Up to one fifth of the Amazon rainforest is emitting more CO2 than it absorbs, new research suggests．Results from a decade﹣long study of greenhouse gases over the Amazon basin appear to show around 20% of the total area has become a net source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere．One of the main causes is deforestation．While trees are growing they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; dead trees release it again．Millions of trees have been lost to logging and fires in recent years．The results of the study, which have not yet been published, have implications for the effort to combat climate change．They suggest that the Amazon rainforest﹣a vital carbon store, or "sink", that slows the pace of global warming﹣ray be turning into a carbon source faster than previously thought．Every two weeks for the past 10 years, a team of scientists led by Professor Lucinna Gatti．a researcher at Brazil's National Institute for Space Research（INPE）, has been measuring greenhouse gases by flying aircraft fitted with sensors over different parts of the Amazon basin．What the group found was startling: while most of the rainforest still retains its ability to absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide﹣especially in wetter years﹣one portion of the forest, which is especially heavily deforested, appears to have lost that capacity．Gatti's research suggests this south﹣eastern part of the forest, about 20% of the total area, has become a carbon source．"Each year is worse, " she told Neesnight．"We observed that this area in the south﹣east is an important source of carbon．And it doesn't matter whether it is a wet year or a dry year． 2017﹣18 was a wet year, but it didn't make any difference．"A forest can become a source of carbon rather than a store, or sink, when trees die and emit carbon into the atmosphere．Areas of deforestation also contribute to the Amazon's inability to absorb carbon．Carlos Nobre, who co﹣authored Prof Gatti's study, called the observation "very worrying" because "it could be showing the beginnings of a major tipping point"．He believes the new findings suggest that in the next 30 years, more than half of the Amazon could transform from rainforest into savanna．（1）What can be inferred from paragraph 2？________A One fifth of the total Amazon basin remains a forest．B Carbon dioxide are released by all the Amazon basin．C Growing trees both absorb and release carbon dioxide．D Fires are responsible for the loss of a lot of trees．．（2）Which of the following might Professor Luciana Gatti agree with？________A Deforestation has negative effects on the Amazon rainforest．B More carbon will be released in a wet year than in a dry year．C A better year is expected despite the present situation of the area．D There is no need for people to worry about the result of the finding．．（3）What might be talked about in the following paragraph？________A Other worrying phenomena about the Amazon．B More explanations for the "Amazon tipping point"．C Other people's opinions on effects ofdeforestation． D Comparison between old findings and new ones．19. This is the greatest mystery of our adult life: How can we spend all day typing at a computer and go home feeling exhausted? How could merely activating the small muscles of our fingers leave us worn out at the end of the day? What causes mental fatigue（疲劳）? "It is kind of a mystery, to be honest．" said Michael Inzlicht, a University of Toronto psychologist who studies self﹣control, motivation, and fatigue．But scientists do have some clues．There is a hypothesis for why we get so tired from work when we're not physically active．We get so tired because our motivation runs out．As we work on a task．we struggle to focus on it or eventually lose interest in it．We become less motivated to do the task．We become drawn to the things we want to do（scrolling social media or reading music blogs, for instance）, rather than the things we have to do．And this tension possibly causes fatigue．Researchers in the UK published new evidence that finds some indirect evidence for the motivational model．This study tracked 100 nurses in the UK over two 1﹣hour shifts．Throughout the shifts, the nurses reported how fatigued they felt at regular intervals．They also wore devices that monitored and tracked the amount of physical activity they were engaged in．When the researchers investigated what could possibly explain the fatigue, they found some interesting patterns．Here's the result: There was no connection between the amount of physical work the nurses did and their feelings of fatigue．Instead, they found this small connection: The nurses who were least likely to feel fatigued from their work also felt the most in control of their work, and the most rewarded or it．These feelings may have boosted their motivation, which may have boosted their perception of having energy．Inzlicht has also found evidence for the motivational model in his work．