2024年高考英语模拟试题分类汇编：七选五（山东卷）
1.（2024·山东威海·二模）The harsh winters and modern cities can make life tough for a wild animal, especially when they get lost and are outside their natural habitat for too long. Animal shelters are crowded with animals in desperate need of help, especially during the winter season. 1
One day, a man found a small owl (猫头鹰) that was soaking wet and appeared to be struggling. He brought it into a local shelter. 2 The little owl was unable to fly, not because of an injury, but because it was too fat.
The owl weighed 245 grams, which was 33% more than the upper limit of what an owl that size should weigh. The reason for the weight gain was quite natural. The owl was eating too much. The winter had been unusually warm, and as a result, the area had a higher than normal population of mice. 3 So it got carried away.
The shelter staff put the owl on a systematic plan of diet and exercise, and it started to lose weight quickly. After some time, the owl was back to its normal health and was released back into the wild.
The question of whether this obesity issue is a strange result of climate change or just a coincidence (巧合) is difficult to say. 4 Wild animals are not used to living in modern cities, and they often struggle to survive. Luckily, there are many animal shelters that offer refuge for these animals. These shelters help restore them to their natural condition and put them back into the wild
5 Some focus on specific animals, such as owls, while others focus on a particular region. However, they all have the same goal -to provide a safe have n for wild animals.
A．Different types of animal shelters have different purposes.
B．Animal shelters are not just a place for injured or sick animals.
C．This meant that it was like an all-you-oan-eat buffet for the little owl.
D．They are really important when animals struggle to survive in cold weather.
E．After a thorough check-up, the shelter staff found out that it was not injured at all.
F．However, it is clear that it is vital to care for wild animals and to ensure their safety.
G．However, recently, a wild animal was brought to a shelter for a very different reason.
【答案】1．G 2．E 3．C 4．F 5．A

4.（2024·山东枣庄·二模）It’s been estimated that people touch their cell phones hundreds of times every day. That means plenty of opportunities for germs to move from our fingers to our phones.
16 But a recent study found more than 17,000 bacterial gene copies on the phones of high school students.
One of the worst places to use cell phones is in the bathroom. 17 Studies have found that our mobile phones are much dirtier than toilet seats. Just as an expert puts it, taking a phone into the bathroom and then leaving with it is kind of like going in, not washing your hands and then coming back out.
While many of us wash our hands regularly after going to the bathroom, we seldom consider washing our hands after touching our phones. 18
You can use alcohol-based wipes or sprays to clean your phone regularly. They need to contain at least 70% alcohol to disinfect phone casings and touch screens. 19 Remember to sanitize (消毒) your phone charger
occasionally when you are cleaning your phone. And wash your hands thoroughly after you’ve finished cleaning.
20 Get in the habit of putting your phone away when it’s not in use, then cleaning your hands. When not at home, keep your phone in your pocket or bag. Use a disposable paper list of to-do items, rather than constantly consulting your phone.
Do not share your phone with others if you have not first sanitized it. If children are allowed to play with your phone, sanitize it as soon as possible afterward.
A．Do it every day if possible.
B．How you handle your phone will also be critical.
C．So it’s clear that you keep away from your phone.9125
D．When toilets flush, they spread germs everywhere.
E．The more germs they collect, the more germs you touch.
F．Research has varied on how many germs are on an average phone.
G．Fortunately, there are easy ways to avoid your phone collecting germs.
【答案】16．F 17．D 18．G 19．A 20．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。据估计，人们每天触摸手机数百次。这意味着细菌有很多机会从我们的手指转移到我们的手机上。文章介绍了一些让手机保持清洁的方法。
16．根据后文“But a recent study found more than 17,000 bacterial gene copies on the phones of high school students. (但最近的一项研究发现，高中生的手机上有超过1.7万个细菌基因拷贝。)”可知，本句主要引出后文关于手机上有多少细菌的话题，故F选项“关于平均一部手机上有多少细菌的研究各不相同。”符合语境，故选F。

