[2020·长沙四校高考模拟卷(一)]Josh
Morrison,
17,
dreamed
of
raising
$100,000
to
build
a
home
for
a
low?income
family.
After
years
of
hard
work,
his
dream
has
come
true.
The
house
is
now
in
the
early
stages
of
building.
Six
years
ago,
Josh
and
his
dad
went
into
a
Habitat
for
Humanity
ReStore,
a
home
improvement
store
and
donation
center
run
by
the
nonprofit
organization.
They
were
there
to
buy
a
sink.
Josh,
then
11,
also
noticed
a
collection
of
pennies.“I
instantly
felt
the
urge
to
help
out
with
that，”
he
said.
Josh
set
a
fundraising
(筹款)
deadline
of
four
years.
Many
people
doubted
whether
he
could
reach
his
goal
of
$100,000,
but
it
didn't
shake
his
faith.
He
raised
money
at
his
school
and
other
nearby
schools.
He
collected
money
from
neighbors,
got
publicity
from
local
newspapers,
and
placed
cans
in
stores
so
that
people
could
donate
extra
change.
Josh's
fundraising
efforts
began
to
produce
results.
Still,
there
were
challenges.
Four
months
before
his
deadline,
he
was
$30,000
short.
He
decided
to
hold
a
Family
Fun
Fair
and
Spaghetti
Dinner
in
Uxbridge,
which
is
in
the
province
of
Ontario.
The
event
raised
$19,000.
“I
didn't
care
how
long
it
took
me，”
Josh
said.
“I
would
raise
$100,000.”
With
three
weeks
left,
a
company
called
Josh's
house,
offering
to
donate
$18,000.
Eventually,
Josh
reached
a
total
of
$124,000
before
his
deadline.
“The_momentum_just_kept_going,_and
we
decided
to
do
more，”
he
said.
“Josh's
Penny
House”
is
being
built
by
Habitat
for
Humanity
in
the
city
of
Oshawa,
along
with
24
new
townhouses.
Josh
has
helped
with
some
of
the
construction,
as
have
other
volunteers.
He
will
choose
the
family
that
moves
into
the
unit.
Next
year,
the
17?year?old
will
head
to
college
in
British
Columbia,
Canada's
westernmost
province.
As
an
11?year?old
kid
when
starting
fundraising,
Josh
was
able
to
send
a
powerful
message
across
the
world.
No
matter
how
old
you
are,
if
you
have
a
dream
and
are
willing
to
do
anything
to
achieve
it,
it
can
come
true.

[2020·河南省高考适应性测试]Every
year
between
May
and
September,
all
54
employees
of
Basecamp,
a
Chicago?based
web
application
company,
have
a
short
work
week:
just
four
days
－
a
total
of
32
hours.
Also,
they
usually
work
five
days
a
week
for
the
rest
of
the
year.
“That's
plenty
of
time
to
get
great
work
done.
This
is
all
we
expect
and
all
we
want
from
people，”
says
Jason
Fried,
a
co?founder.
“Working
50?，
60?，
or
70?plus
hours
is
unnecessary.
In
fact,
if
you
have
to
work
50?，
60?，
or
70?plus
hours
a
week,
there's
a
management
problem.”
The
company's
summer
workload
must
fit
reduced
hours,
Mr.
Fried
insists,
otherwise
the
benefits
of
a
shorter
week
—
to
recover
from
work,
enjoy
time
with
family
and
pursue
(追求)
outside
interests
—
would
be
undone.
His
new
research
finds
that
it
is
not
just
long
hours
that
are
harmful
to
employees'
physical
and
mental
health.
It
is
also
the
intensity
(强度)
of
work.
Moreover,
it
suggests
that
intense
work
harms
career
prospects.
That
is
because
unbearable
hours
and
intensity
are
in
the
opposite
direction,
reducing
the
quality
of
the
work.
The
research
concludes
that
the
level
of
intensity
we
apply
to
the
work
we
do
is
generally“a
stronger
predictor
of
unfavorable
outcomes
than
overtime
work”．
The
research
compared
people
of
similar
jobs
and
education
levels,
and
found
they
were
more
likely
to
suffer
poorer
happiness
and
worse
career
prospects,
including
satisfaction,
security
and
promotion,
when
they
worked
at
an
intense
level
for
long
periods.
8．What
do
we
know
about
Basecamp's
four?day
work
week?
A．It
lasts
nearly
half
a
year.
B．The
work
pressure
is
too
high.
C．There
are
some
management
problems.
D．Employees
work
more
than
8
hours
a
day.
9．What
does
Mr.
Fried
intend
to
say
in
Paragraph
2?
A．Given
plenty
of
time,
people
can
do
more.
B．To
get
work
done
well
needs
plenty
of
time.
C．People
can
do
a
job
very
well
in
a
short
work
week.
D．A
long
work
week
is
appropriate
for
reduced
workload.
10．What
does
the
research
mentioned
in
the
text
want
to
tell
us?
A．Getting
much
more
rest.
B．Improving
work
quality.
C．Refusing
a
five?day
work
week.
D．Avoiding
working
too
intensely.
11．What
can
be
the
best
title
for
this
passage?
A．More
Work,
More
Profits
B．Less
Work,
Less
Benefits
C．Shorter