A few years ago, he and Carleton University psychologist Marina Milyavskaya monitored 159 students at McGill University in Canada for a week．"What was surprising to us was the biggest predictor of fatigue, not whether they had exerted self﹣control．" Inzlicht said．"Instead, the predictor was the number of temptations they felt．" "If you're typing at work, and if you're anything like me, you got a few browsers open．These lead to temptations, " he said．"Temptations make us less motivated o do our work, which, in turn, may make us tired．"And there may be an evolutionary reason for why our brains would do this．"As an organism, we need to meet multiple goals to survive．" Inzlicht explains．We're not solely focused on finding food or pursuing our passions in life．We need to do all these things to be a healthy, thriving species．"Because these multiple goals compete with one another（forour time）, we need a mechanism in place that signals．'Hey, stop doing that thing and do something else．'" That mechanism, he suggests, could be fatigue．In this light, boosting our motivation to stay on a task could lead us to feel less fatigued． One study found that just paying people some money when they're exhausted can keep them on task．A similar thing is found in studies on physical endurance: People can be easily pushed to work beyond what they think is their physical limit．（1）Why does the author ask so many questions in the first paragraph？________A To introduce a common phenomenon．B To raise some questions that are appealing．C To lead to the theme and attract attention．D To show the author's concern of the problem．．（2）Which one is the hypothesis for why we are often feel exhausted after one﹣day work？________A We are drawn to others things we have to do．B Lacking drive to finish a task leads to tiredness．C Smaller amount of physical activity makes us more tiered．D Better self﹣control can boost one's motivation to work．．（3）Which of the following may Inzlicht agree with？________A The person with strong self﹣control can get more reward from work．B The one who are less motivated will be exposed to more temptation．C While typing，we use little part of our muscle，which is more tiring．D Typing with some browsers open will sometimes makes us more tired．．（4）Which one can be used to improve an employee's motivation？________A Improving his salary．B Finding his passion．C Boosting hismotivation． D Pushing his physical limits．20. I stumbled on a wallet someone had lost in the street, Wanting to find the owner, I opened it, but it only contained 3 dollars and an old crumpled envelope．I opened the letter and saw a return address and dateline…1924．It had been written 60 years ago．It was a "Dear John" letter that told the recipient, whose name appeared to be Michael, that thewriter could not see him any more because her mother forbade it．Even so, she wrote that she would always love him．It was signed Hannah．I called information, maybe there was a phone listing for the address．The operator hesitantly told me there was a number, but the best she could do was call it and see if they wanted to be connected．I learned that Hannah was now living in a Nursing Home and was given the number．It seemed silly, wanting to contact someone over a letter written 60 years ago, but I felt________．I was told that Hannah was there and though it was fairly late I followed my instinct and went to see her．She was a sweet silver﹣haired lady with a warm smile and a twinkle in her eye．I told her about finding the wallet and showed her the letter．She took a deep breath and said．"Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever had with Michael．"She said softly, "I loved him very much．But I was only 16 at the time and my mother felt I was too young．If you should find him, tell him I still love him．" With tears in her eyes she told me she had never married because no one had matched up to him in her heart．I thanked her and left．As I was waiting by the elevator the nurse there asked．"Was Hannah able to help you? " I'd taken out the wallet as she was speaking and she said "Hey, wait a minute that's Michael Goldstein's wallet．I'd recognize it anywhere; he's always losing it．"My hands began to shake．"Who's Michael Goldstein? " I asked．"One of the residents on the 8th floor, That's his wallet for sure．" I dashed up to the 8th floor and the nurse on duty told me he was still in the day room．We went into the day room and as soon as Michael saw the wallet a smile of relief crossed his face．I confessed I'd read the letter in an attempt to find the owner of the wallet．The smile on his face disappeared．"But I think you'll be happy I did, " I said．I think I know where Hannah is．He grew pale．"Where is she? How is she? Please tell me．" he begged．"She's fine, " I said quietly．"I was so in love with that girl and when that letter came, my life came to a halt．I never married．I guess I've always loved her．"