They play with pencils, talk out of turn, and jump to do things before thinking. Others can sit still but find it hard to focus on classwork. They may daydream, struggle to organize their work and forget to do assignments.Most people feel restless or unglued from time to time, but some feel this way almost all the time. Nearly one out of ten kids have ADHD ( Attention-Deficit /Hyperactivity Disorder ). But ADHD does not have to be a roadblock to achievement. Here, two professionals in their fields share the secrets of their success.Astronaut Scott Kelly has flown on four space tasks, including one that lasted close to a year. But when he was growing up, he had trouble focusing in school. As a result, he earned low grades. 441 read a novel in college about the space program. The book motivated me to study harder and become a much better student and eventually, an astronaut. The lesson I learned was: Don't give up on yourself. Find something or someone that motivates you and use that to help motivate yourself.Figure skater Zachary Donohue placed fourth for ice dancing at the 2018 Winter Olympics. In elementary school, Zachary had a hard time making friends because his classmates thought lie was wild, overly excitable and lacking orderly continuity. "A lot of very successful people have ADHD, so wear it with pride. When I was 16, I realized that it was OK for me to be different than others. Now, at 27, I'm learning to understand my own feelings. I still struggle with ADHD, but I've learned that I'm responsible for more than just myself. I've learned how important it is to be organized and to be a step ahead.

"They were very simple. It was just cherry branches. " Miller said. " We didn't disclose the location(位置)so nobody could necessarily go and find them. But plenty of people did find them and then they found his Inslagram information. A post with pictures of the "flower flash" as Miller calls them has gotten more than 16,000 likes in less than a day. u Listen, Pm kind of bored. I'm a creative person. I did something new and it took off, '' Miller said. 44 It still surprises me reading the comments from yesterday like really how much it feeds peopled souls.Miller has been dotting Manhattan with floral sunrises for a few years with his arrangements popping out of those New York City hot dog carts (推车)and even construction equipment." And the combination of which is so hard aggressive, compared with flowers which are the exact opposite of that, " Miller said.V ogue magazine once wrote about him but it's the reaction from the public many of whom have been restricted inside for weeks that he values most."If you can just stop, pause and just have one second of joy — that's amazing because that's one of the things that's so lacking and it's hard," Miller said.As one person on Instagram put it, New York City rubbish has never looked so pretty.(1)(2分)Who are the floral installations mainly intended for?A.Medical workers.B.Busy pedestrians.C.Cleaning staff.D.Very important persons.(2)(2分)What do the citizens think of Miller's idea of the floral installations?A.Boring.B.Hopeful.C.Valuable.D.Admirable.(3)(2分)The design is creative because .A.it is simple B.it is made of rubbishC.it pops out of a rubbish can D.it is the symbol of New York City(4)(2分)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.Street ArtB.A Big SurpriseC.Lewis Miller's Creation Is AmazingD.Flower Flash Brightens Streets4.(8分)阅读理解One of the most traditional British holidays is the seaside holiday. Typically, families travel to British seaside towns.In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn't very good, even in summer-In the 1980s and 1990s, British young people became more wealthy. They started to go abroad in groups. Once at their destination they socialised with other young people and had one long party.British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. The UK now has a warmer j climate than before, so people don't always feel they need to go overseas. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economies(经济)rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than before. The domestic (国内的)tourism industry — when people go on holiday in their own country —is healthier than it has been in decades. UK newspapers have even invented a new word : a "staycation".In some ways, therefore, the UK has come full circle. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography, which ranges from the flat fens (沼泽)ofEast Anglia to the valleys of Wales to the mountains of Scotland, which is diverse. And it is not just the diversity of climate-based activities on offer, which range from surfing in the warm southwest of England, to hillwalking and skiing in the north, it is also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists. People forget sometimes that there are different accents, languages, traditions, cuisines and peoples across all the parts of the UK.