Royal Botanic Gardens VictoriaB. St Kilda Esplanade MarketC. Melbourne Star Observation WheelD. Puffing Billy RailwayBWhen I was first married to my wife, I lived and worked in Ontario, moving from small town to big city as I pursued my career as a radio broadcaster. We have two sons, both of whom were born in Toronto, but they moved, with us, to Ottawa when they were quite young. They grew up there, and then, chasing their own careers, they also moved. One went to Canada's east coast near a city called Halifax and the other headed to the west coast to Vancouver. We had a dilemma; we were left in the middle.At the time I was still working and my job was in Ottawa. However, as we began to consider retirement we wondered where we should spend our final years. We couldn't be close to both of our children and there was no telling when they might again relocate. For several reasons we settled on a small town on Vancouver Island. At least we were close to one of them. However, he had his sights set on Hollywood and, when an opportunity presented itself, he left Canada and headed south. I helped him move.So, there we were, and still are, in our little west coast town. We love our little corner of paradise but we have paid a price. We have not been there for some important events such as the births of two of our grandchildren. We have missed watching each of them grow up; we have missed the normal, noisy households that have young people in them. Our home, while very comfortable, is also very quiet.Every fall we travel to see the children. We usually fly, first to California to see our son Scott and spend a week or more with him trying to catch up on everything we've missed. Then, usually in November, we make the even longer trip east across Canada to see Travis and our grandchildren, who are now teenagers, actually into their twenties. They seldom come to visit us. The distances are just too great and it is costly.Fortunately, both our boys are doing well and our grandchildren are growing up straight and tall. We love all of them and we are secure in the knowledge that they love us but the reality is that they don't need us. We have done our jobs and, at least in theory, we can sit back, relaxand enjoy the time remaining to us. They have also missed having a set of parents and grandparents around.Life has been good for our family but we have all paid a price.24. What's the dilemma ( Pa. 1) to the author and his wife?A. The situation where they were not happy about their sons'absence.B. The fact that they were unwilling to separate from their sons.C. The fact that they were not yet prepared for retirement at that time.D. The situation where they couldn't decide which son to live with.25. The reason why the author says they have paid a price is that ______ .A. they have lost lots of money because of his retirementB. they have to pay a large sum of money to their sonsC. they have been absent from their children's lifeD. they have to afford very expensive fare to visit their sons26. Why do not the authors grandchildren visit them regularly?A. They are quite occupied with their homework.B. It's not easy for the kids to visit their grandparents.C. They don't need their grandparents any more.D. The weather of winter in Canada is very awful.27. What is the best title for the text?A. A Price to PayB. Suffering SeparationC. Love ActuallyD. Hidden EmotionsCMany people believe that there is one form of their language that is more correct than others.They may believe for example that British English is more correct than other varieties; or that written English is more correct than spoken English ；or that standard spoken forms are more correct than dialect forms. Often this belief is supported by reference books to grammars, usage guides or dictionaries:if something goes against a rulein a grammar, or if the word isn't in the dictionary, it " must be wrong”. Since th e reference books are most often based on observation of the standard written language ( and not by a grammar book in the sky) , the argument is really circular: these books will naturally describe standard usage, because that is what they are for；but this does not mean that there is anything wrong with other kinds of usage that are less often described.A better way of looking at things is to say that usage is " correct in its place". Standard American English is correct in America, British English is correct in Britain, spoken grammar is accepted in casual speech, and formal written grammar is employed in formal writing. The onlyforms that are wrong in all contexts （语境）are learners' errors. For example: I have forgetting the your address, or One of your chairs are broken. This means there is no answer to the question: " What kind of English should learners study?” It depends on their purposes. For many learners, the best model is one or other of the two main standard varieties : British or American English. Neither of these is "better” than the other, and they are both used and understood worldwide.People are also worried by language change. If younger people " break"the rules that older people have learnt, or use language in new ways, older people often feel disturbed: they are concerned that younger people no longer know their grammar, and that the language is going downhill. This is a needless worry: change is natural and inevitable, it cannot be stopped, and it does not generally affect a languages efficiency as a communicative tool. A great deal of modem English grammar would have been wrong three hundred years ago, and will perhaps be wrong again three hundred years from now.28. Why does the author think “the argument is really circular"（Pa. 1）?A. Learners are always confused by the reference books.B. Usages not mentioned in the reference books are not necessarily wrong.C. Nobody can challenge the authority of the reference books.D. Some wrong usages can be found in the reference books.29. