2020年普通高等学校招生统一考试英语模拟卷6
2020年普通高等学校招生统一考试 英语卷(六) (时间:100分钟,满分:120分) 第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分35分) 第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分) 阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A (2019·长沙市模拟) On average,Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices(设备) and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors.That is a claim made by David Strayer,a professor of psychology at the University of Utah.In his 2017 TED Talk,Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired. Using an electronic device to answer emails,listen to the news and look at social media puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain,which,Strayer explains,is important for critical(有判断力的) thinking,problemsolving and decisionmaking. So,it is important to give the brain a rest.And being in nature,Strayer claims,helps get a tired brain away from too much technology.More than 15,000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September.That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days.They take walks,climb,explore,swim,sleep,eat and play.Camping may be just what a tired brain needs. Take Carl for example.He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping.He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease.It also prepares him for the work he must do.Kate Somers is another example who also lives in West Virginia.She says she enjoys camping with her husband and two children.She calls it a“regenerative”experience. At the University of Utah,David Strayer has studied both shortterm and longterm exposure to nature.He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better.However,he found,it is the longterm contact with nature that does the most good.He and his research team found that spending three days in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself. 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。作者讲述了如今长时间使用电子设备对大脑的危害,鼓励人们放下这些电子设备,去户外让大脑休息一下。 1.What is David Strayer's opinion? A.Americans dislike outdoor activities. B.Electronic equipment should be quitted. C.New technologies ate a doubleedged sword. D.Electronic equipment brings great convenience. C [考查推理判断。依据第一段可知,David Strayer认为过多使用电子设备导致大脑疲劳,第二段中的“answer emails,listen to the news and look at social media”暗示着电子设备给我们生活带来的便利,因此科技有利有弊,选项C正确。] 2.Why does Strayer insist we go outdoors? A.To try another lifestyle. B.To refresh our brain. C.To make better decisions. D.To play with our family and friends. B [考查细节理解。依据前两段可知,过多使用电子设备会导致大脑疲劳,根据第三段可知,我们需要让大脑休息一下,而走进大自然可以让我们疲惫的大脑远离电子设备,从而让大脑恢复活力,因此选B项。] 3.What does the underlined word“regenerative”mean? A.Reborn. B.Memorable. C.Remarkable. D.Tiring. A [考查词义猜测。画线词所在段中作者列举Carl的事例说明,户外活动能使他放松并更好地工作,作者提到的“Kate Somers is another example...two children”暗示着,Kate与家人在户外的活动也给了她活力,因此选A项,画线词表示“有再生作用的,有再造能力的”。] B (2019·潍坊市统一考试) Digital grounding is when parents or caregivers limit or completely take away access to technology from children.According to a study conducted by Pew Research,65% of parents have digitally grounded their teen by taking away their teen's cellphone or Internet access as punishment. Because children are so connected with their technologies,digital grounding may seem like a logical step for parents.Take away a child's most cherished item and they will quickly learn from their behavior.But the idea of digital grounding isn't as clearcut as that.Instead,it may be a loselose situation for parents and kids,alike. For most parents,the goal of grounding isn't to make their children unhappy or sad.It is to teach a lesson in the hope that they won't engage in whatever behavior gets them in trouble in the first place.Unfortunately,though,digital grounding is often just punishment,not discipline.If a child stays out past curfew(宵禁时间),a punishment would be hitting or yelling at them.Discipline would be not letting them go out the next weekend because they fail to follow rules. We've all been there—we've caught our child doing something wrong and in the heat of the moment laid out a strict punishment.We may have been feeling hotheaded,embarrassed, or dismayed.Often,though,these punishments aren't aligned with the bad behavior. While digital grounding may solve the problem temporarily,it won't provide children with the guidance they need to act appropriately in the future.Instead of grounding,show your child what they did wrong and give them the chance to act differently.This way,they will learn from their mistakes in a practical manner and figure out ways to be safe and smart with technology. There's no denying it:technology is here for the longhaul.This is why some parenting experts don't recommend digitally grounding your children.It doesn't focus on the end goal of safe behavior.They recommend teaching them good habits as soon as possible,rather than taking away their technology.By digitally grounding them,you are putting a bandage over the wound,rather than treating it. Now,when we say that digital grounding is a loselose situation,we're not saying that disciplining your children in general is a loselose situation.Discipline is a great way to teach children lessons,when used appropriately. 【语篇解读】 本文主要讨论了当孩子们犯错时要不要限制他们使用数码产品。 