(1)(2分)Why do more British people take their holidays in their own country?A.The Internet makes them closer.B.They are wealthier and more sociable.C.The global climate is getting much warmer.D.The expense on foreign holidays is unsteady.(2)(2分)What does the underlined word "staycation" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.A vacation spent at home.B.A healthier style of living.C.A new way to spend holiday.D.A fashionable tourism industry.(3)(2分)Which is the best heading that matches Paragraph 5 ?A.Flights of fancy.B.Sun, sea and sand.C.The length and width.D.Footloose and fancy-free.(4)(2分)What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?A.To prove the UK has diverse scenery.B.To show the UK starts to discover itself.C.To tell the development of the United Kingdom.D.To explain why the British spend holidays inland.二、任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) (共1题;共10分)5.(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。

AThis famous site features one of the largest and mostrepresentative collections of Buddhist architecture and artin China.It was rated as a 5A-class tourist attraction in2010.The Lingshan Grand Buddha is an 88-meter-highopen-air bronze statue of Sakyamuni.It is 17 metershigher than the Grand Buddha at Leshan Mountain.It ispart of the pattern of Five Buddhas in five directionstogether with the Big Buddha at Lantau Island in Hong Kong to the south,the Grand Buddha at Leshan Mountain to the west,the Grand Buddha in Y ungang Caves to the north and the Grand Buddha at the Longmen Caves in the central area.At the feet of the Grand Buddha,you can feel the loftiness(雄伟)and dignity of Buddhism.Tips:Location:Lingshan Road,Mashan town,Binhu district,WuxiTickets:Through ticket:210 yuan($31.85),and free tickets for the performance of Ode to Auspiciousness for individual visitorsOpening hours for Lingshan Mountain:7:00—17:00Opening hours for Brahma Palace:9:00—18:00Recommendations:The Nine-Dragon FountainThe Nine-Dragon Fountain in front of the giant Buddha will start to play music and the song,The Birth of Buddha,at 10 am every day.A huge lotus(莲花)slowly blooms with six petals,and a 7-meter golden statue of Prince Buddha rises from the lotus,with one hand pointing to the sky and one hand at the earth,symbolizing Buddha’s light shining on all things.The Brahma PalaceThe whole palace shows the mixture of traditional cultural elements with Western architectural features.Many cultural heritage items and art works can be found there.Its splendid design surprises every visitor.1.What is the Lingshan Grand Buddha famous for?A.Its typical collections of architecture and art.B.Its special material.C.Its geographical location.D.Its long history.2.What do we know about the performance of Ode to Auspiciousness?A.It lasts 10 hours for visitors.B.It costs 210 yuan at least.C.It’s available only for group visitors.D.It’s free if you get a through ticket.3.Why does the writer recommend the Brahma Palace to us?A.It’s in front of the giant Buddha.B.Its design and collections are amazing.C.Visitors can enjoy a huge lotus there.D.Many traditional cultural items are on sale.BBradley McConachie,a 33-year-old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University.He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Beijing University two years ago.Such an academic life was colorful with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project,“I'm in China”.Bradley was lucky to win the most“likes”for his photo story about his life in China and became one of 20 winners to visit locations by the project this summer.All the winners’experiences were filmed to produce a reality show,My Chinese Working Day,which will be broadcast by mid-September.Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding.The filmcrew took them to many“amazing sites”and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to incorporate modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs.“I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable:the helicopter ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China,”he said.That was Bradley’s first time to be in a helicopter,and he was too absorbed with the “stunning”view of the coastline.