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. There is no "standard English”.B. American English is better than British English.C. A learner should master all the distinctions of different English.D. The differences between British English and American English.30. The underlined word （Pa. 3 ）can be most probably replaced with _.A. unbelievableB. uncountableC. unacceptableD. unavoidable31. What is the authors attitude towards the changes of English?A. Disturbed.B. Cautious.C. Optimistic.D. Aggressive.DSome creative people see colours when they hear different sounds. Others see colours when they see words and numbers printed in black and white. These interesting people are called synaesthetes, and what they experience is called synaesthesia.①.A study at the University of Sussex is finding out how learning to see sounds as colours or think of letters in colour could improve your IQ and memory.Study leaders Dr Daniel Bor and Dr Nicolas Rothen have been working on memory for a number of years. They want to see which parts of the brain do different jobs. Dr Bor says thatcarrying out these tests has given them the opportunity to find out more about how we use different kinds of memory.②.He explains that Professor Simon Baron Cohen, of the University of Cambridge, was largely responsible for beginning the modem science of synaesthesia in the 1980s. 'His tests showed that synaesthesia was real, and this made lots of scientists in different places want to do similar research.'Information chunkingDr Bor based his latest research around something scientists already know a lot about —'chunking' . He explains that this is a way of breaking large pieces of information into smaller units, to make it easier to remember, 'When I give you my phone number, 01274737215, you probably remember it as 012 74 73 72 15 , or something similar. If you can remember 012 and the first 74, you can remember the rest. You can get some amazing benefits from chunking.'This is really important for understanding synaesthesia. Dr Bor says that synaesthesia adds extra information to things that are difficult to remember, such as letters and numbers, or extra colours. This helps us remember things better.③.'All these signs are pointing towards synaesthesia being connected to greater abilities to do certain things, certain jobs,' says Dr Bor. 'So, the study began as a way to test that.' They developed the study from an idea by Dr Nicolas Rothen who had trained people for ten minutes a day for a week. The results were not huge, but they were interesting. They used those ideas in the study and they did see strong benefits.④.They discovered that, after training, people were able to pass the normal synaesthesia tests, and their IQ jumped up about 12 points!As Dr Bor says, 'Synaesthetes are really pleased and proud that they get a memory advantage and they see the world in this extra special way.'32. The proper title of each part for the passage should be _____ .a. Amazing resultsb. The beginning of asciencec. Training in Synaesthesiad. Studying memoryA.①-d ②-b ③-c ④-dB.①-d ②-c ③-d ④-bC.①-b ②-d ③-d ④-cD.①-b ②-d ③-c ④-d33. What role did Professor Cohen play in the study of synaesthesia?A. Finding out the secret of memory.B. Offering guidance on how to improve memory.C. Inspiring other scientists in the same field.D. Setting up a branch to study synaesthesia.34. According to the passage, what is "chunking"?A. Using high-technologies to improve our memory.B. Linking something to other things which are similar.C. Employing smart methods to progress our study.D. Dividing large amounts of information into smaller ones.35. As Dr Bor says, by conducting the tests they will know better about ______ .A. soundsB. memoryC. IQD. colours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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

2020届四川省绵阳市高三4月线上学习评估英语试题一、阅读选择1. UNIQUE AND WEIRD NEW YEAR EVE TRADITIONSGermanyIn some parts of Germany, they do bleigiessen, or lead （铅）pouring. Pour a dollop（团）of molten lead in cold water and whatever shape forms may be telling about the year to come.A heart shape, naturally, means love will come your way. A crown predicts wealth and fortune. A star indicates happiness. But if you see a cross in the lead? You're as good as dead! Latin AmericaIf you're in Latin America, make sure you have some colorful underpants to ring in the new year. End — of — the — year partiers put on colorful underwear to ensure certain types of outcomes for the following year. Red for love and yellow for success.Naples, ItalyNeapolitans like throwing things out of windows, at least on New Year's Eve. Furniture, kitchen machines, grandma. Well, maybe not the last one. Let's hope not, anyway. This tradition is meant to symbolize an out — with — the — old gesture and getting a brand new beginning for the new year. These days people are a bit more mindful about what they toss down to the street below.SpainIn 1909, winegrowers in the Alicante region of Spain had a brilliant idea: start and promote an annual tradition that would involve people having to buy and eat more grapes. One must cat 12 grapes on New Year's Eve to encourage prosperity for the coining year. Now, it's u popular custom in Iberia. But the problem is that one has to cat a grape for each bell strike at midnight.