- 1 - 惠州市 2020 届高三模拟考试 英语试题 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。 A New to Hindi language cinema? We’ve got you covered! Dhaliwal has created a list of the best Bollywood movies for beginners. Mughal-e-Azam (1960) Mughal-e-Azam tells the tale of a Mughal prince’s romance with a court dancer. The film’s dialogue, music, and the breathtaking chemistry of the leading couple have been buried in the minds of generations. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) Nothing could possibly go wrong given Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’s winning blend: an all-star cast, super-hit music, and to top it all, an excellent script. If you were to watch only one Indian film to get an idea of what most of us go to the movies for, let it be this one. Lagaan (2001) Bringing together the top three things that Indians absolutely love – the sport of cricket, superstar Aamir Khan and patriotism (爱国主义) – Lagaan is nothing short of great. The story focuses on an Indian village standing up by challenging the British to a cricket match. It’s no wonder that it’s one of the only three Bollywood movies to have ever been nominated (提名) for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars. Wake Up Sid (2009) The reason why Wake Up Sid is well-received is the simplicity with which it explores the modern relationships of urban youth. At the core of the story is a sweet, heartfelt romance between a girl struggling to find her place in a new city and a boy trying to find himself. There’s also a gentle underlying romance with the remarkable city – Mumbai. 1. Which film can best present the charm of films to the audience? - 2 - A. Lagaan B. Wake Up Sid C. Mughal-e-Azam D. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge 2. Dhaliwal speaks highly of the movie Lagaan because it ___________.

Lagaan（2001 年）把 印度人绝对喜欢的前三件事-板球运动、超级明星 Aamir Khan 和爱国主义-汇集在一起，Lagaan 是最棒的。 由此可知，Dhaliwa 高度评价了 Lagaan 这部电影，是因为这部电影反映了印度人 最看重的东西，故选 C。 - 3 - 【3 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章 Mughal-e-Azam (1960)中描述 Mughal-e-Azam tells the tale of a Mughal prince’s romance with a court dancer. Mughal-e- azam 讲述了一位莫卧儿王子 与一位宫廷舞蹈演员的浪漫故事。Wake Up Sid (2009)中描述 At the core of the story is a sweet, heartfelt romance between a girl struggling to find her place in a new city and a boy trying to find himself. 故事的核心是一个努力在新城市找到自己位置的女孩 和一个努力寻找自我的男孩之间甜蜜而感人的爱情。所以这两部电影的共同之处就是都是和 爱情有关的故事，故选 B。 【点睛】应用文多是细节理解题。一般定位关键词适用于解答细节理解题。通过定位关键词 解题，考生在阅读题干时，把题干中有标记意义的词或词组划记出来，或者选项中的关键词， 然后用这个词回到原文当中定位。如小题 2 题干中的 Lagaan，定位回原文中去，可以帮助快 速找出答案。 B Born in Shanghai in 1981, Yang Ji studied accounting in college before becoming a civil servant in 2005, fulfilling his parents’ wishes of him securing a stable job. But he only lasted a year in that role. “I’ve loved animals since I was a child. I raised many animals, such as goldfish, turtles and pigeons during my school years,” he says. “Raising animals was my hobby and my dream.” Yang made a career switch in 2006, and started working at a chicken farm to learn about breeding (培育) birds. “The first five years were very difficult for me. I made many mistakes along the way, but I also learned a lot,” he says. “For example, there are huge differences between raising a chicken and a swan.” He shared that the first swans he bought eventually became crippled (瘸的), and some even died, even though he went to great lengths to feed them good food and ensure that their pens were warm. But after consulting with experienced experts, he learned that the animals just needed to eat grass. In addition, the swans should not have been cooped up in their pens but let out to exercise in the cold water. He then went to learn more about the trade with experienced bird keepers and experts from zoos, working alongside them for days and observing how they raised the - 4 - animals. In 2011, Yang bought a small, deserted zoo and renovated (改造) it for his rare-bird breeding center. In 2014, he received his license to breed first-tier protected animals from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. He has