山东省潍坊市临朐县实验中学2020届高三第二次模拟考试英语试题 www.ks5u.com 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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。‎ A The Future Leaders is a year-round leadership development programme that is changing lives for a diverse range of young people in New Zealand．It is part-time，designed for young people aged 16-25．You’11 meet amazing people，and attend the national event Festival for the Future．You'll get access to coaching and mentoring (指导)workshops to help you develop ideas and skills for the future,and make a difference in your community．‎ Are you aged 16—25? Do you want to be inspired,build your connections and skills for the future? Apply now．Two great ways you can apply to take part.‎ Option 1—applying as a Catalyst( a person that causes a change)is the best way to boost your capability.The key difference between this and the wider ‘Future Leaders’ option,is that you’ll attend all three national hui(including Festival for the Future)，get access to one-on-one support through mentoring and coaching,and take more of a leadership role working with other Catalysts to develop and lead a project in your community.‎ While there’s no cost to you,if you’re offered a place as a Catalyst it's the equivalent of receiving a $5,000 scholarship to support your training and development．Spaces are strictly limited to 4 Catalysts per community．‎ Option 2—applying as a Future Leader is the lighter way to experience the programme．While you won’t attend all three national hui or get one-on-one coaching and mentoring, you’ll still make awesome connections,be inspired and build your leadership skills．You’ll get the chance to attend Festival for the Future in Wellington，attend local events and workshops,and get involved in the project in your community．‎ While there’s no cost to you, if you’re offered a place as a Future Leaders, it’s the equivalent of receiving a $1,000 scholarship to support your training and development．Spaces are limited．‎ ‎1．What’s the purpose of the text?‎ A．To introduce a programme to all ages．‎ B．To show young people how to apply for the Future Leaders．‎ C．To list two application positions．‎ D．To encourage people to be future leaders．‎ ‎2．What can we know about the Future Leaders programme?‎ A．It can equip you with leadership skills．‎ B．It’s designed for successful young people．‎ C．It supplies activities to help the community．‎ D．It requires you to take part all year round．‎ ‎3．What’s the similarity that lies in Option 1 and Option 2?‎ A．You will attend all three national hui.‎ B．You can receive no scholarship．‎ C．The two options are both free of charge．‎ D．There are a rang of spaces to choose from．‎ B As health care costs continue to rise, a growing number of companies are working out programs designed to keep their employees healthy.‎ Thomas Chapple is the senior vice president. “It’s really important to us because medical costs are going up like crazy,” he says. “This company spends more than $ 200 million a year on medical costs for its employees around the country. The best thing we have seen as a way to control the medical cost is individual fitness.”‎ ‎“We have a fitness center,” Shawn Flaherty, director of public relations for Freddie Mac., says. “We have a health benefits plan that encourages people to work out three times a week, get cholesterol （胆固醇）checks, as well as ‘do not smoke.’ If they do that, it will cost them less for the health benefits.”‎ Rachelle Clark works for Freddie Mac. “I feel great. You know the benefit is rewarding. I like to look good and feel healthy. I am just fortunate that I work for the company that provides some type of facility for the employees.”‎ While on-site fitness centers are popular, some companies pay membership fees at local gyms for employees. The companies also offer classes such as boxing, yoga and dancing. Employees see ‎ those health programs as a valuable benefit.‎ Tom Brook exercises five days a week. As a newspaper reporter he has a tight schedule, although Tom says it’s not that difficult for him to make time for a workout. “It is great. It is right here where we work,” says Tom. “So everybody gets a chance to use it whenever they want to. I have lost weight and never been in better shape.”‎ The programs may not be a magic cure for rising health costs. However, they seem to have a positive impact on both employers and employees.‎ ‎4.What’s the best way to cut the medical cost according to Shawn Flaherty?‎ A. Reducing the number of employees.‎ B. Encouraging the employees to work out for health.‎ C. Setting up fitness centers of their own.‎ D. Paying membership fees at local gyms for the employees.‎ ‎5.Why does the writer cite（引用）what Rachelle Clark and Tom Brook say?‎ A. To explain how to use the fitness centers.‎ B. To show how effective physical exercise is.‎ C. To show the employees welcome the health programs.‎ D. To persuade more employers to set up health centers.