[2020·山西省阶段检测]Visitors
to
Henn
na,
a
restaurant
outside
Nagasaki,
Japan,
are
greeted
by
an
unusual
sight:
Their
food
being
prepared
by
a
row
of
humanoid
robots.
The
name
of
the
“bead
chef”
is
Andrew.
Using
his
two
long
arms,
he
stirs
batter
(面糊)
in
a
metal
bowl,
then
pours
it
onto
a
hot
grill
(烤架).
In
a
nearby
hotel,
robots
check
guests
into
their
rooms
and
help
with
their
luggage.
CEO
Hideo
Sawada,
who
runs
the
restaurant
and
the
hotel,
predicted
that
70%
of
the
jobs
at
Japan's
hotels
would
be
automated
(自动化)
in
the
next
five
years.
He
said,
“Since
you
can
work
them
24
hours
a
day,
and
they
don't
need
vacation,
eventually
it's
more
cost?effective
to
use
the
robot.”
This_is_seemingly_worrying.
In
fact,
in
America,
one
of
the
few
bright
spots
in
recent
years
has
been
employment
in
restaurants
and
hotels.
In
the
company
Panera,
because
of
its
new
kiosks
(亭子),
an
app
that
allows
customers
to
place
orders
online,
the
chain
is
now
processing
more
orders
overall,
which
means
it
needs
more
total
workers
to
meet
consumers'
demand.
Customers
who
use
Starbucks'
app
return
more
frequently
than
those
who
don't.
Starbucks
employed
8
percent
more
people
in
the
U．S.
in
2016
than
it
did
in
2015,
the
year
it
launched
the
app.
Of
course,
whether
automation
is
a
net
benefit
for
workers
in
restaurants
and
hotels
and
not
just
a
competitive
advantage
for
one
chain
over
another
will
depend
on
whether
an
improved
customer
experience
makes
Americans
more
likely
to
dine
out
and
stay
at
hotels,
rather
than
brown?bagging
it
or
looking
for
the
Airbnb
to
book
unique
homes.
12．Why
does
the
writer
describe
the
unusual
sight
in
Paragraph
1?
A．To
promote
robots.
B．To
introduce
the
topic.
C．To
voice
his
opinion.
D．To
show
the
background.
13．What
does
the
underlined
sentence
in
Paragraph
3
mean?
A．Automation
may
be
a
challenge
to
human
jobs.
B．Automation
may
increase
business
costs.
C．Workers
may
fail
to
focus
on
their
tasks.
D．Many
companies
may
fail
to
survive.
14．What
can
we
learn
from
the
two
cases
in
Paragraph
3?
A．The
two
companies
are
trying
to
take
over
the
market
competitively.
B．Automation
could
open
up
more
job
chances
for
humans.
C．Starbucks
employed
more
people
than
Panera
did
in
2016.
D．Automation

online.
15．What
is
the
author's
attitude
toward
the
future
of

A．Objective.
B．Positive.
C．Cautious.
D．Doubtful.