“I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer.I think so many Australians,when they think about China,imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places,like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series.It was nice to experience these little touches.I was happy to be a part of that experience!”Bradley said.4.What made Bradley’s life more colorful?A.Obtaining his PhD.B.The cultural exchanges project.C.The research about Beijing University.D.The interest in international relations.5.Why was Bradley given the chance?A.He produced the reality show.B.His life in China was interesting.C.He was one of the top 20 winners.D.He liked photo stories most.6.Which of the following best explains“stunning”in Paragraph 4? A.Fantastic.B.Confusing.C.Agreeable.D.Extreme.7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.It’s difficult to produce moving TV series.B.Beijing and Shanghai are historical sites.C.Sanya is worth visiting for foreigners.D.Many Australians know little about China.CAt a time when industries are under greater pressure to reduce costs and increase efficiencies,more production facilities are turning to digital sensing technology to provide the real-time insights they need for improved performance.What if one digital sensor could measure multiple signals?Yokogawa’s DPharp(差压传送器)digital technology has the unique ability to measure two pressure parameters(参数),delivering reliable and accurate measurement of plant operations.The unique aspect of this digital technology is that it measures two parameters in one sensor module,providing additional insight into a plant’s operations.It is the only sensor in the world that does this.DPharp transmitters(发射器)use silicon(硅)resonant(谐振的)sensor technology to measure both differential(差别)and still pressure.The sensor consists of two H—shaped crystal silicon resonators that shake at a certain frequency and,when pressure is applied,the frequency of one resonator increases while the other decreases.By monitoring these frequencies digitally,both differential and still pressure can be measured at the same time.The frequency output is directly read by the central processing unit of the transmitter.DPharp can be used in any processing plant across any industry—from oil and gas to food and drinks.DPharp’s unique digital sensing technology allows engineering firms and plant engineers to create designs that will equate to an average reduction of 40 percent.Where they would typically use five measuring devices,they are using three by using the multi-sensing technology.That is a significant cost reduction in the number of devices installed and the added benefit is that,as there are less devices,the engineering and design is less complex,which means less materials and less equipment to maintain.Furthermore,there are fewer transmitter spares required,which reduces costs.Tony Farah,Product Manager,said that more organisations are seeing the significant benefits of smart devices like DPharp.8.What is special about DPharp digital technology?A.It provides the real-time insights.B.It brings significant changes in engineering.C.It measures two parameters in one sensor.D.It provides accurate measurement.9.What is the frequency output read by?A.Two H-shaped crystal silicon resonators.B.The central processing unit of the transmitter.C.Monitoring devices.D.The operator of the plant.10.What is the plants’attitude to DPharp? A.Cautious.B.Ambiguous.C.Favorable.D.Disapproving.11.What is the text mainly about?A.How DPharp is bringing value across production plants.B.How sensor works in a different way.C.Why DPharp is efficient and reliable.D.Where DPharp can be used.DLast year,the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 55 million people in the U.S.are “gig workers”which is more than 35 percent of the U.S.workforce.That number is projected to jump to 43 percent by 2020.People are drawn to gig work(零工)because it brings in a little extra income without a major time commitment.And recent technologies like Skype,Slack,and Dropbox have made the gig life a reality,giving you maximum freedom,an ideal work-life balance,and the chance to pursue your passions.If you’re thinking of joining the gig economy,it’s never been easier.One of the great things about the gig economy is that you don’t have a boss breathing down your neck.As a freelancer,you no longer have to cater to a company culture or work schedule that might cause physical or emotional stress.Instead,you get to choose the type of work you do and who you work with.But this degree of freedom requires a corresponding amount of discipline.With no boss to make sure you’re on task,it’s all on you.A lot of gig workers start their careers by hopping on a project because the employer is desperate and in need of help.On the employer’s end,it’s tough to take on people for higher management positions when the pool of talent is full of gig workers who haven’t been given an opportunity to improve their skills.Businesses have to evolve to learn how to account for an influx(涌入)of temporary workers.It is harder for gig workers to become skilled and get promoted.The workforce is becoming more advanced and educated by the day.You have to keep learning and keep up with industry trends to maintain a competitive edge.This is true even for people in traditional office settings,but it’s critical if you’re your own boss.12.What made the gig life a reality?A.Greater work-life balance.B.New technologies.C.A little extra money.D.Maximum freedom.13.What does the underlined phrase“breathing down your neck”in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Making you unable to breathe freely.B.Standing very close behind you.C.Threatening you by saying something.D.Monitoring you closely.14.What can we infer from the last but one paragraph?A.Employers should invest in training the temporary workers.B.Gig workers start their jobs out of passion.C.It’s hard for employers to employ people for higher positions.D.It’s hard for gig workers to develop skills.