It has been entertaining visitors of all ages with a collection of over 80, 000 animals as well as some fantastic shows and interactive experiences for over 150 years.‎ From the classic penguin feeding time to the insightful talks held in an authentic living rainforest there really is something for everyone to enjoy. There are fun and games in the kid's zone including a range of special exhibits designed to be as informative as they are exciting. Children are free to explore a treetop village, a secret underground world and the “Touch Zone” which provides a safe environment for them to interact with all of their favourite creatures.‎ There is so much to do at London Zoo you may struggle to fit it all into one day! Your ticket includes priority entry access at no extra cost giving you more time to see one of the city's premier attractions.‎ Important Information ‎* Disabled Access: Wheelchair access is available throughout the park; however, as the Zoo contains a lot of listed buildings some have minor restrictions.‎ ‎* Parking space subject to (取决于) availability. Only valid in conjunction with a paid for Zoo entry ticket.‎ ‎* Last admission is one hour before closing time.‎ ‎* Some animal exhibits may close up to 30 minutes before closing time.‎ ‎56. According to the advertisement, London Zoo ________.‎ A. provides an ideal place for families to hold talks in an rainforest B. combines entertainment and interactive experiences with creatures C. offers unlimited access to premier attractions with a little more charge D. caters to the curiosity of children with guided exploration and interactions ‎57. It can be learned from the passage that ________.‎ A. visitors will be admitted to the zoo at their convenience B. drivers shall get parking space with a paid entry ticket C. late comers may miss some of the animal exhibits D. wheelchair users can have access to any building B My college experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly. Of course, most college students shouldn’t be drinking at all, but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol, which makes harm-reducing approaches important.‎ Unfortunately, campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head: rather than filling up before a night of partying, significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.‎ This is a high-risk behavior called “drunkorexia,” which is one part eating disorder, one part alcoholism—a very dangerous combination for college-age students. The term drunkorexia, which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol, was coined about 10 years ago, and it started showing up in medical research around 2012. Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin, pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students, mostly women.‎ Imagine this scenario: A female college freshman doesn’t eat anything all day, exercises on an empty stomach, then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours. Because there’s no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly, leading to inebriation and possibly passing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning. That’s drunkorexia.‎ Tavis Glassman, professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio, researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios such as the one described above: “With nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly, and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drinking: sexual assault, unintentional injury, fights, hangovers that affect class attendance and grades, and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,” he says.‎ ‎“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system, it can interfere with sleep, lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers,” Hultin says.‎ ‎58.What does the underlined word “inebriated” in paragraph 1 mean?‎ A.excited B.overwhelmed C.addicted D.drunk ‎59.We can infer from the passage that ________.‎ A.a large number of college students spend most of their nights partying B.some college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slim C.There is a direct link between body image and consuming alcohol D.female college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol ‎60.Which of the following may Tavis Glassman agree with?‎ A.With more food in one’s system, he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.‎ B.Drinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.‎ C.Those who don’t attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.‎ D.Alcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.‎ C California has been facing droughts for many years, with certain areas even having to pump freshwater hundreds of miles to their distribution system. The problem is growing as the population of the state continues to expand. New research has found deep water reserves under the state which could help solve their drought crisis. Previous drilling of wells could only reach depths of 1,000 feet, but due to new pumping practices, water deeper than this can now be extracted (抽取). The team at Stanford investigated the aquifers (地下蓄水层) below this depth and found that reserves may be three times what was previously thought.‎ It is profitable to drill to depths more than 1,000 feet for oil and gas, but only recently in California has it become profitable to pump water from this depth. The aquifers range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the ground, which means that pumping will be expensive and there are other concerns. The biggest concern is the gradual setting down of the land surface. As the water is pumped out, the vacant space left is pressed by the weight of the earth above.