The Kili Trail permits travelers to witness the region's wilderness,virgin forests,and rare animals.This route, according to many,is the easiest way to reach the top where the breath-taking 360-degree sights of natural wonders await.‎ Quebec,Canada This special environment made up of both the natural and cultural treasures,where fresh water becomes one with the tides(潮汕）of the sea,makes Quebec one of the interesting walking tour destinations in the world.Here is a track that heads to the Saguenay Fjord National Park which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.Adding to the beauty of Quebec are its sparkling waterfalls,inviting lakes,and rare animals.‎ Great Smoky Mountain,US This region(地区）has been named as the ancestral home of the Cherokee Indians,where rich natural wonders combined with interesting history are the major happenings.The rich natural reserve is evident and enjoyed by walking tour participants.What also makes this destination a popular choice is its reputation as the biggest wilderness on the eastern part of the United States.‎ ‎21. What is Petra and Wadi Rum best known for?‎ A.Its culture. B.Its quietness. C.Its rare animals. D.Its desert scenery.‎ ‎22. Which tour combines the scenery of land and water?‎ 16‎ A. Petra and Wadi Rum. B.Kilimanjaro. C.Quebec. D. Great Smoky Mountain.‎ ‎23.What is unique to Great Smoky Mountain?‎ A.Special history. B.National park. C.Virgin forests. D.Ocean view.‎ ‎24.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A.Magical Nature Reserves ‎ B.Best Walking Tours C.Colorful Cultural Treasures D.Amazing Wilderness Areas B Regrets are often painful. A study suggests that some people can overcome them,said Jia Wei Zhang. a psychology graduate at the University of California.But this isn't the case for everyone,he said.‎ The researchers wondered why some people report feeling improvement from regrets but others don't.Does it lie in how people approach their regrets?‎ In the study,the researchers focused on self-compassion(自我同情）as a potential factor in why some people have an easier time leaving their regrets behind them. ‎ ‎400 people attended an experiment.First,they were asked to write about their biggest regret. Half wrote something they did but wish they hadn't done;the other half wrote something they didn't do but wish they had.Then,the participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups:self-compassion, self-esteem and a control group.The self-esteem group was asked to respond by "talking to yourself about this regret from the aspect of confirming your positive qualities".‎ The control group was asked to write about their favorite hobby rather than their regret.Then,they were asked about their feelings of forgiveness,acceptance and personal improvement following the exercise.‎ They found that the self-compassion group reported greater feelings of acceptance,forgiveness and personal improvement,compared with the control group and the self-esteem group.In other words, focusing on your best qualities is not what helps you feel better about a regret.Rather,being compassionate toward yourself is what may make a difference,the researchers found.‎ It's possible that people who practice self-compassion are able to confront their regrets and see what went wrong,so they can make a better choice in the future,Zhang told Live Science.Self-compassion pushes people to accept their regret instead of running away from it.‎ The researchers used an example of this from a previous study on breast cancer patients who were asked to try thinking about their treatment in a positive light before it began.The women who did so reported greater feelings of personal growth later on.‎ ‎25.What does the underlined word"confront"in Paragraph 7 mean?‎ 16‎ A.Handle B.Forget. C.Ignore D.Show. ‎ ‎26.What were the students in the self-esteem group asked to do?‎ A. Think of a way out.‎ B.Write about their regrets.‎ C.Record their favorite hobbies.‎ D.Treat their regrets in positive ways.‎ ‎27.Why were the participants asked about their good qualities?‎ A.To cover up their regrets.‎ B.To see if they have weaknesses.‎ C.To see if they have self-compassion.‎ D.To help them feel better about their regrets.‎ ‎28.What was the aim of mentioning the researchers' study on breast cancer patients?‎ A.To show the method of the research.‎ B. To show the value of the acceptance.‎ C.To show the truth of people's feeling.‎ D.To show the difficulty of the research.‎ C Your next Saturday night takeaway could be brought to you by a robot after a major food delivery company announced plans to use automated vehicles to transport meals.Europe's biggest online takeaway food company Just Eat has partnered with Starship Technologies to deliver food with robots on the streets of London later this month."Nobody has ever done deliveries with land-based robots,"said Allan Martinson,the chief operating officer of Starship.‎ The robot courier can travel up to 4 miles per hour for about 10 miles.It uses a GPS signal and nine cameras to navigate(确定方向）。Instead of a person arriving at their door,customers could find themselves receiving a notification on their phone that says a robot is on its way and a code to unlock the automated courier."Put the code in,the robot opens up,and there's your food,"said David Buttress,chief manager of Just Eat.‎ The robot,which has so far been tested in Greenwich,Milton Keynes and Glastonbury,costs E l to transport within 3 miles,compared with the E3 to E6 it costs for a human courier.To date 30 robots have driven nearly 5,000 miles without getting into an accident or finding themselves picked on by passers-by.They have driven in more than 40 cities around the world,including London and Tallinn, Estonia.