名校模拟练 01 阅读理解 应用文 (每篇限时7分钟) (2022·江西·临川一中模拟预测)The COVID-19 pandemic is causing worldwide concern for elementary and secondary school students’ mental condition. The following are some possible activities that can be carried out to help them and also create a safe and healthy school environment. John’s and Mary’s thoughts Students are presented with a picture which says that John and Mary have different thoughts after they have heard of the coronavirus (冠状病毒). Then students are invited to guess and write the characters’ thoughts on the picture. This activity uses a “projective” method, as students are not asked what their feelings are, but instead, they project their feelings onto the characters. When I’m worried After talking about what the characters may think, students can now turn their attention to themselves. They are asked to list their common worries, but most importantly, they are directed to think about some response measures and the helpful relationships they can rely on. This is a vital exercise, for it shifts students’ focus from their worries to the coping strategies. Seeking a balance Students are asked to provide three key recommendations to prevent infection. Teachers can pick out the positive behavior and correct any incorrect suggestions. It’s also important to strike a balance between the recommended healthy behavior and the concept that microorganisms are a natural part of the environment and that many of them play a key role in sustaining human life. Videos to know and understand viruses It is advisable to plan science lessons on microorganisms. Students can know more about the pandemic by studying microbial (微生物的) life, and thus they can understand what viruses are and how they spread. But be careful not to bring anxiety—avoid talking about scary messages. 20.Which activity helps students express their feelings indirectly?A.Seeking a balance. B.John’s and Mary’s thoughts. C.When I’m worried. D.Videos to know and understand viruses. 21.Why is the second activity important to reduce students’ worries? A.It puts students at ease. B.It enables students to share experiences. C.It directs students’ attention to the solutions. D.It helps students to establish good relationships. 22.What can students learn from the last two paragraphs? A.The concept of science. B.Suggestions to prevent infection. C.Knowledge about microorganisms. D.Positive behavior to stay healthy. 记叙文 (河北省石家庄二中2021-2022学年高三联考) The bell rang. Jada sighed, slowly moved from the lockers where she had been leaning, and headed down the hall to her chemistry class. Honors Chemistry! Jada couldn't believe that her mom was making her take the class because Jada's counselor had said that she had real talent in science. Jada had to admit that she liked science and that last year's class was a breeze, but come on, Honors Chemistry? She wouldn’t know anyone in the class,and they probably wouldn't know anyone like her. The good thing about being late is that it shortened the period a bit. The bad thing is that it made her seem like she was making a grand entrance. To make matters worse, the only two seats left in class were at the lab table at the very front of the room. Jada held her breath and walked in. Everyone's eyes were on her. She just knew it. They were staring at her coal black hair (freshly dyed), her black lipstick, her black fingernail polish, and her thrift-store black leather jacket. All she saw were polo shirts and khaki pants. This can’t get any worse, Jada thought. But at least she didn't get shouted at by the teacher. He was too busy talking to a new kid, a HUGE new kid, who had to weigh at least 250 pounds. A football player, probably. She hated football players. They thought they were so great. That group of jocks that hung out by the cafeteria always made fun of her. The new kid made his way over to her table with his head down. He had to squeeze into the seat, and his legs wouldn't fit under the lab table. He shot Jada a glance and turned red.Mr. Martin, the teacher, began class with this announcement: "Okay, everyone. I know most of you know each other from last year's Honors Physical Science class." Jada sighed loudly."But just take a minute and introduce yourself to the person sitting at your table. You'll be partners. You'll be working closely together all year." Jada rolled her eyes and stared straight ahead. Then she heard a surprisingly soft voice from next to her. "Hi, I'm Robert. I'm new here."... 4.What can you learn about Jada from the first two paragraphs? A.She found she didn't like science as she thought. B.She was angry that her mother made her go to school. C.She wasn't willing to take the Honors Chemistry class. D.She thought this year's chemistry class would be a breeze, 5.The writer described Jada's appearance in paragraph 4 in order to_______. A.reveal how different she was from her classmates B.explain why she was late for school that morning C.imply that she felt sorry for making a grand entrance D.give readers a general impression of science students 6.In paragraph 5, the phrase "that group of jocks" refers to _______. A.the new kid B.football players C.Jada's teacher D.Jada's classmates 7.What can we learn about the new kid according to the passage2? A.He was shy. B.He was rude. C.He liked sports. D.He looked sad. (山东省济南外国语学校 2021-2022学年高三月考)The idea of getting a tattoo (纹身) copy popped into Prue’s head when he noticed that his 8-year-old son refused to take his shirt off in the swimming pool. Prue realized that his son was starting to be aware of his birthmark, which covers a huge part of his chest. Prue secretly went to a tattoo shop. The