since introduced several endangered birds to his center. “They’re all native species in China and I’ve succeeded in breeding and raising their babies,” he says. His breeding center, which supplies birds to zoos around China, isn’t all about profit. Yang says that he is planning to release some endangered birds to help grow the population in the wild. “I am passionate with my work and never feel exhausted,” he says. “Living with the birds and seeing them every day makes me a happy man.” 4. Yang Ji started working at a chicken farm because ___________. A. he loved raising chickens B. he wanted to learn bird raising C. chickens were much easier to raise D. he had a preference for small animals 5. What mistake did Yang Ji make when he first started breeding swans? A. He fed wrong food to the swans. B. He didn’t keep the swans warm. C. He bought some crippled swans. D. He let the swans swim in cold water. 6. What do we know about Yang Ji’s breeding center? A. It was rebuilt on an open grassland. B. It has kept all kinds of endangered animals since 2014. C. It intends to increase the number of some endangered birds by setting them free. D. It aims at making money out of supplying endangered birds to zoos all over China. 7. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. Yang Ji and His Birds B. From Chickens to Swans C. A Successful Career Switch - 5 - D. Flying High with His Dreams 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了 80 后上海青年 Yang Ji，因为梦想辞去公务员工作通过努力 学习，他创办了稀有鸟类饲养中心，他对这项工作充满了热情，让他成为一个快乐的人。 【4 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第 6 段“Yang made a career switch in 2006, and started working at a chicken farm to learn about breeding (培育) birds.”可知，Yang 为了学习培育鸟 类在鸡场工作。故选 B 选项。 【5 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第 2 段“But after consulting with experienced experts, he learned that the animals just needed to eat grass. In addition, the swans should not have been cooped up in their pens but let out to exercise in the cold water.”可知，但 在咨询了有经验的专家后，他了解到这些动物只需要吃草。此外，天鹅不应该被关在围栏里， 而应该被放出来在冷水中锻炼。所以因为错误喂养方式，导致了大部分的大鹅瘸腿甚至死亡。 故选 A 选项。 【6 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“His breeding center, which supplies birds to zoos around China, isn’t all about profit. Yang says that he is planning to release some endangered birds to help grow the population in the wild.”可知，Yang 的稀有鸟类培 育中心不是为了利益，更多的是想要通过放生濒危鸟类来提高野生鸟类的数量。故选 C 选项。 【7 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第 1 段“Raising animals was my hobby and my dream.（饲养动物 是他的爱好和梦想）”，第 2 段“Yang made a career switch in 2006, and started working at a chicken farm to learn about breeding (培育) birds.（2006 年他辞职开始在鸡场学 习培育鸟类）”，第 6 段“In 2011, Yang bought a small, deserted zoo and renovated (改 造) it for his rare-bird breeding center.（2011 年 Yang 创办了稀有鸟类培育中心）” 及最后一段“I am passionate with my work and never feel exhausted,” he says. “Living with the birds and seeing them every day makes me a happy man.（和鸟类一起生活让 - 6 - 他成为快乐的人）”，可知，Yang 一步步的将自己的梦想变为现实，让自己变成快乐的人。 所以短文的最佳标题为“带着梦想高飞”。故选 D 选项。 【点睛】标题归纳题能够概括整篇文章的主要内容，抓住文章讨论的中心，把握作者的观点 和意图，点明文章的主题。标题可以是单词、短语、也可以是句子。解答标题归纳题时，我 们可以采用一下“精、准、全、新”的策略。精，即语言精练，能概括出文章的中心思想。 准，即要注意文章的内涵和外延，把作者的观点准确的表达出来。全，即要排除掉那些片面 的选项，选取包含文章的主要内容及作者观点的选项，范围不易过大或过小。新，即所选择 的标题要新颖，对读者有吸引力，能激发读者的阅读兴趣。如本文中的第 4 小题，根据文章 第 1 段“Raising animals was my hobby and my dream.（饲养动物是他的爱好和梦想）”， 第 2 段“Yang made a career switch in 2006, and started working at a chicken farm to learn about breeding (培育) birds. （ 2006 年他辞职开始在鸡场学习培育鸟类）”，第 6 段“In 2011, Yang bought a small, deserted zoo and renovated ( 改造 ) it for his rare-bird breeding center.（2011 年 Yang 创办了稀有鸟类培育中心）”及最后一段“ I am passionate with my work and never feel exhausted,” he says. “Living with the birds and seeing them every day makes me a happy man.（和鸟类一起生活让他成为快乐的人）”， 可知，Yang 一步步的将自己的梦想变为现实，让自己变成快乐的人。所以短文的最佳标题为 “带着梦想高飞”。故选 D 选项。 