‎2019-2020学年度上学期珠海一中、中山纪念中学高二年级两校联考英语试题 第一部分 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）‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ A The National Beekeeping Centre Wales is a free attraction in the countryside that teaches children about the importance of honeybees – with the chance to try lots of local honeys.‎ This friendly visitor centre is a supporter of Welsh honeybees, which are increasingly under threat from climate change and loss of wildflower meadows. It raises visitors’ awareness of environmental issues and shows the 4,000-year history of beekeeping and honey-making, from the ancient Egyptians to the Romans. A Hive (蜂巢) Aid scheme lets you adopt a beehive, and regular courses (from £60 per person) train new generations of beekeepers.‎ Fun fact Bees pollinate (授粉) about a third of everything we eat and play an important role in sustaining our ecosystems. In economic terms, honeybee pollination could be worth up to £‎200m to the UK alone.‎ What about lunch?‎ Next door is the Furnace Tearoom, part of the Bodnant Welsh Food Centre, which serves light bites – wraps (卷饼), fruit salads (£7) and coffee. And the nearby Pavilion Restaurant at the National Trust’s Bodnant Garden has cooked food, including baked potatoes (£5) and daily specials such as local casseroles (焙盘) with bread rolls (£6), plus coffee and cakes.‎ Exit through the gift shop There is a range of bee-themed gifts in our gift shop, including bee toys (£2), wooden honey candy (£2) and a selection of honeys all made by Welsh producers (£5). The bestselling Bodnant honey (£8) goes fast.‎ Getting here We are located just off the A470 on the Bodnant Estate in the Conwy Valley, and 10 minutes from the A55 north Wales coast road. Follow the brown signs just after Bodnant‎ ‎Gardens.‎ Value for money Visits and activities for kids are free, though donations are welcome. Taster days (from £60) and the weekend beekeeping course (£80 per person) are held at Abergwyngregyn village, 10 miles west down the A55.‎ Opening hours The Visitor Centre opens daily from 10 am-4 pm but it is volunteer-run, so phone ahead to check. Expect lots of fun activities around the annual Conwy Honey Fair.‎ ‎1. What do we know about the National Beekeeping Centre Wales?‎ A. It makes money mainly by selling local honeys.‎ B. It invites visitors to adopt a beehive for free.‎ C. It’s an educational center about beekeeping.‎ D. It shows visitors Wales’ long beekeeping history.‎ ‎2. You can buy _______ at the Furnace Tearoom.‎ A. bread rolls B. fruit salads C. baked potatoes D. local casseroles ‎3. Where is the National Beekeeping Centre Wales?‎ A. In the village‎ of ‎Abergwyngregyn. ‎ B. Opposite‎ Bodnant ‎Gardens.‎ C. Off the A55 Wales coast road. ‎ D. Next to the A470 on the Bodnant Estate. ‎ ‎4. How much would you have to pay for the weekend course and two bee toys?‎ A. £ 64 B. £ ‎76 ‎ C. £ 84 D. £ 96‎ B Recently, I was interviewed by a parenting magazine for a story it was running on eco-parenting.‎ The reporter explained that it was expensive to be an eco-parent, with organic baby foods and clothing to buy.‎ But I told her. “I’m sorry, but eco-parenting isn’t about buying ecologically-produced versions of products we think we may need. It’s about discovering what we don’t need.”‎ I told the reporter about my daughter Sarah’s simple wish for a pink balloon on her birthday, but she felt that things would inevitably change as Sarah grew up and adopted more materialistic desires.‎ I agreed that Sarah may not always be interested in such simple gifts as balloons, but I couldn’t agree that a birthday needs to be about materialistic desires.‎ To me, a birthday is an opportunity to celebrate the life and the development of a person.‎ Do we need to see a table covered with gifts to know that our family and friends love us? Somewhere in our consumer culture, we’ve confused material items with expressions of love and gratitude.