[2020·东北三省四市模拟]Nowadays
along
with
the
booming
of
computer
science,
computers
are
widely
used
here
and
there.
People
even
can
find
computers
in
most
classrooms.
While
teachers
remain
more
or
less
the
same,
computers
are
doubling
in
speed
and
capability
every
four
years.
__1__
As
far
as
I
am
concerned,
teachers
still
play
a
major
role
and
are
still
of
great
importance.
__2__
However
advanced
they
may
be,
computers
are
nothing
more
than
human
inventions
programmed
to
perform
certain
tasks.
They
are
unable
to
deal
with
students
with
different
backgrounds.
Needless
to
say,
a
classroom
is
a
place
where
individual
attention
and
creativity
matter
most.
Therefore,
computers
are
no
better
than
other
tools
used
by
teachers
and
couldn't
possibly
make
the
roles
played
by
them
weaker.
In
terms
of
accuracy
and
the
amount
of
information,
computers
outshine
humans.
__3__
Indeed,
a
good
teacher
organizes
and
inspires
the
students.
Besides,
the
interaction
between
students
and
teachers
is
vital
for
the
learning.
According
to
attitude,
to
respond
to
and
encourage
them
whenever
they
show
signs
of
frustration
and
impatience.
__4__
Despite
the
increasing
presence
of
computers
inside
classrooms,
teachers
are
just
as
essential,
if
not
more
so,
as
instructors
were
in
the
past.
__5__
A．It's
time
that
teachers
should
develop
themselves.
B．Without
this
kind
of
interaction,
education
is
unimaginable.
C．Advanced
as
computers
may
be,
some
teachers
are
less
important.
D．But
to
make
a
good
teacher
means
far
more
than
being
an
encyclopedia
(百科全书)．
E．People
can't
help
wondering
whether
teachers
are
as
important
as
they
once
were.
F．Some
drawbacks
make
it
impossible
for
computers
to
replace
teachers
in
classrooms.
G．It
is
well
known
that
computers
are
better
at
repetitive
work
but
incapable
of
creative
thinking.