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Strengths and Weaknesses of the Gig EconomyB.The Challenges of the Gig EconomyC.The Increase of the Gig EconomyD.The Reason for the Gig Economy第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

See you sooner.Ⅱ.阅读理解A2020·淄博校级联考说明文298词★★★☆☆Air travel make it much worse. To get off the ground in really hot weather, planes may be forced to carry fewer passengers. That might mean a little more space, which would be good. However, it also would make the passengers pay more.Average air temperatures around the world are rising because people are polluting the air with an increasing number of greenhouse gases, which, such as carbon dioxide, are a byproduct (副产品) of burning fuels. Those warmer temperatures can influence an airplane's ability to fly because air molecules (分子) spread out more as the air warms. This produces less lift under a plane's wings, so a plane must be lighter to take off in hot weather than on cooler days.It can even prove too dangerous for some planes to attempt a take-off. A record of June heat wave in the American Southwest, for instance, caused flight cancellations in Phoenix, Ariz. One airline's planes were cleared to operate only up to 47.8 degree Celsius. On June 20, Phoenix reached 48.3 ℃!Radley Horton is a climate scientist at Columbia University. Two years ago, he and his graduate student Ethan David Coffel studied the impact of warming at four U.S. airports and found that warming of track could triple(使成三倍) the number of days when planes face weight restrictions. Later, they explored the impact of rising temperatures on live types of commercial planes flying out of 19 of the world's busiest airports. In the coming decades, as many as one to three out of every 10 flights that take off during the hottest time of day could face weight. That would be equal to taking a dozen people off the plane, the researchers calculated.1.How would global warming affect air travel according to the first paragraph?A.It'll add to the danger of flying. B.It'll increase passengers' travel cost.C.It'll make flying much more comfortable. D.It'll encourage more people to travel by plane.2.What is the second paragraph actually intended to explain?A.How global warming is happening. B.What decides a plane's ability to fly.C.Why global warming affects flying. D.Where greenhouse gases are created.3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.Reasons for flight cancellation. B.The findings of a weight-related research.C.The tendency of temperature change. D.Effects of hot air on financial growth.4.What should be the best title for the text?A.Air Travel Isn't Recommended during Hot WeatherB.Rising Temperatures May Reduce the Number of FlightsC.Weight Restrictions Are More Common in More AirportsD.Hotter Air May Lead to Planes Carrying Fewer PassengersB2020·南昌二模议论文304词★★★☆☆statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.In fact, I was a victim of a gender_stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It's great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. It's a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code and these days it's as important as reading and writing. I've realized that at university I'd achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don't want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I'm exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. I'm hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials in science and want to change the world.5.What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Personal learning style. B.Sex characteristic.C.Conventional sex concept. D.Profession difference.6.According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?A.Increasing job possibility. B.Winning popularity.C.Improving language competence. D.Enriching imagination.7.How did the author feel for her major choice?A.Satisfied. B.Active.C.Discouraged. D.Regretful.8.What may be the best title for the text?A.Art or Science, Either is OK B.Good Subjects, Good FutureC.Girls, Choose More Wisely D.Catch Chances, Change the World黄金考点练习33短文改错+阅读理解Ⅰ.短文改错答案:Thank you for your letter, what①whichreally made me happy.

