2023年高考英语名校模拟题汇编之七选五（浙江专用）
（2022·浙江杭州·一模）My heart went out to the drama teacher I read about in a recent news item. Each parent from her class insisted that she cast their own child as Snow White. This reminded me of my seventh grade musical — “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky, the female lead who was Tom’s girlfriend. ____1____
For starters, Becky had to sing numerous solos, and I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. I also didn’t have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.
I was assigned the non-singing role of Miss Watson, the Maid. I had to wear an ugly dress. And I had only one line to learn, “That’s what I say.” ____2____ Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat “That’s what I say” throughout the play.
At last, our production was put onstage. Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped in with “That’s what I say.” I hadn’t known that she — or I — could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along. ____3____
That night, I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a stand-out in a supporting role. Each person, onstage and backstage, is essential in theater. Without everyone doing their part, the play would be dull as dirt. ____4____ If everyone’s a star then nothing gets done. It’s all noise and chaos.
And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson, to become someone they didn’t know they wanted to be. ____5____
A．So it is in life.
B．It was not to be.
C．It was anything but a great part.
D．My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.
E．It took the entire cast to make a good show.
F．There was an advantage, in my opinion, though.
G．I would hope all children could be a hit in life.
（2022·浙江宁波·一模）Around the world, people are realizing the significant problems caused by plastic waste. In the last 65 years, we have become increasingly dependent on plastic. It’s easy to understand why: it’s cheap to produce, light — therefore easy and cheap to transport — and incredibly strong and durable. ___6___
One popular solution to the problem is to prohibit single use plastics. In the British supermarkets, shoppers are encouraged to make more environmentally-friendly choices in packing and transporting their food. ___7___ Some governments have even promised to ban the use of single-use plastic altogether by the not-too-distant future.
However, such plans may not be beneficial to eliminate (消除) the use of single-use plastic altogether. ___8___ This is not just because of its low cost. It’s also because infection and cross-contamination (交叉感染) are minimized. Plastic packaging is also crucial in the food industry. It ensures that food is safe for consumers.
Another issue is that alternative materials to plastic are often more environmentally harmful than plastic. Take paper bags, for example. ___9___ The process requires cutting trees, the emission of greenhouse gases and the production of poisonous chemical waste. Even more pollution is created when paper bags break down.
Clearly there is a need to reduce plastic waste and its impact on the environment. ___10___ Industries that rely on single-use plastics for people’s health and safety must be considered. Moreover, alternative materials must be evaluated strictly regarding their own environmental impact.
A．But it’s these advantages that also make it so harmful.
B．They are very fragile and rarely reusable, unlike plastic.
C．One of the fields where single-use plastic has a vital role is medicine.

F．Bans on single-use plastic items like drinking straws are also coming into place.
G．According to a research, they require four times more energy when produced than a plastic bag.

Sometimes it’s a good idea to let a friendship go, even if you’ve been friends for a long time. If one party isn’t making an effort to keep things going, it can lead to feelings of hurt and betrayal, and it might be time to let things cool off and pursue other friendships. ____15____ Besides, it can encourage you to focus on the partnerships that are healthy and where both of you are committed to keeping it going for your entire life.

（2022·浙江湖州·一模）How to stop glasses fogging up with a face mask
Wearing a mask keeps you safe during the pandemic, but it come with its own set of challenges. And, one of the biggest drawbacks of wearing a mask is how much your glasses fog up and affect your vision. Taking off your glasses to wipe them clean each time it fogs up is not only frustrating, but it can also increase the risk of infection. ___31___ Here are some tricks to stop it.
Twist your mask strings.
From the side, once you twist it, the strings will look like the figure eight. This is great for stopping fogging because it redirects your breath by putting slight downward pressure on the top part of the mask. ___32___ This may leave you infected by virus.
___33___
If you wash your glasses with soap, this creates a thin film on your lenses which limits fogging. Use a fragrance-free soap and mix it with warm water. Put your glasses in it and let it air dry. When you wear your glasses next, soap molecules on your lenses should block fogging.
Use tissues.
You can put a tissue under the top part of the mask. ___34___ To do this DIY trick properly, you should fold a tissue in half and place the straight edge along the bridge of your nose.
Change the position of your masks and glasses.
___35___ But if you do this there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, you need to make sure that your mask still covers your chin(下巴)after you pull it up. And, if your prescription is stronger, this trick could impact your vision and cause increased blurriness.
A．Put glasses in the water.
B．Wash your glasses with soap.
C．It will help catch air and damp, keeping your glasses free of fog.
D．So the key is to prevent or minimize fogging due to face masks.
E．Cover your chin with masks to prevent need for repositioning when talking.
F．Though, it’s worth noting that it does create a slight gap between the mask and your face.
G．Pull up your mask and draw your glasses down, blocking your breath from rising upwards.