tattoo he wanted had to be identical to his son’s birthmark, so they had to do it in nine sessions. “The first sitting was close to four hours. And I didn’t really look to see what was going on,” said Prue. “’So I thought at the end of four hours it was done. So I asked, ‘Is it almost done?’ and he said, ‘I’m almost done the outline.” It has been a bit of a process for Prue as well as painful experience. Because of the size and theposition of the birthmark he was trying to copy, he had to suffer a lot of pain. Tony Gibert, the tattoo artist, said that the area has very sensitive nerve endings which gave Prue so much discomfort and undesirable sensations. Pain hours added up to nearly thirty hours in total. In a video where the son saw his dad’s tattoo, he can be heard saying, “that’s cool.” This time, without any hesitation, he took off his shirt and jumped in the swimming pool. Apparently, his dad’s action changed his perspectives, which made him feel confident again. As expected, his son was so happy to see it but also a little confused, not expecting his dad would do it. Despite all the pain and long hours of waiting, Prue never felt discouraged. What mattered to him was to make his son happy and help bring back his self-confidence. 1.Where was Prue’s tattoo? A.On the face. B.On the neck. C.On the chest. D.On the leg. 2.How long did Prue take on the tattoo in all? A.Four hours. B.Twelve hours. C.Twenty hours D.Thirty hours. 3.How did the son feel on seeing the tattoo? A.Painful. B.Delighted. C.Sensitive. D.Discouraged. 说明文 (2022·河南·模拟预测)Parents annoyed by their little ones’ picky food choices often sigh in anger, thinking, “They’ll grow out of it by college.” Maybe not, suggests a new study from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Some young people continue their picky eating into early adulthood, often restricting their diets to 10 foods or even fewer. Such a deficient diet can mean they’re not getting the fibre and vegetables they need, which could be a health problem. They study also suggests picky eaters may also be experiencing other challenges such as social phobias (恐惧症), including around eating. The social phobia is the fear of being judged by others during everyday activities, often resulting in fear or embarrassment. For the study, researchers surveyed 488 Midwestern college students. About 40% of the students were identified as picky eaters. And about 65% of those respondents said they ate fewer than 10 foods. “We asked participants to just tell us what challenges around picky eating might have had or any benefits they might see, and people answered differently in terms of what has an effect on them,” said co-author Lauren Dial, a doctoral student at Bowling Green State at the time of the study.Many indicated they’d eat less or not at all outside the home. One 19-year-old man said he’d drink water half the time “due to my picky eating”, according to the study. Another 18-year-old said, “Sometimes there are some awkward comments when I am eating with my girlfriend and her family.” A 23-year-old woman said her parents would get frustrated at her refusal to try the foods she was served. “Picky eating does have a lot to do with the presentation of foods (how they’re presented on a plate), and the texture (口感) of foods (is it a consistent texture),” Dial Said, “but there’s also fear of trying new foods and that might play into picky eating.” By learning more about picky eating in adults, the researchers said they may be able to determine how best to intervene (干预) before the problem becomes more severe for some people. 1.What can best replace the underlined word “deficient” in paragraph 1? A.Limited. B.Low-fat. C.Balanced. D.High-fibre. 2.What were the participants asked to do during the research? A.Record how often they eat out. B.Ignore what influences their eating. C.Express how picky eating affects them. D.Count how many kinds of foods they prefer. 3.How does the author mainly develop paragraph 3? A.By presenting data. B.By providing examples. C.By following time order. D.By making comparisons. 4.What can be inferred about picky eating the last paragraph? A.It has something to do with family traditions. B.It can be easily cured by researchers. C.It often comes along with serious mental illnesses. D.It can have both physical and mental reasons. (2022·河南省叶县高级中学模拟预测)Chang’e-5 returned to Earth on December 16, 2020, carrying around 2 kilograms of rocks and soils from the moon. The successful mission (任务) marks a big step forward for China’s space industry. “These samples will be a treasure chest!” Brad Jolliff, director of the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences at Washington University, wrote in an email, “My hat is off to our Chinese colleagues for accomplishing a very difficult task.” The newly collected rocks come from a place close to the Mons Rumker that was believed to have been volcanic in ancient times. By comparison, the age of these samples are thought to be billions of yearsyounger than those brought to Earth by Apollo astronauts in the 1970s. They will help scientists fill in a gap in knowledge about the history of the moon between roughly one billion and three billion years ago. They may also help scientists study the useful materials on the moon. Chang’e-5 is the third phase of the Chinese lunar exploration project started in the early 2000s. Orbiters Chang’e-1 and 2 and the landing and roving missions Chang’e-3 and 4 marked the first two stages. Chang’e-5 mission is much more challenging than previous missions. New challenges include the sampling and following stages. “We usually completed the rocket launching (发射) on the earth at a fixed point. We have a proven technique in this field. But we still have difficulties in the liftoff of a lunar lander. We have never tried this before,” said Yu Dengyun, deputy chief designer of China’s lunar exploration program. The success of Chang’e-5 sample return mission has shown that China is able to carry out its plan to build a long-term crewed International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) in the lunar south pole region during 2036~2045. Success of Chang’e-5 will also see Chang’e-6 repurposed for a landing at the lunar south pole around 2023. Chang’e-6 is a sample return spacecraft engineered at the same time as Chang’e-5 to provide a backup in the event of failure. 