‎ ‎6.What does the underlined sentence convey?‎ A. The health costs are worrying.‎ B. The programs may not cost much money.‎ C. All kinds of patients can be cured like magic.‎ D. The programs have limited effects.‎ ‎7.What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. It’s difficult to reduce health care costs.‎ B. The health care costs are rising year by year.‎ C. Companies encourage their employees to keep fit.‎ D. People can benefit from doing exercise in their working places.‎ C Turtles may be cute，but they are also slow and clumsy，which doesn’t really help them when they are trying to cross train tracks．Luckily，for the turtles in Japan’s Hyōgo Prefecture，‎ railway operators and a local aquarium teamed up to find a solution．‎ Between 2002 and 2014，disruptions(中断)of train operation caused by turtles were reported 13 times，with many more probably going unreported．That is why，in 2015，West Japan Railway Co．and Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe joint forces to prevent tragic turtle deaths on the tracks and unnecessary train delay．After running a series of tests and experiments，they came up with a U-shaped ditch(沟渠)that collects the turtles，preventing them from getting stuck between the metal tracks and getting crushed to death．‎ Tests showed that turtles trying to cross the train tracks often fall into the space between them，which leaves them with no other option than to walk between them．Sadly，this causes some of them to get stuck between the metal tracks at junctions(交叉口)，and they unavoidably get crushed to death when the points blades(叶片)move．‎ ‎“The turtles are basically just going about their daily business and have to cross the lines to get to a pond，”a railway spokesperson said．“When the points blades move，unfortunately they get squashed between them and die．They can cause long delays to operations so we consulted with a turtle specialist to find the best way to help them．”‎ The U-shaped concrete ditches installed at several critical points along the train lines near the city of Kobe catch the turtles at danger of getting stuck between the tracks．They allow the turtles to get past the junctions safely．10 turtles were reportedly saved in the first month since the U-shaped ditch was put to use in November 2015．‎ ‎8．What’s the best title of the text? ‎ A．An Important Invention in Japan B．The U-shaped Concrete Ditches C．Turtles Crossing Train Tracks in Danger D．Japan’s Clever Solution to Help Turtles Cross Train Tracks ‎9．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?‎ A．Why the U-shaped ditch is invented．‎ B．The turtles’ terrible conditions．‎ C．The train delay caused by turtles． ‎ D．How the turtles go through the tracks．‎ ‎10．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A．The turtles． B．The trains．‎ C．The train tracks． D．The points blades．‎ ‎11．What can we infer about the ditches?‎ A．They are installed on the railway tracks．‎ B．They can prevent turtles from escaping．‎ C．They are easy to trap the turtles．‎ D．They are helpful for turtles to cross train tracks．‎ D Solar energy systems/power plants do not produce air pollution, water pollution, or greenhouse gases. Using solar energy can have a positive, indirect effect on the environment, when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment.‎ However, some poisonous materials and chemicals are used to make the photovoltaic (光电池的) cells that convert sunlight into electricity. Some solar thermal (保热的) systems use potentially hazardous liquids to transfer heat. Leaks of these materials could be harmful to the environment. U. S. environmental laws regulate the use and settlement of these types of materials.‎ As with any type of power plant, large solar power plants can affect the environment near their locations. The placement of the power plant may have long-term effects on the habitats of native plants and animals. Some solar power plants may require water for cleaning solar collectors and concentrators or for cooling turbine generators. Using large volumes of ground water or surface water in some dry locations may affect the ecosystems that depend on these water resources. In addition, the beam of concentrated sunlight a solar power tower creates can kill birds and insects that fly into the beam.‎ The amount of solar energy that the earth receives each day is many times greater than the total amount of all energy that people consume each day. However, on the surface of the earth, solar energy is a variable and irregular energy source. The amount of sunlight and the intensity of sunlight varies by time of day and location. Weather and climate conditions affect the availability of sunlight daily and on a seasonal basis. The type and size of a solar energy collection and conversion system determines how much of the available solar energy we can convert into useful energy.‎ ‎12. Which of the following best explains "hazardous" underlined in Paragraph 2?