（2022·浙江省淳安中学三模）Are you still frustrated for forgetting passwords Never again! There’s a way to choose and remember them with confidence.
___56___ It’s good exercise for your brain and a valuable way to protect your identity online. The system uses letters, numbers and symbols, so it will please even the strictest website. And the random-looking codes it produces would be extremely difficult for someone to crack, but just enough of a challenge for your brain.
First, choose a short quotation, one that no one would have any reason to associate with you. ___57___ So, if you chose “Play it again, Sam”, you’d have the letters PIAS. Next, choose a meaningful date again, one that can’t be guessed or easily researched. Maybe the year of a favorite holiday, “86,” say. ___58___ Finally, organize these building blocks in any order you like. And strengthen the code further by making some of the letters lower case and some upper: maybe 86&EPiAs.
Spend a little time getting to know this “foundation” for your passwords. “See” it in your mind’s eye. And then start using it as the basis for every new password you set. Add two or three extra letters each time, a few initials or abbreviations (缩写) to remind you of what this particular password is for. ___59___
So the final password for your BBC account could be: BBC86&EPiAs.
___60___ But each password ends up being complex and unique, helping to protect your identity and giving your memory a cracking workout every time.
A．Nothing is better than this.
B．What you should do is to follow a system.
C．We can remember them well if we often use the letters.
D．With a system like this, you’ve got a basic formula to follow.
E．Then add a random element by picking any two symbols like & and E.
F．Pick out the initial letters-creating the first “building block” for your passwords.
G．For example, you might use BT for your phone account or CC for the camera club forum.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要向人们介绍了一种使用字母、数字和符号进行密码组合的方式，可以很好保护用户身份，又不容易忘记。
56．此空是本段的主题句。根据下文“The system uses letters, numbers and symbols, so it will please even the strictest website.(该系统使用字母、数字和符号，所以即使是最严格的网站也会感到满意)”可知，这里的“The system(该系统)”就是指本段主题句B项“What you should do is to follow a system.(你应该做的是遵循一个系统)”中所提到的“a system”，所以用关键词法即可确定选项。另外，下文也是对主题句“遵循这个系统”的解释说明。故选B项。
57．根据下文“So, if you chose “Play it again, Sam”, you’d have the letters PIAS.(如果你选择“Play it again, Sam”你会有字母PIAS)”可知，PIAS是“Play it again, Sam”中几个单词的首字母组成的。所以此处用F项“Pick out the initial letters-creating the first “building block” for your passwords. (选择首字母，为你的密码创建第一个“构件”)”说明密码的第一个构件是“首字母”。下文就是对上文F项的进一步解释说明。故选F项。
58．根据上文“Maybe the year of a favorite holiday, “86,” say.(也许是你最喜欢的节日的一年，“86年”)”可知，密码中加入了“86”。再根据下文“Finally, organize these building blocks in any order you like. And strengthen the code further by making some of the letters lower case and some upper: maybe 86&EPiAs. (最后，按照你喜欢的任何顺序组织这些构件。并通过使一些字母的大小写来进一步加强代码：也许是86&EPiAs)”可知，这个最终密码中还有两个随机元素“&E”。所以选项处为E项“Then add a random element by picking any two symbols like & and E. (然后通过选择任意两个符号来添加一个随机元素，像&和 E)”。故选E项。
59．根据上文“Add two or three extra letters each time, a few initials or abbreviations (缩写) to remind you of what this particular password is for. (每次添加两到三个额外的字母，几个首字母或缩写来提醒你这个特殊密码的用途)”可知，可以用几个首字母或缩写的方式继续加强密码，所以下文用G项 “For example, you might use BT for your phone account or CC for the camera club forum.(例如，你可以使用BT作为你的电话帐户或CC作为相机俱乐部论坛)”对如何使用几个首字母或缩写进行举例说明，句中有明显的举例子提示词“For example”。故选G项。
60．根据下文“But each password ends up being complex and unique, helping to protect your identity and giving your memory a cracking workout every time.(但是每个密码都是复杂和独特的，这有助于保护你的身份，并每次给你的记忆一个极好的锻炼)”可知，此处用“but”进行转折，说明这个密码虽然有基本公式，但也没那么简单。它复杂而独特，有助于保护你的身份，锻炼你的记忆力。这些都说明了这个系统的好处。所以此处用D项“With a system like this, you’ve got a basic formula to follow.(有了这样的系统，你就有了一个基本的公式可以遵循)”，也是说明这个系统的好处。把它们一起放在本文的结尾段，对全文进行总结。故选D项。