Cleaning up our polluted world of plastic may seem a noble, but thankless task. However, some people are seeing economic opportunity in the mission.Plastic Bank, a social enterprise from Canada, is monetizing plastic recycling while empowering those most affected by the waste. It works to prevent waste plastic from entering oceans by encouraging people in developing countries to collect plastic from their communities in exchange for cash, food, clean water or school tuition for their children. After collection, plastic is weighed, sorted, chipped, melted into balls and sold on as“raw material”to be made into everything from bottles for cleaning products to clothing.“I saw in large quantities; I saw an opportunity,”CEO David Katz told the audience at the Sustainable Brands Oceans conference in Porto, Portugal on November 14.“We reveal the value in this material,”he added.Plastic Bank was founded in 2013 and launched on the ground operations in 2014 in Haiti, the poorest country in the Western, Hemisphere, where close to 60% of the population live under the poverty line. As result of poor waste disposal and recycling infrastructure (基础设施),plastic waste enters rivers or is burned and poses the health threats to the local residents.The company says i has over 2,000 collectors working in the country, with its full- time collectors on average 63% above the poverty line thanks to the income they make from the project. Through its app based payment system, many collectors now have bank accounts for the first time, and are able to ultimately escape ultra poverty.“Nothing we're doing is against the laws of physics,”said Katz. “All the technology exists for us to solve and save the world. It's only creative thought.”8. What is Plastic Bank aimed to do?A. Test out creative ideas.B. Discover new material.C. Promote plastic recycling.D. Stop people using plastic.9. Which of the following shows the process of monetizing in Paragraph 2?A. Purchasing- collecting—recycling.B. Exchanging collecting—purchasing.C. Collecting- exchanging—reproducing.D. Persuading consuming—reproducing.10. What do the numbers in Paragraph 5 indicate?A. Haiti attaches great importance to recycling.B. Many locals benefit greatly from the project.C. Collecting is an efficient way to recycle waste.D. The project has solved unemployment in Haiti:11. What maybe the best title for the text?A. Companies stand to ban plastic consumptionB. Technology finds its way to kick off povertyC. David Katz speaks at the conference in PortoD. Plastic Bank is fighting against plastic wasteDThey're life jacket orange, they re robots and they're capable of sailing the high seas without human intervention.On Tuesday the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration (NOAA)launched a pair of Saildrones(海洋无人机) in Pacific Northwest waters for thefirst time. Their summer long sailingjourney will stretch from VancouverIsland to California. The Saildroneoperators will collect data to help setfuture fishing seasons. The governmentwants tor see whether seagoing. robots can extend fishery surveys now performed by expensive manned ships.Nora Cohen from NOAA said,“The 23 foot tong seagoing robots can follow a remotely programmed course for up to a year at a time. And they don't require any fuel. We use wind and solar power to drive the sensors.”He added,“It means that we're able to go to places where we don't really want to send people, and go into weather that we really don't want anyone ever to be in, and be able to send back measurements.”The primary mission is to investigate the species and number of fish in existence and the places where they are. Larry Hufnagle, scientist of NOAA Fisheries in Seattle, said a traditional big NOAA research ship-based survey costs around $25,000 per day. By comparison, one Saildrone runs $2,500 per day.“It could be a significant saving,”Hufnagle said. “But like anything else, there is a tradeoff in what you get and what you don't get. On the manned ship, we have limited time. It takes a lot of people. We spend a fair amount of money. But there is one thing the Saildrone can't do that humans can: cast a net to catch and positively identify the fish detected below. The Saildrones are going to give us additional data, not replacement data.”Nora Cohen said Sail Drone, a venture capital-backed company based in Alameda, California, expects to launch a total of 11 of its seagoing robots to survey different water bodies for NOAA this year. The Bering and Arctic seas, coastal California and Gulf of Mexico will be the locations of additional missions.12. What is the purpose of collecting fish data?A. To explore the ocean.B. To assist fishing industry.C. To learn the habits of fish,D. To improve fishing skills13. What is mainly discussed about the Saildrone in Paragraph 3?A. Its advantages.B. Its appearance.C. Its power systems.D. Its primary mission.14.What does the underlined word “tradeoff”in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Debate.B. Reason.C. Reality.D. Balance.15. What can be inferred from the text?A. The Saildrone has a promising future.B. Hufnagle thinks little of the Saildrone.C. Manned ships will be completely replaced.D. Production of seagoing robots is restricted.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

