河南省郑州市中牟县第一高级中学2020届高三迎二测 模拟考试（二）英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分20分） 略 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）‎ 读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A If you’re looking to buy a gift for your children, why not keep up with the trend and get the best hoverboard?‎ What is a Hoverboard?‎ A hoverboard is a two-wheeled personal transportation device. It’s electrical, portable and became highly popular in 2015 in reference to a popular 1980’s movie. Typically, this self-balancing device operates like a powered skateboard.‎ How Does a Hoverboard Work?‎ The device may have many designs, but the mechanism itself isn’t complicated.‎ Basically, a standard hoverboard contains:‎ Battery: stores the electrical power. Almost all hoverboards use a high-watt lithium-ion battery.‎ Gyroscope (one for each wheel): allows riders to tilt ( 倾 斜 ) the hoverboard while maintaining balance and adjusting their direction.‎ Motor (one in each wheel): provides the power to the wheels to keep the rider balanced and upright.‎ Logic board: functions as the hoverboard brain. It processes data—your speed, tilt, etc.—and sends information to the motors. This unit controls the power of the board so riders can adjust their speed.‎ All the above components work together to control the power and tilt of the hoverboards so the rider is balanced, upright and moving at a controlled speed.‎ Why Buy a Hoverboard?‎ Undoubtedly, hoverboards are cool. You’ve probably seen kids riding one around the house. They’re a phenomenon and everybody wants in. So, why deny your kids and prevent them from being part of this trend?‎ Where is a hoverboard legal?‎ Despite their wild popularity, hoverboards have yet to become “street-legal”. Currently, some places prohibit anyone under 16 from using these devices, and hoverboards are banned in academic institutions and public places, like campus buildings, parks, shopping malls and subway stations. Some places have also put speed limits on the devices and restricted their use to bike paths. However, open areas—including your yard—are free of these restrictions.‎ ‎21. The logic board of a hoverboard can . ‎ A. store electricity B. power the wheels C. send information to the riders D. receive data and give command ‎22. According to the passage, a hoverboard can be used . ‎ A．on campus B．in parks C．on bike paths D．in shopping malls ‎23. What is the main purpose of this passage? ‎ A. To evaluate a gift’s quality. B. To recommend a gift choice.‎ C. To compare new hoverboard models. D. To clarify functions of the latest hoverboards.‎ B Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee (难民) family,” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box.”‎ After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.‎ Born and raised in San Diego’s City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Deka’s success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today.‎ When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one’s life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn’t do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.‎ ‎“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”‎ Deka’s efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”‎ When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don’t tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I’ll never get into this school, ” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”‎ ‎24.From the passage, we can learn that .‎ A. Deka was adopted by a refugee family ‎ B. Deka spent a lot of time going to parties C. Deka became a professor after graduation ‎ D. Deka’s experiences drove her to work hard ‎ ‎25．Deka realized the importance of education .‎ A. from her mother’s experience B. after her chemistry class C. by reading books in the library D. through working at the institute ‎ ‎26．According to the last paragraph, Deka advised that students be .‎ A. patient B. confident C. ambitious D. generous ‎ ‎27．What does the story intend to tell us? ‎ A. Life is not all roses. B. Practice makes perfect.‎ C. Well begun is half done. D. Hard work leads to success.‎ C A group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around. They look like middle schoolers seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps they’re not so different.‎ A new study, led by Damien Farine, an ornithologist who studies collective behaviour, shows that the vulturine guineafowl of eastern Africa, like humans, have multilevel societies. In the past, scientists assumed such social structures required a lot of brainpower. But the pea-brained guineafowl are revealing the faults in that assumption.‎ These large birds wander across the landscape in packs, often walking so closely that their bodies touch. They may fight each other to maintain their strict hierarchies (等级制度), but at other times they engage in friendly behaviours like sharing food.‎ Suspecting the guineafowl might have a social structure, Dr. Farine and his colleagues began a thorough study of their society. For a whole year, they made daily observations of 441 birds. Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart. They also attached GPS devices to the backs of 58 birds, which let them see exactly where every group went, 24 hours a day.‎ The findings of the research suggest that the vulturine guineafowl have a multilevel society. There are groups within groups within the population as a whole. There even seem to be groups of friends within the small groups. This is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird.‎ And Dr. Farine emphasizes this particular bird’s tiny brain size: “They don’t only have small brains relative to mammals (哺 乳 动 物 ), they also have quite small brains relative to other birds,” he said.‎ According to him, living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the social order. For example, if groups are stable and a bird can identify just one or two individuals within a group, it knows which group it’s looking at—no need for a brain that can recognize every single animal. Multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whatever challenges they’re facing. Depending on what enemies or resources are around, it might make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one.