C The coronavirus（冠状病毒）outbreak has sparked panic buying of toilet paper and cleaning products in countries across the world, but one UK businessman is determined to spread some happiness among the anxiety and confusion. Rob Braddick, 48, who owns Braddick’s Holiday Park in Westward Ho, Devon, in the southwest of England, has filled the toy grabber machines in his amusement park with two of the country’s most sought-after cleaning products. Customers could previously try their hand at grabbing “Frozen 2” or “Peter Rabbit” toys from the machines, but no more. “They got removed this morning,” Braddick said of the toys, replacing them with toilet roll and hand sanitizer (洗 手液). Visitors can now pay 50p for three goes on the toilet roll grabber, or ?1 a go for Carex, which Braddick described as the “Rolls- Royce of hand sanitizers.” Braddick said that his decision was born of a desire to make people feel less - 7 - stressed in uncertain times. “It’s a bit of light relief with everything that’s going on,” he said. “Hopefully it will raise a smile, which I think everybody needs.” Around the world, travel plans have been severely affected, and tens of millions of people remain at home as part of global efforts to fight against coronavirus. Supermarkets have seen shortages of toilet paper and hand sanitizer as anxious consumers stockpile the products. Braddick said the family business, which has been running since 1932, has received more than a dozen calls from potential customers who say they don’t want to travel abroad for their holidays and would rather stay in the UK. As for his own measures against coronavirus, Braddick said staff have been told to wash their hands every half hour, which is particularly important for those handling money. 8.

Prizes of the game. C. New practice of the game. D. People’s love for grabbing toys. 10. What’s the purpose of Braddick’s new idea? A. To make higher profits. B. To ease people’s anxiety. C. To support his family business. D. To attract more people to play the game. 11. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Tourism may fall into a decline. B. Braddick’s business is experiencing a hard time. C. Cleaning products will be in shortage for a long time. D. Everyone in the park is told to wash their hands every half hour. - 8 - 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述新冠肺炎的爆发引发了全世界购买厕纸和清洁用品的恐慌。 一位英国商人 Rob Braddick 决定将其旗下的公园里的抓娃娃机里的玩偶替换成厕纸和清洁用 品，借此鼓舞人心。 【8 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第 1 段中“The coronavirus（冠状病毒）outbreak has sparked panic buying of toilet paper and cleaning products in countries across the world（冠状 病毒的爆发引起了全世界购买厕所用纸和清洁产品的恐慌））”可知，现在清洁产品是受欢迎 的。故 C 选项切题。 【9 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文中第 3 段中“Braddick said of the toys, replacing them with toilet roll and hand sanitizer (洗手液).” Braddick 开始施行把娃娃机里的玩偶换成了厕纸和 洗手液。所以第三段是关于游戏的新规则。故 C 选项切题。 【10 题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第 4 段“It’s a bit of light relief with everything that’s going on,” he said. “Hopefully it will raise a smile, which I think everybody needs.” 可知，他说: “对于目前发生所做的一切，对大家来说都一种轻松的解脱，希望能让大家开 怀一笑，我觉得每个人都需要这样。由此判断出 Braddick 新想法的目的是缓解人们的焦虑。 故 B 选项切题。 【11 题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第 5 段“Around the world, travel plans have been severely affected, and tens of millions of people remain at home as part of global efforts to fight against coronavirus.（全球各地民众的旅行计划被打乱，为了抗击新冠肺炎，数万人扔处于隔离状 态）”可知，旅游业受损。故 A 选项切题。 【点睛】推理判断题是指在理解原文字面意思的基础上，通过对语篇逻辑关系的分析和细节 的暗示，做出一定的判断和推理，从而得到文章的深层意义和隐含意义的过程。目的、意图、 态度的推断就属于推理判断的一部分，根据文章的论述，推断作者的写作目的以及作者的情 感态度。如第 4 小题，该问题是判断作者的写作目的，根据文章第 5 段“Around the world, - 9 - travel plans have been severely affected, and tens of millions of people remain at home as part of global efforts to fight against coronavirus.（全球各地民众的旅行 计划被打乱，为了抗击新冠肺炎，数万人扔处于隔离状态）”可知，旅游业受损。故 A 选项 切题。 