If your friend did a course in marketing management, he may choose a job in a ________.A. 5G technology related marketB. large amphibious aircraftC. BDS-based projectD. China Satellite Navigation OfficeBPut your hand over your heart and sit very still. You may notice that the sound of your heartbeat is similar to the beat of a drum. Your heart starts beating before you are born and continues throughout your life. For this reason, the beating of a drum stands for the rhythm of life for many people around the world.InGhana, a country inAfrica, many schools use drums instead of bells to show the beginning and ending of class. Through the drum, the children ofGhanaalso learn about their history and culture. They hear old stories passed on through the music of the drum. The stories of the drum also teach children games, rules and lessons about behavior.For thousands of years inAfrica, drums have been used to tell stories of daily life and history. Drums told the coming of a king, the start of a war, or the birth of a child. They also allowed people to share messages. But how does a drum tell a story?InWest Africa, the most common drum used for communication is called a “talking drum”. By making higher orlower drum sounds, the drummer can make the drum “talk”.In many African languages, words go up and down in pitch (高音) when they are spoken, almost like a song. Depending on the pitch or tone (音调), the same sound can have many different meanings. For example, when spoken with two low tones, the African word “ilu” means “drum”. When spoken with one high and one low tone, “ilu” means “town”.Drum language works in the same way. Just as in spoken language, the word “ilu” has different meanings depending on how it’s drummed. When “ilu” is drummed with two beats using low tones, the word means “drum”. When “ilu” is drummed with two beats using one high and one low tone, it means “town”.Drummers create “words” to build ideas, sentences and stories. The next time you hear a song, listen for the heartbeat within the music. Can you hear the story of the drum?4. The first paragraph mainly tells us________.A. drums beat like our heartsB. drums have a long historyC. drums are widely used in the worldD. drums are important for many people worldwide5. From the text, we learn that inGhanadrums________.A. are not as useful as beforeB. teach children a lot of thingsC. help bring the war to an endD. are used in class by teachers6. The example of the African word “ilu” is used to show________.A. how a word can have different soundsB. how to speak African languagesC. how a drum tells storiesD. how to beat a drum7. What would be the best title for the text?A. Know the history of the drumB. Listen to the story of the drumC. Beat the drum of lifeD. Love me, love my drumCIdentifying the chemical makeup of pigment (色素) used in ancient documents, paintings, and watercolor1 s is criticalto restoring and conserving the precious artworks. However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color1 manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers fromPortugalhas finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color1 that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.The research team began byporing overinstructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitledThe Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned.However, by piecing together suggestions from the text, the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town ofMonsarazin southPortugal.The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues — including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen (亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment, producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color1 .Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began to determine the dye’s molecular structure. To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes — it was an entirely new class of color1 , one they named chrozophoridin. “Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.” the team wrote in the study. “Thus, we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.”8. The primary purpose of the study is to ________.A. restore and conserve ancient precious artworksB. determine the substance making up the foliumC. prove the ancient dye-making technique was organicD. identify which class of color1 folium belongs to9. The underlined phrase “poring over”in the second paragraph means ________.A. discussing publiclyB. testing repeatedlyC. passing directlyD. reading carefully10. What can be learned about the blue dye folium?A. It was essentially an inferior type of ink.B. It was the only kind made from wild berries.C. It could be carried and used easily.D. It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds.11. The article is mainly about _________.A. how the mystery ofa thousand-year-old blue dye was solvedB. why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dyeC. what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plantD. when and where the discovery of the dye was madeDAs an eco-minimalist, Su Yige has maintained an environmentally friendly and sustainable lifestyle for the past three years while studying in Canada. She takes her own bag when she goes grocery shopping and uses second-hand items as often as possible. She avoids almost all paper-related products unless she has to use a public toilet while away from home.Diligence and thrift are time-honored traditional Chinese virtues. Su's family is a good example of this, according to the native of Weihai, Shandong province. Although they have little formal “green” knowledge, her parents lead a very environmentally friendly life.For example, the family has used the same hair dryer for more than a decade, and Su remembers many of her mother's clothes from as far back as kindergarten. “As long as something can still be used, my mother will not replace it with a new item,” she said.