‎ An initial worry was how the public would react to robots. But Martinson said the public has been calm when passing the delivery machine on the streets."The most surprising reaction has been the lack of reaction,"said Martinson.‎ 16‎ Another significant fear was that people would disrupt(扰）the robots,or try to steal them and their contents.To prevent this,the robot is fitted with nine cameras,two way audio,and movement sensors that send a warning if it is lifted off the ground.And it opens only with a passcode provided to the customer via a notification."It's much easier to shoplift than it is to steal a robot,"said Martinson.‎ ‎29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word"courier" in Paragraph 2?‎ A.Deliverer. B.Collector. C.Provider. D.Guide.‎ ‎30.Which of the following is one of the worries about Starship robots?‎ A.Safety of the robot delivery.‎ B.Accuracy of the robot delivery.‎ C.People's indifference to the robots.‎ D.People's concern about public traffic.‎ ‎31.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Great Improvement of Just Eat B.Global Trend of Food Companies C.New Robots to Move on the Road D.Delivery Robots to Replace Takeaway Drivers D Food storing is common in members of the crow(乌鸦）family.A new study tested the birds outside this naturally occurring behaviour,which may have evolved(进化）specifically because it gives crows a survival advantage.Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food.So the researchers tested whether the birds could store and recover a tool so they could get it at their food after a gap of 17 hours-something we wouldn't expect them to do naturally.But they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.‎ In another experiment,the researchers taught crows to select a token(礼品券）from a number of items so that they could then exchange for food.Again,the birds then showed that they could plan for the future using this new behaviour.This is different from all of the previous studies in future planning,which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour.For example,we know that chimpanzees select,transport and save appropriate tools for future needs.‎ These studies have shown that animals can plan for the future-but they left an important question open for debate.Are animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved to give them a specific advantage,or can they flexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across various actions? Most critics would say the former,as the animals were tested in naturally occurring behaviors.‎ 16‎ But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that doesn't typically occur in nature.This supports the view that at least some recognitive abilities in animals don't evolve just in response to specific problems.Instead,it suggests that animals can apply these behaviors flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans.We need to investigate how flexible behaviour evolved.Then we might be able to see how crows' ability to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers.‎ ‎32.What's the new finding about some crows according to Paragraph 1?‎ A.They can store food.‎ B.They can use tools to recover food.‎ C.They can store and recover tools.‎ D.They can select and store food.‎ ‎33.What are crows trained by scientists to do when given a token?‎ A. Reject it casually.‎ B.Exchange it for food.‎ C Save it as their food.‎ D.Build a nest with it.‎ ‎34.What do scientists think of the studies that animals can plan for the future?‎ A. They are debatable.‎ B.They are disappointing.‎ C.They are contradictory.‎ D.They are convincing.‎ ‎35.What can be inferred about recognitive abilities in animals?‎ A.They develop only with age.‎ B.It is unclear how they've evolved now.‎ C.No animals but crows benefit from them.‎ D.Planning for the future helps their evolution.‎ 第二节 七选五（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。‎ How to Become an Activist(活动家）‎ Activists are people who see the need for change and devote their time to doing something about it. 36 If you are interested in it you can do so.‎ 16‎ ‎37 This could be anything from a student club to a national organization(like the American Civil Liberties Union or the National Organizers Alliance).Most activist organizations offer different levels of involvement,so you can do whatever you feel most comfortable with,whether that means attending meetings and demonstrations or just donating a little money when you can. ‎ Volunteer your time.One of the best ways to make a difference is to volunteer your time.Reach out to organizations in your community that do work for your cause,and ask how you can help.‎ Donate money or supplies. 38 If you can't afford to donate money to an organization that supports yours cause,you may be able to donate other thing,they need,like clothing or canned food. ‎ Reach out to family and friends.Tell your family and friends about your cause,and invite them to get involved.If they are interested,share literature about your cause or just talk to them about what you have learned. 39‎ Promote your cause on social media.You can use social media to help keep your friends and followers informed about the causes you support. 40 Also,you can invite your friends to attend events or donate to fundraisers for your cause.‎ A.Take classes on issues related to your cause.‎ B.Join an organization that supports your cause.‎ C.They are driven by passion and a vision for a better future.‎ D.If you do volunteer work,invite them to volunteer with you.‎ E.Most activists or charitable organizations need resources to do their work.‎ F.Post useful articles and write about what you are doing to stay involved.‎ G If you can't reach out to them in person,then try connecting to people online.‎ 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ An act of kindness doesn't have to be a grand gesture.Even those small acts of kindness can make a difference in someone's day.

