B In my everyday life, I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet. A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment, in particular climate change. It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in our daily lives. Fortunately, 5 nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices than, let's say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lot lately: is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods? After doing some research, I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used. Let me try to explain. A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprint and the secondary footprint. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions(排放)of carbon dioxide(CO2)from the burning of fuels, including household energy consumption and transportation. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use-those related to their production and breakdown. Based on this understanding, we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint. Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production. However, for the car and the other appliances(设备)that we need we can go with new, energy-saving models. I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory. So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models. The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you. 4. What is the text mainly about? A. What appliances to buy to save energy. B. What a carbon footprint means in our life. C. How to identify different carbon footprints. D. How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices. 5. What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint? A. It is related to our consumption of fuels. B. It is made when we are buying the products. C. It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint. D. It is counted as ours though not directly made by us. 6. Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author? A. Using second-hand textbooks. B. Using old and expensive cars. C. Buying new but cheap clothes. D. Buying new wooden furniture. 7. "The footprint" underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2 produced in _________. A. using the product B. recycling the product C. making the product D. transporting the product 6 C Magic is a form of entertainment that is based on pretending to do things that are impossible. The magician is a specially trained actor. He tries to make the audience believe that he has the power to do things which are against the laws of nature. Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done. The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands, on his knowledge of psychology, and, sometimes, on mechanical devices(机械装置). Since magic performance is meant to trick people, the use of psychology is important. The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment. He must also lead the audience to draw false conclusions. The magician's success depends on the fact that many things seen by the eye are not the things that matter. Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear and making objects seem to disappear. A combination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects. For example, the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour. What actually happens is that the magician, employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device, hides one ball. While doing this he talks to the audience and waves a brightly coloured cloth with one hand. The audience is too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician's words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball. Another favourite trick is to cut or burn something, and then make it appear whole again. What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else. Then he “magically” makes it appear whole again by displaying(展示)another object that has not been cut or burned. 8. What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? A. To promote a magic show. B. To teach people to be magicians. C. To explain the art of magic. D. To praise the talents of magicians. 9. Which of the following is important for a successful magic trick? A. Moving stage equipment. B. Directing the audience's attention. C. Applying high technology. D. Keeping the performance in secret. 10. What does the author focus on in the last two paragraphs? A. Providing examples. B. Making a summary. C. Drawing comparisons. D. Explaining a concept. 11. What can we infer from the text? 7 A. Mechanical devices are expensive. B. Most magicians employ assistants. C. It takes practice to perform magic. D. Small objects are magicians' favourite. D The average bear, it seems, is getting ever smarter. First, it turned out that at least one can use a comb. Now it appears that some can count, too. Jennifer Vonk, of Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, from Georgia State University, set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller groups of dots(点)on a computer screen. In return for a food reward one bear, Brutus, would touch the more heavily dotted pattern with his nose. The others, Bella and Dusty, would touch the screen with their claws(爪子). As the researchers report in Animal Behavior, the bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area. This could be explained by the bears' distinguishing the different areas of colour rather than truly counting the dots. However, the three bears managed to pick out the bigger number of dots even in pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area. Moving patterns, where each dot followed its own path around the screen, were more of a challenge. But Brutus, at least, was not defeated. He seemed to be counting mobile dots even when the scientists tried to mislead him by moving the total coloured area of the dots at the same time. It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food. They are, however, always alone, and so do not have the complex social systems that contribute to animal smarts. Perhaps, then, their maths skill developed because they cannot count on their friends for help. 12. What task did the scientists set for the three bears? A. Distinguishing different dot patterns. B. Figuring out different colours of dots. C. Putting the dots into differently coloured groups. D. Picking out the group with a larger number of dots. 13. For the bears, the task was easier when__________. A. the coloured dots were moving slowly B. the dot patterns were regular in shape C. the dots followed a path on the screen D. more dots covered a larger coloured area 14. What may explain the bears' high degree of intelligence? 8 A. They learn skills from other animals. B. They face life challenges on their own. C. They feed on a diverse range of food. D. They have complex social networks. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Bears Taught to Distinguish Colours B. New Evidence of Bear Intelligence Found C. Three Bears Learned How to Count D.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 12 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________ After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________ 13 2021 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟演练 英语 注意事项: 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改 动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在 本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分听力(共两节，满分 30 分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂 到答题卡上。 第一节(共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分) 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。 听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例:How much is the shirt?

