阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life-changing adventure overseas. They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down. However, life overseas is not always easy, and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.

The honeymoon period

At first, for those who actually decide to move abroad, life is an exciting adventure. They enjoy exploring their new surroundings, and life seems like an extended holiday. They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture. They can even afford to practice their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes.

Trouble in paradise

In many cases, when people consider moving to another country, they often fail to realize how different life will be. As time goes by, they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache. In this stage, the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background.

The road to recovery

Gradually, most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them. This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home, such as opening a bank account. This new-found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.

Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem. The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country: you will not succeed. If not, you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.

21. Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?

A. They find foreign living much easier.

B. They have the necessary language skills.

C. They love the adventure and exploration.

D. They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.

22. According to the author, what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?

A. Homesickness.

B. Culture shock.

C. Health problems.

D. Lack of employment.

23. What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?

A. Study the local language.

B. Go on holidays frequently.

C. Learn how to open a bank account.

D. Seek out people from their home country.

B

Australia loves interesting money. In 1988, it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes. Now it’s introduced a new five-dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future!

At first glance, the new note looks much like the old one. It has the same pink colour and main pictures on the front and back. But look closer, and you will notice a clear window running down the middle, surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses, a type of Australian plant.

Tilt(使倾斜) the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill, an Australian bird, beating its wings as if trying to fly away. Turn the bill from side to side, and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins, and the image of “5” changes position. While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining, that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them. Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for

criminals to produce their own fake notes.

The new five-dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money. It has s raised bump alongside the top and bottom, enabling blind people to quickly determine its value.

The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all-important bump goes to 15-year-old Connor McLeod. The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas. Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria. To convince the government officials of his idea, Connor started a website that got huge public attention.

The government will add this feature to the new $10 bill which comes out in late 2017, as well as the updated $20, $50, and $100 bills that are still being designed.

24. Which picture does NOT move when the banknote is tilted ?

A. The bird.

B. The number.

C. The plants.

D. The building.

25. What was the main reason the Australian government created the new banknote?

A. To make the note more difficult to copy.

B. To show the country’s advanced technology.

C. To help blind people more easily use money.

D. To make the not’s appearance more attractive.

26. What can we guess about Australian coins?

A. They are different in size or shape.

B. They are required in school cafeterias.

C. They are more frequently used than notes.

D. They are more convenient for young people.

27. What did Connor do to persuade the government?

A. He wrote a letter to the leaders.

B. He organized an online meeting.

C. He sought support on the Internet.

D. He requested a special Christmas gift.

C

At this year’s Technology Forum, speakers include world-famous people, such as Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, and lesser-known individuals with great ideas to change the world. One of the latter is Jonny Cohen, a high school senior, green businessman and creator of GreenShields.

Since Cohen was a child, he has been innovating and inventing. When he was 12 and took science classes at Northwestern University, he saw a school bus and had an idea: what if the shape of school bus was improved to make it more fuel efficient? This would greatly reduce the amount of pollution it produced. He set about making a wind tunnel in his parents’ garage and placed small metal plates or shields on toy school buses to test them. The result: his shields redirected the airflow over and around the bus, decreased wing drag, and produced better fuel economy and less pollution.

Cohen went through various experiments to improve his GreenShields invention. With the help of MIT and Cook-Illinois Bus Company, which donated a full-sized bus for Cohen’s experiments, he now has a shield model that is inexpensive and easy to attach, enabling widespread adoption.

How much of an impact can these shields have on climate change? Fuel consumption for the average US school bus is seven miles per gallon. GreenShields increases fuel efficiency by 10-20%, saving about $600 per bus per year, and costs only $30 to attach. Cohen and his partners are now trying to persuade the government to put GreenShields on all school buses.

With almost half-a-million school buses in America using nearly $ billion of fuel per year, a consumption reduction of 10-20% would make a big difference in pollution. Not to mention the roughly $285 million in annual savings on fuel.

