第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节 (共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Our
tolerating
ability
is
indeed
way
beyond
our
imagination.But
not
until
the
very
critical
moment
will
we
realize
our
potential
tolerating
ability.
There
was
a
woman
in
the
countryside
who
got
married
at
the
age
of
18
and
had
to
escape
with
her
two
daughters
and
a
son
wherever
she
could
at
the
age
of
26
due
to
the
Japanese
army’s
invasion.Many
people
could
not
bear
the
suffering
of
being
a
fugitive(逃亡者)and
wanted
to
commit
suicide.Knowing
that，she
would
come
to
those
people
and
soothed
them
by
saying，“Don’t
do
that
silly
thing.There
are
no
such
setbacks
that
we
could
not
overcome.The
Japanese
armies
are
bound
to
be
driven
away
one
day！”
Finally，she
insisted
until
the
day
when
all
the
Japanese
armies
were
kicked
out
of
China.However，her
son
died
of
disease
without
sufficient
medicine
and
nutrition
in
those
days
of
hardships.Her
husband，after
knowing
the
death
of
his
son，lay
in
bed
for
two
days
without
eating
and
drinking
anything.She
said
to
her
husband
in
tears，“We
have
a
tough
destiny，but
however
tough
our
lives
will
be，we
should
persist
in
our
efforts.”
After
she
gave
birth
to
the
second
son，her
husband
died
of
edema(水肿)，which
almost
blew
her
away.But
eventually，she
recovered
and
embraced
the
three
young
children，saying，“My
sweethearts，don’t
feel
scared.You
still
have
me，your
dear
mum！”
It
took
her
painstaking
efforts
to
raise
her
children
up，and
the
life
of
her
family
was
getting
better
and
better.Two
daughters
were
married
and
so
was
her
son
finally.She
said
to
everyone
she
met，“Look!
What
I
said
is
absolutely
right.There
are
no
such
setbacks
that
we
could
not
overcome!
My
life
is
so
happy
now！”
She
lived
until
86.Before
she
went
to
Heaven，she
said
to
her
children，“You
all
should
live
to
your
best.There
are
no
such
setbacks
that
we
could
not
overcome！”
21．What
does
the
underlined
word
“soothed”
in
Paragraph
2
mean?
A．Criticized.
B．Evaluated.
C．Thrilled.
D．Comforted.
22．What
caused
the
woman’s
son’s
death?
A．Japanese
invasion.
B．Her
husband’s
death.
C．Lack
of
nutrition
and
medicine.
D．A
disease
called
edema.
23．The
passage
mainly
wants
to
tell
us
that
.
A．the
woman
led
a
tough
life
B．the
woman
showed
great
love
to
her
kids
C．hardships
can
be
overcome
with
an
iron
will
and
strong
tolerating
ability
D．invading
other
countries
would
make
people
there
suffer
a
lot
B
Flowers
make
people
happy.And
while
that
might
seem
obvious，there
hasn’t
been
much
research
to
prove
the
point
until
now.
Some
new
studies
by
Rutgers
University
scientists
support
the
idea
strongly，and
the
experts
go
on
to
assume
that
flowers
have
flourished
on
this
planet，with
their
beauty
evolving
in
recent
thousands
of
years，partly
because
humans
are
so
attached
to
them.
In
a
test，bunches
of
flowers
were
sent
by
florists
to
113
men
and
women
in
a
retirement
community.All
113
got
flowers
and
a
notebook，but
some
got
them
earlier
and
received
a
second
bunch
when
the
others
got
theirs.By
now
you
can
guess
the
outcome.The
more
flowers，the
more
smiles.
The
results
of
the
studies
got
the
scientists
to
thinking
about
how
the
flower
industry
of
today
has
evolved
into
growing
things
that
serve
no
other
purpose
than
emotional(情感上的)
satisfaction.Nature
won’t
even
pollinate(授粉)
many
of
the
domesticated
flowers.Just
among
roses，there
are
so
many
types
created
by
humans
that，clearly，flowers
aren’t
what
they
used
to
be.But
it’s
likely
that
our
collective
hand
has
played
a
role
longer
than
you
might
think.
Geneticist(遗传学家)
Terry
McGuire
suggests
that
nature’s
prettier
flowers
got
to
survive
and
develop
well
because
people
didn’t
destroy
them
when
they
cleared
for
agriculture.Instead，they
grew
them
and
have
been
doing
so
for
over
5,000
years.“Because
they’re
a
source
of
pleasure，we
take
care
of
them.In
that
sense
they’re
like
dogs.They
are
the
pets
of
the
plant
world，”
McGuire
says.
