浙江省杭州市第二中学 2020 届高三上学期选考模拟 英语试题 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，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸 上将该项涂黑。 A In the middle of a hot July afternoon, I became a thief of some sort — a thief of music. For the first time, I created an original piano arrangement of one of my favorite songs. Using only my ears and iPad, I transformed a mix of sounds and melodies into the tones of a single instrument; I created complex harmonies (和声) and voices into something I could perform with only two hands. No help, no guide — I did it on my own. I've been a pianist since my hands grew big enough to touch the piano. With my father as a musician, I was all but born on the piano bench. For many years, my musical identity was defined by the notes that others had written in the past centuries: elegant lines of neatly printed notes stamped across the sheet music became the script I had to perform. I valued classical music — adored it — but I felt such performances were shallow. I had nothing of my own to contribute to the masterful compositions of Bach or Rachmaninov. This was why, when I put the finishing touches to my piano version of a modem song, my pride was glorious: this arrangement was mine. What I'd done seemed magical: an ability to take what had already existed — to "steal" a song from my favorite band — and to change it into something different all on my own. I was a thief but I was also an artist. In music, as in other aspects of life, I believe that true originality rarely exists. Almost everything has been done before, in one form or another. The most passionate romance novel may be a slightly changed version of a play written by Shakespeare, which in turn was borrowed from the writers of Ancient Greece: the same themes, different characters, and different circumstances. But the novel no less deserves praise just because its uniqueness is compromised. The gift of creativity is just like the ability to do what I did on the piano: to find out something beautiful, to analyze and change it and lose yourself in the mystery of its composition, and then to make it new. Such an act is not copying; it is finding inspiration and having the strength and the innovation to use it as fuel for your own masterpiece. 1. Why did the author create the piano arrangement? A. Because he was not satisfied with the old one. B. Because he wanted to create music of his own. C. Because he was tired of his father's music-teaching method. D. Because he wanted to show respect for Bach and Rachmaninov. 2. By mentioning Shakespeare, the author wants to tell us______. A. there is no true creativity in music. B. Shakespeare9s plays are totally original. C. many of Shakespeare,s plays deserve no praise. D. originality is connected with what has already existed. 3. We can conclude from the passage that______. A. creativity is to find something beautiful. B. adaptation has nothing to do with creativity. C. a masterpiece can be a changed version of an existed work. D. common people don't have the ability to create something new. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【分析】 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文以作者创作了一首自己最喜欢的钢琴原创曲为例，论述了在 音乐方面，真正的创造力很少存在，创造力都是与已经存在的东西相联系的。作者认为这种 借鉴以前作品进行再创造是有意义和价值的。 【1 题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段“This was why, when I put the finishing touches to my piano version of a modem song, my pride was glorious: this arrangement was mine.”可知，这就是为什么，当 我对一首现代歌曲的钢琴版本进行最后润色时，我的自豪感油然而生：这样的改编是我自己 的创作。由此可知，作者要创作钢琴编曲是因为他想创作自己的音乐。故选 B 项。 【2 题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段“I believe that true originality rarely exists. Almost everything has been done before, in one form or another. The most passionate romance novel may be a slightly changed version of a play written by Shakespeare”可知，我相信真正的创造力很少存在。几乎 以前所有的事情都以这样或那样的形式被做过了。充满激情的浪漫小说可能是莎士比亚戏剧 的稍有变化的版本。所以推断出，通过提到莎士比亚，作者想告诉我们创造力是与已经存在 的东西相联系的。故选 D 项。 【3 题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段“The most passionate romance novel may be a slightly changed version of a play written by Shakespeare, which in turn was borrowed from the writers of Ancient Greece”可知，充满激情的浪漫小说可能是莎士比亚戏剧的稍有变化的版本，而莎士比亚戏 剧又是从古希腊作家那里借来的。所以根据关键词“changed version of a play written by Shakespeare, which in turn was borrowed from the writers of Ancient Greece” 推断出，杰作可以 是已存在作品的改版。故选 C 项。 【易错分析】3. We can conclude from the passage that______. A. creativity is to find something beautiful 这是原文直接给出的内容，不是要推理的内容 B. adaptation has nothing to do with creativity 与原文违背 C. a masterpiece can be a changed version of an existed work 正确答案 D. common people don't have the ability to create something new 短文未提及 抓住特定信息进行逆向或者正向推理。做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息， 即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断，利用逆向思维或正面推理，从而推断出这句话所 隐含的深层含义。由第四段“The most passionate romance novel may be a slightly changed version of a play written by Shakespeare, which in turn was borrowed from the writers of Ancient Greece ”可知，最有激情的浪漫小说可能是莎士比亚戏剧的稍有变化的版本，而莎士比亚戏 剧又是从古希腊作家那里借来的。