‎ My own birthday was just a few days ago. It came and went in the middle of a snow storm, and my birthday party was canceled. While my husband and I spent much of the day clearing the snow, Sarah made some little dolls for me.‎ And when we came in to rest, Ula climbed onto my lap and sing Happy Birthday.‎ Throughout the day, my friends called to wish me a happy day, and my mother called, upset that she couldn’t visit.‎ Later, my husband apologized that he was unable to do anything special for me that day.‎ ‎“I had a fantastic birthday,” I replied, as I thought of all the love I’d felt.‎ ‎5. What does the author think eco-parents should do according to the article?‎ A. Buy organic foods and clothing for their kids.‎ B. Teach their kids to protect the environment.‎ C. Try to avoid buying useless things for their kids.‎ D. Allow their kids to make their own choices in life.‎ ‎6. What does the author intend to express with Sarah’s story?‎ A. A pink balloon is the best birthday gift for girls.‎ B. Kids’ material desire will change as they grow up.‎ C. We don’t have to express our love with expensive gifts.‎ D. A birthday is a good occasion for us to express our love.‎ ‎7. Why did the author think that her birthday was fantastic?‎ A. Her husband did something special for her.‎ B. Many friends came and celebrated it with her.‎ C. She received meaningful gifts from her children.‎ D. She felt a lot of love from her family and friends.‎ C The World Health Organization recently said that it planned to add gaming disorder to its new list of disease classifications, angering the gaming industry but pleasing doctors who hope it may make treatment more easily available.‎ Some US experts said it would make little difference when it comes to helping people with the disorder, although others said it would bring attention to a disorder that people sometimes don’t recognize.‎ Many of us enjoy video games, but does playing our favorite game for a couple of hours every night mean we’re suffering from gaming disorder? Not according to the WHO.‎ The symptoms listed by the WHO include a lack of control over gaming, treating gaming more seriously than other life interests and daily activities, and continuing to play games despite the negative consequences that playing them might have.‎ ‎“The behavior pattern is enough to result in significant damage to one’s personal, family, or social life, the WHO said.‎ Meanwhile, Douglas Gentile of Iowa State University has carried out influential research into the cause of gaming addiction in young people.‎ ‎“I and many others had assumed that gaming is not really a problem but is a symptom of other problems,” he told NBC News. Many had thought it was simply a failure of self-control.‎ To see if it was, Gentile’s team studied a group of children who had been gaming for several years.‎ ‎“We found that when kids became addicted, their anxiety increased …and their grades decreased,” Gentile said.‎ When kids were able to back off from gaming, their symptoms disappeared, he added.‎ Gentile thinks medical organizations should pay attention to the WHO’s proposal.‎ ‎“This isn’t an issue of opinion; it’s an issue of science,” he said.‎ ‎“This is a major scientific and medical organization. They don’t do things lightly and without reason.”‎ Dr Petros Levounis, chair of psychiatry (精神病学) at the New Jersey Medical School at Rutgers University, said that he hoped the WHO’ s proposal would lead to more research into obsessive behavior among all types of people.‎ ‎“Now, there is renewed interest and excitement,” he said.‎ ‎8. Which of the following is a sign of gaming disorder according to the WHO?‎ A. Putting games before everything else.‎ B. Playing games for several hours every night.