CNot buying things can be difficult, even when you're determined not to. For many people, a no-buy year is simply a way of life because their financial situation leaves them no other choice. But for others—myself included—we have enough clothes, shoes, electronic devices, books, and so on. Yet, we continue to buy.If you're going to try a no-buy year, the first step is identifying why you're doing it. Is it to save money? Pay off debt? Have more money for experiences? To be more sustainable? Without a goal, failure is likely. I say this based on my experience.Last year, I wanted to take my sons on vacation where I could afford the rental and good meals. So I set a goal. That goal was not to buy anything I didn't need. A month before we went, I realized I needed to do more.I decided that I wouldn't spend money going out socially. I eventually reached my goal.After vacation, I went back to my regular spending habits. But I wonder what would have happened if I'd maintained the stricter habits. There are many experiences I would love to have—concerts and music festivals are at the top of the list. Yet, I often buy little things—like $20 shoes instead of tickets to concerts. If I could forgo those little things, I would probably go to a lot more concerts.I think the no-buy movement is something that would bring us some happiness. Still, it's difficult. Eventhough we're surrounded by things, we manage to convince ourselves that none of those things are the “perfect” things for our immediate need.I'm going to set another goal right now. That goal is to go to a big music festival at the end of the summer. To get there, I promise I won't spend money on the things I don't really need. Nowadays, I encourage you to spend some time thinking about what your goals are and how about buying nothing—or at least buying a lot less—can help you reach them.8．Why did the author not continue her social activities?A．To pay off her debt. B．To accompany her sons.C．To realize her sons' goals. D．To save money for their vacation.9．What does the underlined word “forgo” mean in Paragraph 4?A．Quit. B．Afford.C．Maintain. D．Rent.10．What does the author think of the no-buy movement?A．It is beneficial but hard to carry out.B．It shows the true meaning of happiness.C．It finds fault with current spending habits.D．It gives way to big music festivals and musicals.11．What would the best title probably be?A．The No- Buy Movement Is PopularB．Could You Handle A No-Buy Year?C．Financial Situation Affects What We Can BuyD．Do What You Like Even If You May Meet TroubleDThe area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12, 2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home.But the ash didn't stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.“What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let's transform this into opportunity.”The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit.12．What has happened to Taal Volcano?A．It attracts more and more visitors. B．It becomes quieter and quieter.C．It is covered with ash completely. D．It causes bad effects on the locals.13．What are people advised to do according to Walfredo Dimaguila?A．To collect volcanic ash for recycling. B．To save sacks for factories to use.C．To set up a factory for making bricks. D．To build communities for people from disasters. 14．What can we infer from Dimaguila's words in Paragraph 3?A．Companies are expected to donate money.B．Bricks made of volcanic ash are popular.C．Batangas has been the most misfortune.D．Turning ash into bricks benefits the earth.15．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Taal Lake on Luzon Island is destroyed. B．Taal Volcano has enjoyed popularity.C．Disasters always hit the Philippines. D．The Filipino people turn ash into treasure.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