所以根据关键词“changed version of a play written by Shakespeare, which in turn was borrowed from the writers of Ancient Greece”推断出，杰作可以 是已存在作品的改版。故小题 3 选 C 项。 B When you start working on something but don't finish it, thoughts of the unfinished work continue to jump into your mind even when you've moved on to other things. Psychologists refer the phenomenon as the Zeigamik effect. The effect was first observed by a Russian psychologist named Bluma Zeigamik. While sitting in a busy restaurant in Vienna, she noted the waiters had better memories of unpaid orders. Once the bill was paid, however, the waiters had difficulty remembering the exact details of the orders. In one of her studies, participants were asked to complete simple tasks such as putting together puzzles, or solving math problems. Half of the participants were interrupted halfway through these tasks. After an hour-long delay, Zeigamik asked the participants to give an account of what they'd been working on. She discovered that those who had their work interrupted were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as those who had actually completed the tasks. We can use this effect to our advantage. For example, if you're struggling to memorize something important, momentary interruptions might actually work to your advantage. Rather than simply remember the information over and over again, review it several times and then take a break. While you're focusing on other things, you'll find yourself mentally returning to the information you were studying. We often put off tasks until the last moment, only completing them in a rush at the last possible moment. Unfortunately, this tendency can lead to heavy stress and even poor performance. One way to overcome this is to put the Zeigamik effect to work. Start by taking the first step, no matter how small. Once you have begun — but not finished — your work, you'll find yourself thinking of the task until, at last, you finish it. You might not finish it all at once, but each small step you take puts you closer to your final goal. 4. What does the Zeigamik effect refer to? A. Waiters tend to have good memories. B. Once interrupted, one will forget things easily. C. Most people can't focus on one thing for a long time. D. People remember unfinished tasks better than completed ones. 5. How should we study according to the Zeigamik effect? A. Repeat over and over again. B. Divide our study session. C. Focus on several tasks at a time. D. Have enough rest before studying. 6. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. How to get rid of heavy stress. B. Why we should set a final goal. C. How to break the habit of delaying work. D. Why we always complete tasks in a rush. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了 Zeigamik 效应。 【4 题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段“She discovered that those who had their work interrupted were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as those who had actually completed the tasks.” 可知，她发现那些工作被打断的人记得他们一直在做什么的可能性是那些实际完成任务的人 可能性的两倍。所以 Zeigamik 效应指的是人们记得未完成的任务比已完成的任务更清楚。 故选 D 项。 【5 题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第二段“Rather than simply remember the information over and over again, review it several times and then take a break. While you're focusing on other things, you'll find yourself mentally returning to the information you were studying.”可知，与其简单地一遍又 一遍地记住这些信息，不如复习几次，然后休息一下。当你专注于其他事情时，你会发现自 己在精神上回到了正在学习的信息。所以根据 Zeigamik 效应，在学习时我们应该划分我们 的学习时段。故选 B 项。 【6 题详解】 主旨大意题。由最后一段“One way to overcome this is to put the Zeigamik effect to work. Start by taking the first step, no matter how small. Once you have begun—but not finished—your work, you'll find yourself thinking of the task until, at last, you finish it. You might not finish it all at once, but each small step you take puts you closer to your final goal.”可知，克服这个问题的一 个方法是让 Zeigamik 效应发挥作用。从迈出第一步开始，不管有多小。一旦你已经开始但 还没有完成你的工作，你会发现自己一直在思考这个任务，直到你最终完成它。你也许不能 一下子完成，但你迈出的每一小步都会让你离最终目标更近。所以最后一段的大意是如何改 掉拖延工作的习惯。故选 C 项。 C With smart technology increasingly influencing all aspects of our lives, it is only a matter of time before someone invents “smart” shoes—ones that can be made based on personal needs. Called “ShiftWear”, the sneakers are the brainchild of a team of businessmen, and engineers led by New York-based designer David Coel. The adaptable shoes can be customized by using a smart phone app. Shoe owners will have the option of selecting a design from a variety of HD pattern by famous artists or creating one themselves. The company’s founders imagine a marketplace where artists can not only share but also sell their designs to others. Despite being electronic, the designs are clearly visible even in the brightest sunlight. What’s even cooler is that by switching on a backlight, users can even show off their designs in the dark! According to Coel, the sneakers will keep their charge “forever” if only images are displayed. Though they will need periodic recharging, active users have nothing to worry about. That’s because the shoes are equipped with special walk-n-charge technology that powers