课时作业4
课时练(一)
阅读理解
第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了乘坐大巴游悉尼的旅游项目，包括旅游的景点、旅游班次、时间安排、票价以及购票方式等。
1．B 考查推理判断。根据第一段“Hop
an
open?top
double?decker
bus
to
experience
the
celebrated
scenery,
landmarks
and
attractions
of
Sydney
and
Bondi
Beach.
It's
the
perfect
way
to
see
and
explore
the
‘Harbor
City’”可知，登上一辆敞篷双层巴士，体验悉尼和邦迪海滩的著名风景、地标和景点。这是游览和探索这个“海港城市”的完美方式。据此可推知，悉尼著名的景点吸引游客乘坐大巴游览，故B项正确。
2．B 考查细节理解。根据题干关键词“2
adults
with
1
child”和“premium
ticket
online
in
advance”定位到文章中的价格信息表和信息表下方的“Save
10%
when
you
pre?book
online”，两个大人和一个小孩的价格为$70×2＋$46＝$186，优惠10%，即$186×(1－10%)＝$167.40，故B项正确。
3．C 考查推理判断。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了乘坐大巴游悉尼的旅游项目，包括旅游的景点、旅游班次、时间安排、票价以及购票方式等。据此可推知，本文最可能选自报纸的旅游栏目，故C项正确。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。一个11岁的少年因一次偶然的经历，决定为低收入家庭募捐建房，经过数年的不懈努力，实现了这一梦想。
4．C 考查推理判断。结合文中对Josh
Morrison筹款过程的描述以及第二段中的“Many
people
doubted
whether
he
could
reach
his
goal
of
$100,000,
but
it
didn't
shake
his
faith”可知，尽管很多人怀疑他是不是能在四年中完成这件事，但是他信念坚定。由此可见他是“意志坚定的”，故选C项。
5．B 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“his
goal
of
$100,000”和第三段中的“Still,
there
were
challenges.
Four
months
before
his
deadline,
he
was
$30,000
short.
He
decided
to
hold
a
Family
Fun
Fair...
$19,000”可知，在截止日期前的四个月，离他的筹款目标还差30
000美元，于是他决定举办这个活动来达到目标，故选B项。
6．B 考查推理判断。根据下文中的“we
decided
to
do
more”以及“‘Josh's
Penny
House’
is
being
built
by
Habitat
for
Humanity
in
the
city
of
Oshawa,
along
with
24
new
townhouses.
Josh
has
helped
with
some
of
the
construction”可知，捐款势头一直保持下去，他收到了比最初目标多的钱，于是打算做更多的事情，帮助建造Josh's
Penny
House以及24所新住宅来帮助需要的人，所以画线处应意为“他继续收到捐款”，故选B项。
7．D 考查主旨大意。文章主要讲述了一个11岁的少年经过几年不懈的努力，实现为低收入家庭募捐建房的梦想的经历。本文提到的“Josh's
Penny
House”是解题的暗示。钱是Josh一分分筹来的，因此本文最佳标题是D项。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，以一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司Basecamp的54名员工将近半年时间每周只工作4天，共32小时的情况为例说明了较短的工作周有益于人们的身心健康，并以一项研究来证明。
8．A 考查细节理解。根据第一段可知，一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司Basecamp的54名员工在每年5月到9月期间每周的工作时间都很短：只有四天，共32小时，持续5个月，大概半年时间，故选A项。
9．C 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Working
50?，
60?，
or
70?plus
hours
is
unnecessary.
In
fact,
if
you
have
to
work
50?，
60?，
or
70?
plus
hours
a
week,
there's
a
management
problem.”可知，弗里德先生认为一周工作五、六十个小时，甚至七十几个小时是没有必要的。如果真这么做了，反而会出现管理上的问题，由此推知，弗里德先生认为人们可以在短时间内把工作做好，故选C项。
10．D 考查推理判断。根据第四至六段，尤其是第四段可知，这个新研究发现长时间工作不只对员工的身心健康有害，工作的强度也会影响员工的职业前景。这是因为难以忍受的工作时长和工作强度会降低工作质量，第五、六两段进一步说明了长时间高强度工作的坏处。由此可以推知，该研究是建议人们要避免高强度工作，故选D项。
11．C 考查主旨大意。文章第一、二段以一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司Basecamp为例，说明了较短的工作周的好处。第三段介绍了较短的工作周的好处。第四至六段介绍了一项有关工作时长和工作强度对人的影响的研究，更进一步印证了较短工作周对人身心方面的益处。由此可知C项最能概括全文内容。
【语篇解读】 文章通过描述机器人在餐厅和旅馆进行工作的场景以及应用软件的使用，引发了自动化对餐饮业和旅店业就业市场的讨论。
12．B 考查推理判断。文章第一段描述日本一家餐馆以机器人为大厨、一家旅馆由机器人为客人提供服务，用这两个例子来吸引读者的注意，并引入自动化的主题。故选B项。
13．A 考查推理判断。“This
is
seemingly
worrying.”是一个承上启下的句子，This指的是第二段中的“Since
you
can
work
them
24
hours
a
day,
and...
to
use
the
robot.”，表示我们可以让机器人每天工作24小时，而且机器人不需要假期，使用机器人更加划算。但下一句又说近年来餐厅和旅馆的就业形势很好，所以画线部分应是表达“这似乎是对人类工作的一个挑战”，故选A项。
14．B 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“which
means
it
needs
more
total
workers
to
meet
consumers'
demand”可知，自动化的发展意味着需要更多的工人以满足消费者的需求，即自动化将会为人类提供更多的就业机会。故选B项。
15．A 考查推理判断。综观全文，尤其是由文章最后一段“Of
course,
whether
automation
is
a
net
benefit
for
workers...
to
book
unique
homes.”可知，作者既不随意肯定自动化的结果，也不支持人为抵制自动化，属于客观的描述，故选A项。positive意为“肯定的”；cautious意为“谨慎的”；doubtful意为“怀疑的”。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。随着计算机科学的发展，电脑越来越多地被应用到课堂教学中。电脑虽然擅长重复工作，但是没有创造能力。老师的地位仍然和从前一样，是课堂教学的组织者和指导者。
1．E 根据空前一句可知，尽管老师几乎没有变化，但是电脑的运行速度和容量每四年就达双倍；根据后一句可知，至少“我”认为老师的作用仍然很重要。据此可推知，空处表示人们会对教师是否如先前一样重要产生怀疑，故E项符合语境。
2．G 根据空后可知，尽管电脑可能很先进，但是它们只是人们的发明，用来完成一些特定的任务。据此可知，空处应是介绍电脑的特点，即电脑擅长处理重复性的工作，但是没有创造性思维，故G项正确。
3．D 根据空后可知，一位优秀的老师应当能组织和鼓励学生。据此可推知，空处应是介绍对优秀老师的标准的论述，即好老师不仅仅是百科全书，故D项正确。
4．B 根据空前可知，老师应当观察学生态度的改变，当他们表现出没有耐心或沮丧的迹象时应当及时回应并鼓励他们，即该处陈述的是师生之间的互动。据此可知，空处应当陈述这种师生互动的重要性，故B项正确。
5．F 根据空前可知，尽管电脑在课堂上被推广使用，但是老师的地位仍然和以前一样重要。据此可知，空处与此对应，总结全文，说明电脑的局限性使得电脑不可能在课堂上取代老师，故F项正确。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，通过作者的钱包失而复得的故事告诉我们：只要人人都能够善良对待他人，我们的世界将会变成更加美好的人间。