5.（2024·山东日照·模拟预测）Providing feedback is an essential part of personal and career development. 21 One of the most effective and classic methods to make it easier for both the giver and receiver is the feedback sandwich technique, sometimes also referred to as a compliment (赞美) sandwich.
If you are seeking to enhance your career growth, learning about the feedback sandwich can be a game-changer. 22 Rather than simply focusing on what went wrong, it ensures that the person receiving the feedback also knows what went well. The process can be broken into three parts. A manager or superior starts by providing positive feedback to encourage a person to continue their good work. Afterward, they communicate constructive feedback for the person to improve. This feedback aims to be specific, behavioral, and relevant to the situation. 23
The feedback sandwich technique is a highly useful method. It can help soften the blow of criticism. By starting and ending with positive feedback, it’s easier for the recipient to receive the constructive criticism without feeling attacked. 24 As we all know, criticism is awkward, but when you’re giving potentially negative feedback, it’s easier when you’re also serving it up with two compliments. Additionally, it enables the meeting or an interaction to end on a positive note.
25 Many people are knowledgeable about this technique, which might make it sound insincere or predictable if not done correctly. Also, when feedback becomes a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus reducing its value. Hence, positive feedback should not simply be seen as something to cushion the negative, but should be delivered so as to reinforce and encourage good performance.
A．It’s essential to be aware of its limitations, though.
B．Similarly, it is also easier for the giver to offer feedback.
C．The manager then ends the feedback session with positive feedback.
D．The technique may lead to unclear and indirect personal communication.
E．Delivering constructive criticism, however, can be challenging if not done correctly.
F．It may not be for every situation, but it can make negative feedback more digestible.
G．This technique involves using constructive feedback wrapped between two layers of positive feedback.
【答案】21．E 22．G 23．C 24．B 25．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三明治反馈法，包括其含义、实施步骤、优势和局限性等。
21．前文“Providing feedback is an essential part of personal and career development. (提供反馈是个人和职业发
展的重要组成部分。)”表明提供反馈的重要性，后文“One of the most effective and classic methods to make it easier for both the giver and receiver is the feedback sandwich technique, sometimes also referred to as a compliment (赞美) sandwich. (对给予者和接受者来说，最有效和最经典的方法之一就是三明治反馈法，有时也被称为赞美三明治。)”引出有效和经典的三明治反馈法，因此E项“Delivering constructive criticism, however, can be challenging if not done correctly. (然而，如果做得不好，提出建设性的批评可能会很有挑战性。)”符合语境，指出提供反馈有时会带来挑战，和前文构成转折，引出后文的话题。故选E。
22．前文“If you are seeking to enhance your career growth, learning about the feedback sandwich can be a game-changer. (如果你正在寻求促进你的职业发展，学习三明治反馈法可以改变游戏规则。)”提到三明治反馈法的重要作用，后文“Rather than simply focusing on what went wrong, it ensures that the person receiving the feedback also knows what went well. (它不是简单地关注哪里出了问题，而是确保接受反馈的人也知道哪里做得好。)”指出三明治反馈法的重要特点，因此G项“This technique involves using constructive feedback wrapped between two layers of positive feedback. (这个技巧涉及到在两层积极反馈之间使用建设性反馈。)”符合语境，简要概括这个反馈法的核心内容，承前启后，其中的This technique指代前文的the feedback sandwich。故选G。
23．前文“A manager or superior starts by providing positive feedback to encourage a person to continue their good work. Afterward, they communicate constructive feedback for the person to improve. This feedback aims to be specific, behavioral, and relevant to the situation. (经理或上级首先要提供积极的反馈，鼓励员工继续做好工作。之后，他们沟通建设性的反馈意见，让这个人改进。这种反馈的目的是具体的、行为的和与情况相关的。)”具体介绍管理者负责的前两个步骤，因此C项“The manager then ends the feedback session with positive feedback. (然后，经理以积极的反馈结束反馈会话。)”符合语境，介绍第三个步骤，承接前文。故选C。
24．前文“By starting and ending with positive feedback, it’s easier for the recipient to receive the constructive criticism without feeling attacked. (通过以积极的反馈开始和结束，接受者更容易接受建设性的批评，而不会感到受到攻击。)”从接受者的角度指出这一反馈法的优势，因此B项“Similarly, it is also easier for the giver to offer feedback. (同样，给予者也更容易提供反馈。)”符合语境，从给予者的角度指出这一反馈法的优势，和前文是平行关系。故选B。
25．空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容。根据后文“Many people are knowledgeable about this technique, which might make it sound insincere or predictable if not done correctly. Also, when feedback becomes a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus reducing its value. (许多人都知道这个方法，如果做得不对，可能会让它听起来不真诚或可预测。此外，当反馈成为一种惯例时，员工会开始将积极的反馈视为一种粉饰消极的形式，从而降低了消极反馈的价值。)”可知，本段主要介绍了这一反馈法存在的问题，因此A项“It’s essential to be aware of its limitations, though. (不过，必须意识到它的局限性。)”符合语境，指出这一方法有局限性，契合后文内容。故选A。

