‎2020年陕西省西安中学高考英语八模试卷 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共4小题;每小题6分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎1.     Do you know the toys below?  They were once among the most popular toys.     1960 ﹣ Etch A Sketch     French electrician Andre Cassagnes had the idea of a drawing toy with a joy stick,  glass screen,  and aluminum(铝) powder. Using that idea,  the Ohio Art Co. launched(推出) the Magic Screen in1960,  and you could erase the picture with a shake of your hands. You can still find the toy today.     1964 ﹣ SuperBall     What happens when you accidentally create a plastic ball that jumps?  The toy company,  Wham﹣O Inc.,  buys your idea and it ends up selling millions. That's exactly what happened to Norman Stingley, a chemical engineer who came upon SuperBall. At one time,  Wham﹣O had to produce over 170, 000 balls a day to keep up with the demand. Unbelievably,  the National Football Game named the Super Bowl game (an well﹣known American football game) after this jumping ball.     1964 ﹣ G.I. Joe     In 1964,  Hasbro toy company created G.I. Joe,  a line of action figures designed to represent the 4 branches of the US Armed Forces ﹣ Action Soldier(Army),  Action Sailor (Navy),  Action Pilot (Air Force),  and the Action Marine (Marine Corps). G.I. Joe was imagined as an excellent military unit devoted to defending citizens' freedom against the evil persons. It has attracted the imagination of boys around the world.     1965 ﹣ Operation     An unsteady hand is your downfall (败落的原因) in the game of Operation,  which was invented by John Spinello,  a student at the University of Illinois. Later,  Spinello sold his right to the toy to a well﹣known toy designer Marvin Glass for a sum of $500. 0peration is currently made by Hasbro,  with estimated sales of $40 million. ‎ ‎(1)Which toy has a relationship with the sports event?________‎ A. SuperBall. B. Etch A Sketch. C. Operation.. D. G.I. Joe. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(2)Who probably are most interested in G.I. Joe?________‎ A. Those fond of construction.‎ B. Those fond of arts.‎ C. Those fond of kind doctors..‎ D. Those fond of brave soldiers.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(3)If you want to play with Operation successfully, you should________.‎ A. have better teamwork B. keep your hand stable C. have a joy stick and a glass screen.‎ D. get Norman Stingley's guidance ‎ ‎ ‎2.     Here are some tips from experts for writing that all﹣important application essay,  which can often mean the difference between getting accepted ﹣ or rejected ﹣ by the school of your choice.     The essay is your loudspeaker ﹣ your view of the world and your ambitions. It's not just a resume or a regurgitation of everything you've done. It needs to tell a story with passion,  using personal,  entertaining ________ that showcase your character,  your interests,  your values,  your life experiences,  your views of the world,  your ambitions and even your sense of humor.     Emphasize volunteer work or other ways you've helped people or made your community a better place. It helps if the activity is related to the subject you want to study. For example,  Christopher Rim of Command Education Group,  which coaches students,  remembers that one student who wanted to become a dentist,  set up a nonprofit and held fund﹣raisers to distribute toothbrushes,  toothpaste and other dental products to homeless shelters. Admissions staff members want to know how your presence will make the college a better place.     Mention internships,  summer courses,  extracurricular activities or lab work that show steps you've taken to learn and understand your field of interest. That will help show you know the field you've chosen to study and are passionate about it.     Explain with knowledge and passion why you want to study at this particular college rather than at others. Tell why the school's size,  curriculum,  social atmosphere,  location,  professors or history influenced your choice.     Correct spelling,  grammar and punctuation are critical. Use grammar,  syntax and writing with a level of sophistication that shows you're ready for college. Never use text﹣style abbreviations or rude or profane language. After the essay is submitted,  check your email and voice mail daily to make sure you see and respond promptly to messages from admissions staff members. Many students check only texts and sometimes miss emails asking follow﹣up questions or requesting an interview.     Hafeez Lakhani of Lakhani Coaching summed up the essay this way:  "Every college is like a dinner table. What will make you the most interesting contributor to that dinner table conversation?  What will make you help everyone else have a more interesting experience? " A good essay,  rich with anecdotes and personality,  will answer those questions and stand out from the pile. ‎ ‎(1)What should be covered in an application essay?________‎ A. Your passion, sense of humor and your resume.‎ B. Your community, summer courses, and extracurricular activities.‎ C. Your volunteer work, internships, and lab work..‎ D. Your college, views of the world, and interest.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(2)What does the underlined word "anecdotes" mean?________‎ A. stories B. documents C. jokes. D. descriptions ‎ ‎ ‎(3)How to persuade the admissions staff members to accept you?________‎ 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 A. You are kind to the homeless and eager to donate daily necessities.‎ B. Your life experiences are rich enough to learn the courses well.‎ C. You want to study at the school due to its popularity..‎ D. Your being present at the college will make it a better one.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(4)Which of the following is appropriate according to the author?________‎ A. Write the application in a style of text abbreviation.‎ B. Apply grammar and sentences which is not that simple.‎ C. Employ correct spelling and pronunciation.‎ D. Use vulgar language to show you really care.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎3.     Jenny was a bright﹣eyed,  pretty five﹣year﹣old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store,  Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace priced at $2.50. How she wanted that necklace! When she asked her mother if she would buy it for her,  her mother said,  "Well,  it is a pretty necklace,  but it costs an awful lot of money. I'll tell you what. I'll buy you the necklace,  and when we get home we can make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace. And don't forget that for your birthday,  Grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill,  too. Okay? " Jenny agreed,  and her mother bought the pearl necklace for her.     Jenny worked on her housework very hard every day,  and sure enough,  her grandma gave her a brand﹣new dollar bill for her birthday. Soon Jenny had paid off the pearls. How Jenny loved those pearls. She wore them everywhere to kindergarten,  bed and when she went out with her mother to run errands(跑腿). The only time she didn't wear them was in the shower. Her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green!     Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed,  he would get up from his favorite chair every night and read Jenny her favorite story.     One night when he finished the story,  he said,  "Jenny,  do you love me? "     "Oh yes,  Daddy,  you know I love you, " the little girl said.     "Well,  then,  give me your pearls."     "Oh! Daddy,  not my pearls!" Jenny said. "But you can have Rosy,  my favorite doll. Remember her?  You gave her to me last year for my birthday. And you can have her tea party outfit,  too. Okay? "     "Oh no,  darling,  that's okay." Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. "Good night,  little one."     A week later,  her father once again asked Jenny after her story,      "Do you love me? "     "Oh yes,  Daddy,  you know I love you."     "Well,  then,  give me your pearls."     "Oh,  Daddy,  not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons,  my toy horse. Do you remember her?  She's my favorite. Her hair is so soft,  and you can play with it and braid it and everything. You can have Ribbons if you want her,  Daddy, " the little girl said to her father.     "No,  that's okay, " her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. "God bless you,  little one. Sweet dreams."     Several days later,  when Jenny's father came in to read her a story,  Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. "Here,  Daddy, " she said,  and held out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father's hand.     With one hand her father held the plastic pearls and the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue velvet box. Inside of the box were real,  genuine,  beautiful pearls. He had had them all along. He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap stuff so that he could give her the real thing. ‎ ‎(1)Why did the mother tell Jenny the plastic pearl necklace "cost an awful lot of money"?________‎ A.

But it might be time to unlearn that training ﹣ this summer,  a group of culture addicts,  artists and community organizers are inviting New Yorkers to write all over the walls of an old house on Governor's Island.     The project is called Writing On It All,  and it's a participatory writing project and artistic experiment that has happened on Governor's Island every summer since 2013.     "Most of the participants are people who are just walking by or are on the island for other reasons,  or they just kind of happen to be there, " Alexandra Chasin,  artistic director of Writing On It All,  tells Smithsonian.com.     The 2016 season runs through June 26 and features sessions facilitated by everyone from dancers to domestic workers. Each session has a theme,  and participants are given a variety of materials and prompts and asked to cover surfaces with their thoughts and art. This year,  the programs range from one that turns the house into a collaborative essay to one that explores the meaning of exile (流放).     Governor's Island is a national historic landmark district long used for military purposes. Now known as "New 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 ‎ York's shared space for art and play, " the island,  which lies between Manhattan and Brooklyn in Upper New York Bay,  is closed to cars but open to summer tourists who flock for festivals,  picnics,  adventures,  as well as these "legal graffiti(涂鸦)" sessions.     The notes and art scribbled(涂画) on the walls are an experiment in self﹣expression. So far,  participants have ranged in age from 2 to 85. Though Chasin says the focus of the work is on the activity of writing,  rather than the text that ends up getting written,  some of the work that comes out of the sessions has stuck with her.     "One of the sessions that moved me the most was state violence on black women and black girls, " says Chasin,  explaining that in one room,  people wrote down the names of those killed because of it. "People do beautiful work and leave beautiful messages." ‎ ‎(1)What does the project Writing On It All invite people to do?________‎ A. Participate in a state graffiti show.‎ B. Unlearn their training in drawing.‎ C. Exhibit their artistic creations in an old house..‎ D. Cover the walls of an old house with graffiti.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(2)What did the project participants do during the 2016 season?________‎ A. They expressed their thoughts in graffiti on the theme of each session.‎ B. They were free to scribble on the walls whatever came to their mind.‎ C. They were required to cooperate with other creators..‎ D. They learned the techniques of collaborative writing.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(3)What kind of place is Governor's Island?________‎ A. It is an area now accessible only to tourist vehicles.‎ B. It is a historic site that attracts tourists and artists.‎ C. It is an open area for tourists to enjoy themselves year round..‎ D. It is a place in Upper New York Bay formerly used for exiles.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(4)What does Chasin say about the project?________‎ A. It helped expand the influence of graffiti art.‎ B. It just focused on the sufferings of black females.‎ C. It has created some meaningful artistic works.‎ D. It has started the career of many creative artists.‎ 第二节(共1小题;每小题10分,满分10分)根据文章内容,从短文后的七个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.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Advice for Graduates Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you. The next part of my speech consists of some advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said,(1)_______ So, here comes the advice. First, every time you celebrate an achievement,(2)_______ Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less﹣than brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them. Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit.(3)_______ Leave the change on the table. In a successful cooperation, everybody gets 90 percent of the profit. My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don't have a passion,don't be satisfied until you find one.(4)_______ When I was your age, I was incredibly single﹣minded in my goal to be a physicist. After college, I spent eight years as a graduate student and postdoc at Berkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. During that my time, my central focus and professional joy was physics. Here is my final advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won't be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received.(5)_______ A. It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made. B. In all negotiations, don't bargain for the last, little advantage. C. "I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time, and prevents arguments." D. "The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself." E. Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something. F. be thankful to those who made it possible. G. Change your manners when you are dealing with others. ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节 完形填空(共1小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎     About six years ago I started having panic attacks(恐慌症).