“I frequently asked my father to bring the plastic bag back home after dumping our waste in the trash bin. He was unhappy, and argued that instead of making that request, I should go downstairs to dump the waste myself” she said. In another move, her father criticized her for doing too much shopping online. Eventually, they both made steps toward becoming better environmentalists. Her father brings the bag back for reuse and she has only bought two pieces of clothing online in the past six months.Back in Canada, Su is looking forward to finding a job related to sustainable development in China after she graduates as a computer science major in the summer.12. Which of the following best describes Su Yige?A. Conservative.B. Nostalgic.C. Economical.D. Productive.13. What can be found about Su's mother according to the third paragraph?A. She has a lot of formal green knowledge.B. She regards using the same items as a lifestyle.C. She always wears old clothes due to lack of money.D. She will not replace the old items until they are out of style.14. What can be inferred about Su and her father?A. Both of them like to criticize each other.B. Su's father is particular about her clothes.C. The relationship between them is very tense.D. They urge each other to become more environmentally friendly.15. What can we learn about the author soon after she graduates in Canada?A. She will stay there to look for a job.B. She will put effort into computer science.C. She will devote herself to her motherland's future.D. She will come back to China to stay with her parents.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2020届深圳市第三高级中学高中高三英语模拟试题及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThank you. It’s my great honor to be given this award.You cannot imagine that I have always been a late starter. Years ago, when I was 16, I took an important exam — GCE(General Certificate of Education), which turned out to be a failure. My dad was reading my report card and saw that my position in class was 29th, but the number in class was 29. It meant that I had achieved the distinction of being bottom of my class.I wasn’t lazy, and I was really trying. You can picture how I felt. Dad put his hand on my shoulder and said, “You can only do the best you can, but whatever you decide to do, make sure you love it.” He was a really sweet guy and a great man. I knew his attempt to hide his disappointment with some of his encouraging words. I was depressed for a week, but his advice was a wake-up call.Fortunately I love working with my hands, and I was good at two things: woodwork and art, and I really loved to draw and paint. I was quite talented. Dad strongly encouraged me to go to art school, which in those days wasn’t the obvious place that a father would suggest.So I got into Hartlepool College of Art. The college was a revelation (出乎意料), the passionate teachers there, who were extremely interested in the students, not just tolerating them but actually engaging with them. It was a world apart from my schooling until then. It’s extraordinary what an enthusiastic teacher can do, drawing the student out, lighting independence, and encouraging a design of your own future, rather than waiting for something to happen. I’m honored to have become one of these passionate teachers years later.My teachers inspired me, and thanks to my dad, here I am tonight. I think I should mention all the talents I have worked with over time, and to my kids and my wife Giannina, thank you.Thank you for this great award. I shall find a very special place for it.1. How did the author feel after taking GCE?A. Happy.B. Upset.C. Tired.D. Relieved.2. What didHartlepoolCollege of Art impress the author most?A. The teachers were strict with students.B. The students set good examples for each other.C. The teachers inspired students’ passion for learning.D. The students got prepared for their lessons independently.3. The author gave this speech to ________.A. share his career choiceB. explain his teaching methodsC. describe his life experienceD. show his appreciationBWe touch our faces all the time, and it had never seemed to be a big problem—until COVID-19 arrived. Touching our faces—the "T-zone" of our eyes, nose and mouth in particular—can mean giving ourselves the deadly virus.This is why organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have suggested that we avoid touching our faces. "Just stop this simple behavior," William Sawyer, founder of Henry the Hand, a nonprofit organization that promotes hand hygiene (卫生), told The Washington Post. "It's the one behavior that would be better than any vaccine (疫苗) ever created."Yet, stopping this "simple" behavior might be harder than you think because it's already hardwired (固定存在于) into our system.Some face touchingis an automatic reflex (反射) —like when there is an itch (痒) on your nose, you'll scratch (挠) it without thinking. According to CNBC, a 2014 study found that touching your face also helps to reduce stress and regulate emotions. For example, you're more likely to do it when you feel awkward or embarrassed. According to Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California Berkeley, US, this action may also come with a social function: When you are talking to someone and want to change the subject, for example, touching your face is like "the curtains on a stage, closing up one act of the social drama, ushering (引导) in the next," Keltner told the BBC.Moreover, face-touching in almost all of these occasions is