‎ C. Having no hobbies but playing games.‎ D. Keeping playing until winning the games.‎ ‎9. Why is Gentile’s research mentioned?‎ A. To explain the cause of gaming addiction.‎ B. To show the impact of gaming disorder.‎ C. To show the reasons behind the WHO’s decision.‎ D. To introduce the study that influenced the WHO’s proposal.‎ ‎10. What did Levounis think of the WHO’s decision?‎ A. It needed further research to make it more convincing.‎ B. It would do little to help people with gaming addiction.‎ C. It would encourage new cures for gaming disorder.‎ D. It would encourage studies about diseases similar to gaming disorder.‎ ‎11. What’s the article mainly about?‎ A. The WHO defining gaming disorder.‎ B. New research findings about gaming disorder.‎ C. The benefits of defining gaming as a disease.‎ D. The discussions about defining gaming disorder as a disease.‎ D ‎“Although we live in an era where everything seems to be available immediately, our study suggests that today’s kids can delay gratification longer than children in the 1960s and 1980s,” said University of Minnesota psychologist Stephanie M. Carlson. “This finding stands in great contrast with the assumption by adults that today’s children have less self-control than previous generations.”‎ The original marshmallow (棉花糖) test conducted by researchers at Stanford University involved a series of experiments in which children aged between 3 and 5 years were offered one treat that they could eat immediately or a larger treat if they waited. Researchers then left the room to see how long the children would wait and watched from behind a one-way mirror.‎ Interestingly, today’s adults thought that children nowadays would be more impulsive and less able to wait, Carlson found. “Our findings serve as an example of how our beliefs can be wrong and how it’s important to do research,” said co-author Yuichi Shoda, PhD at the University of Washington.‎ The researchers offered several possible explanations for why children in the 2000s waited longer than those in prior decades. They noted a statistically significant increase in IQ scores in the last several decades. Another explanation may be society’s increased focus on the importance of early education, according to Carlson. The primary objective of preschool changed from largely custodial care (监护) to school readiness in the 1980s. Parenting also has changed in ways that help promote the development of executive function, such as being more supportive of children’s self-control, the researchers noted.‎ Walter Mischel of Columbia University, who co-authored this paper, noted that “while the results indicate that the children’s ability to delay is not weakened on the marshmallow test, the findings do not speak to their willingness to delay gratification when faced with the many temptations now available in everyday life.”‎ ‎12. What is the adults’ assumption about today’s children?‎ A. They are not easy to please.‎ B. They are less able to control themselves.‎ C. They don’t like things that are easy to get.‎ D. They have different personalities from previous generations.‎ ‎13. What does the underlined word “impulsive” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. productive B. considerate C. clear-minded D. hot-headed ‎14. What did the researchers find about children in the 2000s?‎ A. They are more prepared to go to school.‎ B. They are not as clever as previous generations.‎ C. They are taught self-control by their teachers.‎ D. They have better education than previous generations.‎ ‎15. What does the author want to tell readers in the last paragraph?‎ A. Most children nowadays can’t resist the temptations of everyday life.‎ B. Children did not willingly choose to delay gratification in the marshmallow test.‎ C. The marshmallow test can’t accurately measure children’s ability to delay gratification.‎ D. Children’s ability to delay gratification is weakened because there’re many temptations.‎ 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。‎ For the last few months, more than 20,000 primary students in one Florida school district in the United States have enjoyed school life without the usual homework. Instead, they are being asked to read for 20 minutes each night.‎ ‎16. __________.