28. What can we learn about Jonny Cohen from the text?

A. He has produced GreenShields independently.

B. He has been employed to improve school buses.

C. He is a world-famous businessman and inventor.

D. He has a talent for finding and solving problems.

does GreenShields make a bus more fuel efficient?

A. By reducing the amount of wind drag.

B. By improving the quality of fuel used.

C. By providing a wind tunnel for the bus.

D. By changing the shape of the bus engine.

30. Where did Cohen begin testing his shields?

A. At Northwestern University.

B. In his parents’ garage.

C. At a local bus company.

D. In an MIT lab.

31. What’s the intended benefit of Cohen’s invention?

A. To provide school buses with cheaper fuel.

B. To reduce the cost of producing school buses.

C. To increase the profits of the school bus industry.

D. To make school buses more environmentally-friendly.

D

We all know the feeling: looking at the computer screen, pretending to be interested in our homework, even though we really feel bored. But such feelings may soon be at an end, says Dr. Harry Witchel, head of the Essex Medical School. He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it.

Before you get concerned, the machine won’t be reading your mind. It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer. It’s not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine 一like moving a mouse or touching a screen — but small, barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes，moving in your seat or rubbing your face. Witchel calls these “boredom movements" and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching. The higher the interest level, the less movement!

To test his theory, Witchel invited 27 people to perform various computer-based tasks. The activities ranged from playing online games (an interesting task) to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring.

A special video camera followed the participants’ movements as they completed each task. Just as the researcher expected, the “boredom movements" greatly decreased, by as much as 42%，when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing.

Fortunately, Dr Witchel isn’t planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention at school. Instead, he wants “movement sensing” technology to be built into future computers in order to improve students' computer-based learning experience.

The scientist says that by measuring the students' interest level as they work, educators will be able to adjust their materials in real-time to keep students focused. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future, help to develop more intelligent robots.

32. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Homework.

B. A computer.

C. Boredom.

D. The future.

33. Why did Dr Witchel carry out his research?

A. To discover how bored people move.

B. To find out what makes people bored.

C. To see if interested people are more active.

D. To test the link between boredom and movement.

34. Which movement would Witchel's technology most likely pay attention to?

A. Turning off the machine.

B. Typing words on a keyboard.

C. Surfing quickly between webpages.

D. Moving one’s head from side to side.

35. How will the new technology help education, according to Witchel?

A. By reducing teachers' workload.

B. By maintaining students' learning interest.

C. By reporting students' misbehavior in class.

D. By making learning more like a computer game.

Philadelphia is a city known for many things. It is where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, and it was also the first capital of the United States. _____36________ It is home to nearly mural(壁画) painted on the side of homes and buildings around the city. That’s more

murals than any other city on Earth. _____37________

More than 20 years ago, a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city. _____38________ The teenagers involved helped to create magnificent pieces of art, and there were other, even more important, benefits. The young people learned to cooperate and get along with many different kinds of people during the painting. They learned to be responsible, because they needed to follow a schedule to make sure the murals were completed. _____39________ It is hard for anyone to see the spectacular designs and not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.

Take a walk around some of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia and you will find beautiful works of art on the side and fronts of buildings. Of course the murals are not just in poor neighborhoods, but richer ones as well. Special buses take tourists to different parts of the city to see the various murals, which show the diverse ethnic groups that call Philadelphia home.

_____40_______ It is also a model for other cities throughout America seeking to help troubled youth.

A. How did this come to be?

B. What happened to the murals on Earth?

C. They also learned to take pride in their community.

D. But one fact about Philadelphia is not so well-known.

E. From this some project, something magical happened.

F. The program encouraged troubled youth to paint together with their teachers.

G. As a result of its success, the murals program has now become the nation’s largest public art program.

Dear Mike,

Thanks for your letter and I can't wait for you to get to Guangzhou. As for getting around the city don't worry so much. Guangzhou has an excellent public transport system, with buses, trams and metro trains that can take you anywhere you need to go. Best of all they are very cheap and run all the time. We also have a new bicycle service that lets you rent a bike anywhere in the city and leave the bike where you like. It’s so easy. If you want to travel outside the city to the countryside or suburbs we can get around in my father’s car or we can even use one of the many online car-hire services available.