‎ A. inexpensive B. dangerous C. ineffective D. abnormal ‎13. What influence can large solar power plants have on the locations?‎ A. Polluting the ground water. B. Protecting the habitats of plants and animals.‎ C. Damaging the local natural balance. D. Attracting birds and insects to the area.‎ ‎14. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?‎ A. Different areas receive different amount of solar energy.‎ B. How to convert solar energy into useful energy.‎ C. The relationship between solar energy collection and the sunlight.‎ D. Some factors that influence the amount of solar energy collection.‎ ‎15. What does the author think of the solar energy systems?‎ A. They are totally environment-friendly.‎ B. They have both advantages and disadvantages.‎ C. They should be forbidden in the future.‎ D. They should be encouraged in quantities.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If you look around the streets of London，you’11 see the many methods people use to move around． 16 Now there’s a new addition：electric，or e-scooters(滑板车)．‎ This traditional children’s vehicle has become more complicated over the years．And now，with the addition of a small electric motor，it’s become a cheap and easy mode of transport．Scooting around town can be fun and doesn’t involve much effort． 17 But considering accidents involving an electric scooter in the UK，questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed．‎ Many e-scooter riders in the UK broke the law. Some have been seen on pavements；others on the road jumping red traffic lights，adding to the frustration of motorists stuck in jams．In the UK，the law states that riding one on the public highway or pavement is forbidden．But，despite this，it seems the increasing popularity of e-scooters means they can be seen everywhere． 18 ‎ The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is‘reviewing’ the law．But its transport minister，Michael Ellis，has told the BBC that：“Micromobility products are appearing in countries across the globe and are an exciting innovation for which we know there ‎ is demand． 19 ”‎ ‎ 20 Despite the fact that some of them can exceed 30mph，they sometimes only have one brake and no lights．However confident the rider may be，larger vehicles on the road make them unprotected．So it seems more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe and legal space to travel in．‎ A．The roads are already crowded． ‎ B．We are mainly after economic benefits． ‎ C．People seldom see e-scooter accidents in the UK．‎ D．However，safety must always be our top priority．‎ E．And now users are calling on regulations to be changed．‎ F．There’s no doubt there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter．‎ G．It’s no wonder they’re becoming increasingly popular in cities around the world．‎ 第二部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分)‎ 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Luther Younger is a 99-year-old loving husband.

The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty.‎ While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes, etc.‎ However, there was hardly any chance that Carol’s family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.‎ One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother ‎ granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she would love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.‎ Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life.‎ She told Carol, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city?”‎ Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her wish but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return back to the village. Carol agreed.‎ Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Carol’s brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）‎ ‎1--3BAC 4--7 BCDC 8--11 DACD 12--15 BCDB 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）‎ ‎16-20 AGEDF.‎ 完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分 15 分) ‎ ‎21—25 DABCD 26—30 ACBDA 31—35 CABDC ‎ 语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分 15 分) ‎ ‎36. violent 37. with 38. to celebrate 39. where 40.

I’m writing to ask for some information about traveling in New Zealand since I plan to spend my summer vacation here.‎ Could you recommend some popular traveling routes to me?

Yet at the same time, she understood that everything told by her grandmother was true in the city. There was no peace and no silence; the city life was fast and rushing. The air quality is not satisfying. She could hardly find any animal or even a tree.‎ Carol's brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than the city life. Carol understood that she was having a more joyful life. She shared her dream with her family while enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables, and they laughed together. Carol also developed love for plants, animals and beautiful nature.‎
