2020届高考英语临考冲刺卷 浙江卷（三）

‎2020年高考英语临考冲刺卷 浙江卷（三）‎ ‎ The kitchen is not just where we prepare meals. In many places, the kitchen is the heart of the home. It's where we connect with our family and friends. We have open talks about our pleasures and annoyances we met during the day while we make dinner or have a bite to eat. So, it can be a very busy room in the house.‎ ‎ Sometimes you need order in the kitchen for things to run smoothly. And sometimes you need one person to be in charge. Imagine you are cooking dinner for your friends. As you are making the soup, your friend Sara tastes it and says, "This needs more salt." So, she adds more salt. Harlan comes to taste your soup and throws some fresh black pepper into the pot and some dried herbs. Cecilia tastes the soup and pours in some vinegar. What will the soup he like?‎ ‎ You are happy to spend time with your friends. But, quite frankly, all their opinions about your soup are becoming annoying. Worst of all, you taste the soup and it's awful! And that is where we get the expression "too many cooks spoil the soup".‎ ‎ This expression describes an age-old problem: If too many people help to complete a task, it may not go very well. But, you may think, "If many people are trying to get something done, the task will get done faster." After all, American English also has the expression "many hands make light work".‎ ‎ To answer that point, I will draw your attention to the word "cook". Now, the cook is the leader in the kitchen. They may have assistants to help them. But the cook has the final say. So, what if a kitchen has many cooks? Who is the leader? Everyone! And that's where the trouble comes.‎ ‎1. What does the author think of the kitchen according to the first paragraph?‎ A. It is crowded in many houses. B. It is where we feed our body and soul.‎ C. It helps to brighten up people's day. D. It serves as the most useful place in a home.‎ ‎2. Which situation agrees with "too many cooks spoil the soup"?‎ A. A group of students get a task done together.‎ B. Some volunteers discuss how to help others.‎ C. Five designers want their own idea to be adopted.‎ D. Many laid-off workers learn how to be a cook.‎ ‎3. Which of the following is the best title for the text?‎ A. What Happens with Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen?‎ B. Should a Cook Be Open to Suggestions?‎ C. What Could a Cook Do to Everyone's Satisfaction?‎ D. Why Will Too Many Cooks Work in the Kitchen?‎ Government officials and businessmen from 26 countries have just completed a visit to Xiaogang Village in east China's Anhui Province. As MPA and doctoral students in the Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development of Peking University, they made the trip to Xiaogang, known as cradle of China's rural reform, for a deeper understanding of China's economic reform.‎ One of the 41 students, Abdoulaye Ndiaye from Senegal said they had learned the story about Xiaogang from a lecture in Beijing before the trip, and were most impressed by the detail that 18 villagers in Xiaogang agreed on a secret agreement to break the egalitarian (平等主义) agricultural system by signing, in this case leaving thumbprints (拇指指纹), a land contract in 1978. “The story of Xiaogang village could set a good example for development in other South-South countries,” said Dilamo Otore Ferenje, a trade official from Ethiopia.‎ During the visit on Tuesday, they actually shook hands with one of the pioneering villagers, Yan Junchang, who is now 77 years old.‎ Visiting an exhibition hall on the village history and talking with villagers, the students learned how the contract enabled farmers to hand in a certain percentage of their produce to government, and keep the rest to themselves.‎ Looking at modern farms, rural renewable energy facilities and a glass factory, the students gained an understanding of how the Chinese village had developed over 40 years.‎ The village has undergone great changes. Road traffic is now controlled by traffic lights. Sanitary workers always keep the streets clean. A yellow school bus takes kids to school. Old run-down houses are protected as a reminder of its past.‎ Fu Jun, academic dean of the institute, said the field trip offered students an opportunity to gain a better understanding of China's development experience and different stages of reform and opening-up.‎ ‎1.What do we know about the students from the passage?‎ A.The majority of them are businessmen.‎ B.They are interested in China's economic reform.‎ C.There are altogether 26 students from foreign countries.‎ D.They knew nothing about Xiaogang village before the trip.‎ ‎2.During the visit, students did the following things EXCEPT _____________.‎ A.Meeting the then 18 pioneering villagers in the flesh B.Being shown around some rural renewable energy facilities C.Paying a visit to an exhibition to learn the history of the village D.Being introduced to the rapid development of Xiaogang village ‎3.What did Fu Jun think of the trip according to the last paragraph?‎ A.Encouraging. B.Memorable. C.Thrilling. D.Educational.