高考英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共30.0分)AIn the future we might live somewhere other than Earth,like Mars.Some people ask how this will be possible.Well,Mars is in fact a lot the same as the earth.The days are almost the same as those on the earth.However,the two planets vary in temperature.Since there is mostly carbon dioxide on Mars,it would be quite difficult for a human to just land on it.So,special types of homes and space suits have to be designed.The space suits should be almost like the ones astronauts use now,and except that they have to be warmer so that the astronauts can survive the cold temperatures.The space suits must also be able to withstand(承受)high pressure and potentially dangerous radiation that can kill.The houses should be similar to our homes today with a slight difference.All of the houses and other buildings should be built inside a large dome(圆顶状物)or bubble.The domes should be made out of glass,and would also be able to prevent radiation from affecting the people inside.The domes will be connected to a machine (like plants which turn carbon dioxide into oxygen).With Mars' population growing,how would the people on its surface get fresh food and water?Just like humans use domes,they can also use domes to grow plants.However,the domes where the plants are grown must be built to expand.Once we upgrade the domes to a larger size then we can grow more food by cultivating(种植)more plants.To get the food or come in connect with other domes,there will be long narrow tunnels like roads that connect to each dome separating them by several doors so that the pressure in each dome can remain the same.On Mars,so many other things are available to us.As humans,we can have access to rare and fairly expensive metals that aren't very easy to get hold of on Earth,and a colony on Mars enhances(提高)our chances of finding these metals.So when someone here on Earth says that going to Mars is impossible,please tell them that they'll never know it until they try and they may try very soon.After all it's our future.Why not make it on Mars?1.It is difficult for humans to live on Mars because of all the following EXCEPT ______ .A. too much radiationB. cold temperatureC. lack of enough oxygenD. lack of houses2.One of the reasons why we are eager to explore Mars may be that ______ .A. we can find rare and expensive metals there easilyB. we'll get too bored to live on the earth in the futureC. our technology will become much advancedD. we want to know more about the unknown world3.What is the author's attitude towards living on Mars?______ .A. PessimisticB. UncertainC. OptimisticD. OpposedBjust an avatar(化身)that appears on the student's desktop,tablet or smartphone screen.Auckland energy company Vector and AI company Soul Machines have worked together to model after the human brain and nervous system,allowing it to show human-like behavior.The digital teacher is now teaching primary school students about renewable energy.Just like the humans it replaced,Will is able to instantly react to the students' responses to the topic.He also picks up facial expressions,body language of the students.For instance,if a student smiles at Will,he smiles back.The two-way interaction(互动)not only helps capture(捕捉)the students' attention,but also allows the program's developers to monitor their performance,and make changes if needed.Greg Cross,the Chief Business Officer of Soul Machines,says,"It's well-documented that STEM teachers are in short supply in New Zealand schools.By using digital teachers,we are able to provide access to education to kids and communities that might not have access to real teachers."Greg believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to have the attention of the next generation.He says,"The program,in place since August 2018,has been a great success thus far.However,regardless of its popularity,Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.For one thing,the avatar's knowledge base is severely limited.For another,even the smartest digital avatars could never react to all the unexpected situations that educators have to deal with on a daily basis."4.What do we know about Will?______A. He teaches college students in the classroom.B. He will replace human teachers in the future.C. He can deal with unexpected issues in class.D. He has human-like brain and nervous system.5.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?______A. The human brain.B. The nervous system.C. The digital teacher.D. The human-like robot.6.Why did Vector and Soul Machines create Will?______A. To monitor students' performance.B. To respond to the teacher shortage.C. To capture students' attention in class.D. To teach students renewable energy.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?______A. World-first Digital Teacher.B. Future of Energy Company.C. Development of AI Company.D. Shortage of Human Teachers.CLOS ANGELES,Nov.12 (Xinhua)-Legendary comic book writer Stan Lee has died at the age of 95,according to media reports on Monday.Lee,born in Stanley Lieber on Dec.28,1922,began his career in 1939 and joined the Marvel Comics in 1961.He is considered as one of the most legendary names in the history of comic books and the leading creative force behind the rise of Marvel Comics.He co-created iconic fictional characters such as Spider-Man,X-Men,the Avengers,and many more.Lee's characters often have super powers,but they also have weaknesses.They werecompetitor DC,which produced the seemingly perfect heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman.Those superheroes have been adapted into blockbuster films,most of which were made after Disney acquired Marvel in a 4-billion-dollar deal in 2009.In a statement,Bob Iger,chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company said Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created.Marvel also praised Lee on its website by putting on one of Lee's famous quotes,which goes,"I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers.And then I began to realize:entertainment is one of the most important things in people's lives.Without it,they might go off the deep end.I feel that if you're able to entertain,you're doing a good thing."Praise from his Hollywood peers and colleagues was generous.President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige appreciated Lee's unparalleled impact on the industry."No one has had more of an impact on my career than Stan Lee," Feige said."Our thoughts are with his family and the millions of fans who have been forever touched by Stan's genius,charisma and heart."8.How do Lee's characters differ from those of DC?