2020年江苏省苏锡常镇四市高三教学情况调研英语试题第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解第一节：每小题2.5分AUniversal Studios Beijing is under construction and will be opened in 2021. It will be the fifth Universal Studios in the word. Universal Studios Beijing will bring in the classical Universal Studios entertainment projects including: The Magic World of Harry Potter, 3D Adventure of Transformers, Minion 3D Roller Coaster, River Adventure of Jurassic Park and so on. In addition, Chinese themed projects will be designed specially for Universal Studios Beijing.Here are some recommended projects inside:The Magic World of Harry PotterThe Harry Potter Theme Park which swept the world will come in Beijing. The Hogwarts school, Diagon Alley, Hagrid's pumpkin house and other famous scenes will be reproduced in Universal Studios Beijing.Besides, the world's top technology- 4D riding equipment and the highest double track roller coaster will be available here.3D Adventure of TransformersThis project in Universal Studios Beijing perfectly combines 3D media and flight adventure, creating a unique experience that allows people to shuttle through reality and virtual images.Minion 3D Roller CoasterHere you can meet with Minion in reality. You can start your adventure from Gru's home and have a wonderful trip with Gru’s daughters and Minion.River Adventure of Jurassic ParkThis adventure is based on the movie “Jurassic Park ”. You can see dinosaurs living in the jungle. You will take a raft and escape from a huge meat-hunting dinosaur.In order to fit in Chinese culture better, the company will create moreChinese-themed entertainment projects. For example, Kung Fu Panda will be the key attraction of Universal Studios Beijing. What's more, in consideration of Beijing's long winter and some other weather factors, the constructors develop will more indoor amusement projects on the basis of classic projects.How to get to Universal Studios BeijingAfter being opened, the east extension of Subway Line 7 and the south extension of Batong Line will have a stop here.1. You may meet relatives of movie heroes in ________.A. Harry Potter Theme ParkB. Transformers Theme ParkC. Minion Theme ParkD. Jurassic Park2. More indoor amusement projects will be built due to ________.A. weather conditionsB. safety considerationsC. economic factorsD. tourists’ requests3. We are likely to find this passage in the ________ section of a newspaper.A. economyB. entertainmentC. scienceD. sportsBIf you look across the entire lifespan, what you see is an average increase in desirable personality traits（特点）.Psychologists call this the “maturity principle” and it’s comforting to know that, assuming your personality follows a typical course, then the older you get, the maturer you will become. However, it’s not such good news for young adolescents, because at this point, something known as the “disruption hypothesis” kicks in.Consider a study of Dutch teenagers who completed personality tests each year for six or seven years from 2005. The boys showed a temporary dip in conscientiousness—orderliness and self-discilpline in early adolescence, and the girls showed a temporary increase in neuroticism—emotional instability. This seems to back up some of the stereotypes we have of messy teen bedroomsand mood swings. Thankfully, this decline in personality is short-lived, with the Dutch data showing that the teenagers’ previous positive traits rebound （反弹）in later adolescence.Both parents and their teenage children agree that changes occur, but surprisingly, the perceived change can depend on who is measuring, according to a 2017 study of over 2,700 German teenagers. They rated their own personalities twice, at age 11 and age 14, and their parents also rated their personalities at these times. Some differences emerged: for instance, while the teenagers rated themselves as declining in agreeability, their parents saw this decline as much shaper. Also, the teens saw themselves as increasingly extroverted（外向的）, but their parents saw them as increasingly introverted.This mismatch can perhaps be explained by the big changes underway in the parent-child relationship brought on by teenagers’ growing desire for autonomy and privacy. The researchers point out that parents and teens might also be using different reference points—parents are measuring their teenagers’traits against a typical adult, while the teenagers are comparing their own traits against those displayed by their peers.This is in line with several further studies, which also reveal a pattern of a temporary reduction in advantageous traits in early adolescence. The general picture of the teenage years as a temporary personality “disruption” therefore seems accurate. In fact, we’re only just beginning to understand the complex mix of genetic and environmental factors that contribute to individual patterns of personality change.Studies also offer some clues for how we might create more nurturing environments for teenagers to aid their personality development. This is an approach worth pushing further given that teenage personality traits are predictive of experiences in later life. For instance, one British study of over 4,000 teenagers showed that those who scores lower in conscientiousness were twice as likely to be unemployed later in life, in comparison with those who scored higher.People focus