（1）What does a cross shape mean?A Love.B Wealth.C Happiness.D Misfortune.（2）What's new about Neapolitans' tradition?A They hate using furniture.B They throw their grandma out of windows.C They are more careful about what to throw.D They like making gestures in front of the window.（3）Which country has the tradition of eating grapes?A Germany.B Brazil.C Italy.D Spain.2. Russ Fee was asleep inside his tent last summer in Canada's Banff National Park when a series of screams shocked him awake. Throwing on his shoes and grabbing a lantern his wife had handed him, he ran out to investigate. Despite the darkness, he could make out a neighboring tent. Backing out was a wolf, dragging something in his teeth—a man.Moments earlier, Elisa and Matt, were asleep with their two young children when the wolf tore into their tent. "It was like something out of a horror movie," Elisa recalled. For three minutes, Matt threw his body in front of Elisa and the boys and fought against the wolf. At one point, Matt got the upper hand, but the wolf turned the tables and dragged Matt outside while Elisa was pulling on his legs trying to get him back.It was then that Russ Fee entered the picture. He ran at the beast, kicking it in the hip. The wolf dropped Matt and emerged from the tent. Fee felt like he had hit someone that was way out of his weight class.Before the wolf could turn its anger on Fee, Matt, his arms bloodied, restarted the battle. The men threw at the wolf with rocks, forcing it back. Then the families fled to the shelter of the Fees, minivan and called an ambulance."Attacks are so rare that a person here has a greater chance of being killed by a dog, lightning, a bee sting, or a car collision with a deer than being injured by a wolf" said Matt. Fee did think about drawing back, if less heroic, during the heat of battle. The moment the wolf locked eyes with him, Fee said, "I immediately regretted kicking it."（1）What were the two families doing in the park?A They were making a horror movie.B They were camping in the wild.C They were studying wolves.D They were investigating the park.（2）How did Matt escape from the wolf?A By Fee's kicking the wolf from behind.B By turning the table on the wolf.C By placing his hand tightly on the wolf.D By his wife's pulling his legs.（3）What can be inferred from Paragraph 5?A Many deer are killed by vehicles.B Dogs are people's friends in need.C Wolves seldom attack people there.D People are often attacked by wolves.（4）Which word can best describe Fee in the story?A Brave.B Responsible.C Indifferent.D Clever.3. If you're one of the millions of those who use escalators each year, you are probably deeply familiar with the vertical grooves（竖凹槽）that cover each stair. Few of us have stopped to consider why they exist, though. In fact, it's one of the everyday things we take for granted.But it is a little complicating when you think about it. Sure, the deep, grey lines make an escalator's metal stairs more appealing to the eye. But regular stairs don't have grooves like these; why do escalators need them? Is it because of the movement?It turns out those grooves serve a more functional purpose. And, yes, it does have to do with the movement, as well as with general cleanliness! Anyone who has ridden an escalator knows that the steps everlastingly circulate from the top to the bottom. You've surely noticed the ridged yellow lip at the top of the escalator. But here's what you may not have noticed: As an escalator's steps flatten, this ridge—also called the comb plate—sweeps away any trash or litter that might have fallen on the stairs. Those grooves lock the step and comb platetogether, which makes it harder for any dangerous materials to slide underneath the lip. This prevents foreign objects from getting stuck in that gap, potentially causing the escalator to stop, or worse, break down completely.That's not the only reason why the grooves were created, though. They are also a good place for water to pool together, protecting you from a bad fall on the slick surface.So the next time you step on an escalator, take a moment to appreciate those metal grooves. They exist to make sure you get to your office meeting on time.（1）What are the first two paragraphs trying to say?A Millions of people use escalators every year.B Few people think much about the grooves.C Escalators are complicated machines.D Grooves make the stairs look better.（2）The ridge is mainly designed to____A clean off dangerous objects.B keep the stairs in movement.C flatten thesteps. D lock the steps.（3）What does the underlined word "slick” mean in Paragraph 4?A Smooth.B Sticky.C Steep.D Slippery.