I asked him to come with me and took him down to the 3rd floor where Hannah was sitting alone, watching television．The floor nurse pointed to Michael．"Do you know thisman, Hannah? " She adjusted her glasses but didn't speak．Michael whispered．"Hannah．it's me, Michael．Do you remember me? "She gasped．"Michael, Michael, I don't believe it．It's you! My Michael．" They walked towards one another and embraced．The nurse and I left with tears streaming down our faces．About three weeks later I got a call from the nursing home．"Can you break away on Sunday to attend a wedding? Michael and Hannah are going to tie the knot!"It was a beautiful wedding with all the people at the nursing home joining in the celebration．I was the best man! The hospital gave them their own room and if you ever wanted to see a 76﹣year﹣old bride and a 79﹣year﹣old groom acting like two teenagers, you had to see this couple．A perfect ending for a love affair that had lasted nearly 60 years．（1）According to the first paragraph．what kind of letter is a "Dear John" letter？________ A A letter to inform a lover of something important． B A letter written by a girl to break up with her boyfriend． C A letter by a mother to end her daughter's relationship． D A letter by an old women to recall the lost romance．．（2）What does the author mean by saying "I felt impelled" in paragraph 3？________A He felt great sympathy for the old man and women．B He was interested to know the woman who wrote the letter．C He was forced and driven by his instinct to find Hannah．D He called the information to kill his boring time．．（3）What can we infer from paragraph 5？________A Hannah never came across any man who is as successful as Michael．B Hannah broke up with Michael because she didn't love him any more．C Hannah determined to break up with Michael because of her father．D Hannah loved Michael so much that she didn't get married with others．．（4）Which of the following sentences indicates the wallet is important for Michael？________A Hey，wait a minute that's Michael Goldstein's wallet．I'd recognize it anywhere；he's always losing it．B I was so in love with that girl and when that letter came，my life came to a halt．I never married．I guess I've always loved her．C As soon as Michael saw the wallet a smile of relief crossed his face．D Where is she？How is she？Pleasetell me．．（5）What is the author's tone when he discusses the love between Hannah and Michael？________A Positive．B Indifferent．C Doubt．D Negative．．（6）What would be the best title for the passage？________A A love storyB The lost walletC Love in the nursing homeD The best man．第四部分任务型阅读（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填人一个最恰当的单词．注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填1个单词．21. Most groups of plants and animals are richer in species and more plentiful near the equator．In the ocean，that holds true for cold﹣blooded predators．But warm﹣blooded predators are more diverse toward the poles and noticeably missing from several warm hot spots．Why？John Grady，an ecologist，and his team considered the possibility﹣warm﹣blooded animals need a lot to fuel their metabolism（新陈代谢）．Perhaps colder waters are just richer in small fish？But they found that at higher，colder places，there isn't actually much more food around．It's more that warm﹣blooded animals are eating a much bigger share of it than their cold﹣blooded competitors．The real explanation is simple．An animal's speed，swiftness，and intelligence depend on its metabolism，which in turn depends on its temperature．Since birds and mammals can keep heating their bodies in icy conditions，they remain fast and attentive．By contrast，the fish they hunt become slower and duller．At some tipping point of temperature，seals，dolphins，and penguins start outswimming their prey．They become more likely to come upon targets and outpace the cold﹣blooded predators of their own．In Grady's words，"Warm﹣blooded predators are favoured where preys are slow，stupid and cold．" That's why sharks and other predatory fish dominate near the equator，but colder waters are the kingdom of whales and seals．By keeping food to themselves in thepoles，these creatures can then specialize on specific types of prey，which makes them more likely to split into separate species．The killer whales of the North Pacific，for example，include mammal eating transients and fish﹣eating，year﹣round residents．But the world is changing It's likely that the surface of the oceans will warn by 2 to 3Cwithin this century．Grad y's team estimates that every time the ocean's surface wars by 1℃，populations of sea mammals will fall by 12%，and populations of seals and sea lions will fall by 21%．But "predictions are hard"．Donna Hauser from the University of Alaska Fairbanks notes．"Polar bears are losers of a warming world，but some populations are still doing well． Some groups of whales have changed the timing of their migrations；others are hunting in deeper，colder waters．These changes might make sea mammals more adaptable to changing climates．