so much on teaching teenagers facts and getting them to pass exams, but perhaps they ought to pay at least as much attention to helping nurture their personalities. .4. Which of the following can be an example of “disruption hypothesis”?A. A kindergarten kid cries over a toy.B. A boy in high school cleans his own room.C. A teenage girl feels sad for unknown reason.D. A college graduate feels stressed out by work.5. According to the study of German teenagers ______.A. parent give their teens too much automony and privacyB. teens are more optimistic about their personality changesC. teens and parents have the same personality rating standardD. parents and teens can later agree on teens’ personality decline6 We can infer from the last three paragraphs that ______.A. teens should pay less attention to their scores in examsB. developing teens’ personality has a long-term effect in their lifeC. people’s success in later life depends on teenage personality traitsD. environmental factors outweigh genetic ones for personality change7. What is the author’s attitude towards present teenager personality education?A. Dissatisfied.B. Approving.C. Neutral.D. Cautious.CLondon, New York, Tokyo and Paris these famous cities have a commanding influence on the world economy and are home to millions of people, as well as internationally famous arts, culture and educational institutions. But they are hardly representative of the rest of the world’s cities. While 54% of the global population live in cities, around half of those live in cities that have500,000 inhabitants or fewer.These “ordinary” cities can be overlooked by politicians, investors, researchers and big businesses. But they are dynamic places with many layers of social, cultural and economic significance. After experiencing a period ofpost-industrial decline, many such cities are considering urban regeneration (再生) programmes.But that doesn't mean they have to follow the same path as other urban areas. In fact, the research into urban development has found that ordinary cities can avoid some of the ill effects of regeneration, by embracing what makes them unique.At the turn of the century, city leaders became increasingly interested in the idea of the “creative city,” The idea was to encourage a “creat ive class” of talented workers to make their homes and businesses in cities, by creating urban spaces that are open, inclusive and diverse, as well as attractive and technologically advanced.“Regeneration” became a buzzword associated with these types of strategies, which seek to repurpose seemingly disused or rundown spaces to support an economy led by creative and technological industries. The apparent success of creative city policies was seen in post-industrial centres such as Detroit, US, following investments in cultural, artistic and musical urban renewal.Such policies swiftly became the go-to strategy for seemingly “ordinary” post-industrial cities around the world, even resulting in new rankings thatpit cities against each other, based on criteria including entrepreneurship (创业精神), urban leadership and “liveability”. Having plenty of former industrial spaces that can be adapted for new uses, and a desire to be noticed on the national or global stage, encourages investment in urban regeneration from both public and private sources.Yet regeneration programmes inspired by the creative city agenda can cause problems. Property developers (地产开发商) and foreign investors haverecognized the economic potential of real estate(房地产) in “creative”cities. This has led to rocketing land costs, and many low-income residentshave felt the effects of being displaced from their homes.Yet as more cities seek to emphasize their cultural assets(资产), cityleaders and policy makers must be aware of the negative impacts that can ariseif local residents are not central to the decision-making process. Thisemphasizes the need to consider local contexts and communities before operating , copycat creative policies.8. Some famous cities can’t represent the rest of the world's c ities inthat____________.A. they are always ignored by politicians, researchers and businessmenB. they accommodate millions of people but don't contribute to the worldeconomy.C. about a quarter of global population live in middle-sized and small cities.D. not all famous arts culture and educational organizations are distributed there.9. What measure was probably taken by cities like Detroit to promote citydevelopment?A. Using culture and art as a driving force.B. Forcing low-income residents to move.C. Following the same path as some big cities.D. Encouraging industrial investment continuously.10. What does the author want to stress in the passage?A. Cities should copy regeneration programmes.B. Cities should compete with each other based on some criteria.C. Cities should seek financial support from sources around the world.D. Cities should consider regional factors before using creative policies.11. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Ordinary cities successfully avoid ill-effects of development.B. Ordinary cities don' t have to copy trends to regenerate.C. Ordinary cities are trying to recover from post-industrial decline.D. Ordinary cities are dynamic places with social importance.D“A teacher affects eternity( 永恒); he can never tell where his influence stops.”