‎ ‎“Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,” Dr. Farine said. There may be more birds and other animals out there that, although small-brained, have societies as many-leveled as our own.‎ ‎28. According to the passage, what inspired Dr. Farine to carry out the study?‎ A. The guineafowl’s social behaviour. B. Previous assumptions about birds. ‎ C．His interest in animal brainpower. D．The faults in earlier research.‎ ‎29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?‎ A．The research subjects. B．The research methods.‎ C．The research findings. D．The research equipment.‎ ‎30. What can be learned from the passage?‎ A. Complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl.‎ B. The guineafowl are good at recognizing individuals in a group. ‎ C．Birds maintain social order by travelling in combined groups. ‎ D．Small-brained animals can form multilevel societies.‎ ‎31. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To present the findings of a study of the guineafowl.‎ B. To explain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies.‎ C. To introduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl.‎ D. To uncover clues about how complex societies are formed.‎ D City Transformer,a four-year-old company based outside Tel Aviv,Israel,is ready to shake up the auto industry with their invention.‎ So what is it that they’ve created?A car that actually folds while you’re driving.It’s a neat trick,sure.Perhaps something you’d see in a superhero movie.But it actually serves a practical purpose.With more people choosing to live in urban environments,space can be tight.Picture yourself pulling up to a tiny parking space that’s only big enough for a motorcycle.No problem.Hit the button,and your car shrinks to fit into the space.‎ The car,which is available for pre-order now,is a case study in clean design.It contains only 1,000 parts,compared to the industry standard of about 20,000 in a regular car.It’s all electric,and doesn’t run on gas,causing no pollution.It’s autonomous-ready,which means that one day it will be able to drive itself.‎ City Transformer is considering a company of foldable cars positioned all across the globe.People who own membership of the car rental company can rent one of the cars wherever ‎ they are.What’s more,when you get into any of the cars,it will instantly recognize you and adjust the seats,temperature and music to your favorite settings.‎ Asaf Formoza,the company’s founder,believes it’s at the right place,at the right time.“It's very important for us to be in Israel,because we have more than 400 companies here just for the automotive departments,”he explained.“And we can take some of their proven technologies and adopt them to our car.”‎ ‎“To bring something like that as a solution for cities when so many people around the world are stuck in traffic jams,this is going to be something that I think can really change the experience of drivers,”said project manager Itamar Meridor.‎ ‎32. What is the advantage of the car?‎ A. It uses less gas. B. It is easier to control.‎ C. It takes up less space. D. It has a higher speed.‎ ‎33. What can the car do when a person sits in it?‎ A. Drive itself. B. Obey any order.‎ C. Take his or her temperature. D. Provide personalized services.‎ ‎34. Why does Asaf Formoza say the car is at the right place?‎ A. Israel is a large market for cars.‎ B. The car company pays no tax in Israel.‎ C. The road conditions in Israel are nice for cars.‎ D. The new technologies are available in Israel.‎ ‎35. How does Itamar Meridor feel about the future of the car?‎ A. Uncertain. B. Hopeful.‎ C. Concerned. D. Doubtful.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。‎ An interview is a discussion with someone in which you try to get information from them. 36 There are three basic sub-types of interview: structured interviews, unstructured interviews and semi-structured interviews. ____37_______Incidentally, “respondent” and “informant” are words that are sometimes used instead of “interviewee”.‎ A great deal is provided by this personal contact: you are another human being, and interviewees will respond to you, in bodily presence, in an entirely different way from the way that they would have reacted to questionnaires that came through their letterboxes or to emails. 38 Most people want to help and give their opinions, and they will usually be energized to help by your physical presence.‎ If you take the trouble to schedule a visit, you can be more or less guaranteed of a response. Most importantly, though, you will be able to relate to interviewees while you are talking to them. 39 You will be able to watch their behaviour which will give you important clues about how they feel about a topic. Because of the primacy of the personal contact, your appearance and tone are important—how do you want to be seen? As “one of us”? As a person in authority? As an observer? …Or what?‎ ‎ 40 However you decide to present yourself, it is good practice of course to try to put the interviewee at ease before the interview begins—to talk about the weather, about your journey, about anything that will break the ice.‎ A．This is a ready-made support for you.‎ B．Its nature varies with the nature of the interviews.‎ C．You will be able to hear and understand what they are saying.‎ D．Your decision should influence the way that you look, sound and behave.‎ E．The information may be facts or opinions or attitudes or any combination of these.‎ F．Each involves the interviewer in fact-to-face contact or telephone contact with another person.‎ G．You will be using these clues to make informed guesses about what the interviewees might really mean.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Afel was only a very small boy when he first saw snow in a picture book.

He 55 to fly down the hills like the people on TV, but he couldn’t.‎ ‎“Never mind,” he thought. “It’s a 56 …”‎ ‎“How will you go to the Olympics?” people asked him. “Our country doesn’t ‎ 57 have a team that goes to the Winter Olympics.