______A. They are perfect heroes.B. They often have super powers.C. They are not humans,but gods.D. They have human shortcomings.9.We can learn from Lee's statement in Paragraph 6 that ______ .A. it is embarrassing to be a comic-book writerB. a taste of entertainment is necessary in people's livesC. entertainment is the most important thing in the worldD. you can do everything well if you are able to entertain10.According to the passage,we could know that ______ .A. Lee influenced Kevin Feige's career a lotB. Lee joined the Marvel Comics in his fortiesC. Lee created the fictional characters all by himselfD. The superheroes were adapted into films before Disney acquired Marvel11.What can be the best title for the passage?______A. Comics Legend-the Marvels and DCB. The Superheroes in Stan Lee's ComicsC. Marvel's Comics Legend Stan Lee Dies at 95D. The Life Story of Marvel Comics Legend Stan LeeDMaths and Music An excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician.Tell others you are also a musician,however,and they will be hooked.Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity,there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in.I'm partly referring here to the "Mozart effect",where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent,including at maths,than other children.It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular:we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort.But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest.If you want your brain to work better,you clearly have to put in hard work.As for learning to play the piano,it also takes effort.general that helps you with the other.If this is correct,it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability.It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis.To become better at one,you need to improve your fitness and coordination(协调).That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other.Abstract structures don't exist only in maths and music.If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar.Yet we don't hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic(语言的)ability.Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical,so it wouldn't be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar.Music,however,is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it.As such,it seems different from maths,so there wouldn't be any connection between the two.Let's see how we solve problems of the "A is to B as C is to D" kind.These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths.Consider the opening of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik(小夜曲).The second phrase(小节)is a clear answer to the first.The listener thinks:"The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord (和弦);what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7?" Music is full of puzzles like this.If you are good at them,expectations will constantly be set up in your mind.The best moments surprise you by being unexpected,but we need the expectations in the first place.12.What does the author say about "Mozart effect"?______A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about.B. The findings from it gave people wrong information.C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected.D. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective.13.The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3 to show that ______ .A. football and tennis are played in a similar way.B. certain skills may be developed through practice.C. music and maths have something in common.D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields.14.We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ______ .A. language seems more like maths than music does.B. language is less appealing to learners.C. mathematicians are good at music learning.D. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music.15.What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph?______A. How music differs from maths.B. Why musicians possess mathematical abilities.C. Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians.D. How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)The modern competitive sport of weightlifting originated in 19th-century Europe and was included in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.(1) At that time,simple competitions were held to see who could lift the heaviest weight.The first worldwide weightlifting championships were held in London in 1891.At that time,there were no female competitors.Today,the World Weightlifting Championships,organized by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF),are held every year.(2) .Olympics again in 1904,this time as part of the athletics program.Not until 1920 did weightlifting make its real Olympic comeback.The 1920 Olympic Games,held in Antwerp,Belgium,marked weightlifting's debut(首次露面)as a separate event.(4) Previously,weightlifters in the Olympics were all required to compete against each other,regardless of their size.One-hand lifting was dropped from the sport in 1928.Various weightlifting exercises were added and later removed over many years until 1972.(5) The 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney saw the introduction of the women's competition,although the IWF has held the World Weightlifting Championships for women since 1987.A.The 1940 and 1944 Games were canceled.B.It is a sport in which barbells are lifted competitively.C.The 1900 Games had no weightlifting presence at all.D.The championships include 15 separate weight types for both men and women.E.The 1972 Olympic Games finally presented the weightlifting program in its present form.F.The sport,however,dates back to ancient civilizations including China,Egypt and Greece.G.The Antwerp Games also introduced one-hand lifting and weight divisions to the new event.16.