（4）What's the passage mainly about?A The importance of escalators.B The reasons for grooves on stairs.C The look of grooves in escalators.D The safe ways of riding escalators.4. Over a million children have developed some form of intellectual （智力） disability over the past two decades after being exposed to chemicals including flame retardants, pesticides, lead, and mercury, a study has revealed.The study focused on the four chemicals, which can be crossed from a mother to her unborn baby through the placenta（胎盘）and cause neurodevelopmental damage. The researchers looked at data from past studies, including blood samples taken from women of childbearing age and 5-year-olds.Over the period, flame retardants, resulted in 738,860 cases of intellectual disability and an estimated 162 million lost IQ （智商）points, followed by lead at 330,684 cases, pesticides at 111,830, and mercury at 8,860. In recent years, pesticides and flame retardants have overtaken lead and mercury as the chemicals responsible for the biggest loss of IQ among children.The researchers believe this is due to regulations cutting down the use of these chemicals. For instance, lead has been banned from gasoline, paint and drinking water systems in the U.S. and plants are not allowed to pump out mercury.The researchers acknowledged limitations to their study, including that the exposure-response relationships might not relate to all populations. Positively, they found a huge drop in the estimated loss of IQ points among children.Lead researcher Abigail Gaylord, commented: "Our findings suggest that our efforts to reduce exposure to heavy metals are paying off, but that harmful exposures in general continue to represent a terrible risk to people's physical, mental, and economic health. "Unfortunately, the minimal policies in place to remove pesticides and flame retardants areclearly not enough," she said.She also added. Frequently opening windows to let persistent chemicals found infurniture electronics, and carpeting escape, and eating certified organic produce can educe exposure to these harmful things"（1）Which contributes most to the loss of children's IQ?A Flame retardants.B Pesticide.C Lead.D Mercury.（2）Where does the passage probably come from?A A school report.B A science fiction.C A scientific research.D A chemistry book.（3）What is the drawback of the research mentioned?A It has received bad response from all populations.B It has no previous information to refer to.C It covers only part of the population.D It is not supported by government policies.（4）What's the best title for this passage?A Four chemicals harming children.B Regulations cutting down the use of heavy metals.C Environment risking people's physical and mental health.D Children IQ lowered by exposure to harmful chemicals.二、七选五5.

This time, it is eager to show its responsiveness. The organization took the rare step in spite of a lack of strong evidence ______22 ______Zika is directly responsible for microcephaly.

Theresearch_______41_______four different groups or segments of U.S.-bound international students based on their academic preparedness and financial resources: Strivers, Strugglers, Explorers and Highfliers.With the growth of transnational education models, including validation of degrees, franchise programs, online degrees, branch campuses and now MOOCs, these four groups of international students may be further _______42_______ by two primary subgroups: “global” and “ glocal.”“Global” students comprise Highfliers and Strugglers, who willnot_______43_______ the value of studying abroad, due to their strong desire for achievement or emigration, respectively. Thus, _______44_______destinations like the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia will continue to attract this segment. Alternative pathways to foreign education through transnational education will not be appealing to “global ” students.In contrast, “ glocal” students comprise Explorers and Strivers who have the_______45_______ to study abroad in popular destinations like the U.S., the U.K. or Australia, but cannot due to their low academic or financial resources respectively.These students are_______46_______to other forms of engaging with transnational education. “Glocal” students are different from “ global” ones, as they wouldlike to earn the social prestige and career_______47_______offered by foreign education without having to go very far from home.Both “glocal” and “ global” segments will grow in the medium term, but the “glocal” one is expected to grow at a 48 pace due to a greedy appetite for foreign education, and expanding middle-class in emerging economies ,and technological innovation.On the other hand, the “global” segment will grow at a slower pace due to a shift in institutional_______49_______ or self-funded students at undergraduate level and the increasing cost and competition for recruiting international students.Transnational educational models also face several growth problems, including qualitative challenges_______50_______from credentials issues with MOOCs to regulatory and funding complexity with branch campuses, which may _______51_______ influence the expectations of “glocal” students and therefore growth.Of course, not all international students can be boxed into this framework.