‎ Even though pumping from these depths is expensive, it is still cheaper than desalinating (脱盐) the ocean water in the largely coastal state. Some desalination plants exist where possible, but they are costly to run and can need constant repairs. Wells are much more reliable sources of freshwater, and California is hoping that these deep wells may be the answer to their severe water ‎ shortage.‎ One problem with these sources is that the deep water also has a higher level of salt than shallower aquifers. This means that some water may even need to be desalinated after extraction, thus increasing the cost. Research from the study of groundwater has just been published. New estimates of the water reserves now go up to 2,700 billion cubic meters of freshwater.‎ ‎61.According to the text, what causes the water crisis in California?‎ A.Previous drilling of wells. B.The messy distribution system.‎ C.Constant droughts in the area. D.The adoption of new pumping practices.‎ ‎62.The research teams think it ________ to extract water from deeper aquifers.‎ A.expensive but practical B.reliable and profitable C.cost-free but demanding D.cheap and environment-friendly ‎63.What is mentioned as a consequence of extracting water from deep underground?‎ A.The damage to aquifers. B.The sinking of land surface.‎ C.The decrease in operation costs. D.The negative effects on the climate.‎ ‎64.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A.To encourage people to save water.‎ B.To promote the seawater desalination.‎ C.To introduce a new way of extracting freshwater.‎ D.To draw people’s attention to the droughts in California.‎ D Although Bertha Young was thirty she still had moments like this when she wanted to run instead of walk, to take dancing steps on and off the pavement, to throw something up in the air and catch it again, or to stand still and laugh at — nothing — at nothing, simply.‎ What can you do if you are thirty and, turning the corner of your own street, you are overcome, suddenly by a feeling of happiness — absolute happiness.‎ Oh, is there no way you can express it without being “drunk and disorderly”? How stupid civilization is! Why should you be given a body if you have to keep it shut up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle(小提琴)?‎ ‎“No, that about the fiddle is not quite what I mean,” she thought, running up the steps and ‎ feeling in her bag for the key — she’d forgotten it, as usual — and rattling the letter-box. “It’s not what I mean, because — Thank you, Mary” — she went into the hall. “Is nurse back?”‎ ‎“Yes, M’,m.”‎ ‎“I’ll go upstairs.” And she ran upstairs to the nursery.‎ Nurse sat at a low table giving Little B her supper after her bath. The baby looked up when she saw her mother and began to jump.‎ ‎“Now, my lovey, eat it up like a good girl,” said nurse, setting her lips in a way that Bertha knew, and that meant she had come into the nursery at another wrong moment.‎ ‎“Has she been good, Nanny?”‎ ‎“She’s been a little sweet all the afternoon,” whispered Nanny. “We went to the park and I sat down on a chair and took her out of the pram(婴儿车) and a big dog came along and she pulled its ear. Oh, you should have seen her. ‎ Bertha wanted to ask if it wasn’t rather dangerous to let her pull a strange dog’s ear. But she did not dare to. She stood watching them, her hands by her side, like the poor little girl in front of the rich girl with the doll.‎ The baby looked up at her again, stared, and then smiled so charmingly that Bertha couldn’t help crying.‎ ‎“Oh, Nanny, do let me finishing giving her supper while you put the bath things away.‎ ‎“Well, M’m, she oughtn’t to be changed hands while she’s eating,” said Nanny, still whispering. “It unsettles her, it’s very likely to upset her.”‎ How absurd it was. Why have a baby if it has to be kept — not in a case like a rare,rare fiddle — but in another woman’s arms?‎ ‎“Oh, I must!” said she.‎ Very offended, Nanny handed her over.‎ ‎“Now, don’t excite her after her supper. You know you do, M’m. And I have such a time with her after!”‎ Thank heaven! Nanny went out of the room with the bath towels.‎ ‎“Now I’ve got you to myself, my little precious,” said Bertha, as the baby learned against her.‎ She ate delightfully, holding up her lips for the spoon and then waving her hands.Sometimes ‎ she wouldn’t let the spoon go; and sometimes just as Bertha had filled it, she waved it away to the four winds.‎ When the soup was finished Bertha turned round to the fire. “You’re nice — you’re very nice!” said she, kissing her warm baby. “I’m fond of you. I like you.”‎ And indeed, she loved Little B so much — her neck as she bent forward, her pretty toes as they shone transparent in the firelight — that all her feeling of happiness came back again, and again she didn’t know how to express it — what to do with it.‎ ‎“You’re wanted on the telephone,” said Nanny, coming back in victory and seizing her Little B. ‎ ‎65.

Bertha is frustrated by not feeling free to express her musical talents B. wealthy mothers are not allowed to look after their children C. Bertha considers her baby girl an extraordinary child D. people of a certain age are expected to follow a certain code of behavior ‎66. Nanny’s facial expression on seeing Bertha’s arrival in the nursery suggest ________.‎ A. a vain attempt to hide her joy at seeing Bertha B. fear of dismissal from her job for untidy nursery C. dislike for Bertha’s ill-timed visits to the nursery D. a relief as she can at last eat her supper ‎67.