4.Which of the following is a form of discipline? A.Hitting or yelling at children. B.Laying out a strict punishment in the heat of the moment. C.Taking away access to cellphones from children completely. D.Forbidding kids to go out the next weekend if they stay out past curfew. D [考查细节理解。根据第三段最后两句可知,如果孩子晚上超过宵禁时间没回家,下个周末就不让他们出去是一种管教方式,故选D。] 5.What does the author suggest parents do instead of grounding? A.Give kids more free time. B.Act appropriately in public. C.Help kids form good habits. D.Put a bandage over the wound. C [考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段第四句“They recommend teaching them good habits as soon as possible,rather than taking away their technology”可知,作者建议父母帮助孩子们养成良好的习惯,而不是去限制孩子们使用数码产品,故选C。] 6.What's the purpose of the text? A.To inform us of ways of punishing kids. B.To explain what digital grounding means. C.To show how to parent children in digital times. D.To prove digital grounding is not a good parenting way. D [考查写作意图。根据对全文的整体理解,并结合文中关键词“digital grounding”可推知,本文的目的在于说明限制孩子们使用数码产品并不是一种很好的家教方式,故选D。] C (2019·安徽省五校联盟质检) Weather could power the next generation of smart windows.Researchers have created glass by harvesting energy from wind and precipitation(降水).The approach offers an alternative to other smart windows powered by batteries,solar panels,and even standard power outlets.“The creation represents a new kind of renewable energy source,”says Liming Dai,a nanomaterial engineer at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland,Ohio,who was not involved in the research. Smart glass,which changes its characteristics to block out light,has been around for decades.Common examples include glarefighting rearview(后视) car mirrors and windows that change color for energy savings and privacy.But many are expensive,and people are still looking for ecofriendly ways to power the windows.Batteries and plugin outlets aren't apparently“green”,and builtin solar panels can cloud or hide parts of the glass. In experiments,the glass produced up to 130 milliwatts per square meter,enough to power a pacemaker or a smart phone while it's asleep,the team reported online last month in ACS Nano.This output might suit many applications,such as being a power source for home or office electronics,says codeveloper and scientist Zhong Lin Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.Since their first project in 2012,a lightup sidewalk powered by footsteps,he and his colleagues have miniaturized their generators to create everything from selfcleaning keyboards to sensors for security systems. But Wang and his colleagues still have more work to do before this smart glass is ready for commercialization.Now,the glass has no way to store the energy it creates.To solve this problem,Dai says,transparent super capacitors(电容器) could be placed into the glass without decreasing visibility. For now,the team wants to improve the energy efficiency of their nanogenerators.These tiny power plants can convert about 60% of the mechanical energy that they encounter into electricity.“The output power is a constant goal,”Wang says.“Free energy surrounds us,and anything can happen if you take control of it.” 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种能供电的智能玻璃。该玻璃可以利用风力和降水产生电能,是一种绿色环保的能源产品,但该产品仍面临诸多问题,如电能储存问题。 7.What is unique about the smart glass? A.It can protect privacy. B.It is more expensive. C.It is powered by weather. D.It can block out light. C [考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句“Researchers have created glass by harvesting energy from wind and precipitation(降水)”可知,这种智能玻璃的特别之处是可以利用风力和降水获取能量,故C项正确。] 8.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A.The research history of Zhong Lin Wang. B.The experimental process of Zhong Lin Wang. C.The research theory of Zhong Lin Wang's team. D.The experimental findings of Zhong Lin Wang's team. D [考查段落大意。根据第三段的内容尤其是该段首句“In experiments,the glass produced up to 130 milliwatts per square meter,enough to power a pacemaker or a smart phone while it's asleep,the team reported online last month in ACS Nano”可知,该段主要说明了该团队的实验结果,故D项正确。] 9.What is the drawback of the smart glass? A.It cannot keep its produced electricity. B.It cannot suit the super capacitors. C.It cannot power a smart phone. D.It cannot change its color according to weather. A [考查细节理解。根据第四段第二句“Now,the glass has no way to store the energy it creates”可知,目前该产品的缺陷是无法储存其产生的能量,故A项正确。] 10.Which of the following best explains“convert”underlined in the last paragraph? A.Consume. B.Transform. C.Waste D.Reserve. B [考查词义猜测。根据尾段第二句“These tiny power plants can convert about 60% of the mechanical energy that they encounter into electricity”可知,这些微型发电机可以将智能玻璃收集到的60%的机械能转化为电能。据此可推知,画线词意为“转化”,故B项正确。A项意为“消耗”,C项意为“浪费”,D项意为“贮备”,都与文意不符。] 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。 (2019·山西省六校测试)Schools consume a large amount of energy,which has a bad effect on the environment. 11 ,there are lots of ways that you can help your school save energy.Look for simple changes your school can make and band together with others to make an even bigger effect. 12 .Even something as simple as turning off the lights when you leave a room can help to save energy.Turn off the lights in classrooms that are not being used and in other areas, such as empty bathrooms and unoccupied multipurpose rooms.