1.（2024·山东威海·二模）The harsh winters and modern cities can make life tough for a wild animal, especially when they get lost and are outside their natural habitat for too long. Animal shelters are crowded with animals in desperate need of help, especially during the winter season. 1
One day, a man found a small owl (猫头鹰) that was soaking wet and appeared to be struggling. He brought it into a local shelter. 2 The little owl was unable to fly, not because of an injury, but because it was too fat.
The owl weighed 245 grams, which was 33% more than the upper limit of what an owl that size should weigh. The reason for the weight gain was quite natural. The owl was eating too much. The winter had been unusually warm, and as a result, the area had a higher than normal population of mice. 3 So it got carried away.
The shelter staff put the owl on a systematic plan of diet and exercise, and it started to lose weight quickly. After some time, the owl was back to its normal health and was released back into the wild.
The question of whether this obesity issue is a strange result of climate change or just a coincidence (巧合) is difficult to say. 4 Wild animals are not used to living in modern cities, and they often struggle to survive. Luckily, there are many animal shelters that offer refuge for these animals. These shelters help restore them to their natural condition and put them back into the wild
5 Some focus on specific animals, such as owls, while others focus on a particular region. However, they all have the same goal -to provide a safe have n for wild animals.
A．Different types of animal shelters have different purposes.
B．Animal shelters are not just a place for injured or sick animals.
C．This meant that it was like an all-you-oan-eat buffet for the little owl.
D．They are really important when animals struggle to survive in cold weather.
E．After a thorough check-up, the shelter staff found out that it was not injured at all.
F．However, it is clear that it is vital to care for wild animals and to ensure their safety.
G．However, recently, a wild animal was brought to a shelter for a very different reason.

4.（2024·山东枣庄·二模）It’s been estimated that people touch their cell phones hundreds of times every day. That means plenty of opportunities for germs to move from our fingers to our phones.
16 But a recent study found more than 17,000 bacterial gene copies on the phones of high school students.
One of the worst places to use cell phones is in the bathroom. 17 Studies have found that our mobile phones are much dirtier than toilet seats. Just as an expert puts it, taking a phone into the bathroom and then leaving with it is kind of like going in, not washing your hands and then coming back out.
While many of us wash our hands regularly after going to the bathroom, we seldom consider washing our hands after touching our phones. 18
You can use alcohol-based wipes or sprays to clean your phone regularly. They need to contain at least 70% alcohol to disinfect phone casings and touch screens. 19 Remember to sanitize (消毒) your phone charger occasionally when you are cleaning your phone. And wash your hands thoroughly after you’ve finished cleaning.
20 Get in the habit of putting your phone away when it’s not in use, then cleaning your hands. When not at home, keep your phone in your pocket or bag. Use a disposable paper list of to-do items, rather than constantly consulting your phone.
Do not share your phone with others if you have not first sanitized it. If children are allowed to play with your phone, sanitize it as soon as possible afterward.
A．Do it every day if possible.
B．How you handle your phone will also be critical.
C．So it’s clear that you keep away from your phone.9125

5.（2024·山东日照·模拟预测）Providing feedback is an essential part of personal and career development. 21 One of the most effective and classic methods to make it easier for both the giver and receiver is the feedback sandwich technique, sometimes also referred to as a compliment (赞美) sandwich.
If you are seeking to enhance your career growth, learning about the feedback sandwich can be a
game-changer. 22 Rather than simply focusing on what went wrong, it ensures that the person receiving the feedback also knows what went well. The process can be broken into three parts. A manager or superior starts by providing positive feedback to encourage a person to continue their good work. Afterward, they communicate constructive feedback for the person to improve. This feedback aims to be specific, behavioral, and relevant to the situation. 23
The feedback sandwich technique is a highly useful method. It can help soften the blow of criticism. By starting and ending with positive feedback, it’s easier for the recipient to receive the constructive criticism without feeling attacked. 24 As we all know, criticism is awkward, but when you’re giving potentially negative feedback, it’s easier when you’re also serving it up with two compliments. Additionally, it enables the meeting or an interaction to end on a positive note.
25 Many people are knowledgeable about this technique, which might make it sound insincere or predictable if not done correctly. Also, when feedback becomes a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus reducing its value. Hence, positive feedback should not simply be seen as something to cushion the negative, but should be delivered so as to reinforce and encourage good performance.
A．It’s essential to be aware of its limitations, though.
B．Similarly, it is also easier for the giver to offer feedback.
C．The manager then ends the feedback session with positive feedback.
D．The technique may lead to unclear and indirect personal communication.
E．Delivering constructive criticism, however, can be challenging if not done correctly.
F．It may not be for every situation, but it can make negative feedback more digestible.
G．This technique involves using constructive feedback wrapped between two layers of positive feedback.