Here
is
one
way
that
might
have
worked：
“Many
species
of
flowers
that
are
now
planted
used
to
grow
only
when
the
ground
was
disturbed，”
McGuire
explains.“As
humans
moved
into
agricultural
settings，these
flowers
would
have
been
weeds.”“These
flowers
might
have
been
tolerated
because
of
their
beauty.The
seeds
would
have
been
preserved
and
replanted.Over
time，the
best
of
these
flowers
might
have
been
selected
and
the
seeds
more
carefully
preserved.”
24．The
underlined
word
“theirs”
probably
refers
to
.
A．flowers
B．notebooks
C．flowers
and
notebooks
D．a
second
bunch
of
flowers
25．According
to
Terry
McGuire，one
possible
way
of
flower
evolution
is
.
a．the
most
beautiful
flowers
were
chosen
b．people
replanted
the
seeds
of
the
flowers
c．flowers
were
wild
plants
at
the
beginning
d．people
protected
the
prettier
flowers
while
clearing
land
A．c，d，b，a
B．c，b，d，a
C．c，d，a，b
D．c，b，a，d
26．What
is
the
best
title
of
this
passage?
A．More
Flowers，More
Smiles
B．Flowers：Pets
of
Plant
World
C．Human’s
Affection
&
Flowers’
Evolution
D．Human’s
Love
Towards
Flowers

A
robot
created
by
Washington
State
University
(WSU)
scientists
could
help
elderly
people
with
dementia(痴呆)
and
other
limitations
live
independently
in
their
own
homes.
The
Robot
Activity
Support
System
or
RAS，uses
sensors
installed
in
a
WSU
smart
home
to
determine
where
its
residents
are，what
they
are
doing
and
when
they
need
assistance
with
daily
activities.It
navigates
(定位)
through
rooms
and
around
obstacles
to
find
people
on
its
own，provides
video
instructions
on
how
to
do
simple
tasks
and
can
even
lead
its
owner
to
objects
like
their
medication
or
a
snack
in
the
kitchen.
“RAS
combines
the
convenience
of
a
mobile
robot
with
the
activity
detection
technology
of
a
WSU
smart
home
to
provide
assistance
in
the
moment，as
the
need
for
help
is
detected，”
said
Bryan
Minor，a
postdoctoral
researcher
in
the
WSU
School
of
Electrical
Engineering
and
Computer
Science.
Currently，an
estimated
50
percent
of
adults
over
the
age
of
85
need
assistance
with
every
day
activities
such
as
preparing
meals
and
taking
medication
and
the
annual
cost
for
this
assistance
in
the
US
is
nearly
2
trillion.With
the
number
of
adults
over
85
expected
to
triple
by
2050，researchers
hope
that
technologies
like
RAS
and
the
WSU
smart
home
will
relieve
some
of
the
financial
strain
on
the
healthcare
system
by
making
it
easier
for
older
adults
to
live
alone.
RAS
is
the
first
robot
that
researchers
have
tried
to
incorporate
into
their
smart
home
environment.They
recently
published
a
study
in
the
journal
Cognitive
Systems
Research
that
demonstrates
how
RAS
could
make
life
easier
for
older
adults
struggling
to
live
independently.
“While
we
are
still
in
an
early
stage
of
development，our
initial
results
with
RAS
have
been
promising，”
Minor
said.“The
next
step
in
the
research
will
be
to
test
RAS’
performance
with
a
group
of
older
adults
to
get
a
better
idea
of
what
prompts，video
reminders
and
other
preferences
they
have
regarding
the
robot.”
27．How
does
RAS
serve
elderly
people?
A．Through
sensors.
B．Through
objects.
C．Through
a
mobile
robot.
D．Through
their
daily
activities.
28．What
can
we
know
about
RAS?
A．It
is
the
first
robot
used
in
daily
life.
B．Its
function
remains
to
be
tested.
C．It
can
locate
people
and
do
any
task.
D．It
can
cook
for
owners
on
its
own.
29．What’s
Minor’s
attitude
toward
the
future
of
RAS?
A．Doubtful.
B．Negative.
C．Optimistic.
D．Uncertain.
30．What
can
be
a
suitable
title
for
the
text?
A．Elderly

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。
Choosing
the
Right
Path
to
Be
a
“Better”
Person
Life
is
a
constant
exercise
in
self?improvement.In
the
rush
to
achieve，the
idea
of
being
“better”can
become
lost
sometimes.You
may
always
wonder
how
to
improve
yourself
and
fulfill
your
dreams
in
an
easier
way.