‎ ‎ President Theodore Roosevelt is remembered for his speech. His lines included "speak softly and carry a big stick". He also said, "The government is us; we are the government, you and I." But Roosevelt was also a conservationist and his skills came into play in support of that cause.‎ ‎ At the Conference of Governors in 1908, the question of what should be done with America's natural resources was discussed. It might sound ordinary now, but then it was something new. Roosevelt opened the conference with a speech titled "Conservation as a National Duty". Conservation "is second only... to the great fundamental questions of morality". "We have become great in a material sense because of the wasteful use of our resources," he explained. "But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the resources are used up, when the soils shall have been still further impoverished(使贫瘠) and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers and making the fields bare." He said by planning ahead, these could be avoided.‎ ‎ Roosevelt understood there would be impediments when saying resource use should be limited. For centuries citizens held the belief that the land with abundant resources belonged to them and allowed free use (and misuse) for survival and profit. Yet he also knew that was a must.‎ ‎ During his presidential years since 1901, he had worked to establish a system and create national wildlife reserves, but his opening speech in 1908 was a critical moment in conservation. It positioned conservation "in a way that reassessed America's past actions and warned its possible future if nature was not saved". The address greatly affected Americans' view of conservation. It ‎ made conservation sound public and moral rather than a private and economic issue. And Roosevelt did so on a grand stage: his event involved all levels of governments and created a spectacle(壮观的场面) for the press to report on. Newspapers which were filled with advance notice of the Conference of Governors wrote at length about the event and Roosevelt's speech.‎ ‎1. How did Roosevelt stress the importance of conservation in his speech?‎ A. By putting it in a place before morality.‎ B. By listing potential consequences of overdeveloping.‎ C. By criticizing Americans' use of resources.‎ D. By giving examples of environmental destruction.‎ ‎2. What does the underlined word "impediments" in paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A. Approvals. B. Failures. C. Risks. D. Barriers.‎ ‎3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the speech _______.‎ A. was highly valued by newspapers B. won support from all government members C. promoted the establishment of the system D. made conservation a private and economic issue ‎4. Which can be the most suitable title for the text?‎ A. Conservation and Morality, Which Comes First B. President Roosevelt Contributed Much to the US C. An Address Changed Americans' Attitude to Nature D. Roosevelt, a Great Man Remembered for His Speech 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Music makes you more creative. People come up with more creative solutions when they listen to happy music than when they sit in silence, according to researchers. ① Another reason may be that it relaxes you enough for the creative juices to flow. But don’t play music too loudly. Music can help during surgery. ② After surgery, it helps reduce pain. An analysis of 73 studies confirmed that listening to music before, during or after surgery reduces anxiety and pain levels, which in turn means less pain medication. Music makes you get rid of the idea of quitting a workout. Studies have found that when you’re running, biking or walking, you’ll go farther with music on. ③ The effect is so ‎ obviously great that the author of a review examining the psychological effects of music on exercise called music “a type of legal performance-improvement drug”. Music aids sleep. Listening to music before bed can help you fall asleep faster and wake up less often during the night. ④ In one study, seniors with sleep problems who listened to 45 minutes of soft slow music before bed reported a 35 percent improvement in their sleep. ⑤ Scientists have shown repeatedly that people judge a period of waiting shorter when music is playing. Businessmen use that to their advantage, playing music so you stay longer and spend more. For instance, more drinks and food are sold in bars and restaurants when music (especially slow music) is played. And grocery sales increase by 38 percent when the background music is slow. A. Music gets you to ignore the passing of time. B. Music was used to cure patients centuries ago. C. In this case, you’ll feel more relaxed in the morning. D. It may be because music improves your brain’s flexibility. E. Music relieves your discomfort and motivates you to stay on. F. Listening to music before surgery has been shown to ease anxiety. G. You can improve accuracy and efficiency when listening to music.‎ ‎    Austin is a four-year-old boy from Birmingham, Alabama.

Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life. One late night, he suffered from diarrhea(腹泻) and had to wake up his younger brother. His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back to the dorm to wait. But being so tired, his younger brother fell asleep, leaving him in the toilet for two hours till the teacher on duty discovered him. As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems, which made them often quarrel with each other. Then one day, his younger brother became so angry that he wanted to separate from him, living his own life, as many normal people did. So Austin was heartbroken and he was at a loss what to do in the future of his life.‎ ‎    It was really a coincidence that a similar misfortune befell a girl, Ella, too. One night her mother, who suffered from chronic mental illness, left home. So her father went out to look for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parents, accidentally starting a fire in the kitchen, which took her arm's away.‎ ‎    Though her elder sister, who was studying in another city, showed her strong willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely self-reliant. At school, she always studied hard. Most important of all, she learned to be independent. Once she wrote the following in her composition : "I am lucky. Though I lost my arms, I still have legs. I am lucky. Though my wings are broken, my heart can still fly."‎ 注意:‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;‎ ‎2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;‎ ‎4. 续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ ‎    One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program.​‎ ‎ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ ‎    They had both been through the same painful experience, but their different attitudes determined the nature of their lives. ____________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎ ‎ 答案以及解析 答案：1-3 BCA 解析：1. B根据第一段中的"It's where we connect with our family and friends. We have open talks about our pleasures and annoyances we met during the day while we make dinner or have a bite to eat"可知,厨房不仅仅是我们准备食物的地方,也是与人坦诚沟通的地方,因此这里能满足我们身心的需要,故选B项。‎ ‎2. C 结合作者提到的例子,第三段中的"all their opinions about your soup are becoming annoying. Worst of all, you taste the soup and it's awful"以及最后一段中的"what if a kitchen has many cooks? Who is the leader? Everyone! And that's where the trouble comes"可知,多人的意见导致做出很糟糕的汤,由此推断"too many cooks spoil the soup"的意思是"(做主的)人多反误事"。C项"五个设计师均希望自己的想法被采纳",与习语描述的情境相符。A项内容表达了"齐心协力"的情境,故排除;D项内容与习语无关。‎ ‎3. A 通读全文可知,作者通过描绘做汤时三个朋友根据自己的想法在汤里加入各种调味品,结果把汤弄得一团糟的生活场景,解释了"too many cooks spoil the soup"的含义。文章末段的"what if a kitchen has many cooks"也是暗示,因此选 A。 ‎ 答案：1.B; 2.A; 3.D 解析：1.细节理解题.根据第一段As MPA and doctoral students in the Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development of Peking University, they made the trip to Xiaogang, known as cradle of China's rural reform, for a deeper understanding of China's economic reform.作为北京大学南南合作与发展研究所的MPA和博士生,他们去了被称为中国农村改革摇篮的小港之行,以加深对中国经济改革的认识.可知, 他们对中国的经济改革感兴趣.故选B. 2.细节理解题.根据文章内容可知,参观期间,学生们看了一些农村可再生能源设施,参观展览会以了解村庄的历史,被介绍了小港村的快速发展.A.与当时的18位开拓性村民见面.不包括A.故选A. 3.细节理解题.根据最后一段Fu Jun, academic dean of the institute, said the field trip offered students an opportunity to gain a better understanding of China's development experience and different stages of reform and opening-up.