---Henry Adams He was eight years old. A telegram came from the hospital, and since his father, a Russian immigrant, could not read English, Morrie had to break the news, reading his mother's death notice like a student read in front of the class. “We regret to inform yo u.." he began.On the morning of the funeral, Morrie's relatives came down the steps ofhis tenement building on the poor Lower East Side of Manhattan. At the cemetery, Morrie watched as they shoveled dirt into his mother's gave. He tried to retell the tender moments they had shared when she was alive. She had operated a candy store until she got sick, after which she mostly slept or sat by the window, looking frail and weak. Sometimes she would yell out for her son to get her some medicine, and young Morrie, playing stickball in the street, would pretend he did not hear her.In his mind he believed he could make the illness go away by ignoring it.How else can a child deal with death?Morrie's father, whom everyone called Charlie, had come to America to escape the Russian Army. He worked in the fur business, but constantly out of a job. Uneducated and barely able to speak English, he was terribly poor, and the family was on the public assistance much of the time. Sometimes, to make money, Morrie and his younger brother, David, would wash porch steps together for a nickel(镍币).One morning, David couldn't move. He had polio(小儿麻痹症). For a longtime- -as his brother was taken back and forth to a special medial home and was forced to wear braces on his les, which left him limping-- Morrie felt responsible.So in the mornings, he went to synagogue(犹太教会堂) and he stood among the swaying men in their long black coats and he asked God to take care of his dead mother and his sick brother.And in the afternoons , he stood at the bottom of the subway steps and sold magazines, turning whatever money he made over to his family to buy food.In the evenings, he watched his father eat in silence, hoping for- -but never getting --a show of affection, communication, warmth.At nine years old, he felt as if the weight of a mountain were on his shoulders.But a saving embrace came into Morrie's life the following year: his new stepmother, Eva. She was a short Romanian immigrant with plain features, curly brown hair, and the energy of two women. She had a glow(光) that warmed the otherwise murky atmosphere his father created. She talked when her new husband was silent, she sang songs to the children at night.Morrie took comfort in her smoothing voice, her school lessons, her strong character. When his brother returned from the medical home, still wearing braces from the polio, the two of them shared a rollaway bed in the kitchen of their apartment, and Eva would kiss them good-night. Morrie waited on those kisses like a puppy waits on milk, and he felt, deep down, that he had a mother again.There was no escaping their poverty, however. Because of the Depression, Morrie's father found even less work in the fur business.Still, despite their circumstances, Morrie was taught to love and to care. And to learn. Eva would accept nothing less than excellence in school, because she saw education as the only antidote to their poverty. She herself went to night school to improve her English. Morrie's love for education was hatched in her arms.He studied at night, by the lamp at the kitchen table. And in the mornings he would go to synagogue to say Kaddish- the memorial prayer for the dead- for his mother. He did this to keep her memory alive.“What will you do?" Eva would ask him.“I don't know," he would say. He ruled out law, because he didn’t like lawyers, and he ruled out medicine, because he couldn't take the sight of blood.“What will you do?"It was only through default that the best professor I ever had became a teacher.12. Why didn't Morrie respond to Mother's yelling for medicine?A. He didn't know how to help his mother.B. He was too focused on playing stickball.C. He was lost in tender moments they shared in the past.D. He was too young to understand what was happening to his family.13. After Eva joined in the family, Morrie ________.A. began to enjoy a materially rich lifeB. witnessed his father changing the atmosphereC. partly recovered from the sufferings in his lifeD. was forced to pursue academic achievements14. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “antidote”?A. Alternative.B. Credit.C. Exception.D. Solution.15. What can we learn from the story?A. Every cloud has a silver lining.B. No man is wise at all times.C. Time and tide wait for no man.D. Well begun is half done.第二节：每小题2.5分Much like the season itself, the fresh fruits of the summer often don't remain long as we want them to. All too often, you reach into the fridge and find that the strawberries you purchased just a few days ago have turned moldy (发霉的). _____16_____Vinegar has an extensive and ever-increasing list of household uses. Because it is non-poisonous, unlike other washes, it can be used to clean fresh fruits. _____17_____ Putting the fruit in the mixture of one part vinegar and three parts water can remove 98 percent of bacteria. It will make the fruit much cleaner than it was when washed with an antibacterial wash or with water alone. _____18_____By following the same process, you can prevent the growth of mold for far longer than if you haven't washed them with the mixture.

