Grammar and vocabulary

Section A

Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

( A )

Is It Safe to Fly With an Infant on Your Lap?

Federal (联邦的) transportation safety officials are using the deadly crash of an overloaded plane in Montana to restore

(25) ______________ long-standing debate about whether small children should be allowed to travel on the laps (大腿部) of adults.

The 10-seater plane crashed as it (26) ______________( land ) in Butte in March 2009, killing all 14 people aboard, including seven children. Investigators say that several of the children were found far from the plane, suggesting that they weren t properly restrained.

The National Transportation Safety Board is asking regulators to require all passengers to have their own seats and seat belts, including children under the age of 2,who(27) ______________ ( allow ) to sit on an adult s lap now.

The crash was so severe that it s unlikely anybody would have survived even with proper restraints, (28) ______________ the accident renews the NTSB s longstanding concerns about the restraints, the recommendation reads.

The FAA (联邦航空局) agrees that the safest place for a child on a flight is in a seat using an(29) ______________ ( approve ) child restraint and not on an adult s lap. But the FAA won t make it a requirement because the agency believes many families with small children wouldn t pay the cost of an extra ticket, and instead would travel by highway, which

statistically is much more dangerous than air travel.

Last decade, the FAA considered(30) ______________( change ) the rule, but decided against it, (31) ______________ ( refer ) to statistics (统计数字) from 2004 showing nearly 43,000 people died on U.S. highways, compared to 13 on commercial flights.

What we found was (32) ______________ there were some parents who would be sensitive to price and they would choose to drive instead of fly, FAA spokeswoman Alison Duquette said. We would be forcing them into automobiles, which are less safe.

( B )

Computers and Girls

The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of (33) ______________ the researchers call a major new gender gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women says, Girls tend to be (34) ______________ ( comfortable ) than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which (35)

______________( understand) information.

After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University Women researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls constantly rate (36) ______________ significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys (37) ______________ the classroom.

The instructor of this computer lab says he s already noticed some differences. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, Boys are not so afraid that they might do something that will harm the computer, (38) ______________girls are afraid they might break it somehow.

The software company Purple Moon says it has found what girls want --- characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what s going on in their own lives. Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says, What we have definitely found from girls is that there is no essential reason (39) ______________ they wouldn t want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing.

The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this --- the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the

boys (40) ______________ be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century.

Section B

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Scientific breakthroughs mean that life expectancy continues to rise every year. But the medical advances which now make it possible to think about living to a very great age --- if not forever --- also raise profound practical and ethical issues.

Is immortality (永生) a realistic __41__?

Not for the foreseeable future. In last year s Reith lectures, the gerontologist (老年病学家) Professor Tom Kirkwood firmly quashed (打消) the idea that genetic engineering might result in some kind of fountain of youth . Considering how __42__slow the battles against cancer, heart disease and strokes have been, he said, it is fanciful to imagine that we could conquer death. On the other hand, scientists do now understand more about why we age, and what can be done to slow down the process. Our ancestral genes placed limited __43__on long-term maintenance and repair, says Kirkwood.

Ageing comes about through the gradual build-up of __44__ faults in the cells and tissues of our bodies, not as the result of some active mechanism for death and destruction. The __45__ , then, is to help the body repair the damage done by wear and tear.

How can that be done?

In many different ways, some of which are already pretty common. Organ transplants from pigs and monkeys are now old news --- the American politician Jesse Helms has just had a ten-year-old pig valve (瓣膜) in his heart __46__. Doctors have succeeded in __47__computerized implants directly to nerve fibres, allowing the deaf to hear, and there is hope that electrodes (电极) planted in the brain may soon offer hope for the blind to see. But the real __48__at the moment lies in the field of stem cells --- special cells that allow lizards (蜥蜴) to grow new tails and humans to grow new skin over __49__cuts. If scientists can learn how to control these cells, they could be used to reproduce parts of the body that are __50__.

Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each

blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Since Alzheimer s disease (阿尔茨海默病)and Parkinson s disease (帕金森病) are common and many notable people have developed them, they have received more public attention.