Maybe they just need to find the places where fish remain slow，stupid and cold．"第五部分书面表达（满分25分）22. 请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．If you're a kid in South Korea these days，you might have trouble playing the latest online game on your smartphone for as long as you want．That's because the South Korean government has started to take some control over what kids can access on their phones．The government of South Korea as developed an app called Smart Sheriff that lets parents know about the websites their kids visit or the apps they use．South Korea has required that kids 18 and under install this app，or another one like it，on their smartphones． The recent ruling has led to a debate in South Korea over kids right to privacy．Teens in South Korea have a high level of smartphone and online﹣game use．Constant access to the Web distracts students．Parents and educators are also worried that kids will access harmful content on the Internet．So the government has set out to protect kids fromthe dangers of the Web．When apps like Smart Sheriff are installed on a phone，the user is kept from visiting certain websites，and warnings get sent to parents when a kid types "problem words"．Smart Sheriff can disable apps，and it keeps a record of how much time teens spend on the phone．If the app is not installed，the phone simply won't work．Supporters of Smart Sheriff believe that this will protect kids from dangers on the Web．Others disagree．Teens complain that the app encroaches on（侵犯）their right to privacy and freedom of expression．Some parents feel that they，as parents，should be the ones in control of their kids' smartphone use．They argue that children should be taught how to safely use the Web instead．【写作内容】1．用约30个单词概述上文韩国在孩子手机上安装 App监管孩子上网情况的看法；2．用约120个单词发表你的观点，并用2～3个理由或论据支撑你的看法．【写作要求】1．写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3．不必写标题．内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当．2020年江苏省某校高考英语五模试卷答案1.

Children under 18 are required to install an app on their smartphones to protect them against various dangers of the Web． It is claimed to be useful but some parents disagree．（概述）In my personal opinion， children are extremely vulnerable to harmful online contents，thus their usage of smartphones should be controlled to some extent． The app mentioned in the text can be helpful in some situations， for example， if the parents cannot accompany their children for a long time．【高分句型一】 However， installing these apps may also risk infringing upon kids' right to privacy， especially those who are above 16． Therefore I think the app can be used as a protective method， but only upon mutual agreements between parents and their children． Parents should also try to teach their kids web safety， as it is a great chance to ensure that kids can tell right from wrong in the future．【高分句型二】（你的观点和理由）In conclusion， I believe the apps have both advantages and disadvantages， therefore。

The2001foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms,stopped meat exports,and raised public consciousness about the troubles on UK farms.Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s2005campaign to get children eating healthily also highlighted the issue.This national concern gives hope to farmers competing with powerful supermarkets.While most people buy food from the big supermarkets,hundreds of independent Farmers’Markets are becoming popular.“I started going to Farmers’Markets in direct defiance of the big supermarkets.I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything–what exactly do they put on our apples to make them so big and red? It’s terrible,”said Londoner Michaela Samson,31.4.What are the challenges that British farmers face according toCharlotte Hollins?a.lonelinessb.thin profitsc.a lack of good equipmentd.long working hours but slow resultsA.abcB.abdC.acdD.bcd5.Why did Oliver Robinson refuse to stay on the farm?A.He hoped for a simpler life.B.He was fed up with a hard farm life.C.Farm life was too demanding though he liked it.D.He hoped for something challenging and rewarding.6.Which of the following can be Farmers’Markets’strong point?A.Lower prices.B.Flexible sizes.C.Convenient location.D.Healthier food.7.What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?A.Things are improving for independent farms in the UK.B.Farming in the UK can now match the powerful supermarkets.C.Most British people now feel doubtful of foods in big supermarkets.D.Most British people have realized the problems facing farms and begin to save farms.4.B细节题。