5.Why is Brad Jolliff so excited about the lunar samples returned by Chang’e-5? A.They are collected for the first time. B.They are from a live volcano. C.They will provide more valuable data. D.They are billions of years older. 6.What can be inferred from paragraph 5? A.China has overcome the difficulties in building ILRS. B.Yu was worried about Chang’e-5 sample return mission. C.China is ready for more challenging lunar explorations. D.The 2036~2045 mission will be much more challenging. 7.Which spacecraft is very similar to Chang’e-5? A.Chang’e-2. B.Chang’e-3. C.Chang’e-4. D.Chang’e-6. 8.What is the best title for the text? A.China’s Great Win Over the United States B.China’s Lunar Explorations in Twenty Years C.Future Exploration Programs for Chang’e Spacecrafts D.Chang’e-5 Lunar Sample Return Mission Accomplished(2022·安徽·芜湖一中一模)Icehouse and ice ticket As early as Pre-Qin Dynasty, people used natural ice to keep food fresh and make cold drinks. The Zhou royal court had a specialized department called “ice administration”. They collected natural ice blocks each December to store in the icehouse. During the Qing Dynasty, “ice tickets” were used and they were available only to officials and the rich. Ice container The most commonly used cooling tool is called “Jian”, which is a big container filled with ice. It was made of clay in early Chinese history, and was later made of copper (铜). The “Jian” can be seen as an ancient refrigerator, which can be used to make cold drinks. Hiding food in the well During the Qin and Han dynasties, for common people, the most common way to cool off is by using their wells. Some families put a pot in the well as a cold closet, or put food in a basket and lowered the basket into the well with a rope. Herbal drinks During the Qing Dynasty, taking Chinese herbal medicine was popular in Beijing. In hot summer, some people preferred to drink ice water, some boiled perilla leaves, and liquorice as summer soup to keep off the heat. Ancient people also loved to make lotus seed soup in summer for the benefit of strengthening the body. 9.What does “Jian” have the same function as? A.Container. B.Refrigerator. C.Clay. D.Copper. 10.Which of the following is unavailable to common people? A.Ice tickets. B.Ice container. C.Hiding food in the well. D.Herbal drinks. 11.What’s the common purpose of the above four ways? A.To strengthen the body. B.To keep food fresh. C.To escape the summer heat. D.To make cold drinks. (2022·江西南昌·模拟预测)During COVID’s first wave, the streets of New York and other major cities became empty. The sound of cars decreased, but urban citizens heard something new: an abundance of birdsong. During walks outside, they breathed cleaner air. Lockdowns had meant fewer cars on the roads, and the effects were unmissable. Levels of nitrogen dioxide-a by-product of fossil fuels burned in cars and in electricity generation—were 30 percent lower along the road from Washington D.C.toBoston in March 2020 compared with previous years. Summer coming, people sat at outdoor extensions of restaurants built in parking zones and moved around on newly added bike lanes. These incidental adaptations to the pandemic allowed citizens to experience the benefits of moving away from the “car is king“ situation in a way that policies for climate-friendly equipment never could, explains Christian Brand, an environmental scientist with the Transport Studies Unit at the University of Oxford. Now, he says, “they know what’s possible.” Some fought to keep it that way. Paris has been a leader of this conversion. The French capital already had plans to press down car use and encourage cycling before COVID appeared, but in late spring 2020 some 50 kilometers of pop-up bike lanes, called coronapistes, were added almost overnight. They are now a permanent part of Paris’s cycling network, with more in the works. These measures, Brand says, came in no small part because of political will. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo made climate change a focus of her reelection campaign. Besides providing subsidies(补贴)for purchasing and repairing bicycles, she emphasized the health benefits of reducing car emissions. In other cities, like New York, changes were more modest or temporary. Shutdowns may have presented the possibility of safer, healthier streets-but it was often a fleeting(飞逝的)vision. 16.What happened during COVID’s first wave? A.Most people were infected with the virus: B.City environment became better. C.People drove cars instead of walking outside. D.People no longer went to restaurants. 17.What does the underlined word “conversion” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Condition. B.Competition. C.Change. D.Struggle. 18.What did Anne Hidalgo pay special attention to? A.Protecting citizens’ safety. B.Fighting the pandemic. C.Measuring people’s political will. D.Dealing with climate issues. 