The study. (22)_________ has yet to be published in a scientific Journal, adds another dimension to scientists(23)________ (grow)understanding of how plants detect and interact with their surroundings.In recent years, it has become very clear that plants are more sensitive than researchers (24)_________ (think). They respond when touched by insects and turn toward sources of light. “Plants are not just robotic stimulus-response devices,” said Frantisek Baluska of the University of Bonn in Germany. “They’re living organisms which have their own problems.”Actually making their suffering hearable, however, is another matter entirely.(25)________(test) that possibility, a team led by Itzhak Khait, a plant scientist at Tel Aviv University in Israel, placed microphones capable of detecting ultrasonic frequencies(超声波频率) four inches from tomato and tobacco plants. The researcher then either stopped watering them or cut their stems.Measuring in the range of 20 to 150 kilohertz (千赫) the researchers found that even happy healthy plants madethe occasional noise. But when cut, tobacco plants emitted (26)_________average of 15 sounds within an hour of being cut, (27)_________tomato plants produced 25 sounds.(28)_______researchers aren’t yet sure how plants produce these sounds, Khait and his colleagues proposed one possibility in their paper (29)____________as water travels through the plants' tubes, air bubbles will form and explode, producing small vibrations.All this “screaming” caused by stress wasn’t in a range detectable by human ears. But organisms that can hear ultrasonic frequencies like mice, bats or perhaps other plants (30)________possibly hear the plants cries from as far away as 15 feet.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Italians find “Moments of Joy in this Moment of Anxiety”It started with the national anthem. Then came the piano chords, trumpet blasts, violin serenades(小夜曲) and even the clanging of pots and pans--all of it (31)_________from people’s homes, out of windows and from balconies, and resounding across rooftops.Finally, on Saturday afternoon, a nationwide (32)__________of applause broke out for the doctors on the medical front lines fighting the spread of Europe’s worst coronavirus outbreak.Italians remain (33)_________under house arrest as the nation, the European front in the global fight against the coronavirus, has ordered extraordinary restrictions on their movement to prevent infection.But the music and noise erupting over the streets, from people (34)_________in their homes, reflects the spirit, resilience and humor of a nation facing its worst national emergency since the Second World War.To the extent that this is a virus that tries people' s souls, it has also demonstrated the (35)__________of those national characters.In China, patriotic truck drivers risked infection to bring(36)_________needed food to the people of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak. In Iran, videos show doctors in full combat dress and masks dancing to keep (37)_______up. And in Italy, the gestures of gratitude and music ring out above the country’s empty streets, while social media feeds fill with (38)___________, sentimental and humorous web videos.Images of nurses collapsed from exhaustion or their faces bruised(使受瘀伤) from tightly(39)________maskshave also spread across the web in recent days. Parents posted pictures of unicorns and rainbows drawn by young children with the title “It will all be OK.”“We’re Italians, and loving singing is part of our culture,” said Giorgio Albertini, 51, an archaeology professor who clapped from his apartment balcony in the university district of Milan, calling it a way “to feel a community, and to have the (40)_________grief.”Ⅲ Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Making choices is hard. That would be why researcher Moran Cerf has (41)_________it from his life. As a rule, he always chooses the second menu item at a restaurant.This is (42)___________by his research in neuroeconomics(神经经济学)( a somewhat new, divisive field) at Northwestern University. As Business Insider describes, Cerf has extended his ideas which draw on some controversial ideas in psychology, including ego depletion out into a piece of advice that, to (43)_________happiness, people should "build a life that requires (44)________decisions by surrounding themselves with people who possess traits they prefer.On an instinctive level, Cerf’s idea (45)_____________: Many choices people make are the product of social pressures and the inputs of (46)___________people around them. One example Cerf furnishes is that, (47)________consistently ordering the second menu item. he never picks where to eat. Rather, he (48)________his decision to his dining partner which friend he plans to eat with, probably one he trusts and always lets them pick.While it's (49)__________what, if any, scientific principles underlie those pieces of advice, there is no shortage of research showing that choices can sometimes feel more(50)_______than liberating. An example from Quanta poits (假设): If you have a clear love of Snickers(士力架), choosing that over an Almond Joy(杏仁巧克力) or a Milky Way(牛奶巧克力) should be a(51)________. And, as an experiment conducted by neuroscientist Paul Glimcher at NYU shows, most of the time it is, (52)_________you introduce more choices. When the participants were offered three candy bars (Snickers, Milky Way, and Almond Joy) they had no problem picking their favorite, but when they