The success of these shows is a clear indication of the strong appeal of the cookery experience to people. Whether it's recipe instructions, review of a restaurant or coverage （专访）of a chef, people are hungry to find out more about the food they eat.One of the latest entries among the food programs is the Emmy-nominated Award Netflix series, Chef's Table, which features more than just ways to prepare fine food. Viewers tune in to each episode （一集）to hear a personal story from a distinguished chef. Each chef's tale is heart-touching with their own unique life experience. Take American chef Grant Achatz for example. The journey to operating one of the highest ranked restaurants in North America took a very personal turn. In 2007, Achatz was diagnosed with mouth cancer and lost his sense of taste. Amazingly, he regained it, and has gone on to pioneer a new "progressive American" style of cooking.Each chef has his own fascinating story, and the series highlights an important common thread among them: culture. Because food is so connected with the culture it comes from, each chef represents whatever traditions and cooking techniques they've come out of. They combine their culture's traditional cooking with new tastes. In fact, many chefs work tirelessly at redefining an entire culture's expectation for eating.Despite having a number of unconventional elements associated with their cooking, one thing is clear：Cooking is an incredibly meaningful experience for each chef. One guest described his time at one chef's restaurant by saying "Eating there is like looking at someone who has put his soul into the food".56.What does the success of the food programs show?A. More chefs are in demand.B. These programs are a new fashion trend.C. People are hungry to find out what they eat.D. People are interested in the cookery experience.57.What do we know about Chef's Table?A. It is the latest food program.B. It is an award-winning television series featuring unique chefs.C. People watch it in order to hear the heart-touching stories.D. Grant Achatz is the most famous chef in the program.58.What does the author intend to tell readers in Paragraph 3?A. Culture counts in cooking and eating.B. The chefs are trying to change the eating culture.C. A good chef should highlight traditional cooking.D. Each chef has his own fascinating story about culture.59.What is the best title for the text?A. Chef's StoryB. Food and CultureC. A Popular Entertaining ProgramD. Chef's Table: Food with a Story(B)A. prevent untreated diseases such as depression and social isolationB. provide patients with low-priced hearing aid of high qualityC. have the expense of the hearing aid covered in health insurance policiesD. make high-priced hearing aid easily accessible on the market61.According to the passage, which of the following about MD Hearing Aid AIR is TRUE?A.

Patients are guaranteed to get the money back after they have tried it for45 days.C .Patients wearing the hearing aid will not hear any background sound.D.

While the limit would protect pristine worlds from the worst excesses of human activity , its primary goal is to ensure that humanity avoids a catastrophic( 灾难性的)future in which all of the resources within its reach are permanently used up.“If we don’t think about this now, we will go ahead as we always have, and in a few hundred years we will face an extreme crisis, much worse than we have on Earth now,” said Martin Elvis, a senior astrophysicist at the Simthsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “Once you’ve exploited the solar system, there’s nowhere left to go.” Fledgling space mining companies have set their sights on trillions of pounds’ worth of iron and precious metals locked up in asteroids (小行星)，along with valuable minerals and trillions of tonnes of water on the moon.In Britain, the Asteroids Mining Corporation hopes to send a satellite into orbit in the coming years to prospect for nearby asteroids. Much of the mined material would be used in space to build habitats on the moon and make rocket fuel.With Tony Milligan, a philosopher at King’s College London, Elvis analysed how soon humans might use up the solar system’s most accessible resources should space mining take off. They found that an annual growth rate of 3.5% would use up an eighth of the solar system’s realistic resources in 400 years. At that point, humanity would have only 60 years to apply the brakes and avoid exhausting the supply completely.Because humans may struggle to mine the sun, or extract useful materials from the gas giant Jupiter, the researchers see a steroids, the moon, Mars and other rocky planets as the most realistic targets for space miners.But which areas are protected from mining is a subtle decision, the scientists write in the forthcoming issue of Acta Astronautica. The Valles Marinerison Mars, the largest canyon in the solar system, might deserve protection much as the Grand Canyon is protected on Earth. But there are other sites too, said Elvis. “Do we want cities on the near side of the moon that light up at night? Would that be inspiring or horrifying ? And what about the rings of Saturn? They are beautiful, almost pure water ice. Is it OK to mine those so that in 100 years they are gone?”