19.What can be a suitable title for this text? A.The Pandemic Led to Greener Cities Unexpectedly B.More and More Bicycles Ended ”Car Is King“ Time C.Political Leaders Took Measures to Reduce PollutionD.Covid-19 Brought Benefits to People’s Health (2022·黑龙江·哈九中三模)After winning the bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, China has been striving to hold a high-tech Winter Games. Now, as the games are approaching, the viewers can learn how innovative technologies are being used, especially in the construction of venues. For example, how the National Aquatics Center, also known as the “Water Cube”, was turned into the “Ice Cube”. The main change is to turn the four-lane swimming pool into a curling rink (冰场). According to Xinhua, the “transformation” will be completed by using a quick-disassembly (快速拆除的) system. Simply put, the water will be drained (抽干) from the pool and then a convertible (可移动的) frame will be built and put inside. The frame is made up of 2,600 H-shape steel columns and has a height of three meters and a length of two meters, China News Service reported. Another major technology applied can be seen at the National Speed Skating Oval (NSSO) , known as the “Ice Ribbon”. Traditionally, freon, which harms the ozone layer, was used in the ice-making process. But NSSO adopts an environmentally friendly technology, which uses carbon dioxide to make ice. For another new venue, the National Sliding Center, the design team was confronted with a tricky problem. The center features a 1.9m sliding track. The center is located on the southern slope of Xiaohaituo Mountain in Yanqing. The sunlight in the southern slope is stronger than that in the northern slope. What’s more the Yanqing competition zone has complex terrain (地形) and strong wind,” Li Bo, a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, told CGTN. “Wind resistance is the key to the construction of buildings,” Li added. So they studied the wind filed date in the zone, analyzed the sun’s height in different seasons, and used computer models to simulate (模拟) and determine the awning (遮阳篷) coverage on the track. Finally, the team developed a system combining the terrain and awning to reduce the impact of solar radiation. 27.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “striving” in paragraph 1______? A.fighting bravely B.criticizing severely C.working hard D.thinking highly 28.What can learn about the frame used to transform the “Water Cube” into the “Ice Cube”. A.It is as long as three meters. B.It is in the shape of letter A. C.It can be taken apart easily. D.It can turn water into ice automatically. 29.What is the benefit of the technology used to build the National Sliding Center? A.It can cut carbon emissions significantly. B.It can absorb harmful chemicals freon releases.C.It helps athletes quickly familiarize themselves with the complex terrain. D.It can reduce the impact of strong wind and solar radiation. 30.What is the text mainly about? A.A comparison of some Beijing Winter Olympic venues. B.Technologies used to build the Beijing Winter Olympic venues. C.China’s mission of holding the Beijing Winter Olympics. D.The difficulties of venue transformation for the Beijing Winter Olympics. (2022·陕西·模拟预测)A new test for COVID-19 is coming to store shelves throughout the U.S. This is the first test for the disease that you can do at home. It does not need a prescription, or doctor’s approval, to use. Currently, the U.S. is testing nearly 2 million people daily, and most health experts agree the country needs to be testing many more people than that. Most tests still require a nasal swab (鼻拭子) performed by a health professional, followed by processing at a laboratory. That typically means you have to wait days for the test results. For months, health experts have stressed the need for fast, widespread home testing, which allows people to screen themselves and avoid contact with others if they have an infection. With this new home test, people can “swab their nose, run the test and find out their results in as little as 20 minutes,” said FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn. The test kit includes a small tool to help you to take nasal swab, or sample from inside your nose. Once you swab your nostril (鼻孔) you place the swab onto a small cartridge. This cartridge analyzes the sample and sends the results to an app on your smartphone. The app displays the results and then helps you interpret them. Users can also connect with a health professional through the app. Ellume’s test works differently than other tests. Most tests look for the genetic material of the virus. This is the material that hakes up its genes, which influence how the virus looks and acts. However, Ellume’s test looks for proteins that the virus sheds (散发). These viral proteins are large molecules that can trigger a response from your immune system, which is the collection of cells and their responses that help the body fight off infections. Like other COVID-19 tests that look for proteins, Ellume’s test still has a shall chance of errors. FDA officials say that people who get a negative result but still have coronavirus symptoms should follow up with a doctor.Although the price of the test could prevent some people from using it, Dr. Michael Mina, a professor at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, called the new test “a great addition” to existing options. 31.What is the problem with current testing in the U.S.? A.It is not efficient enough. B.It leads to poor management. C.It based on nasal swabs. D.It results in outbreak of virus. 