You can pat them dry with paper towel, and then pack them away in a clean container._____20_____ Actually, there is a simple solution to your concern.

Mother Nature has it figured out．She's designed a master scheme that connectsplants and animals, all working in concert to keep every living thing in balance．This is especially obvious in places like central Africa and in South American tropical rainforests where certain animals help keep trees safe and healthy, which is critical as trees absorb vast amounts of planet﹣warming carbon pollution．Recent research warns that losing the creatures that nurture trees puts forests in danger．This, by extension, is helping to accelerate dangerous climate change．In central Africa, for example, elephants eat fast﹣growing trees, making room for those that grow more slowly．The slow﹣growing trees﹣with their very dense wood﹣storemore carbon than the thinner, faster﹣developing ones．Without elephants, more carbon would accumulate in the atmosphere, worsening climate change, according to a new study that used computer models to project what could happen if elephant populations continue to decrease or become extinct．"Africa may once have contained 10 million elephants from the Mediterranean to the Cape, in every habitat except extreme desert．In 1970, there may have been a million left．By the end of the 1980s, there were half that number, mostly killed for the ivory trade, " said Stephen Blake, assistant professor of biology at St．Louis University．By killing elephants, poachers（愉猎者）rob slow﹣growing trees of their guardian．They also slow the growth of new trees．Elephants blaze（开辟）trails and disperse（散播）seeds as they look for food．"Elephants are basically the gardeners of the forest, " Blake said．"They disperse over 100 species of seeds, and disperse more of them over longer distances than other dispersers．"Blake, who has spent nearly 20 years in Africa working in elephant research and conservation, mourns their fate, describing them as "a complex society ofintelligent, caring, emotional animals who respect their grandmothers and mourn their dead, " and condemns those who neglect their duty to save them．"We will go to Mars﹣there is no doubt﹣humans are too smart not to, " he said．"Yet we do not have the wisdom to protect elephants and their forest environment that do so much for our physical, spiritual, and emotional well﹣being．"（1）Elephants help keep slow﹣growing trees safe and healthy by________．A providing living space for themB dispersing seeds when searching forfood C decreasing in number and reducing carbon accumulation D protecting them in the forest from being cut down．（2）What can we infer from the last paragraph？________A The world is changing at a faster speed than before．B People are intelligent enough to protect the environment．C What we have done to protect elephants is far from satisfactory．D Animals are so smart that they care much about the well﹣being of humans．．（3）Which of the following is the best title of the passage？________A Elephants are in danger of dying out in the near future．B Elephants are fighting climate change in ways humans can't．C Animals are assumed to be the gardeners of the forest．D Animals are accelerating dangerous climate change．19. London, New York, Tokyo and Paris﹣these famous cities have a commanding influence on the world economy and are home to millions of people, as well as internationally famous arts, culture and educational institutions．But they are hardly representative of the rest of the world's cities．While 54% of the global population live in cities, around half of those live in cities that have 500, 000 inhabitants or fewer．These "ordinary" cities can be overlooked by politicians, investors, researchers and big businesses．But they are dynamic places with many layers of social, cultural and economic significance．After experiencing a period of post﹣industrial decline, many such cities areconsidering urban regeneration（再生）programmes．But that doesn't mean they have to follow the same path as other urban areas．In fact, the research into urban development has found that ordinary cities can avoid some of the ill﹣effects of regeneration, by embracing what makes them unique．At the turn of the century, city leaders became increasingly interested in the idea of the "creative city"．The idea was to encourage a "creative class" of talented workers to make their homes and businesses in cities, by creating urban spaces that are open, inclusive and diverse, as well as attractive and technologically advanced．"Regeneration" became a buzzword associated with these types of strategies, which seekto repurpose seemingly disused or rundown spaces to support an economy led by creative and technological industries．The apparent success of creative city policies was seen in post﹣industrial centres such as Detroit．