2020 年 7 月浙江省普通高中学业水平考试英语仿真模拟卷 01 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分 35分) 第一节(共 10个小题;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 It was Monday. Mrs Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house. Considering that there was no better way, Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it, "Give my dog half a pound of meat." Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, "Take this to the butcher(卖肉者), and he's going to give you your lunch today." Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and pleasantly did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately. At midday, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more. The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers. However, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, "This is a small dog. Why does Mrs Smith give it so much meat to eat today?" Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it! 21.When Mrs Smith's dog was hungry, what did she give to the dog? A. Some chicken. B. Half a pound of meat. C.A hot dog. D.A piece of paper with some words on it. 22. Mrs Smith treated her little dog quite _______. A. rudely B. proudly C. friendly D. angrily 23.From its experience, the dog found that _______. A.only the paper with Mrs Smith's words on it could bring it meat B.a piece of paper could bring it half a pound of meat C.the butcher would give the meat to it whenever he saw it D.Mrs Smith would pay for the meat it got from the butcher 答案:21-23 DCB 文章大意:本文为记叙文。文章讲述了一只聪明的狗获取食物的故事。 解析: 21.细节理解题。根据第二段中的"...Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it... Then she gave the paper to her dog..."可知,史密斯夫人把一张写着一句话的纸给了她的狗,故选 D项。 22.细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently..."中的 gently可知,史密 斯夫人对她的小狗很友善,故选 C项。 23.推理判断题。根据第五段中的"...for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers."和最后一段中的"…he found that there were not any words on it!"可知,卖肉的人从第三次开始就没有看纸上的字,而是直接把肉给 了小狗,后来卖肉的人发现小狗送来的是白纸,说明小狗认为只要带一张纸,就能得到一块肉,故选 B项。 B An experimental clean-up device called RemoveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net around a dummy(仿真的) satellite, simulating a technique that could one clay collect spaceborne garbage. The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration of space clean-up technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space. Millions of pieces of space junk are turning around in orbit, the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashing with a satellite can cause critical(严重的) damage. Various companies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into low-Earth orbit, already the most crowded area. The RemoveDEBRIS experiment is run by a company and researchers led by the U. K.’s Surrey Space Centre and includes Airbus, Airbus-owned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and Fiance’s ArianeGroup. Guglielmo Aglietti, director of the Surrey Space Centre, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRIS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris(碎片) can be dragged out of orbits. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long. The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coining months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris. There are still enormous barriers to clear before operational clean-up tasks are underway, he said, and the most discouraging is figuring out how to fund such projects. Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said, "The challenge will lie in persuading the relevant authorities to sponsor these tasks." Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few clean-up tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits. 24. What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite? A.Disposing of space wastes. B.Demonstrating space technology. C.Imitating a developing technique. D.Solving serious junk problems. 25.How does the RemoveDEBRIS satellite work? A.By throwing a net to take the junk from orbits. B.By fastening it to the main satellite tightly. C.By dragging satellites up to 10 meters long. D.By targeting large pieces of junk carefully. 26.What does the underlined word “sponsor” in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Accomplish. B.Support. C.Oppose. D.Provide. 27.What’s the best title for the text? A.A Critical Issue: Junk in Space B.How RemoveDEBRIS Is Developed C.Why the RemoveDEBRIS Satellite Is Invented D.RemoveDEBRIS Collects Space Junk for the First Time 答案:24-27.AABD 文章大意:本文为说明文。文章介绍了一项新的技术,该技术可以用来清理太空轨道的垃圾。 解析: 24.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"it symbolizes an early step... junk in space"可知,RemoveDEBRIS卫星的用 途是处理太空垃圾。故选 A。 25.考查细节理解。由第六段第一句可知,RemoveDEBRIS 卫星是通过撒网将碎片拖出轨道来运作的。故选 A。 26.考查词义猜测。根据第八段内容可知,目前最令人沮丧的是弄清楚如何为这些项目提供资金,由此可推知, 现在的挑战是说服相关部门资助这些任务,为这些项目提供资金支持。故可推测画线单词意为“资助",故选 B。 27.考查主旨大意。通读全文尤其是第二段内容可知,本文主要介绍了 RemoveDEBRIS卫星的相关信息。故 D选项最符合题意。 