该研究所院长傅军说,实地考察为学生提供了一个更好地了解中国发展经验以及改革开放不同阶段的机会.可知,傅军认为这次旅行是有教育意义的.故选D.‎ ‎3.答案：1-4 BDAC 解析：1. B 根据第二段中的"But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the resources are used up, when the soils shall have been still further impoverished (使贫瘠) and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers and making the fields bare"可知,罗斯福总统在他的演讲中列举了过度开发和消耗资源带来的后果,故B项(列举过度开发的潜 在后果)正确。‎ ‎2. D 根据画线词后的"For centuries citizens held the belief that the land with abundant resources belonged to them and allowed free use (and misuse) for survival and profit"可知,长期以来,美国人认为这片资源丰富的土地就是属于他们自己的,可以随意使用,故当罗斯福总统提出应限制资源使用时,他知道会遇到"障碍"。barrier"障碍, 阻力", 故D项正确。‎ ‎3. A 根据最后一段中的"his event... created a spectacle (壮观的场面) for the press to report on. Newspapers which were filled with advance notice of the Conference of Governors wrote at length about the event and Roosevelt's speech"可知,各大报纸做 了很多预先通知,并详细报道了这次事件和罗斯福的演讲,由此可推断,罗斯福的演讲得到了各大报纸的高度重视,故A项正确。‎ ‎4. C 文章开头提到罗斯福总统发挥其口才优势促进自然保护事业的发展,后引出1908年他的关于自然资源保护的演讲, 通过这一演讲,他改变了美国人对自然保护的看法,把自然保护变成了公众关心的问题。故C项正确。 ‎ 答案：DFECA 解析：1. D考查承上启下句。D项中的"It may he because"与空后的Another reason may be"相呼应，均在讲述上文中的"People come up with more creative solutions when they listen to happy music than when they sit in silence"这一现象的原因。 2. F考查细节支撑句。F项中的"before surgery"与上文中的"Music can help during surgery"和空后的"After surgery"相对应，构成一个完整 的信息链，这与下文中的"listening to music before, during or after surgery reduces anxiety arid pain levels"相呼应。 3. E考查细节支撑句。E项中的"motivates you lo stay on"与空前的"go farther with music on"对应，而下文中的"The effect"即指代E项"音 乐缓解你的不适，激励你坚持下去"。 4. C考查细节支撑句。空前讲到睡前听音乐可以帮助你更快入睡，晚上醒来的次数也会减少，故C项"在这种情况下，你早上就会觉得 更轻松"符合语境。 5. A考查 段落主旨句。本段后面内容说的是听音乐能让我们忽略时间的流逝，即让我们感觉时间过得很快，商家借此来让顾客停留的时 间更长一些，因此选A。 ‎ 答案：1.B; 2.A; 3.B; 4.C; 5.D; 6.A; 7.B; 8.D; 9.A; 10.C; 11.B; 12.A; 13.D; 14.C; 15.A; 16.C; 17.D; 18.B; 19.D; 20.C 解析：1.通读全文可知,Austin同情那些无家可归的人们,为他们购买面包,并分发给他们,进而带动了家人和更多的人一起来帮助他们,故此处是总结句,意为"最近,他发现,对不幸的人的同情可以产生惊人的结果"。sympathy"同情";compensation"补偿"。 2.根据下文的"when Austin asked TJ what homelessness meant"可推测,在节目中,母猴子抛弃了她的幼崽,所以Austin才会问TJ "无家可归"的含义。 3.根据上下文可知,Austin想知道"无家可归"的含义,所以爸爸抓住了这个教育良机,带着Austin去了当地的收容所,故选B。 4.根据下文的"that provides housing, food, and other services for homeless men"可知,这个地方为无家可归者提供住所、食物和其他服务;再结合第四段中"shelter"的提示,此处指收留无家可归者的收容所。 5.根据下文的"Can we take them some food and make them smile?"可知,在四岁的Austin看来,那些无家可归的人的脸上没有笑容,所以他们看起来是伤心的。 6.根据下文的"to buy more bread"可知,Austin用自己的零用钱给无家可归的人买了面包。 7.根据第四段中的"Austin to help hand out food in other areas" 可知,Austin又亲自将面包分发给那些无家可归的人。give off"发出(气味、光、热等)";hand in"上交";hand over"移交"。 8.根据语境可知,在认识到他们的出现对无家可归者意味着什么之后,Austin和爸爸在下一周又来了收容所。 9.Austin再次用零用钱为无家可归者购买了面包。dip into此处意为"动用(存款)",符合语境。 10.根据上下文可知,在Austin连续五周,每周都来收容所之后,他的善行通过社交网络得到了传播。 11.根据上文的" word of Austin’s acts of 10 spread via social media" 可知,大众知道了Austin的善行之后纷纷伸出援助之手,汉堡王公司承诺每个月提供1 000美元的捐款。refuse"拒绝";hesitate"疑虑"。 12.全国其他一些地方的收容所也开始邀请Austin前去帮忙分发食物,故选A。 13.根据语境可知,此处表示"多亏了公司和社区的支持,Austin现在同时可以给800到2 000人提供食物",故选D。in spite of"尽管; regardless of"不管";in terms ‎ of"就......而言"。 14.参见上题解析。feed"给……食物"符合语境。 15.根据下文的"She serves as president, and TJ 17 his job in hospital to manage public relations for the foundation full-time"可知, Austin对于无家可归者的热情成了一家人的事业。profession”职业",符合语境。strength"力量,优势";pressure"压力";credit"信用,信誉,赞扬"。 16.根据下文的"She serves as president"可知,Austin的妈妈受Austin的影响,设立了一个机构帮助无家可归者。 17.