Others suggest modifying our moral brains directly,through drugs.The difficulties with this idea are obvious：who decides what makes improvement？Given the practical difficulties of large-scale morality hacking（入侵），we should perhaps stick to education.We are not simply prisoners of our emotions：we can reason our way to workable solutions.Science alone will not get us there.So no,we shouldn't take traditional morality too seriously where it fails to address modern problems.18.J．B．S．Haldane forecasted that scientific development would______．A.lead to the corruption of public moralsB.present a challenge to traditional moralsC.bring disasters and fears to human beingsD.affect human beings powers of adjustment19.We can learn from Paragraph2that______．A.collective wisdom is a good solution to modern challengesB.Robin Dunbar thinks it is hard to build up meaningful relationshipsC.our evolved moral sense is too limited to solve the problems of modern societyD.the large scale of social connections makes our relationships less meaningful20.What is implied in the last paragraph？______A.Most people put the blame for modern problems on science.B.Science can help with the modification of our moral brains.C.The combination of reason and humanity can make more effective morality.D.Human beings have a long way to go before they can overcome modern problems.CSomewhere in the highlands of Afghanistan,a hungry fox pounces（猛扑）on a tasty-looking leopard gecko（豹纹壁虎）．But the lizard has a get-out-of-jail-free card：a separable tail. The dropped part waves in an energetic but uncontrolled way around long enough to distract the fox,allowing the gecko itself to run off and hide.Leopard geckos are one of a few lizard species that possess this ability,known as autotomy （自切）．The technique is effective,but the tail can account for about a quarter of the lizard's body mass.So how do these animals adapt to losing so much of it that quickly？When geckos lose their tail,they"take this more sprawled posture（四肢伸开的姿势）"and walk with their limbs spread out farther from their body,says Chapman University biologist Kevin Jagnandan.Most researchers initially assumed this posture was a response to a suddenly shifted center of mass.But when Jagnandan observed leopard geckos with a tail in his laboratory,he realized that they wag it as they walk,suggesting that these movements may be key to the lizards'movements.To test this assumption,Jagnandan and his team assessed the postures of10geckos walking in various conditions：with their tail intact（完整的）；with their tail restricted by a small section of glued-on fishing rod（whose mass can be neglected）；and with their tailself-amputated.These comparisons allowed the researchers to distinguish the effects of lost mass from those of lost tail-wagging on the geckos'movements.The lizards with an immobilized tail adopted ways similar to those with no tail,the researchers reported in a study published in Scientific Reports.This result suggests the sprawling walk they adopt after losing their tail is not compensating for the missing mass but rather for the lack of tail-wagging.Jagnandan thinks tail movements help the lizards keep balance and stability as they walk.He suspects that the tails of mammals living in trees,such as cats and monkeys,serve a similar purpose.Bill Ryerson,a biologist at Saint Anselm College,who was not involved in the study,was surprised by the findings."We thought we had settled it--it seemed pretty open-and-shut"that mass was the main factor,he says.The new study challenges this earlier idea in a "beautifully simple"way,Ryerson adds.Jagnandan hopes that understanding how animals react to missing body parts could ultimately help engineers design robots that can move more efficiently as heavy loads-or even entire limbs---are added and removed.21.From the first two paragraphs we can learn that______．A.the fox likes to play with the gecko's tailB.the fox falls for the trick of the geckoC.moving without a tail is much tougher for the geckoD.the gecko becomes inactive when losing its tail22.Most researchers once thought geckos adopted the sprawled posture because______．A.the posture was key to their movementsB.their center of mass had changedC.the posture was their unique survival skillD.they imitated other mammals'behavior23.What can we know about the findings of the study？______A.They are in accordance with the expectation of Bill Ryerson.B.They were obtained after researchers compared three geckos'movements.C.They solved several mysteries concerning other mammals.D.They can be applied to the field of artificial intelligence.24.What does the passage mainly talk about？______A.Why leopard geckos prefer a habitat in the highlands.B.How leopard geckos play hide and seek games.C.How leopard geckos adapt to losing their tails.D.What role tails play in leopard geckos'life.DFor most of recorded history,the struggle to eat has been the main focus of human activity, and all but a handful of people were either farmers or farm workers.Starvation wasever-present threat.Even the best years rarely yielded much of a surplus to carry over as an insurance against leaner times.In the worst situation,none but the powerful could be sure of a full stomach.Now most people in rich countries never have to worry about where the next meal is comingfrom.In1900two in every five American workers laboured on a farm：now one in5Q does. Even in poor places such as India,where famine still struck until the mid-20th century,the assumption that everyone will have something to eat is increasingly built into the rhythm of life.That assumption,though,leads to complacency（自满情结）．