US, following investments in cultural, artistic and musical urban renewal．Such policies swiftly became the go﹣to strategy for seemingly "ordinary" post﹣industrial cities around the world, even resulting in new rankings that pit cities against eachother, based on criteria including entrepreneurship（创业精神）, urban leadership and "liveability"．Having plenty of former industrial spaces that can be adapted for newuses, and a desire to be noticed on the national or global stage, encourages investment in urban regeneration from both public and private sources．Yet regeneration programmes inspired by the creative city agenda can cause problems． Property developers（地产开发商）and foreign investors have recognized the economic potential of real estate（房地产）in "creative" cities．This has led to rocketing land costs, and many low﹣income residents have felt the effects of being displaced fromtheir homes．Yet as more cities seek to emphasize their cultural assets（资产）, city leaders and policy makers must be aware of the negative impacts that can arise if local residents are not central to the decision﹣making process．This emphasizes the need to consider local contexts and communities before operating copycat creative policies．（1）Some famous cities can't represent the rest of the world's cities in that________．A they are always ignored by politicians，researchers and businessmenB they accommodate millions of people but don't contribute to the world economyC about a quarter of global population live in middle﹣sized and small citiesD not all famous arts，culture and educational organizations are distributed there．（2）What measure was probably taken by cities like Detroit to promote city development？________A Using culture and art as a driving force．B Forcing low﹣income residents to move．C Following the same path as some big cities．D Encouraging industrial investment continuously．．（3）What does the author want to stress in the passage？________A Cities should copy regeneration programmes．B Cities should compete with each other based on some criteria．C Cities should seek financial support from sourcesaround the world． D Cities should consider regional factors before using creative policies．．（4）What does the passage mainly talk about？________A Ordinary cities successfully avoid ill﹣effects of development．B Ordinary cities don't have to copy trends to regenerate．C Ordinary cities are trying to recover from post﹣industrial decline．D Ordinary cities are dynamic places with social importance．20. The professor"A teacher affects eternity（永恒）; he can never tell where his influence stops．"﹣Henry AdamsHe was eight years old．A telegram came from the hospital, and since his father, a Russian immigrant, could not read English, Morrie had to break the news, reading his mother's death notice like a student read in front of the class．"We regret to inform you…" he began．On the morning of the funeral, Morrie's relatives came down the steps of his tenement building on the poor Lower East Side of Manhattan．At the cemetery, Morrie watched as they shoveled dirt into his mother's grave．He tried to recall the tender moments they had shared when she was alive．She had operated a candy store until she got sick, after which she mostly slept or sat by the window, looking frail and weak． Sometimes she would yell out for her son to get her some medicine, and young Morrie, playing stickball in the street, would pretend he did not hear her．In his mind he believed he could make the illness go away by ignoring it．How else can a child deal with death?Morrie's father, whom everyone called Charlie, had come to America to escape the Russian Army．He worked in the fur business, but constantly out of a job．Uneducated and barely able to speak English, he was terribly poor, and the family was on the public assistance much of the time． Sometimes, to make money, Morrie and his younger brother, David, would wash porch steps together for a nickel（镍币）．One morning, David couldn't move．He had polio（小儿麻痹症）．For a long time﹣as his brother was taken back and forth to a special medical home and was forced to wear braces on his legs, which left him limping﹣Morrie felt responsible．So in the mornings, he went to synagogue（犹太教会堂）and he stood among the swaying men in their long black coats and he asked God to take care of his dead mother and his sick brother．And in the afternoons, he stood at the bottom of the subway steps and sold magazines, turning whatever money he made over to his family to buy food．In the evenings, he watched his father eat in silence, hoping for﹣but never getting﹣a show of affection, communication, warmth．At nine years old, he felt as if the weight of a mountain were on his shoulders．