Alzheimer s Disease

Many people imagine that Alzheimer s disease, the degenerative (退化的) disorder that eventually leaves sufferers with total memory loss, is an inevitable result of aging. This is not so. While the risks of contracting the disease increase with age, there are many elderly people whose memories are perfect. Most of us are so ill-__51__ about all forms of memory loss that we label everything as Alzheimer s . Alzheimer s disease itself can affect people as young as 30 and can progress either quickly or slowly. It can also __52__ the blame for other non-degenerative conditions such as deep depression. __53__, only an examination of the brain tissue during an autopsy (解剖) can produce an accurate __54__ of the disease.

The causes of Alzheimer s are unknown. They may be either __55__ or environmental. A study in 1996 of 13,000 people whose parents or siblings had the disease showed they had five times __56__ chance of passing away by the age of 80

than those with no family history of the problem.

__57__, there are other factors. In a study of identical twins, it was found that only about half of the twin pairs developed Alzheimer s and, when both twins __58__ it, they did so as much as 15 years apart. The possibility that environment plays a part was boosted by another 1996 study, this time of two groups of elderly Japanese men. One group lived in Hawaii, the other group in Japan. The Hawaiian group had a much higher incidence of the disease.

Aluminum (铝) has been blamed for the development of Alzheimer s. This is because a high level aluminum has been found in the brains of sufferers. The disease was first diagnosed at the beginning of the 20th century. It was at this time that aluminum was becoming widely __59__ for use in cooking pots.

Memory loss, __60__ in performing familiar tasks, and problems with abstract thinking are all indicators of the beginning of the disease. One unusual feature is its impact on language. It attacks nouns first, then verbs. Grammar is one of the last things to go.

Parkinson s Disease

Parkinson s disease (PD) is a progressive disorder of the

central nervous system which __61__ more than one million Americans. Individuals with PD lack the substance dopamine (多巴胺), which is __62__ for the central nervous system s control of muscle activity. Parkinson s Disease is often characterized by shake, inflexibility in limbs and joints, speech disability and difficulty in __63__ physical movement. Late in the course of the disease, some patients develop dementia (痴呆症) and eventually Alzheimer s disease. __64__, some Alzheimer patients develop symptoms of Parkinson s disease. Medications such as levodopa (左多巴), which changes itself into dopamine once inside the brain, which prevents degeneration of dopamine-containing neurons (神经细胞), are used to improve diminished or __65__ motor symptoms in PD patients, but do not correct the mental changes that occur.

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

( A )

The stylistic innovation in painting known as Impressionism began in the 1870 s. The Impressionists wanted to depict (描绘) what they saw in nature, but they were inspired to portray incomplete moments by the increasingly fast pace

of modern life. They concentrated on the play of light over objects, people, and nature, breaking up seemingly solid surfaces, stressing vivid contrast between colors in sunlight and shade, and depiction reflected light in all of its possibilities. Unlike earlier artists, they did not want to observe the world from indoors. They abandoned the studio, painting in the open air and recording spontaneous(自然的)impressions of their subjects instead of making outside sketches and then moving indoors to complete the work from memory.

Some of the impressionists painting methods were affected by technological advances. For example, the shift from the studio to the open air was made possible in part by the arrival of cheap rail travel, which permitted easy and quick access to the countryside or seashore, as well as by newly developed chemical dyes and oils that led to folding paint tubes, which enabled artists to finish their paintings on the spot.

Impressionism acquired its name not from supporters but from angry art lovers who felt threatened by the new painting. The term Impressionism was born in 1874, when a group of artists who had been working together organized an exhibition of their paintings in order to draw public attention

to their work. Reaction from the public and press was immediate, and derisive (嘲笑的). Among the 165 paintings exhibited was one called Impression: Sunrise, by Claude Monet (1840-1926).Viewed through hostile eyes, Monet s painting of a rising sun over a misty, watery scene seemed messy, hurried, and an insult to good taste. Borrowing Monet s title, art critics extended the term Impressionism to the entire exhibit. In response, Monet and his 29 fellow artists in the exhibit adopted the same name as a symbol of their unity, despite individual differences. From then until 1886 Impressionism had all the enthusiasm for a church , as the painter Renoir put it. Monet was faithful to the Impressionist belief until his death, although many of the others moved on to new styles.

66. Which of the following was one of the distinguishing characteristics of Impressionist painting according to the passage?