However, perfectionism can become a bad thing when it stops you feeling satisfied with yourself or what you’ve accomplished. Every artist knows how important it is to stop adding touches to their paintings and how constantly adding elements can end up ruining the work. If you constantly demand only the very best from yourself, this can damage your self-respect as you find nothing you do will live up to your expectations. And if you extend this harsh(无情的) judgment to your friends and family and only focus on the negatives around ‎ them, you will find that they begin to dislike and avoid you.‎ So how do you get rid of these kinds of negative perfectionism? The following suggestions might help you a lot.‎ First of all, you’d better think twice about your standards. Look at what other people do. How long does it take them to carry out a project? Are their lower standards getting them fired? Do they still accomplish good work? Are your exacting(苛求的) standards worth the cost in terms of time and energy? I am sure that you can learn a lot from your answers.‎ Secondly, don’t always compare yourself with others. Perfectionists tend to have high standards. For example, an artist who thinks his work is never done might be comparing his paintings to those of Vincent van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci or other great artists. Remember that only a few people can become great masters and that most of us are just common people.‎ Last but not least, try to look at the situation objectively. If you are constantly adjusting things and never feel satisfied, then the chances are that you are too close to the situation and that you can't judge it rightly any more. You’d better ask those around you what they think and whether they think your work is good enough. Besides, give your project some breathing space by leaving it alone for some time, so you can come back to it with “fresh eyes”.‎ Nobody, nor any idea, is perfect. If you have a perfectionist streak in you, try and let it go, and embrace the process of getting your idea out into the world, rather than focusing on the end result.‎ Perfectionism is holding you back ‎ 71 ‎ perfectionism can cause It can make one 72 with himself or his achievements.‎ It can get one’s self-respect damaged.‎ It can make one lose 73 among his friends and family members.‎ Ways of ‎ ‎ 74 perfectionism ‎ 75 your standards You need to find out what other people’s standards are.‎ Avoid making unwise 76 ‎ It is not sensible for you to 77 ‎ yourself to become a great master.‎ Get a(n) 78 view Ask others for their 79 ‎ about your work.‎ Step back for a while and then return ‎ to your work with “fresh eyes”‎ Conclusion Perfection doesn’t actually 80 . Striving to do your best is good enough and will eventually lead you down a brilliant path.‎ 第五部分 书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎81.请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ Is youth lingo ruining the Chinese language?‎ Young people often create their own language that goes beyond rigid linguistic rules. This year's latest slang (俚语) terms add a further simplification: the use of pinyin acronyms (首字母缩略词). “Awsl,” in pinyin, for instance,means “Ah, wo si le” (Oh, I’m gonna die), and is used if something is too cute or adorable to bear. “Pyq” stands for “pengyou quan”，the social feed on the popular Chinese social media app WeChat, and “nsdd” stands for “ni shuo de dui” (you’re right).‎ Teens want to be different from their parents, so it’s natural for them to create and use their own linguistic terms to show that. In doing so, young people are indeed driving linguistic change. They aren’t the only factor influencing language development, but they can indeed transform how future generations communicate.‎ Critics fear that Chinese internet slang will have the potential to negatively influence broader linguistic trends of Mandarin Chinese, in particular, the gradual taking over of pinyin. As pinyin gets widely used when texting or writing on mobile phone or computer, while less and less people write characters by hand, people gradually forget how to write them. The phenomenon has got a name in China: Character amnesia(健忘症).‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎1. 用约30个单词概述上文年轻人使用网络语言的现象；‎ ‎2. 用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：谈谈你的看法，用2〜3个理由或论据支撑你的看法。‎ ‎【写作要求】‎ ‎1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；‎ ‎2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；‎ ‎3. 不必写标题。‎ 南师附中2020届高三年级第二学期期初检测试卷 英语试题参考答案及评分标准 听力：CBBCB ACBAB ABCAB CBCAB ‎ 单项选择：CDBCA DACBB DABAC 完形填空：BDCAC DDBCC DCBAB ABBDC 阅读理解：BCDBA CABCD CABBD 任务型阅读：‎ ‎71.Harm ‎72. unsatisfied/dissatisfied ‎73. popularity ‎74. removing/handling ‎75.