31
Explore
your
talents.
Everybody
has
some
outstanding
skills
or
interests.So
it’s
often
necessary
to
be
patient
and
try
many
things
before
you
find
one
that
suits
you.
32
For
example，people
loving
adventure
may
not
be
interested
in
the
quiet
chess
club，but
someone
who
enjoys
other
quiet
activities
might
be.Determining
who
you
enjoy
being
around
may
help
you
know
what
you’ll
enjoy.
33
No
matter
how
much
money
you
make，you
will
not
be
happy
if
you
spend
your
entire
life
doing
something
you
hate.It’s
important
to
at
least
devote
some
of
your
time
to
what
makes
you
happy.
If
you’re
particularly
unhappy
at
your
job，consider
why.
34
If
you
feel
your
job
isn’t
meaningful，or
isn’t
in
line
with
your
values，consider
finding
another
job.
Experience
something
new.
Research
has
shown
that
when
we’re
in
our
comfort
zone，we
aren’t
as
productive
as
we
are
when
we
step
just
beyond
it.
35
Because
of
that，we
may
react
slowly
to
our
own
positive
experiences
and
interactions
with
others，even
when
those
are
little
scary.Doing
so
can
help
you
achieve
more.
A．Do
what
you
love.
B．Here
are
some
tips
for
you.
C．Register
in
a
class
you’re
interested
in.
D．Humans
adapt
very
quickly
to
positive
events.
E．It’s
possible
that
some
changes
may
change
your
feeling.
F．Similar
types
of
people
may
be
attracted
to
the
same
activities.
G．Try
not
to
allow
yourself
to
focus
so
much
on
a
certain
aspect
of
your
life.
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分45分)
第一节 (共20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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
I
went
to
a
New
York
Mets
fantasy
camp
in
1991,
and
I
was
fortunate
to
be
on
a
team
for
a
week
whose
pitching(投球)
coach
was
famous
Mel
Stottlemyre.Mel
was
wonderful
to
all
of
us
36
ballplayers
throughout
the
week.He
was
warm
and
37
，treating
us
as
if
we
were
major
leaguers.
At
last，Mel
38
the
job
at
the
Mets
and
became
the
coach
for
the
Yankees.I
followed
his
39
and
knew
about
his
diagnosis(诊断)of
a
blood
cancer
in
2000.Luckily，a
suitable
40
appeared
during
a
championship
run，so
he
took
41
from
the
Yankees
to
undergo
a
stem
cell
transplant(干细胞移植)．
In
2002,
I
was
42
by
desperation
because
I
was
diagnosed
with
the
same
disease
and
needed
a
stem
cell
transplant
too.I
was
in
a
very
43
need
to
speak
to
Mel，but
I
had
lost
44
with
him.One
day，my
phone
rang.It
was
Mel.He
explained
45
his
experience
of
having
the
transplant
to
me—for
all
of
an
hour.I
46
every
word.“I
feel
great，so
I’m
not
47
，”
he
told
me.At
last，he
ended
the
48
by
giving
me
his
home
phone
number！This
unbelievable
experience
49
my
spirits.Every
time
I
saw
Mel
during
games
on
TV
as
I
50
for
my
transplant，I
repeated
to
myself，“Look
at
Mel.I’ll
51
.”
The
great
news
is
that
my
doctors
told
me
my
52
went
into
remission(缓解)
thanks
to
the
successful
transplant—and
it
has
been
53
for
15
years.Since
then，I
have
spoken
to
many
54
with
the
same
problem.I
have
been
glad
to
55
Mel
to
share
what
he
did
for
me.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Paperless
office
was
first
coined
in
1975.Four
decades
later，we’re
still
chasing
the
paperless
office
dream.Take
the
financial
industry
for
example—
it
is
one
of
the
slower
industries
to
hug
digital
transformation.Many
financial
institutions
today
still
send
out
trade
confirmations
by
mail.I
can
tell
you
from
first?hand
experience
that
going
paperless
is
by
no
means
impossible.The
Centric
Digital
office
is
a
paperless
work
environment
where
all
the
office
operations
go
digital，which
has
amazed
our
business
partners.