subconscious, which means it's very hard to change "because you don't even know you're doing it", said Sawyer. But you're not alone. In a 2015 study, wherea group of medical students were filmed in class, it was found that they touched their faces an average of 23 times an hour—with 44 percent of the touches being in the "T-zones". That was particularly surprising since medical students were supposed to know better.Since it's so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often. This way, wecan be sure that our hands are free from the novel coronavirus.4. What do the first two paragraphs talk about?A. The best way to fight COVID-19B. How organizations are fighting COVID-19.C. Typical hand hygiene problems in the fight against COVID-19.D. The necessity to avoid touching our faces to fight COVID-19.5. Why is it hard for people to stop touching their faces?A. It makes people feel more confident.B. Many are unaware of this behavior's risks.C. They usually do it automatically and subconsciouslyD. Many think the action helps them express their emotions.6. Which of the following is a social function of touching faces, according to the text?A. Using it as a sign to change the topicB. Bringing a conversation to an end.C. Showing an interest in the ongoing subject.D. Making others feel relaxed while talking.7. What is the author's purpose in mentioning a 2015 study on a group of medical students?A. To give tips on how to stop touching faces.B. To prove that it is common for people to touch their faces.C. To show it is impossible to shake the habit of touching your face.D. To show how hygiene awareness helps people avoid touching their faces.CWhen a fire broke out in my home in the middle of the night, I knew I'd do anything I could to save my family. The medicine that I take for my rheumatoid arthritis causes me to wake up inthe middle of the night with a dry mouth. January 15, 2016, was no different. I, Indiana, US, awoke at 2:30am needing water.I was walking back upstairs from the kitchen when I heard my bulldog , Rock. Whatever Rock was doing down there, it made enough noise for me to go to him. By the time I made it to the bottom of the stairs, he was running up, and he never came up the stairs, no matter what. I think that was his way of telling me, "We've got to go back up. "When I got to the top of the stairs, I turned around and saw a light on, but I didn't remember leaving one on. I walked downstairs again, and that's when I saw fire. I immediately shouted to my wife to wake up and get ourthree kids. I grabbed a knife and cut out the plastic that covered the window to the porch roof. I then pried open the window and kicked out the screen. I started screaming for help. But help never came. I got everybody out on the roof and threw a blanket out there so we wouldn't slip off. It was cold, January cold. Then I started screaming for help. But help never came.Now, I'm scared of heights and have physical issues, what with my rheumatoid arthritis, but I couldn't let my family burn up. So I jumped off the roof. I didn't scoot to the edge; I just jumped and got the wind knocked out of me when I landed. I found our ladder, placed it against the house, and climbed back up to the roof. I wrapped my arms around my daughter and carried my nine - month - old with my teeth, by his little sleeper. Then I climbed down the ladder.

It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above inEnglandandScotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besidesthe named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn’t. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket(球拍)sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.In addition to this, the study didn’t find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead? Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.Being active helps you feel happier and live longer.

The policy was one of several new principles aimed at guiding the company’s development and sale of AI technology and tools.The principles were announced after more than 3,000 Google employees signed a document calling for the company to cancel an AI agreement, known as Project Maven, with the U. S. Department of Defense.Kirk O. Hanson is the director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University in California. The center examines how ethics can be used as guidelines for technology development. He decided that the protest by Google employees against the U. S. military agreement was based on fears that AI technology could lead to the creation of weapons which might cause disasters to humans.“If you have artificial intelligence which identifies targets and automatically launches weapons, you have an autonomous weapon. Just as with driverless vehicles, autonomous weapon systems may not be as safe as their supporters promise. We should be more concerned about how an autonomous weapon might make a mistake. Is that artificial intelligence targeting system as good as we think it is? And until we have trust that those systems will not make mistakes, we’re going t o keep skeptical about the use of artificial intelligence.”A top Department of Defense official was asked about the use of autonomous weapons during an event last year at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Air Force General Paul J. Selva, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said such systems should never be used to replace human commanders.Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the company does not plan to stop providing AI technology for all military uses.