He hardly left his seat.When people encouraged him to get involved with normal life,he would respond:＂This is my doorway to the world,there is much more here than you realize."‎ Among all his games there was one he especially liked.In it he would move a character around, collecting turtles(乌龟）on an infinity(无限）of levels and screens.He was a real expert at it.Maybe there was no one else in the world who had collected as many turtles as he had,but,nevertheless, Albert still wanted more and more and more...‎ One day,when he got home from school,everything had changed.As usual,as soon as he arrived,he ran to his room to switch the computer on.But this time he heard some strange noises, like breaking glass.Suddenly the screen broke,and from inside came dozens,then hundreds,then thousands of little turtles.And they filled every square inch of his bedroom.Albert was astonished. He couldn't believe what was happening.But after pinching(掐）himself,he shut down and started the computer up many times,and called to his parents to see if he was dreaming about this.As it happens,he had to accept that on that day something very strange was happening.‎ On entering,his parents put their heads in their hands.Seeing that the turtles were staying in Albert' s room,they decided to make them his responsibility.‎ 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。‎ Looking after thousands of turtles,day after day,was no easy task.‎ When Albert forgot about his beloved computer games,the turtles disappeared.‎ 16‎ 高三英语联考试卷 参考答案 2020.10‎ 听力(每小题1.5分，共30分)‎ ‎1~5 BCACB 6~10 ABACB 11~15 BAACA 16~20 BACBC 阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共37.5分） 21-25 DCABA 26-30 DDBAA 31-35 DCBAB 七选五 （每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 36---40 CBEDF 完形填空 (每小题1分， 共15分) 41—45 DCABD 46—50 DACAB 51—55 ABCDC 语法填空 (15分，每小题1.5分)‎ ‎56. balanced 57. a 58. awareness 59. what 60. provides 61. beneficial ‎ ‎62. from / against 63. requirement(s) 64.

First of all, Chinese was the major troublemaker for me. Due to a limited vocabulary, I was always afraid of communicating with others in Chinese.

What's more, whenever I was overwhelmed by homesickness, you were always with me, and were ready to give me help patiently. ‎ My appreciation is beyond any words and I will be more than pleased if I can show you around Canada in return for your kindness. ‎ Yours，David 读后续写【参考范文】（25分）‎ One possible version:‎ Looking after thousands of turtles, day after day, was no easy task. Every day after school, Albert would rush to the turtle tank and made sure every one of them was properly fed and carefully attended. Sometimes, a few naughty little ones would creep out and leave their droppings hither and ‎ 16‎ thither, which meant extra cleaning and taming from Albert's side. He was, to some extent, a feeder, tamer and guardian for the big turtle family. When all these responsibilities weighed down heavily on Albert’s feeble shoulder, he could no longer squeeze time on games.  ‎ When Albert forgot about his beloved computer games, the turtles disappeared. Almost overnight, Albert regained his liberty, which meant he could immediately re-plunge into the colorful virtual world. However, this time, the internet lost all its charm and Albert just wouldn't open the monitor. Instead, he kept reminiscing about the good old days with the turtle tribe and claimed taking care of real turtles was the best days ever in his life. Obviously, this unforgettable experience taught Albert an invaluable lesson: real life exists in reality, not online. ‎ 听力原文：‎ Text 1‎ W: How is your brother feeling these days?‎ M: Much better, thanks.