The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use-those related to their production and breakdown. Based on this understanding, we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint. Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production. However, for the car and the other appliances(设备)that we 18 need we can go with new, energy-saving models. I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory. So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models. The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you. 4. What is the text mainly about? A. What appliances to buy to save energy. B. What a carbon footprint means in our life. C. How to identify different carbon footprints. D. How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices. 5. What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint? A. It is related to our consumption of fuels. B. It is made when we are buying the products. C. It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint. D. It is counted as ours though not directly made by us. 6. Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author? A. Using second-hand textbooks. B. Using old and expensive cars. C. Buying new but cheap clothes. D. Buying new wooden furniture. 7. "The footprint" underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2 produced in _________. A. using the product B. recycling the product C. making the product D. transporting the product 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。作者一直努力减少生活中的碳足迹，但是新型环保产品和使用过的传统生产的产品，哪 一种更能减少碳足迹呢？作者通过研究和对比给我们找到了答案：他们各有千秋。 【4 题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段中“Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices(幸运的是，现在更容易选择环保的生活方式)”以及困扰作者的一个问题“is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced ones?(新型环保产品，使用过的传统生产的产品， 选择哪一种更好？) ”再根据第二段一整段的内容，作者通过研究得出答案，有些时候是新型环保产品好， 19 有时候是另一种更好。文章接下来的段落就是分析了作者这个答案是怎样找到的。由此可知，文章主要是 关于怎样选择更环保的生活方式的。故选 D。 【5 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use-those related to their production and breakdown.(第 二种足迹是表示我们使用的产品在整个生命周期中间接排放的二氧化碳，这些是和他们的生产和排放有关 的) ”可知，第二种碳足迹虽然不是我们直接产生的，但是也是我们使用的产品释放出来的，也是要归结到 我们身上的。故选 D。 【6 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production.”可知，像盘子，衣服和家具这样的物品是属于 “第二类型的足迹”，所以是越少越好，我 们应该注重寻找用过的物品来避免额外的生产。二手书是属于和衣服等可以二次使用的物品，符合题意。 故选 A。 【7 题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you. (主要的问题是这些投入在制造新产品时的能源以及这种额外的碳是否值得 它到你手里以后，所产生的碳足迹) ”可知，footprint 在其后定语从句 the product will make once it gets to you 充当 make 的宾语，意思是“这种碳足迹就是产品到你手里之后，你使用中所产生的”。由此推知， 划线词组 the footprint 指的是“产品使用过程中产生的二氧化碳”。故选 A。 C Magic is a form of entertainment that is based on pretending to do things that are impossible. The magician is a specially trained actor. He tries to make the audience believe that he has the power to do things which are against the laws of nature. 20 Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done. The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands, on his knowledge of psychology, and, sometimes, on mechanical devices(机械装置). Since magic performance is meant to trick people, the use of psychology is important. The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment. He must also lead the audience to draw false conclusions. The magician's success depends on the fact that many things seen by the eye are not the things that matter. Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear and making objects seem to disappear. A combination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects. For example, the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour. What actually happens is that the magician, employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device, hides one ball. While doing this he talks to the audience and waves a brightly coloured cloth with one hand. The audience is too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician's words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball. Another favourite trick is to cut or burn something, and then make it appear whole again. What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else. Then he “magically” makes it appear whole again by displaying(展示)another object that has not been cut or burned. 8. What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? A. To promote a magic show. B. To teach people to be magicians. C. To explain the art of magic. D. To praise the talents of magicians. 9. Which of the following is important for a successful magic trick? A. Moving stage equipment. B. Directing the audience's attention. C. Applying high technology. D. Keeping the performance in secret. 10. What does the author focus on in the last two paragraphs? A. Providing examples. B. Making a summary. C. Drawing comparisons. D. Explaining a concept. 11. What can we infer from the text? A. Mechanical devices are expensive. B. Most magicians employ assistants. 21 C. It takes practice to perform magic. D. Small objects are magicians' favourite. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一些魔术师表演的细节以及有关魔术的小技巧。 【8 题详解】 目的意图题。通过对文章主旨大意的理解以及文章最后两端讲述的魔术技巧，可知作者写这篇文章的主要 目的是解释魔法的艺术。故选 C 项。 【9 题详解】 细节理解题。通过第二段“ the use of psychology is important.（心理学的应用是很重要的）”以及“The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment.（魔术师必须防止人们注意到他的手的所有动作和思考他的设备的秘密部分。）”可知，作者强调 对于观众注意力的引导是很重要。故选 B 项。 【10 题详解】 推理判断题。通过倒数第二段“For example the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour.(例如，魔术师把一个小球放在几个杯子中的一个下 面。然后球似乎从一个杯子跳到另一个杯子或改变颜色)”以及最后一段“What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else.(实际发生的是，魔术师通过在观众观看其他东西时迅速隐藏它，使被切割或烧毁的物体消失)”可以推 知，在文章最后两段中，作者举了两个例子。故选 A 项。 【11 题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章第一段“The magician is a specially trained actor.( 魔术师是受过专门训练的演员)”可推 知，表演魔术需要练习。故选 C 项。 