D Elon Musk has expressed his company – Neuralink is close to announcing the first brain-machine interface (接口) to connect humans and computers. Musk told followers in Twitter the technology would be “coming soon” – though he failed to provide details. Neuralink was set up in 2016 with the ambitious goal of developing hardware to strengthen the human brain. However, little about how this will work has been made public. Neuralink describes the interface as an extremely high-speed connection between the human brain and computers. Musk has frequently claimed the rapid rise of artificial intelligence poses an existential risk to humanity. Such an interface, he says, is essential if humans are to compete with such technology in the future. At a technology conference in 2016, Mr Musk said humans risked being treated like house pets by AI machines if a brain-computer interface was not built. Last year on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Musk said Neuralink’s technology would allow humans to “effectively combine with AI”. A paper published in Nature Nanotechnology in 2015 described a concept for this connection, explaining how a flexible circuit (回路) could be injected into a living brain. “We’re trying to lessen the distinction between electronic circuits and neural circuits,” said Harvard researcher Charles Lieber, who co-authored the study. Despite the technology’s potential to increase the human brain, experts have warned that brain-computer interfaces risk being controlled by vicious (恶意的) artificial intelligence. Such an action could lead to AI controlling the thoughts, decisions and emotions of a person using a brain-computer link. “Technological developments mean that we are on a path to a world in which it will be possible to discover people’s mental - 10 - processes and directly operate the brain mechanisms underlying their intentions, emotions and decision,” stated a Nature comment piece written by 27 scientists and machine intelligence engineers. “The possible medical and social benefits in it are vast. But we must guide their development in a way that respects, protects and enables what is best in humanity.” 12. What message did Musk convey about his Neuralink? A. It sells brain-machine interfaces. B. It offers rich data about interfaces. C. It has followers to connect humans and computers. D. Its new technology will be accessible to the public soon . 13. What can we know from Paragraph Two? A. Neuralink aims to know the human brain better. B. How the hardware functions is already known. C. The brain-machine interface was invented in 2016. D. The interface is expected to link the human brain and computers rapidly. 14. According to Musk, why are brain-machine interfaces important? A. Because they may treat human like house pets. B. Because they may make AI serve human better. C. Because they build neural circuits in human brains. D. Because they rapidly develop artificial intelligence. 15. What is the attitude of Nature to brain-machine interfaces? A. Objective B. Favorable C. Opposed D. Indifferent 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章从 Neutrallink 这家公司宣称的即将实现的“人脑-计算机接口”技术 引入，讲述了这一技术可以带来的益处和弊端。 【12 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Elon Musk has expressed his company – Neuralink is close - 11 - to announcing the first brain-machine interface (接口) to connect humans and computers. Musk told followers in Twitter the technology would be “coming soon””可知，Musk 表示自己的公司 Neutrallink 将要宣布史上首个人机接口，并且这项技术“即将实现”，也 就是宣称一项新技术即将面向公众。故选 D 项。 【13 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Neuralink describes the interface as an extremely high-speed connection between the human brain and computers.”可知，公司声称这一 接口可以实现人脑和计算机之间的高速连接。故选 D 项。 【14 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Such an interface, he says, is essential if humans are to compete with such technology in the future.”和最后一句“Last year on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Musk said Neuralink’s technology would allow humans to “effectively combine with AI”.”可知，在 Musk 看来，未来人工智能的发展可能对人类 构成潜在的威胁，通过这样的接口技术就能使人与人工智能“更好地协作”，B 选项“因为这 能让人工智能更好地服务人类”符合文意。故选 B 项。 【15 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中引述《自然》的评述“The possible medical and social benefits in it are vast. But we must guide their development in a way that respects, protects and enables what is best in humanity.”可知，《自然》杂志既关注到了接口技术的巨大 益处，同时也提醒对这种技术必须正确引导，使其不与人性、伦理相悖，显然是站在比较客 观、中立的角度。故选 A 项。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 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。 