were given the option of one among 20, including Snickers, they would sometimes drift away from their (53)_____. When the choices were taken away in later trials. the participants would wonder what caused them to make such a bad decision.As Quanta details, according to a model called" 'divisive normalization(分裂归一化), which has gained some popularity, the way the brain encodes choices has a lot to do with how it values all its options. So, if you have twothings that are clearly (54)___________, brain areas involved in decision-making fire in a pattern that makes the decision clear. When the choices are comparable. the brain does its best to focus on the distinctions between the two, but more choices (55)_________ that ability out.41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One spring day, once the flowers have begun to open, a bee will hover (盘旋)and zip through your yard and dive-bomb your picnic table. While you're thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely: me.A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home. stick her long. straw like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill. she’ll fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb. Then she and her 50.000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the waterfrom the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4,000 flowers, and yet will produce only one-twelfth a tea spoon of me.The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally I never go bad.Unfortunately, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. I’d appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild. My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much to you, to me without ever asking for anything in return.56. What does “me” refer to in the passage?A. The flower.B. The bee.C. Water. D Honey.57. What is the 2nd paragraph mainly about?A. Bees’ special talent.B. Bees’ hard work.C. Bees’ living environment.D. Bees’ social behavior.58. Which one of the following is true according to the passage?A. A bee will always prioritize attacking picnic lovers.B. Before “me” is sealed off in beeswax, the drying process can take a few nights.C. The lifework of a bee satisfies the average demand of an American consumer annually.D. Bees are more likely to visit those deliberately pest-controlled gardens59. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal for help for honeybees.B. To talk about the history of a treasure.C. To put forward techniques for gardeners.D. To argue against the control of chemicals.(B)Get Your Unlimited Card at Cineworld CinemasEnjoy Unlimited FilmsWatch all the films you want at any Cineworld for just one monthly price.Being an Unlimited card holder gives you access to all the 2D films you canhandle for one monthly price.

If it extends further south overpopulated areas, such as southern Greenland, people would be at increased risk of sunburn. However, on current trends the hole is expected to disappear altogether in a few weeks.Low temperatures in the northern polar regions led to an unusual stable polar vortex(极地漩涡) and the presence of ozone-destroying chemicals such as chlorine(氯)in the atmosphere-from human activities caused the hole to form.“The hole is principally a geophysical curiosity.” said Vincent-Henri Peuch, director of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. “We monitored unusual dynamic(动态的)conditions, which drive the process of chemical depletion of ozone. Those dynamics allowed for lower temperatures and a more stable vortex than usual over the Arctic, which then triggered the formation of polar stratospheric(平流层的)clouds and the catalytic(催化的) destruction of ozone.”The hole is not related to the Covid-19 shutdowns that have dramatically cut air pollution and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. It is also too early to say whether the unusually stable Arctic polar vortex conditions are linked with the climate crisis, or part of normal stratospheric weather variability.Peuch said there were no direct implications for the climate crisis. Temperatures in the region are already increasing, slowing the depletion of ozone, and the hole will start to recover as polar air mixes with ozone rich air from lower latitudes. The last time similar conditions were observed was in spring 2011.While a hole over the Arctic is a rare event, the much larger hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic has been a major cause for concern for more than four decades. The production of ozone depleting chemicals has been dramatically reduced, under the1987 Montreal Protocol(蒙特利尔协议), but some sources appear still to be functioning in 2018unauthorized emissions were detected from some areas.New sources of ozone depleting chemicals were not a factor in the hole observed in the Arctic, said Peuch. “However, this is a reminder that one should not take the Montreal Protocol measures for granted and that observations from the ground and from satellites are central to avoid a situation where the ozone destroying chemical level in the stratosphere could increase again.”63. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “depletion”?A. replacement.B. consumption.C. increase.D. production.64. According to the passage, scientists are concerned about the hole because____________.A. it is expected to be a threat to the mankind.B. the new hole is caused by air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.C. it may encourage further scientific research and environmental awareness.D. it wars us of an oncoming climate crisis.65. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?A. The hole over the Arctic shares the same causes as the one over the Antarctic.B. Human activities are highly responsible for producing ozone-destroying chemicals.C. The Montreal Protocol has successfully prevented new emissions.D. Some new illegal emissions are to blame for the hole over the Arctic.66. The best title for the passage is probably_________.A. Record-size Hole Opens in Ozone Layer above the Arctic.B Actions Urgently Needed for a New Hole in Ozone Layer.C Environmental Disaster and International Cooperation.D. How a Hole in Ozone Affects our Life on Earth.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.People like to post their selfies(自拍照)on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behaviors connected to narcissism, the researchers said. (67)_________Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University. said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.(68)_________Some people feel “peer pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience. it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. (69)_______Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. (70)__________On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos even if they click “like”.TV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage, Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.It's natural to feel the need to control something when everything around you feels out of control, and you feel helpless. When a friend of mine first heard about the coronavirus outbreak. she got down on her hand. and knees and cleaned her kitchen floor. She told me, “My floor wasn’t even dirty, but doing something constructive made me feel in control and that I was holding on to my power, despite the desperate circumstances.”Your most powerful weapon against uncertainty is your perspective because nobody and no situation can take that from you unless you give it away. Your perspective can victimize or empower you. When you look for the upside in a downside situation and figure out what you can control and what you can't, it's easier to accept whatever is beyond your control.高三英语调研测试(试卷参考答案)I Listening ComprehensionSection A1-5 BDBCB6-10 CBCCDSection B11-13 AAC14-16 BAD17-20 ACDCII.

To her disappointment, however, it did not turn out that way later. As soon as they were led to their seats and she began to order dishes, he buried himself in his mobile phone.“It seemed that his phone was making its way between us. A date that should have belonged to us turned into one where my boyfriend dated a third party and I felt left out.” Gao said. some people, like her, have found that electronics have been sabotaging (破坏) their romantic relationships.A study, published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture in April 2020, questioned nearly 200 college aged adults who were in committed relationships to report on their and their partner’s smartphone dependency. The results showed people who were more dependent on their phones were less sure abouttheir relationships, and people who considered their partners excessively (过度地) dependent on their devices were less satisfied in their relationship.Lin Yuan, a relationship advisor in Beijing, noted that as more and more electronics come out and spice up people’s lives, they are at the same time becoming a third party in relationships, especially for young people.Lin said she knew of some people who suggest that electronics should be kept out of bedrooms, which she considered challenging and hard to be put into practice for most couples. She recommended that if people are feeling neglected in their relationship, they need to respectfully let their partners know their feeling. “Communication is always the best and the most efficient way,” she said.24. What is Gao’s feeling when entering the restaurant with her boyfriend?A. Disappointed.B. Expectant.C. Annoyed.D. Uneasy.25. Which of the following may Lin Yuan agree with?A. Gao’s boyfriend is addicted to playing games.B. Most couples can keepelectronics out of bedrooms.C. Partners should communicate more to understand each other better.D. Couples should stop using electronics to avoid the problem mentioned above.26. Why was the case of Amanda Gao mentioned?A. To explain who the “third party” is.B. To stress the importance of electronic devices.C. To encourage advisors to talk about the case.D. To introduce the phenomena of excessively depending on electronics.27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Are devices killing romance?B. How to beat smartphoneC. The romantic story of Miss GaoD. The relationship between man and smart phoneCAustralia is a developed country and the future of its solar industry is looking bright after a record 3.5m panels (嵌板) were installed on rooftops last year, giving the equal output of a medium-sized coal-fired power station. Therecord 1,057 MW of capacity (生产能力) in small-scale systems installed across the country broke the previous record set in 2020, figures from the Clean Energy Regulator showed on Tuesday.Australia’s solar power prosperity could almost double capacity in a year. The data also revealed that the average system size has also doubled since then from three to six kilowatts as average prices continued to fall. A fully installed 5KW system costs an average of $5,930 in Australia, according to the energy broker Solarchoice. net. au. Its records show that the price has roughly halved in many capital cities since 2020.The regulator’s executive general manager, Mark Williamson, said there was increasing interest in renewals as a way to take control of electricity bills. But more importantly, he said it was also good news for reducing carbon emissions.