C While visiting the North Pole in winter may not be at the top of your list, the ever-changing ICEHOTEL, which opened its doors to visitors on December 14 this year, may change your mind. Lying 200 km north of the Arctic Circle in Jukkasjärvi, the hotel, which is carved entirely from ice, is rebuilt annually, with each getting increasingly beautiful and impressive. The 29-year-old tradition began accidentally in 1989, after Jukkasjärvi residents organized an art show in a 5.5-square-meter ice house to try to call tourists’ attention to the remote village during the freezing winter months. The exhibition was a huge success, attracting many day visitors. However, it was not until a group of adventurous souls arrived with sleeping bags, announcing their intention to spend the night inside the house, that the idea of the frozen hotel was born. The ICEHOTEL has come a long way since its beginnings. It covers an area of over 5,500 square meters. The planning begins months earlier in March when about 5,000 tons of ice are harvested from the river and transferred to cold storage, where they sit till the beginning of winter. Construction begins in earnest in November, when about 100 workers come to the region. By December, the unique frozen accommodation is ready to open for business. Regardless of whether visitors select the luxury carved suites or the basic ice rooms, the temperature is always set to a bone-chilling -5°C! That is why guests are advised to lie close inside warm sleeping bags and wear gloves and winter hats all night. Not surprisingly, most end up spending just a single night at this unique hotel before moving on to the conventional, and warmer, cabins nearby. In addition to the unique rooms, the hotel also offers guests fun activities like snowshoeing, or dog sledding, and for those brave enough to suffer through the below freezing temperatures — overnight wilderness camping! The hotel’s single restaurant serves food, while the drinks are always chilled to perfection in the world-famous ICEBAR! 28.Why did Jukkasjärvi residents organize an art show in 1989? A.To attract tourists. B.To follow a tradition. C.To excite adventurers. D.To experience cold. 29.How to deal with tons of ice harvested from the river in March? A.Carve them roughly. B.Keep them with cold storage. C.Design unique forms. D.Construct them slowly. 30.What’s the best title for the passage? A.ICEHOTEL, a Wise Choice B.ICEHOTEL Is in the Arctic Circle C.ICEHOTEL Has a Unique Scenery D.ICEHOTEL Opens for the 29th Year 答案:28-30.ABD 文章大意:文本为记叙文。文章介绍了北极附近的一家旅馆及其相关服务。 解析: 28.细节理解题。根据第二段中的 after Jukkasjärvi residents organized an art show in a 5.5-square-meter ice house to try to call tourists’ attention to the remote village 可知,其目的是为了吸引游客。 29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的 when about 5,000 tons of ice are harvested from the river and transferred to cold storage 可知,这些冰要冷藏。 30.主旨大意题。由全文内容可知,本文主要讲述了今年是冰屋对游客开放的第 29 个年头,并对冰屋的建造目 的以及体验项目作了相关的介绍,故 D 项作文章的标题最为合适。 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。 Spot lights are not just for rock concerts and Broadway shows. There are many ways to use them around your home's exterior as well. You can use them to add safety to a stairwell, prevent intruders from entering your home or show off your favorite rose hush. 31 . Learning the advantages of this option will help you decide whether they are right for your home. Solar spot lights are highly energy efficient. Since they are operated solely using power from the sun, they will save you money and help the environment over time. 32 , so you do not need a large upfront investment prior to seeing savings once you are using them. 33 . Since they do not require direct electricity, there is no wiring to worry about and typically, no special tools required. You can install them virtually anywhere, staking them into the ground, hanging them from the eaves of your home or even attaching them to siding, brick or trees in your yard. Solar spot lights are very safe to use, as well. 34 when installing the lights. You can confidently place them near a swimming pool or other water source with no qualms, and you do not need to be concerned about wires being struck or cut when pets dig, children play or you spend time gardening in your yard. 35 . You should wipe them regularly with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt that build up over time. They do require batteries, but they generally last a year or longer, and you can always buy a set of rechargeable batteries to make your lights even more frugal (节约的) and environmentally friendly. A.Finally, they are easy to maintain B.They are extremely easy to install C.lastly, they do not require direct electricity D.Solar energy is a free, inexhaustible resource E.Again, they need no wiring, so there is no risk of electrical shock F.In addition, they are not particularly expensive to purchase either G.If you should decide to use them, consider installing solar spot lights 答案:31-35 GFBEA 文章大意:本文为说明文。文章介绍了聚光灯的好处。 解析: 31. 考查承上启下句。