But the rapidly developing Internet lingo, some people are concerned that it's ruining the Chinese language.‎ In my opinion, it's unnecessary for older generations to fear the use of slang is weakening the people's capability to write and remember Chinese characters. For one thing, new terms add variety to a language as they give a group of people a sense of belonging. For another, youth lingo, which is a source of identity for young people, has existed long before the Internet. As a matter of fact, youth lingo has not made the Chinese language disappear but has impacted the language.‎ To conclude, while language development is unavoidable, Chinese Internet lingo is unlikely to replace the existing use of Mandarin Chinese, but will rather be enriching it by adding another layer.‎ Possible Version two:‎ Nowadays, young people often create some new slangs to differentiate themselves. However, with the rapid development of Internet lingo, many critics, especially the seniors, believe that the emergence of such lingo will damage the foundation of Chinese language.‎ In my opinion, it is not necessary to worry about the new slang that will likely weaken the new generation’s capability of writing or remembering Chinese characters. There are two reasons. Firstly, the purpose of language is to convey ideas and share opinions. Thus, the prevailing youth lingo,as a more concise and efficient way of expression, is in fact an enrichment of modern Chinese language. Secondly, since every era has its own young generation,the youth lingo, can be a new identity for young people,cannot pollute or extinct Chinese language but by contrast, it may become an emblem or living fossil of this specific era. ‎ To conclude, while language development is inevitable, Chinese internet lingo is unlikely to replace the existing use of Mandarin Chinese but will be enriching it by adding a new layer or dimension to it.‎ 听力试题原文 Text 1‎ W: Simon, could you return the tools I lent you for building the bookshelf last month?‎ M: Oh, well, I hate to tell you this, but I can’t seem to find them.‎ Text 2‎ W: Well, you said you didn’t care very much for you job.

She ate a lot and never gained a pound.‎ Text 5‎ M: Don’t you like the coat you just tried on?‎ W: Well, I like the color and fabric.‎ M: And it is really nice and reasonably priced.‎ W: Yes. I would have bought it right away if they had had it in my size.‎ Text 6‎ M: Can you describe the room to me, please?‎ W: Certainly. Let’s see, first there’s a big double bed, and of course there’s a telephone by the bed, and you have the radio alarm next to that. Then there’s a TV…‎ M: Oh, well, are the bed sheets changed every day?‎ W: Yes. They’re changed every day. And in fact the pillows are filled with a special material instead of cotton, which can help you fall asleep.‎ M: I’m allergic to flowers.‎ W: I’m sure they’re not dried flowers. But I’m sorry I can’t remember the name.‎ M: Well, that seems to be just fine.‎ Text 7‎ M: Tell me about yourself and your past experience.‎ W: I have worked as an executive secretary for 5 years, first for a trading company, then a trust company.‎ M: How fast can you type?‎ W: I can type 100 Chinese words per minute and 150 English words a minute.‎ M: Can you operate computers skillfully?‎ W: Yes, I can. I have received some special training in computers. Besides I am good at operating common office machines like fax.‎ M: Sometimes we are very busy and need to work overtime. How do you feel about that?‎ W: Could you tell me how often and how many hours I should work overtime?‎ M: It just depends. If we have important visiting delegations, you have to stay with us. It’s not unusual.‎ W: That’s all right.‎ Text 8‎ M: Hi, Asha. Is your mother feeling any better?‎ W: No, I’m afraid not. She’s very homesick. She misses her family and friends back in India.‎ M: Do you think she will ever move back to India?‎ W: I’m not sure. It’s very difficult for her, because my father and my sisters all live here in California, so she doesn’t want to leave us.‎ M: Does she ever go visit her family in India?‎ W: She goes back once a year to visit her family and friends. But when she’s in India, she misses her family in the United States.‎ M: It must be very hard for her, to always be torn between two places.‎ W: Yes, it is. And she’s always telling us not to forget our Indian culture. So, next year, my sisters and I are planning on traveling to India with her for a few months, so that we can all experience the culture together.‎ M: I think that’s a wonderful idea. She’ll be so happy!‎ Text 9‎ M: Hello, I’m a new student on Economics. Can I know some information about the courses?‎ W: Well, I lecture on that program. What do you need to know?‎ M: I’d like to know how many lectures a week I have to attend?‎ W: Two lectures a week, on Tuesday and Thursday. Besides,there’s one group discussion every Friday.‎ M: So what time?‎ W: Let me see …You should have known this information yesterday, at the meeting for the new students.‎ M: Oh, was there a meeting yesterday? I didn’t know about that …no one mentioned…‎ W: Never mind. Now lectures are at four in the afternoon.‎ M: Four’s bit late. I’ve got a part time job that starts at four thirty.‎ W: Well, but attendance at lectures is necessary. We expect at least 80% attendance at this university, you know.‎ M: 80%! That’s high.‎ W: But I’m afraid you have to meet that requirement, otherwise, you can’t get enough credits to graduate. And what’s more, if you want to earn the scholarship, 90% attendance rate or above is a must.‎ M: Ok, I see. Thank you for your information.‎ W: You’re welcome.‎ Text 10‎ ‎ I grew up in a small town until I was 18 and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You can’t get around without one because there isn’t any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving. So, if you don’t have a car, you’d better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows. However, these things are not common in small towns. The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course, safety should be considered, and that’s one area where small towns are better than big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.‎