Actually
companies
need
to
stress
the
benefits
of
a
digital
culture
for
communications.Going
paperless
can
save
time
and
money.You
could
say
goodbye
to
costly
repairs，office
supply
orders，wasted
employee
time
and
so
on.Besides，forbidding
paper
in
the
office
forces
information
to
be
100%
digital，where
you
can
make
endless
amounts
of
backups(备份)，which
easily
increase
transparency(透明度)．Not
to
mention，top
talents
want
to
work
for
digital
companies.
You
might
think
the
secret
to
a
paperless
company
is
purely
technology.Well，not
really.Thanks
to
products
like
iPads，smartphones
and
cloud
services，the
ability
to
go
paperless
is
highly
accessible.Yet，even
with
all
this
technology，companies
continue
to
rely
on
paper.It’s
not
because
they
don’t
have
access
to
the
technology，but
because
they’re
lacking
the
politics，organizational
structure
and
strong
desire
to
change.In
order
to
go
paperless，companies
need
to
change
the
way
they
think
and
operate.The
decision
needs
to
be
made
and
cried
out
and
everyone
needs
to
work
together
to
make
it.
Yes，the
paperless
office
has
been
a
very
long
time
in
the
making—but
it
no
longer
has
to
be.With
numerous
amounts
of
software，services，apps
and
technology
available
today，the
only
thing
we
need
to
do
is
to
make
the
decision
to
go
paperless
and
see
it
through.
高一英语江苏省南通市2020-2021学年高一上学期期中考试模拟试题(标准卷)英语试题答案精析

语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述一个坚强女性的故事告诉我们，坚强和坚忍可以帮助我们克服困难。我们的忍耐力确实超出了我们的想象。但直到关键时刻，我们才会意识到自己潜在的承受能力。
21．D [词义猜测题。从后面她所说的话可以看出，她安慰大家没有过不去的坎，日本人总有一天会被赶出去的，该词应该是“安慰”的意思。故选D项。]
22．C [细节理解题。由第三段第二句“However，her
son
died
of
disease
without
sufficient
medicine
and
nutrition
in
those
days
of
hardships.”可知，她儿子由于缺医少药又极度缺乏营养，因病夭折了。故选C项。]
23．C [主旨大意题。结合首尾段的内容可知，文章主要告诉我们坚强和坚忍可以帮助我们克服困难。故选C项。]
(
24．C [词义猜测题。画线词所在句的句意为：113名志愿者都收到了鲜花和一本笔记本，但有些人提前收到了鲜花和笔记本，当其他人收到时，他们又收到了第二束鲜花。由此推知画线词指的是前半句提到的“花和笔记本”。故选C。]
25．A [推理判断题。根据第五段第一句“Geneticist
(遗传学家)
Terry
McGuire
suggests
that...”和最后一段最后两句“The
seeds
would
have
been
preserved
and
replanted.Over
time，the
best
of
these
flowers
might
have
been
selected
and
the
seeds
more
carefully
preserved.”可知，根据Terry
McGuire的说法，花卉进化的一种可能方式是最初花朵是野生的植物→人们在清理土地时保护着这些比较美丽的花朵→人们重新种植了这些花的种子→选了最漂亮的花。由此可知答案为A。]
26．C [标题归纳题。根据第一段提到的“花使人快乐。虽然这似乎是显而易见的，但到目前为止还没有多少研究能证明这一点。”和第二段提到的“专家们认为花卉在这个星球上已经繁盛起来，它们的美丽在最近几千年不断进化，主要是因为人类对它们如此喜爱。”以及后面几段的内容可知，C项“人的喜爱与花的进化”为最佳主题。故选C。]
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了一款由美国华盛顿州立大学的科学家们研发的机器人，可以帮助那些痴呆或有身体缺陷的老年人在家里过上自立的生活。
27．A [细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句可知，机器人活动支持系统(RAS)使用WSU智能家居中配备的传感器来确定其居民在哪里，他们在做什么以及何时需要日常活动的帮助，说明传感器起到了重大的作用，故选A项。]
28．B [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“The
next
step
in
the
research
will
be
to
test
RAS’
performance...”可知，这款机器人的表现还要经过进一步的测试，说明正在测试阶段，故选B项。]
29．C [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“While
we
are
still
in
an
early
stage
of
development，our
initial
results
with
RAS
have
been
promising”可知，Minor对这款机器人的未来发展非常乐观，故选C项。]
30．B [标题归纳题。文章介绍了一款由美国华盛顿州立大学的科学家们研发的机器人。由最后一段中的“The
next
step
in
the
research
will
be
to
test
RAS’
performance”可知，机器人目前还在华盛顿州立大学的智能屋里进行测试，故选B项。]