32.What is the right procedure for home testing? a. analyze the sample b. send the result to an app c. take a nasal swab d. place the swab on a cartridge e. interpret the result A.cadbe. B.cdabe. C.dcbae. D.dcabe. 33.What is a negative factor of the new test? A.It’s unaffordable for some people. B.It has a great chance of errors. C.It’s an addition to existing options. D.It causes people to get infected. 34.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.Smartphone apps for analysis. B.A tool for taking Nasal swab. C.More options for recovering. D.Home test for COVID-19. (2022·陕西宝鸡·二模)Although the weather is very hot now, the carnival of ice and snow is getting closer. The preparation work for Beijing Winter Olympic Games, which are expected to begin on Feb 4, 2022, has entered its final stage. In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the Ice Ribbon, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed. In the Winter Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small-time gap, tiny imperfections in the ice can make a big difference. “It’s not just a hunk of ice like you’d normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,” told Kenneth Golden, a US mathematician who studies the structures of ice. “It’s a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think.”The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don’t fit in the regular hexagonal (六边形的) structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water is, the more consistent the ice surface. In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very important. As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a carbon dioxide (CO2) cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO is not 2 new when it comes to ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant (制冷剂) like Freon. With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO doesn’t damage the ozone layer. Although CO is a greenhouse gas, its 2 2 greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other man-made refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions 2 greatly. “We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way,” told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. 39.What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making? A.The water isn’t able to freeze completely. B.The quality of the ice will be affected. C.The ice surface will be more consistent. D.It’s likely for athletes to fall on the ice. 40.Why has CO cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games? 2 A.It’s the most advanced technologies for ice-making. B.CO is more efficient than other refrigerants. 2 C.CO is more environmentally-friendly than Freon. 2 D.CO has already existed in the atmosphere. 2 41.What is Gao’s attitude to CO being applied to ice-making? 2 A.Unclear. B.Opposed. C.Doubtful. D.Favourable. 42.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Is Coming.B.Beneath Olympic Ice. C.The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games. D.The Structure of Ice. 议论文 (2022·安徽·合肥市第八中学模拟预测)We are a culture drowning in our possessions. We take in more and more ( holiday, birthdays, sales, needs ),but rarely find an opportunity to get rid of it. As a result, our homes fill up with so much stuff. And because we believe the best solution is to find organizational tools to manage all of it, we seek out bigger containers or more efficient organizational tips and tricks. But simply organizing our stuff must be repeated over and over. At its heart, organizing is simply rearranging. And though we may find storage solutions today, we are quickly forced to find new ones as early as tomorrow. Additionally, organizing has some other major shortcomings that are rarely considered. For example, it doesn’t benefit anyone else. The possessions we rarely use sit on shelves in our basements or garages, even while some of our closest friends desperately need them. On the other hand, the act of getting rid of stuff from our home accomplishes many purposes. It is not a temporary solution. It is an action of permanence — once an item has been removed, it is removed completely. Whether we re-sell our possessions, donate them to charity, or give them to a friend, they are immediately put to use by those who need them. Removing possessions begins to turn back our desire for more as we find freedom and happiness in owning less. And removing ourselves from the all-consuming desire to own more creates opportunities for significant life changes to take place. If you’re struggling with how to get rid of stuff, you can first challenge yourself to remove the unneeded things in your home, carry a trash bag from room-to-room, see how big of a donation pile you can make, and even eliminate debt by selling what you no longer need. It doesn’t matter how you remove them, for it is far better to remove than to always organize. 12.What is the problem with simply organizing stuff? A.Few tools and tricks are available. B.It needs to be repeated very often. C.People cannot save money by organizing. D.Desire to buy more disappears by organizing.13.How can we remove unnecessary possessions? A.By reselling them to others. B.By keeping them in trash bags. C.By storing them in the garage. D.By piling them on the shelves. 14.What does the underlined word “eliminate” mean in Paragraph 5? A.get rid of B.get over C.add to D.take charge of 15.What is the purpose of the passage? A.To explain the advantages and disadvantages of organizing things. B.To inform readers of the ways to get rid of unnecessary possessions. C.To call for people to remove stuff instead of just organizing. D.To appeal to people to make donations to people in need.