“We are seeing a wide cross-section of Australians-households, community centers, schools, and small businesses-receiving rewards under the small-scale renewable energy scheme,”Williamson said. “Our data shows consumers are embracing renewable energy to take control of their electricity bills.”In 2020, there was a 41% increase in installing renewable energy capacity across all states and territories compared to 2020. Queensland led the way with installed capacity at 295MW, with the Australian Capital Territory taking top place for the biggest annual increase by 57%. “The data collected by the Clean Energy Regulator in 2020 reflects the industry is going from strength to strength. It looks like 2020 will be another big year for the solar industry.”The total of installed capacity for last year is expected to rise to 1,070MW when all the data is collected.A large coal-fired power station such as Loyd Yang A in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley hasa capacity of 2,200MW.28. What do we know about the Australia’s solar industry from the first paragraph?A. It’s still risky.B. It’s promising.C. It’s unpredictable.D. It’s within expectation.29. What’s the reason for the Australia’s solar industry’s development?A. The entire decrease of the carbon emissions.B. The autonomous control of the electricity bills.C. The doubt about the capacity of coal-fired power station.D. The continuous fall of the average price of installinga solar energy system.30. What does the underlined phrase “from strength to strength” in Paragraph 5 suggest?A. Australia’s solar industry is being accepted.B. Australia’s solar industry is developing rapidly.C. Australia’s solar industry is more practical than before.D. Australia’s solar industry is more advanced than other countries.31. What is the biggest feature of the renewable energy according to Mark Williamson?A. Reducing pollution.B. Providing enough energy.C. Lowering electricity bills.D. Simplifying installed equipment.DWhen we go out traveling, we need either a map or GPS to point us in the right direction. But bumblebees(大黄蜂)have neither of these things, yet they still know the best route. Why is that?It turns out that these hard-working little bees try many possible passages before picking out the best one and remembering it the next time they journey out. They learn from “trial and error”,according to a study by scientists from the University of London.We use it all the time in our daily lives —trial and error is a helpful problem-solving method. It is the basic concept of “learning from your mistakes”. Most of the t ime, we fail on our first try, so we analyze the failure, make adjustments and try again. After repeating this a few times, we finally get things right.This might sound a bit tiring, but it’s certainly effective and it works for bumblebees.In the study, scientists set up five artificial flowers in a field. Each one of them was fitted with motion-triggered (运动触发的)cameras and had landing platforms withdrops of sugar in the middle to attract the bees.At first, scientists noticed the bees’ flying routes were long and complex. But after they gained enough experience, they gradually got to their destination quicker. Every time a bee tried a new route that was shorter than the route it had tried before, it was likely to use it again. Otherwise the new route would simply be given up and another one was tested.“The speed at which they learn through trial and error is quite extraordinary for bumblebees, as this complex behavior was thought to be one that only larger-brained animals have,” Professor Lars Chittka, leader of the study, told .In fact, the smart bumblebees don’t try every possible route. Normally, they would only try about 20 out of the 120 possible routes to visit the flowers.More interestingly, scientists found that if they removed a flower, bees would continue looking at that location, even if it has been empty for a long time. “It seems bees don’t easily forget a fruitful flower,”Chittka said.32. The bumblebees are good at finding the best route because ________.A. they have relatively smaller brainsB. their body parts function like GPSC. they try out different routes and remember the best onesD. they take the trouble of testing every possible route33. The author explains the bumblebees’ behavior of trial and error by ________.A. using numbersB. making a metaphor(比喻)C. making comparisonsD. talking about human behavior34. The study led by professor Lars Chittka suggests that ________.A. bumblebees try to keep their flying routes long and complexB. every new route the bumblebees take is shorter than the one they take beforeC. bumblebees are familiar with every flying route they have taken beforeD. scientists find it unbelievable that bumblebees learn from their mistakes so quickly35. What is the main point of the article?A. Bumblebees are as smart as large-brained animals.B. Trial and error is an effective way to solve our daily problems.C. A new discovery about how bumblebees find the best routes through trial and error.D. How bumblebees remember the best routes, small as their brains are.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。