2．D 根据上文中的“I
__1__
it
was
something
to
do
with
an
accident
I
had
recently”可推知，作者渴望(eagerly)去接这个电话，故选D项。
3．B 根据上文可知，作者认为那通电话和自己的一起事故有关，但是接通电话后才知道并非如此。此处前后表示转折，故Instead“相反”符合语境，故选B项。
4．C 根据第二段和第三段的描述可推知，Darren捡到了作者的钱包，因此他打电话问作者是否丢了什么东西，故选C项。
5．D 根据语境可知，作者接电话时并不知道打电话的人是谁，因此作者问对方是谁，故选D项。

第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了智能宾馆的相关内容。

①hates改为hated 考查动词的时态。根据该句中的used
to可知，该处陈述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，故将hates改为hated。
②attracted前加was 考查动词的时态和语态。根据该句中的by
the
sport和句意可知，主语I和动词attract之间为被动关系，应用被动语态；又根据该句中的started可知，此处描述的是发生在过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故在attracted前加was。
③the改为a 考查冠词。句意：虽然这对“我”来说不是一个艰难的过程，但“我”需要比别人付出更多的努力。根据句意可知，该处泛指“一个艰难的过程”，且hard的发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。
④work改为working 考查动名词。介词后可接动名词、名词或代词，故此处介词of后用动名词working。
⑤删除spend后的it 考查代词。分析该句结构可知，此处为定语从句，先行词为the
time，关系代词在从句中作spend的宾语被省略，故it多余，应删除。
⑥much改为more或much后加more 考查形容词的比较级。根据该句中的than可知，该处表示比较的含义，应用形容词的比较级，故可将much改more；此处也可理解为much作副词，修饰形容词的比较级，此时应在much后加more。
⑦and改为but 考查连词。该句意为：有时候人们会看不起“我”，但没关系。根据句意可知，此处表转折，故用连词but。
⑧with改为by 考查介词。根据句意可知，此处表示“通过反复练习”。表示使用某种方式或方法，应用by“通过，使用”，故将with改为by。
⑨player改为players 考查名词的单复数。player为可数名词，根据该句中的other和句意可知，此处表示“其他出色的运动员”，故用player的复数形式。
⑩myself改为me 考查代词。分析句子结构可知，该处作及物动词encourage的宾语，表示“鼓励我继续下去”，故用宾格代词me。