C。由第一段内容可知，这里是乡村里一个免费的景点，可排除A项；这里可以通过提供品尝蜂蜜的机会来教导孩子们，让他们懂得蜜蜂的重要性，因此C项符合文意。由第二段”shows the 4,000-year history of beekeeping and honey-making, from the ancient Egyptians to the Romans.”可知，D项错误；由该段”A Hive Aid scheme lets you adopt a beehive, and regular courses (from £60 per person) train new generations of beekeepers.”可知B项错误。‎ ‎2. B。由”What about lunch？”部分内容可知，在Furnace Tearoom可以买fruit salad，因此答案为B。其他三项均可在Pavilion Restaurant购买，可排除。‎ ‎3. D。由”Getting here”部分内容可知，National Beekeeping Centre距离the A470 on the Bodnant Estate很近，故D正确。文中提到Abergwyngregyn village，但并未说明National Beekeeping Centre在这个村庄里，排除A。根据 Follow the brown signs just after Bodnant Gardens可知B错误。根据10 minutes from the A55 north Wales coast road可知C错误。‎ ‎4. C。由”Exit through the gift shop”内容可知，一个bee toy是2元，两个是4元；由”Value for money”可知，weekend beekeeping course是人均80元，因此一共是84元，答案为C。‎ B 篇 ‎5. C。由第三段作者的话”It’s about discovering what we don’t need.”可知，环保型育儿不是指买一些可能需要的环保型产品，而是避免买一些不需要的物品，因此答案为C。其他三项文中未体现。‎ ‎6. C。由第五段”I agreed that Sarah may not always be interested in such simple gifts as balloons, but I couldn’t agree that a birthday needs to be about materialistic desires.”以及后文可知，作者想以Sarah的故事传达出表达心意时不必过分强调物质的观点，没有必要用昂贵的礼物表达我们的心意，因此答案为C。A项文中未体现；由第四段可知，作者是说随着Sarah长大，她有了更多的物质欲望，不是指所有的孩子，而且也不符合作者意图，因此可排除B项；D项的重点在过生日上，而作者用这个例子重点在eco-parenting和consumer culture上。‎ ‎7. D。结合上文及最后一段”as I thought of all the love I’d felt that day.”可知，作者感受到了满满的爱，所以认为她的那次生日棒极了，因此答案为D。由倒数第二句”my husband apologized that he was unable to do anything special for me that day.”可知，A项错误；由倒数第三句”my friends called to wish me a happy day, and my mother called, upset that she couldn’t visit.”可知，B项错误；由倒数第四、五段可排除C项。‎ C 篇 ‎8. A。文章第四段是WHO对游戏成瘾的定义，具体表现是缺乏对玩游戏的控制力，把游戏放在第一位，即使有不好的影响也继续玩游戏，因此选A，其他选项均不够准确。‎ ‎9. C。Gentile的研究主要证明了游戏成瘾确实会造成一些负面的影响，在介绍完研究后，引用了他说的几句话，他认为医疗机构应该重视WHO将游戏成瘾定义为疾病的提议，他认为这是有科学依据的（it’s an issue of science），因此引用Gentile的研究主要是为了证明WHO的提议是有科学依据的，C选项正确。‎ ‎10. D。根据文章的最后两段可知，Levounis认为WHO的这个决定会促进人们对obsessive behavior的研究，即D选项，其他选项文中没有体现。‎ ‎11.‎ ‎ D。文章先说了WHO计划把游戏成瘾定义为一种疾病，有的专家认为挺好的，有的专家认为没有什么意义，然后介绍了WHO对游戏成瘾的定义，接着用Gentile的研究证明了WHO的这个决定是有科学依据的，最后又引用了Levounis的话说明了WHO这个决定的影响。综上，全文主要是人们围绕着WHO的这个提议的一些讨论，因此选D。A选项过于片面，B选项错在不是研究新发现，C选项也只是文章的一部分内容，不能概括全文主旨。‎ D 篇 ‎12. B。根据第一段最后一句”... the assumption by adults that today’s children have less self-control than previous generations”可知，成年人以为现在的孩子比前几代人更缺乏自制力，故选B。‎ ‎13. D。根据划线单词所在的句子”Interestingly, today’s adults thought that children nowadays would be more impulsive and less able to wait ...”可知，impulsive和less able to wait成并列关系，故表达”急躁的，冲动的”之意，故选D。‎ ‎14. A。根据倒数第二段”The primary objective of preschool changed from largely custodial care to school readiness in the 1980s”可知20世纪80年代，学前教育的主要目标从看护孩子转变为教育孩子们做好入学准备，故选A。‎ ‎15. C。最后一段中Mischel的话的意思是：尽管孩子们在棉花糖实验中延迟满足的能力没有减弱，但这并不能证明他们在面对日常生活中的多种诱惑时愿意延迟满足。作者引用Mischel的话是为了说明不能单从棉花糖实验得出关于孩子们延迟满足能力的结论，故答案选C。‎ ‎7选五 ‎16-20 BEDGA 完型填空 ‎21-40 DBAAB 46-50 ABCDC 51-55 DACAB 56-60 CDBCD 语法填空 ‎41. addicted 42. using 43. it 44. to 45. but 46. as 47. who 48. drinks 49. original 50. had been kept 短文改错 ‎51. has→had 52. the→a 53. something→anything ‎54. had后∧never/not或者had→hadn’t 55. to→of ‎56. 去掉it 57. after→before 58. was→did ‎59. small→smaller 60. tumors→tumor 书面表达 参考范文：‎ Dear Jane,‎ I am writing to thank you for such a great opportunity at the “High School Student English Summer Camp”.‎ As a student, I have always looked forward to activities like this because I want to learn more about English and Western culture.