D The average bear, it seems, is getting ever smarter. First, it turned out that at least one can use a comb. Now it appears that some can count, too. Jennifer Vonk, of Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, from Georgia State University, set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller groups of dots(点)on a computer screen. In return for a food reward one bear, Brutus, would touch the more heavily dotted pattern with his nose. The others, Bella and Dusty, would touch the screen with their claws(爪子). 22 As the researchers report in Animal Behavior, the bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area. This could be explained by the bears' distinguishing the different areas of colour rather than truly counting the dots. However, the three bears managed to pick out the bigger number of dots even in pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area. Moving patterns, where each dot followed its own path around the screen, were more of a challenge. But Brutus, at least, was not defeated. He seemed to be counting mobile dots even when the scientists tried to mislead him by moving the total coloured area of the dots at the same time. It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food. They are, however, always alone, and so do not have the complex social systems that contribute to animal smarts. Perhaps, then, their maths skill developed because they cannot count on their friends for help. 12. What task did the scientists set for the three bears? A. Distinguishing different dot patterns. B. Figuring out different colours of dots. C. Putting the dots into differently coloured groups. D. Picking out the group with a larger number of dots. 13. For the bears, the task was easier when__________. A. the coloured dots were moving slowly B. the dot patterns were regular in shape C. the dots followed a path on the screen D. more dots covered a larger coloured area 14. What may explain the bears' high degree of intelligence? A. They learn skills from other animals. B. They face life challenges on their own. C. They feed on a diverse range of food. D. They have complex social networks. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Bears Taught to Distinguish Colours B. New Evidence of Bear Intelligence Found C. Three Bears Learned How to Count D. The Smartest American Black Bear Brutus 23 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 本文是说明文。本文介绍了一些新的发现，证明了熊是一种高智商动物。 【12 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“ However, the three bears managed to pick out the bigger number of dots even in pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area.（然而，这三个熊想法设法挑选出有更多点的区域，甚至在 几对只有很少的点却占据很大地方的模式里也能挑选出来)”可知，科学家们给这三只熊安排的任务是挑选出 带点的数量更多的模式。故选 D 项。 【13 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As the researchers report in Animal Behavior the bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area.(正如研究人员在《动物行 为》杂志上所报告的那样，熊最擅长的图案是那些彩色的点不移动，而且更多的点占据了更大的彩色区域)” 可知，熊最擅长的图案是被更多的点覆盖的更大的彩色区域。故选 D 项。 【14 题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food.(熊拥有高度的智力并不完全令人惊讶。他们在获取食物时面临 着很多挑战)”可知熊的高智商表现在它们独自面对生活的挑战。故选 B 项。 【15 题详解】 标题判断题。本文介绍了一些新的发现，为证明熊是一种高智商动物提供了证据，所以文章标题应该是“发 现了证明熊智力的新证据”。故选 B 项。 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。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Apps (short for applications) are becoming increasingly popular nowadays, and for good reason.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________ 35 After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________ 【答案】When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours. The girl said they didn’t have lunch either. She suggested to her parents that we have lunch together. Their truck happened to have some food and some things for the picnic. So we ate together in a vacant lot by the side of the road. During that time, I told about what had happened to me and how I felt. They shared interesting stories about their lives in Mexico and on fruit farms. After lunch, the girl’s mother put a paper bag of fruit in my jeep. I showed my gratitude again and we said goodbye to each other. After they left, I got into my jeep and opened the paper bag. There are some delicate fruits in the paper bag. I was surprised to find the money I had quietly left them. At the same time, there was a note written by a girl, which read “We are very happy to be able to help you. We have encountered many difficulties and been disappointed. But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm. To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger. The beauty of life comes from these lifting a finger. I hope you have a good life and a happy mood.” This made me very moved, and I would try my best to help more people in the future to make our world more beautiful and warmer. 【解析】 【分析】 本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年作者汽车出现了三次故障，大多数人都懒得帮忙，作者对此感到很厌 烦。有一次，他的汽车又出故障了。他在路边求助了接近 3 个小时，但是没有人停下来帮忙。就在打算放 弃的时候，一个过路的墨西哥家庭停下来，提供了帮助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在我要说再见的时候，女孩问我是否吃过午饭了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和 墨西哥家庭一块儿吃午饭的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在他们离开后，我上了吉普车，打开纸袋。”可知，第二段可描写作者在这一家人 离开后，在纸袋里发现什么，以及自己的感受。2.续写线索：吃午餐——交流——感谢——上车——发现东 西——感悟 3.词汇激活行为类 ①吃午餐：have lunch/It's time for lunch/eat lunch 36 ②交流：communicate/talk/chat ③回家：go home/return home/be home/come back home/get home ④发现：find/discover/find out/spot 情绪类 ①感谢：showing one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful ②积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】[高分句型 1] I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours.(由 because 引导的原因状语从句) [高分句型 2].But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm.(由关系代词 which 引导非限制 性定语从句) [高分句型 3] To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger.(不定式做主语)