根据空后的"Learning the advantages of this option will help you decide whether they are right for your home"可知,前一句话应该是关于一个选择。而空前谈了聚光灯的种种用途,故此处应该与一 种聚光灯有关,且第二段中的"Solar spot lights"也是提示,答案为 G项。 32.考查承上启下句。空前谈到太阳能聚光灯可以省钱和改善环境,再根据空后的"so you do not need a large upfront investment prior to seeing savings once you are using them"可知,F项"此外,购买太阳能聚光灯也不太 贵"符合题意,故答案为 F项。 33.考查段落主旨句。分析段落结构可知,设空处为本段的主旨句。本段主要讲太阳能聚光灯容易安装这一优 点,选项 B内容"They are extremely easy to install"符合要求,尤其是"easy to install"与下文内容对应,故选 B 项。 34.考查细节支撑句。分析段落结构可知,本段第一句为主旨句,主要讲的是太阳能聚光灯的安全性。设空 处的时间状语"when installing the lights"表明本句谈的是装聚光灯时的安全性,同时下文的叙述也说明这里谈 的是电线问题。选项 E内容符合上述要求,故答案为 E项。 35.考查段落主旨句。根据空后内容可知,这一段谈的是这种灯容易维护。分析段落结构可知,设空处为主 旨句,同时也是本文谈的这种灯的最后一个优点,选项 A中"Finally"与前几段构成先后关系,"easy to maintain"与下文对应,故选 A项。 第三部分:语言运用(共两节,满分 45分) 第一节:完形填空(共 20小题;每小题 1.5分,共 30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 All of us in Monte Vista Christian School know we’ll one day have graduation photos for the yearbook taken.

Chopsticks are usually two long, thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Truly elegant chopsticks might 57 (make) of gold and silver with Chinese characters. Skilled workers also combine various hardwoods and metal 58 (create) special designs. The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in large pots, 59 (use) twigs(树枝) to remove it. Over time, 60 the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly. Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which 61 (gradual) turned into chopsticks. Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius, 62 lived from roughly 551 to 479 B.C., influenced the 63 (develop) of chopsticks. Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and 64 (be) too violent for use at the table. Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia.

One possible version: Dear Tom, I am more than glad to know that you are very interested in the 11th National Traditional Games of Ethnic Minorities of the PRC. I feel it an honor to tell you something about it. The details are as follows. The games were held from September 8 to 16, 2019 in Zhengzhou, which lasted 9 days. There were many colorful and cultural events, such as the Dragon Boat Racing, the Single Bamboo Float, the National Martial Art and so on. I have preference for the National Martial Art among them while some of my friends think the Single Bamboo Float more interesting. This event not only aroused people’s awareness of doing exercise but also promoted national unity. It is the first time that such a splendid activity has been held in Zhengzhou. I’m proud of it as a native of Zhengzhou. If you want to know more, please write to me again. Wish you all best. Yours, Li Hua 第二节:概要写作(满分 25分) 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60词左右的内容概要。 In the last few decades, scientists have reached a consensus and reported that human beings are causing changes in the Earth’s climate. In the last 50 years, gases pumped into the Earth’s atmosphere by factories and vehicles have been speeding up the process of global warming and affecting our climate. Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth’s temperature that, in turn, leads to climate change. If we continue to produce carbon dioxide and other gases in such huge quantities, we are expecting severe consequences. Recent reports have warned that global warming will cause terrible climate changes including more frequent flooding, heat, waves and droughts. Serious diseases will spread and industries that rely on nature will be badly affected. Increased temperatures will also cause the polar ice to melt, raising sea levels and flooding many islands and cities. How can we stop these disasters from happening? Governments all over the world should take on the responsibility, but this is no easy task. Some governments express reservations about whether global warming is really caused by human activities. Many people believe that they are simply not prepared to give up the amount of money they make from industry to save the Earth. But why wait around for governments to take action? Experts say that each person plays their part. They suggest making small changes like taking public transport, recycling using low-flow shower heads, and buying light bulbs that use less energy. Even simple things like using recycled paper or switching off the lights when you leave a room can help. If we add up all these small changes made by everyone worldwide, they won’t be such small changes. They could be the changes that save our future. One possible version: It is human activities that should bear the blame for climate changes of the Earth.(要点 1) Gases from all kinds of human activities accelerate the process of global warming, giving rise to various severe consequences.(要 点 2) Some governments, however, are reluctant to shoulder their own responsibility.(要点 3) So experts call on people to do their part instantly, starting from small changes, which will definitely make a difference in slowing down global warming.(要点 4) (69 words)