A. The emphasis on people rather than nature scenes.

B. The way the subjects were presented from multiple angles.

C. The focus on small solid objects.

D. The depiction of the effects of light and color.

67. The exhibition of paintings organized in 1874 resulted in all of the following EXCEPT___________.

A. attracting attention from the public

B. a negative reaction from the press

C. an immediate demand for the paintings exhibited

D. creating a name for a new style of painting

68. Which of the following caused the rejection of the impressionist exhibition?

A. The small number of paintings on display.

B. Lack of interest in exhibitions by young artists.

C. The similarity between all the paintings exhibited.

D. Anger about seemingly poorly painted art.

69. What aspect of painting in the nineteenth century does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The impact of some artists resistance to the fast pace of life.

B. The differences between two major styles of art.

C. A technological advance in the materials used by artists.

D. A group of artists with a new technique and approach to art.

( B )

70. Which of the following is correct according to the web page?

Athletes and teams are battling for 42 places in qualifying competitions.

Qualification can be achieved according to the world rankings of the athletes.

All qualified athletes who have earned places will be sent to the Rio Olympics.

The qualification system for football is determined by IOC.

71. When you click on the sports, you will probably read the following information EXCEPT ___________.

the Olympic qualification system for each of the 42 sports

the list of the countries that have qualified for the Olympics

the official release of the qualifying competitions results the world rankings of the athletes in previous years

72. Which of the following about a quota place for the Olympics is NOT correct?

Each nation must earn a quota place to send athletes to the Olympic Games.

It is possible that unplaced athletes will win quota places for the Olympic Games.

A quota place guarantees the athlete who earns it will be competing in the Olympic Games.

Each National Olympic Committee makes the final decision on which athlete to fill the quota.

( C )

The Federal Communications Commission (联邦通讯委员会) (FCC) Chairman Kevin Martin just relaunched the formal review of media ownership rules. The agency s Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, issued July 25, is vague, but its intention is clear: to let a few giant media corporations swallow up more local television channels, radio stations and newspapers in a single market. Martin s main target is the ban on newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership that prohibits one company from owning the major daily newspaper as well as radio and TV stations in the same area. He d also like to allow one company to own more than one TV station in smaller markets, and more than two in the largest cities. A few powerful firms in major cities have won waivers (弃权) to the ban, or at least delays on enforcement, but those are the exceptions.

That D j vu you re feeling is because the FCC tried to push through the same rule changes in 2003 under then-Chairman Michael Powell. In response, millions of people --- encouraged by groups such as the National Rifle Assn. and the National Organization for Women --- contacted the FCC and Congress to voice their opposition. The FCC approved the rule changes anyway, only to see them nearly overturned by Congress and then rejected by the courts. Despite the overwhelming public opposition, Martin s latest attempt to eliminate cross-ownership rules is driven by the massive lobbying (游说) of a cartel (企业联盟) of second-tier big media companies specializing in newspaper and broadcast station ownership, such as Gannett, Media General and Tribune. Their motive is bigger profits.

But what s good for Big Media s bottom line isn t always good for the rest of us. The first victim of media company towns would be journalism. When one firm owns most of a city s news outlets, who needs a bunch of competing newsrooms? Investigative reporting and extensive local coverage requires a costly staff. It s far cheaper to syndicate (出售给多个媒体) fare from headquarters than to support a diversity of local voices. If your readers and viewers don t like it,

广州市2020年高三第二次模拟考试英语试题及答案

广州市2020年高三第二次模拟考试 英语 第二部分阅读理解(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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 WENQIANG A We can all think of times when people didn't make remembering easy. Directions given at machine-gun speed. New people introduced in a flood of names and handshakes. Whenever information is passed between people, it’s all too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and you’ll see parents who can get their children to rem ember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to imprint their sales messages on our brains. So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and engagement. FOCUS means ensuring that the person you’re talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope. IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people “see”the ideas you’re giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors. REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protectthem from embarrassment, or let them enjoy a particular experience or event. EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them laugh. The next time you’ve got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You’ll discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people’s memories into action. 21. What is the main purpose of the text? A.To report new research. B.To provide some advice. C.To explain a problem. D.To define some terms. 22. How can you do to help a listener “focus” on w hat you are saying? A.Select the appropriate time to raise the topic. B.Do something humorous to get their attention. C.Make sure the information provided is correct.