But a saving embrace came into Morrie's life the following year: his newstepmother, Eva． She was a short Romanian immigrant with plain features, curly brown hair, and the energy of two women．She had a glow（光）that warmed the otherwise murky atmosphere his father created． She talked when her new husband was silent, she sang songs to the children at night．Morrie took comfort in her smoothing voice, her school lessons, her strong character．When his brother returned from the medical home, stillwearing braces from the polio, the two of them shared a rollaway bed in the kitchen of their apartment, and Eva would kiss them good﹣night．Morrie waited on those kisses like a puppy waits on milk, and he felt, deep down, that he had a mother again．There was no escaping their poverty, however．Because of the Depression, Morrie's father found even less work in the fur business．Still, despite their circumstances, Morrie was taught to love and to care．And to learn．Eva would accept nothing less than excellence in school, because she saw education as the only ________ to their poverty．She herself went to night school to improve her English．Morrie's love for education was hatched in her arms．He studied at night, by the lamp at the kitchen table．And in the mornings he would go to synagogue to say Kaddish﹣the memorial prayer for the dead﹣for his mother．He did this to keep her memory alive．"What will you do? " Eva would ask him．"I don't know, " he would say．He ruled out law, because he didn't like lawyers, and he ruled out medicine, because he couldn't take the sight of blood．"What will you do? "It was only through default that the best professor I ever had became a teacher．（1）Why didn't Morrie respond to Mother's yelling for medicine？________A He didn't know how to help his mother．B He was too focused on playing stickball．C He was lost in tender moments they shared in the past．D He was too young to understand what was happening to his family．．（2）After Eva joined in the family，Morrie________．A began to enjoy a materially rich lifeB witnessed his father changing the atmosphereC partly recovered from the sufferings in his lifeD was forced to pursue academic achievements．（3）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "antidote"？________A alternativeB creditC exceptionD solution．（4）What gives Morrie the initial affection for education？________A His stepmother's influence．B His desire for knowledge．C His experience at school．D His memory of Mother．．（5）Which of the following can best describe Morrie？________A Innocent and adventurous．B Energetic and ambitious．C Responsible and diligent．D Optimistic and religious．．（6）What can we learn from the story？________A Every cloud has a silver lining．B No man is wise at all times．C Time and tide wait for no man．D Well begun is half done．四、任务型阅读21.To err is human. Society is suffering from an inability to acknowledge as much.For individuals, errors are painful. The trick, then, is to err well: to recognize mistakes and learn from them. Worryingly, humanity may be getting worse at admitting its mistakes. Few enjoy the feeling of being caught out in an error. But real trouble starts when the desire to avoid a punishment leads to a refusal to deal with contrary evidence. Economists often assume that people are sensible. When faced with a new fact, these people should update their view of the world to take better decisions in future. Yet years of economic research confirms that people frequently disregard information that conflicts with their view of the world.Why should that be? Last year Roland Benabou, of Princeton, presented a framework for thinking about the problem. In many ways, beliefs are like other economic goods. People spend time and resources building them, and get value from them: some beliefs make owners feel good and show their public identity; other beliefs provide value by shaping behavior—for example, religious asceticism (禁欲主义) can help one avoid unhealthy habits.Because beliefs, however, are not simply tools for making good decisions, but are treasured in their own right, new information that challenges them is unwelcome. People often engage in "motivated reasoning" to manage such challenges. Mr. Benabou classifies this into three categories. "Strategic ignorance" is when a believer avoids information offering conflicting evidence. In "reality denial", troubling evidence is rationalized (合理化): real estate investors might make up fanciful theories for why prices should behave unusually, and supporters of a disgraced politician might claim the negative news to be fake. And lastly, in "selfsignalling", the believer creates his own tools to interpret the facts in the way he wants: an unhealthy person, for example, might decide that going for a daily run proves he is well. "Motivated reasoning" is a cognitive bias (偏见). Not all the errors it leads to are costly: praising the performance