The birds can go years without nesting successfully. But this year's recordbreaking temperatures on the Continent led to a 37.surprising(surprise) thing at the reserve — six of the flock(鸟群) laid nine eggs. Some efforts have been made 38.to encourage (encourage) the flock, but there's no doubt that the recent heat has had the desired effect. 39.Unfortunately(unfortunate), none of the eggs could hatch, so no new Andean flamingos would be born. To stop the flamingos 40.feeling(feel) unhappy about their empty nests, caretakers took a few eggs from Chilean flamingos and 41.planted(plant) them among the Andean birds for them to hatch and look after. The Andean flamingos are some of the oldest at the reserve, 42.where all six flamingo species live. A few flamingos arrived in the 1960s, and some of them have been there 43.longer(long) than staff members. Both the Andean and Chilean flamingos are considered 44.in danger of extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the world's oldest global environmental 45.organization(organize). 第三部分 写作(共两节,满分40分) 第一节 应用文写作(满分15分) 假定你是李华,你的美国笔友Charlie对中国文化很感兴趣。他和家人将于今年农历新年来中国旅游,请你给他写一封电子邮件,内容包括: 1.欢迎他们来中国; 2.旅行前的准备。 注意: 1.词数80左右; 2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。 【参考范文】 Dear Charlie I'm delighted to know you are coming to China with your family during the Chinese Lunar New Year,which is a great chance for you to experience Chinese culture personally.Here I am writing to offer you some advice.

But as Louie,a sheepdog rescued from a shelter when he was just a puppy,got older,his trips got shorter and shorter.Now that Louie is 12 years old,he chooses to stay close to home and hardly ever goes out to explore any more,which is why his family was so worried when he recently disappeared and didn't return home as usual. “My mother was a little upset as he had stopped his wandering,” said Marolyn Diver,whose parents own Louie.“We were very concerned that he might forget where his home was.” But thankfully,Louie turned up at the house a few hours later.“He looked so tired and had basically just collapsed(崩溃),” Marolyn said.“We were concerned that someone might have hurt him.But then we realized there was a small note attached to Louie's collar.After reading the note,I felt complete relief and relaxed,and then my heart melted.” “Louie is the hero of the day,” read the note,which was written by a neighbor about a mile away.“He led me to Maddy in distress stuck under a pile of branches.Cheers,Rob.” “According to Rob,Louie was waiting for him at his house and demanded to be followed.Rob said that he was 100 percent sure that Louie knew what he was doing,and leading him to Maddy was his pure focus,” Marolyn explained. 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: Once Rob found Maddy,Louie helped him dig her out. Paragraph 2: “That night we were very worried about Louie,” Marolyn said. 【参考范文】 Once Rob found Maddy,Louie helped him dig her out.According to Rob,Louie pulled at branches and dug her out of the ground.Rob said that as soon as Maddy was free,both dogs ran to a nearby pond and jumped into it and began to drink water.Then he gave Louie a huge handful of dog biscuits as a thank-you.He knew that Louie might get in trouble for being late for home,so he thought he would write a small note to explain why Louie was absent. “That night we were very worried about Louie,” Marolyn said.“He could hardly walk and looked terrible.We were concerned that he might not make it through the night.” Thankfully,Louie was back to normal the next morning when Rob came by with Maddy for a visit.Marolyn said,“It has changed the way I look at him.And I think my parents feel the same way.I'm so proud of him.”查看更多