根据下文的"to manage public relations for the foundation full-time"可知,Austin的爸爸现在在基金会做全职工作,故可知他的爸爸辞去了原有的在医院的工作。  18.根据句意可知,Austin的爸爸目前在和政府官员会谈,以提供医疗和心理健康服务来作为抵抗无家可归的有效措施。 19.根据全文可知,Austin给无家可归者的不仅是食物,更是关心和爱,故选D。 20.Austin不只是帮助当地的无家可归者,而是带动更多的人去帮助那些需要关怀的人,故此处表示"这让我觉得我正在扭转局面"。save the day为固定短语,表示"扭转局面”,符合语境。 ‎ 答案：1.on2.carefully3.brighten4.what5.socks6.chosen7.making8.to visit9.a10.is put 解析： ‎ ‎【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,主題语境是人与社会。文章主要讲述了如何恰当地送礼物。‎ ‎1.on考查介词【解题思路】此处表示在节假日或生日时,具体时间应用介词an。故填on。‎ ‎2. carefully考查词性转换。【解题思路】分析句子结构可知,此处应用副词修饰动词" selected"。故填 carefully。‎ ‎3.brighten考查词性转换。【解题思路】分析句子结构可知,此处缺谓语动词;且空格后是名词,此处应用动词形式。故填 bright。‎ ‎4.what考查宾语从句。【解题思路】分析句子结构可知,空格处引导宾语从句,且从句中缺少宾语,应用what引导该从句。故填what。‎ ‎5.socks考查名词的单复数。【解题思路】 a pair of通常与名词的复数形式搭配。故填socks。‎ ‎6. chosen考查非谓语动词。【解题思路】分析句子结构可知,逻辑主语“ something与动词choose之间是被动关系,所以此处应用其过去分词形式。故填 chosen ‎7. making考查非谓语动词。【解题思路】 try doing sth.意为“尝试做某事”,此处应与上文中的 baking”保持一致。故填 making。‎ ‎8. to visit考查非谓语动词。【解题思路】 promise后接动词不定式作定语,表示“拜访的承诺”。故填 to visit。‎ ‎9.a考查冠词。【解题思路】 once a month意为“一个月一次”,为固定搭配。故填a。‎ ‎10. is put考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。【解题思路】分析句子结构可知,此处表示客观情况,应用一般现在时;且主语“effort”与动词put之间是被动关系,此处应用一般现在时的被动语态;且主语“effort”是不可数名词,谓语动词应用单数形式。故填is put。‎ 答案：‎ Dear Peter,‎ ‎ I'm very glad to learn that you're coining to Beijing as an exchange student and take an interest in what we high school students do after school.‎ ‎ In high schools, there exist different varieties of activities. Among them, photographing, singing, speech contests and all kinds of sports are common as well as popular, and all these benefit us a lot. Playing football and reading stories are my favorites, which not only help build me up and enrich my knowledge, but also help release pressure.‎ ‎ I'm sure you will love the after-school activities here. Looking forward to your coming!‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 答案： ‎ Paragraph 1 :‎ ‎    One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program. They shared their story with the live audience. When the host asked about their expectations of the future, they gave opposite answers. The boy told the host about his uncertain future at being left on his own, whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote "My younger brother’s arms are my arms" , while the girl wrote "Broken wings, flying heart".‎ Paragraph 2 :‎ ‎    They had both been through the same painful experience, but their different attitudes determined the nature of their lives. It is true that life is unpredictable and disasters can strike at ‎ any time. How we handle misfortune when confronted with it, reflects our attitudes to suffering, which can result in completely different lives. If we choose only to complain and escape from the misery, it will always follow us wherever we go. But if we decide to be strong and independent, the hardship will turn out to be the smiling fortune on which new hopes will arise.‎ 解析： ‎ ‎【文章大意】Austin在一场意外中不幸失去双臂,而后他几乎完全依赖自己弟弟的照顾,因此他们形影不离,最终弟弟选择去过自己的生活,因此Austin十分难过,陷入深深的彷徨中。而女孩Ella也因意外失去了双臂,但是她选择自己积极地面对这个不幸。‎ ‎【写作指导】Paragraph 1的开头是"一天,男孩和女孩两人被邀请参加一档电视访谈节目",再结合第二段的开头可知,第一段应该描述这两位年轻人与现场观众分享自己的故事,在主持人问到相同问题时的不同答复,以展现他们对生活苦难的不同态度。写作时可用关鍵词:arms, toes, future, wings 等。‎ Paragraph 2的开头是"他们都有过同样的痛苦经历,但是他们不同的态度决定他们不同的人生特点",显然接下来的内容应该是对应文章第一段,总结升华主题,阐述面对生活苦难时,不同的人生态度会导致不同的人生。写作时可用关鍵词:attitudes, misfortune, strong, independent等。‎