Yours,

Dear Mike,

There are many options available getting around Guangzhou. When you just want to travel around the downtown area, I suggest that you hire a street bike. They are everywhere and best of all when you finish you can leave the bike where you like. We also have an excellent metro system and bus service. I recommend that you avoid using the buses as much as possible, as traffic jams are pretty common, especially during rush hour. The metro should be perfect for most places. If you want to go to the suburbs or countryside my father can drive us or you can even use one of the many car-hire services available. Looking forward to seeing you in Guangzhou.

Yours,

广州二模英语试题

2019年广州二模英语试题 A The country is India. A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist. At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping- on- a- chair -at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men. “A woman's reaction in any crisis, "the officer says, “is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has." The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors. The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place-under the table. His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone." I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred-that's five minutes-and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"

2013年广东省广州市中考英语试卷-答案

广东省广州市2013年初中毕业生学业考试 英语答案解析 一、听力 略 二、语言知识与运用 第一节单项选择 16.【答案】C 【解析】考查冠词。名词the boy被in white这个介词短语做定语修饰，特指“穿白色衣服”的那个男孩，故用定冠词the。 17.【答案】A 【解析】考查非谓语动词。不定式做tell的宾语补足语，构成tell sb．to do sth的结构。对不定式进行否定在to前加not，即not to do 18.【答案】B 【解析】考查反身代词。by oneself为“靠某人自己”，该题的主语the man为男士，故用himself（他自己）。 19.【答案】C 【解析】考查宾语从句的连词。宾语从句欠缺talk bout的宾语部分，故排除how和when（副词，只能做状语）；根据句意，我无法理解你所正在谈论的事情。故用what（什么）而不是which（哪一个）。 20.【答案】A 【解析】考查情态动词。根据句意，“我必须现在完成作业吗？”由答句可知，你没有必要（现在完成），故用needn't（没必要）；mustn't表“禁止”，shouldn't表“不应该”，can't表“不能”。 21.【答案】D 【解析】考查不可数名词。news为“新闻”，是不可数名词，所以不能用只能修饰可数名词的many和afewalot 后面要加of才能加名词。 22.【答案】B 【解析】考查介词。根据句意，“没有你的帮忙，我没法做这件事情”。故用without（没有，无）；with（有，伴随），for和to（对于），均不符合题意。 23.【答案】C 【解析】考查固定搭配。take away“带走”，take off“起飞”，take care of“照顾”take out of“从…..取出”。 24.【答案】B 【解析】考查时态。when引导一个过去时态的从句，可知主句动作发生在过去，故用一般过去。

广州市2020年高三第二次模拟考试英语试题及答案

广州市2020年高三第二次模拟考试 英语 第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。 WENQIANG A We can all think of times when people didn't make remembering easy. Directions given at machine-gun speed. New people introduced in a flood of names and handshakes. Whenever information is passed between people, it’s all too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and you’ll see parents who can get their children to rem ember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to imprint their sales messages on our brains. So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and engagement. FOCUS means ensuring that the person you’re talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope. IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people “see”the ideas you’re giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors. REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protectthem from embarrassment, or let them enjoy a particular experience or event. EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them laugh. The next time you’ve got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You’ll discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people’s memories into action. 21. What is the main purpose of the text? A.To report new research. B.To provide some advice. C.To explain a problem. D.To define some terms. 22. How can you do to help a listener “focus” on w hat you are saying? A.Select the appropriate time to raise the topic. B.Do something humorous to get their attention. C.Make sure the information provided is correct.