Famine has ended in much of the world,but it still stalks parts of Africa一Ethiopia,Mozambique and Zimbabwe,to name three countries,depend on handouts of food.And millions of people still suffer from malnutrition.According to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation（FAO），some2 billion of the world's7.3billion people do not have enough to eat.Moreover,by2050，the total population is projected to grow to almost10billion.Add this to the rising demand for meat,fish,milk and eggs,which is born of prosperity and which requires extra fodder to satisfy,and70%more food will be needed in2050than was produced in2009，the year the FAO did the calculation.That is a tall order．But it is not impossible.Since the time of Thomas Malthus,an economist writing a little over200years ago,people have worried that population growth would outstrip（超过）food supply.So far,it has not.But neo-Malthusians spot worrying signs.One is that in some places the productivity of staples （主食）such as rice and wheat has reached a plateau（停滞期）．Neither new strains nor fancy agrochemicals are raising yields.Nor is there much unfarmed land left that is suitable to be brought under the plough.Neo-Malthusians also suggest that,if global temperatures continue to rise,some places will become unfarmable-particularly poor,tropical regions.These are reasonable,concerns.But they can be overcome by two things：the application and spread of technology,and the implementation of sensible government policies. Agricultural technology is changing fast.Much of this change is brought about by rich-world farmers and by rich fanners in middle-income places like Brazil.Techniques developed in the West一especially genome-based breeding that can create crops with special properties almost to order一are being adapted to make tropical crops.Such smart breeding,in alliance with new,precise techniques of genetic modification,should break through the yield plateaus. It can also produce crops with properties such as drought and heat-resistance that will.reduce the effects of global warming.Drought-resistant maize created in this way is already on the market.The developing world applies as little to existing farming techniques as it does to the latest advances in genetic modification.Yield plateaus are a phenomenon only of the mostintensively farmed parts of the world.Extending to the smallholders and subsistence farmers of Africa and Asia the best of today's agricultural practices,in such simple matters as how much fertilizer to apply and when,would get humanity quite a long way towards a70% increase in output.Indeed,government policy on reducing waste more generally would make a huge difference. The FAO says that about a third of food is lost during or after harvest.In rich countries a lot of food is thrown away by consumers.In poor ones it does not reach consumers in the first place.Bad harvesting practices,poor storage and slow transport mean that food is damaged, spoiled or lost to pests.Changing that,which is mostly a question of building things like better,pest-proof grain silos and monitoring their contents properly,would take a big bite out of the70%increase.The neo-Malthusians may throw up their hands in despair,but consider this：despite all the apparent obstacles,from yield plateaus to climate change,in the six years following the FAO analysis cereal production rose by11%．If growth like that continues it should not only be possible to feed the10billion,but to feed them well.25.According to Paragraphs1and2，we can know that most people in the modern world______．ually take food for grantedB.are successfully getting rid of farmingC.tend to deal with lean years skillfullyD.enjoy equal rights to get good food26.What does the underlined sentence,in Paragraph3probably mean？______A.Feeding a population of almost10billion can be expensive.B.A precise calculation of the food growth rate is hard to make.C.Increasing the output of food by70%in given years is very difficult.D.There is no parallel to the rising demand for high-quality food in history.27.According to the passage,neo-Malthusians______．A.have disproved Thomas Malthus'argumentB.have contributed to the increased output of cropsC.have found that population growth will exceed food supplyD.have claimed that climate change may influence food production28.What can we infer from the example of the develop world in Paragraph7？