the shoes—with every step. Inactive users also have options of charging the sneakers without using wires. The bottom part of the shoes is covered with Kevler fibers, a kind of strong material, reducing normal wear and tear. Even better? They are completely waterproof (not let water through) and can even be thrown into an ordinary laundry machine for a quick wash! The company predicts that the shoes will range the price from $150 to $1000 depending on the size of the E-panels where the designs are displayed. This is not the first time that electronics and shoes have combined. Lithuania-based iShuh Technology has come up with a similar concept that connects e-reader panels to a smart phone app via the Bluetooth. Whether these smart shoes become as popular as our smart devices remains to be seen, though they surely are attractive. 7. What can we know about the smart shoes from the text? A. The electronic designs can not be seen clearly at night. B. The designers make sure every pair of sneakers are unique. C. The bottom of the shoes can last longer due to special materials. D. The shoes have to be washed by hand to protect the electronics. 8. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. How the sneakers are charged. B. How the sneakers can work well. C. What images the sneakers show. D. What technology the sneakers carry. 9. The varied prices of the sneakers mainly depend on ________. A. the length of the shoes B. the size of their e-panels C. the designers of the shoes D. the materials of their bottoms 10. How does the author feel about the sneakers’ future market? A. Negative. B. Anxious. C. Uncertain. D. Confident. 【答案】7. C 8. A 9. B 10. C 【解析】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了智能鞋以及背后的充电技术以及市场前景。 【7 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 The adaptable shoes can be customized by using a smart phone app. Shoe owners will have the option of selecting a design from a variety of HD pattern by famous artists or creating one themselves.可知，智能鞋可以通过软件来定制，可以选择一个款 式或者自己设计，每一款鞋都是不一样的，故选 C。 【8 题详解】 主旨大意题。本段主要讲述智能鞋动力的问题，只要穿着智能鞋行走就可以充电。故选 A。 【9 题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 The company predicts that the shoes will range the price from $150 to $1000 depending on the size of the E-panels where the designs are displayed.可知，价格 不同的原因是用于展示设计的电子展示板的尺寸不一样，故选 B。 【10 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 Whether these smart shoes become as popular as our smart devices remains to be seen, though they surely are attractive.可知，尽管很有吸引力，但能否像 智能手机那么流行仍待观察，故可知作者对此态度不确定的。故选 C。 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。 Countless parents have kids who just want to eat chickens pasta, or macaroni and cheese, and definitely without any vegetables.

She had no choice but moved from New Zealand to Canada to live with her father Thomas. Thomas was an inventor, living on a farm. He brought Amy back to his messy house, which had not been cleaned up for years. Most of the rooms in the house were used for storing his gliders (滑翔机) and their parts. One day, Amy happened to see Thomas testing his glider but he soon crashed in the surrounding field. Scared and unsure if her father was all right, Amy heard his father's shout of triumph. She couldn't understand her father strange behavior so that she barely talked with him. "My new life is absolutely miserable!" Amy thought with tears in her eyes. It was not until Amy found the eggs that her life changed. While exploring the area around the farm, Amy discovered an abandoned nest of 16 goose eggs under a fallen tree. She gathered all of the eggs and brought them back to the bam where she took a heating lamp to provide light and warmth for them. One afternoon after school, Amy was thrilled to discover all of the eggs had hatched. The baby geese and Amy looked at each other and a bond immediately formed. The geese assumed Amy, the first thing they saw, was their mother. Amy asked his father, “Can I keep the baby geese, please?" "Yes," Thomas agreed. Although he knew there would be a lot of challenges waiting for them, it might be a chance to improve their relationship. Looking after the baby geese very carefully, Amy even named all of them like a real mother. Soon winter arrived, it was the time for migrant birds like geese to go south for the cold days. Thomas made a great many attempts to teach the geese to fly but none of them followed him. They just stuck close to Amy all the time. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 应使用 5 个以上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： Frustrated, Thomas decided to teach Amy, their mother ", how to fly. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Finally that day came, Thomas and Amy each flew a glider, leading the geese towards south. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1： Frustrated, Thomas decided to teach Amy, their mother, how to fly.

Paragraph 2： Finally that day came, Thomas and Amy each flew a glider, leading the geese towards south. After the incident, Amy considered his father was one of the greatest inventors.