“If everything goes right, we could be sending our first mining missions into space within 10 years,” he added. “Once it starts and somebody makes an enormous profit, there will be the equivalent of a gold rush.”63.What is the ultimate aim of the proposal that calls for the preservation of much of the solar system?A. To prevent space firms making huge profits by mining the asteroids.B. To stop the solar system from being over-cultivated by human beings.C. To protect the system’s accessible resources from being exhausted.D. To draw people’s attention to the effect of excessive space mining.64.The word “ pristine” is closest in meaning to .A. distantB. unspoiledC. prosperousD. backward65.Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. The solar system is the only space where human beings can build habitats.B. Satellites have been sent to exploit the minerals locked up in asteroids.C. Unlike some rocky planets, the sun and Jupiter are considered not suitable for mining.D. Agreement has been reached as to which areas in the solar systems are to be protected from mining.66.What is the author’s attitude toward space mining?A. supportiveB. criticalC.neutralD. indifferentSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A Marked Shift in Toy BoxesSometimes the smallest of things have the biggest of impacts. Last week Lego showed its first ever wheelchair-using mini-figure at a toy fair in Germany. For an inch-tall plastic boy, he's been making big waves, inspiring global press coverage and online celebrations from Lego fans, parents and disability groups.“But he’s just a little guy，” some may say, “a plastic guy out for a wheel in the park with his dog and a bunch of other mini-figures. What's the big deal?”____________67____________ His birth in the toy box marks a significant shift within children’s industries. There are 150 million children with disabilities worldwide, yet until now they have scarcely ever seen themselves positively reflected in the media and toys they consume. In her recently published book Disability and Popular Culture , Australian academic Katie Ellis writes: “Toys mirror the values of the society that produce them... ” ____________68____________ Whether intentionally or not, it has sent out a powerful message of inclusion.The toys, TV，films, games, apps and books that entertain and educate our children barely feature children with any kind of impairment or difference. When did you last see disability represented positively in a children's film, cartoon, or computer game? Have you ever seen a set of emojis that reflect the disabled experience? Then, how could disabled children gain positive self-esteem when the culture around them appears to place no value on their existence?____________69 ____________There is a danger that these children will feel like permanent outsider in the world.____________70____________ However, it seems no one knows quite how to fix it. We dance delicately around disability, scared to offend or get it wrong, so we don't do it. This exclusion is causing damage to millions of children, yet the answer is quite simple. Let’s hope that one day, positive representations of disability are included so seamlessly across children’s industries that they cease to be noteworthy at all.IV.

When you’re the only member of your social circle with the latest hot device, people stare in fascination. However, people tend to underestimate the costs of this temporary coolness, which they pay in more ways than one.Frankly speaking, early adoption is a bad investment. The earliest version of devices are not only expensive, they are also the most expensive that those devices will ever be. Companies are attempting to recover the cost of production as fast as they can, and once the profits from early adopters’ purchases are safely in their hands, they can cut the price and shift to the next marketing stage: selling the product to everyone else. This is why the cost of the original IPhone dropped about $200 only eight months after its release.Those who are first to leap into a new technology also risk wasting money and time on something that will never catch on. In 2006, HD DVDs, a new format ( 制式) for video, entered the market. A few eager consumers bought HD DVD player that were discontinued in early 2008. the early adopters were then stuck with pricey devices that just sat on their shelves collecting dust. Another good reason to resist the early adoption temptation is that the first version of a product typically has imperfections. For example, when Microsoft’s game machine, Xbox One, was first released in 2013, users immediately began to complain of problems. Devoted gamers worked to find and share solutions to these issues. Such problems are so common with new technology that early adopters are basically unpaid testers.So don’t join the first wave of consumers who invest in the latest version of device; instead, wait and see.V.