of one's supported football team despite contradictory evidence does little harm. But when biases are broadly shared—within financial world or political parties—danger arises. Motivated reasoning helps explain why viewpoints polarize (两极分化) even as information is more easily available than ever before.Work by Mr. Benabou suggests that groupthink is highest when people within groups face a shared fate: when choosing to break from a group is unlikely to spare an individual the costs of the group's errors or bring much individual benefit. The incentive (动力) to engage in motivated reasoning is high as a result. Even as the fact on a particular issue is obvious, parties can still become increasingly polarized. That, in turn, can make it harder still for a member of one party to get any benefit from breaking from a group. Indeed, the group has an incentive to silence independent voices.Public statements of regret are risky in a rigidly polarized world. Admissions of error can not only annoy partners but also provide opportunities for opponents. But it is rarely in the interest of those in the right to pretend that they are never wrong.（1）According to the passage, beliefs are similar to economic goods in that ______.A both are entertaining and valuableB both can be shaped by religious faithC both can reflect who the owners areD both promote religious development（2）Which of the following is an example of "selfsignalling"?A A fan speaks highly of his team although it has just lost the game.B A man covers his ears when stealing a bell, believing the bell won't ring.C Supporters of Trump believe the news about his affairs with a lady is fake.D Suspected AIDS carriers refuse to be tested though it can be done for free.（3）What can be inferred from Paragraphs 6 and 7?A Polarization causes individuals to break from the group.B Richer sources of information decrease motivated reasoning.C Individuals with independent voices are dismissed from the group.D Individuals in a group engage in motivated reasoning for their own interests.（4）Which of the following opinions might the author agree with?A Denying errors is unavoidable.B Failure to admit errors is harmful.C Humans are getting better at erring well.D Wise people ignore contrary worldviews.五、读写任务22. 请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．WeChat is testing a new feature that allows public bloggers to add paywalls to their posts，the company said Wednesday．Qualitied bloggers can charge readers up to 208 yuan（＄30）for each article，and WeChat will charge the bloggers a technical service fee．WeChat，the most popular social media app in China with 1.15 billion monthly active users，said the feature aims to motivate original content publishers to produce more posts with higher quality．Public blogging accounts，which can be fun by individuals or companies，currently make money from in﹣app advertisements，which are negotiated directly between advertisersand blog owners，with WeChat not taking a cut．Readers can also voluntarily tip bloggers directly via a function called Zan Shang．Android users can pay with WeChat Pay，Tencent's mobile payment method．Users with IOS， however，must use Apple's in﹣app purchase service，meaning that Apple will take a cut of as much as 30% for each transaction．It's unclear how bloggers and readers will respond to the new feature as Chinese users are used to large amounts of free content shared on the social media platform．【写作内容】1．用约30个单词概括上述信息的主要内容；2．用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：（1）支持或反对这种收费；（2）用2﹣3个理由或论据支撑你的观点．【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届江苏省苏锡常镇四市高三教学情况调研（二）英语试题答案1.

Recently, 117 schools in Qujiang District, Zhejiang Province, have included a bow ceremony or "zuoyi（作揖礼）in the teaching content, requiring teachers and students to meet and make a bow with hands folded in front.Cheng Junning, an officer from Qujiang District First Middle School, said that for thousands of years, the Chinese people have been using "zuoyi" as a general gesture for hello. To a certain extent, it plays a role in carrying forward the traditional culture and has its value.Dr. Tang Lap Kwong from the Chinese University of Hong Kong said he was “very e xcited to see this and hope they will insist on it in the future" in an interview with the Chinanews. He said it is a good idea to promote Chinese traditional culture in schools. People have to respect the culture.However, opinions split online. Not seeing the value of the movement, some netizens argue that promoting the bow ceremony in schools is just formalism. Teachers and students are so familiar with each other that they usually greet or wave when they meet, which is relatively normal. So it is not necessary to make a bow for them.［写作内容］1.用约30个单词概述上述信息的主要内容；2.你对在校园推广行作揖礼持什么观点？请说明理由（不少于两点）。