______A.Technology is of little use if it is not adopted.B.Yield plateaus are common to see all over the world.C.The developing world has got used to existing farming techniques.D.More advanced agricultural practices should be introduced to the developing world.29.The underlined part"take a big bite out of"in the last but one paragraph is closest inmeaning to"______"A.make a big profit ofB.take full advantage ofC.indicate the influence ofD.reduce a significant amount of30.What does the author think of the future of the world's food supply？______A.It is worrying.B.It is promising.C.It is controversial.D.It is uncertain.三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共20.0分）Since the age of three,Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer."The only thing that I loved was dance,"she told CBS News.That ambition nearly(31)in2010．Hill,then a17-year-old student in a small town,was in an accident that left her paralyzed from the(32)down.For most people,that would have(33)any hope of a dancing career.For Hill,it was the beginning.(34)being an obstacle,her wheelchair empowered her."I wanted to(35)to my myself I was still'normal'．"Hill danced in her wheelchair alongside her school dance team."Half of my body was(36) from me,"Hill told Today."and it definitely took a lot of learning and(37)．"After graduation, Hill wanted to(38)her dance network to include women who had(39)various spinal cord injuries but shared her(40)．"It was such an amazing experience？"Hoping to reach more people in a(41)city,Hill moved to Los Angeles in2014and formed the Rollettes."I want to(42)the stereotype（模式化观念）of wheelchair users."Dancing on wheels can be just as artful as the foot-based(43)．In dance competitions,they rocked their bodies to(44)，and struck poses in dynamic routines.They're having fun,and as the audiences'reactions(45)，the fun is infectious.Hill has(46)what many of us never will：her childhood dream.(47)the Rollettes have helped her find something else just as(48)．Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users to help them find their(49)strength they'venever seen before.In2019，173participants who used to be restricted lonely attended her camp.For many,it was the first time they'd felt they(50)．31.

Low ceilings,narrow corridors,and windowless offices have the opposite effect.Being able to think without any kind of time pressure is also important when striving for novel ideas.Just as important,interruptions are deadly.A short phone call,e-mail or even a text message can redirect your attention and thoughts.As a more general exercise to nurture our mental flexibility we can try to pay special attention to one of our strongly held beliefs,take it seriously and recall times in the past that we were wrong about something,our intellectual interactions may also be helpful.Deep（1）______into Flexible Thinking Passage outline Supporting details（2）______to possess a flexible mind •Political change along with technological and social changes in our times（3）______for flexible thinking.•Flexible thinking and logical thinking are playing different roles in our daily lives.The latter helps make what we analyze accurate while the former enables us to be（4）______．（5）______to thinking flexibly •（6）______information processors,our brain can either ignore new ideas or kill them（7）______on our experience and expectations.Ways to cultivate flexible thinking •It is better to let our mind off guard occasionally so as to avoid（8）______our ideas to conventional ones.•Adjusting external surroundings（9）______and thinking without time pressure and distractions is also important.•（10）______on one of our strongly held beliefs and having some doubt about it may be of help.五、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25.0分）52.请认真阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．The University of Cambridge confirmed on Monday that it had been using scores from China's national college entrance examination,or gaokao,as part of its admission criteria for Chinese students for several years.It says in Weibo post,however,that it does not admit students only based on their test scores.The University statement came after some Chinese media reported over the weekend that the university would start to admit Chinese students that ranked in the top0.1percent in the gaokao in their province,indicating that it would try to compete for talent with top universities in China.The news immediately became one of the most viewed topics on social media,beingread by280million users on Sina Weibo.The gaokao is increasingly accepted by universities in Australia,the United States, Canada and Europe.The University of New Hampshire became the first US state university to accept the gaokao in its entrance criteria last year.The test is also recognized by30universities in Australia and30in Canada,as well as colleges in Italy, France and Spain.[写作内容]1．用约30个单词概述上述信息的主要内容；2．谈谈剑桥大学接受中国高考成绩对你的启示，用2-3个理由或论据支撑你的看法．[写作要求]1．写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3．不必写标题．[评分标准]内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当．答案和解析1.【答案】C【解析】答案：C.A.imitate模仿；B.appreciate感激；C.anticipate预料、预期；D.equate 使相等。