Slow Walking and Ageing Getting old might not be something that’s yet to cross your mind. ___16___, so it’s something I’m sure we’d all like to control. That’s why scientists are constantly seeking out evidence that will show us what we need to do to achieve longevity. ___17___. To walk 10,000 steps a day or do three brisk 10-minute walks plays an effective role in our health. But the latest research might put a spring in your step - 12 - if you’re accustomed to walking at a fast pace. That’s because the speed at which people walk is a sign of how much their brains, as well as their bodies, are ageing. According to the result of those tested, slower walkers tended to show signs of “accelerated ageing”. Their lungs, teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those who walked faster.___18___. Professor Terrie E Moffitt, has proved that a slow walk is a problem sign decades before old age. This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower gait who might feel it’s time to work out and get fitter. But it might be too late; researchers predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence, language and motor skills tests from when they were aged three.___19___. So, what’s the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain? Well, researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age, and understanding what this might mean, could be a way of testing treatments to slow human ageing.___20___. Any steps we can take to prolong a good mental and physical state is a no brainer! A. Everyone wishes to keep young B. There are various ways to exercise C. We all know that regular exercise is good for us D. But ageing is unavoidably going to get the better of us one day E. This might help us make lifestyle changes while we’re still young and healthy F. In other words, some signs even in early life will show who will live younger and healthier G. To add insult to injury, the result also indicates the faces of slower walkers usually look older and they have smaller brains 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. G 19. F 20. E 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。人类一直致力于寻找延缓衰老，让生命更长寿的方法。科学家们有一项最 新的研究，这项研究称，人类在 40 岁之后走路的速度变慢是他们大脑和身体衰弱的标志，文 章讨论这个研究，走路速度较慢的人是不是应该加快步伐呢？ 【16 题详解】 - 13 - 下一句提到“所以我相信我们都希望能控制衰老”，呼应下文，D 选项“但总有一天，衰老会 不可避免地战胜我们。”切题。故选 D 项。 【17 题详解】 下一句提到“每天走一万步或是每天三次 10 分钟的快步，对健康有重要作用。”呼应下文， C 选项“我们都知道经常锻炼对我们有好处。”切题。故选 C 项。 【18 题详解】 下一句提到“特里·莫菲特教授证明，走路慢是人老前几十年就会出现的问题。”呼应下文， G 选项“更糟糕的是，研究发现，走得慢的人不仅身体衰老得更快，他们的脸看起来更老，他 们的大脑也更小。”切题。故选 G 项。 【19 题详解】 前文提到“研究者称，他们能够利用从三岁开始的智力、语言和运动技能测试结果，预测 45 岁人群的步行速度。”，呼应前文，F 选项“换句话说，甚至是早期生活中，也有迹象表明哪 些人会过上更健康的生活。”切题。故选 F 项。 【20 题详解】 前文提到“研究人员表示，在年轻时测量行走速度，并理解这可能意味着什么，可能是测试 延缓人类衰老治疗方法的一种方式。”呼应前文，E 选项“这可能会帮助我们在年轻健康的时 候改变生活方式。”切题。故选 E 项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C, D）中，选出可以填入空白处 的最佳 选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010.

We’d been looking forward to the beach all week, so you can imagine how disappointing we were when Dad announced, “Today will be a inside day because of the bad weather.” To cheer us, Mom brought out our favorite snacks and all kinds of fruit that he had prepared for the outing. “Why not to arrange a fruit platter?” Mom suggested. We cut the fruit into different shape. Though we didn’t have a clear picture of how it would look like, we simple enjoyed ourselves. We made necessary adjustments, carefully adding or replaced each piece, and finally made it a piece of art. 【答案】第一句：were→was 第二句：disappointing→disappointed a→an 第三句：us 后面加 up he→she 第四句：去掉 to 第五句：shape→shapes 第六句：how→what simple→simply 第七句：replaced→replacing 【解析】 【分析】 - 21 - 这是一篇记叙文。因为天气不好，作者一家计划好的海滩之行泡汤了。失望之时，妈妈提议 一起用为海滩之行准备的水果来做个水果拼盘，最后他们玩的很开心。 【详解】第一处：考查主谓一致。句意：我，还有我的父母和堂兄弟姐妹，计划过一个美妙 的海滩日。together with 连接两个主语时，由前面的主语决定谓语动词的数，此句中谓语动 词的单复数应由 I 决定，I 做主语谓语动词用单数，故将 were 改成 was。 第二处：考查形容词。句意：我们整个星期都在期待着去海滩，所以你可以想象，当爸爸宣 布“今天天气不好，不能外出”的时候，我们有多失望。disappointing 意为“令人失望的”， 一般修饰物；此处表示我们“感到失望的”应该用 disappointed，故将 disappointing 改成 disappointed。 第三处：考查冠词。句意：我们整个星期都在期待着去海滩，所以你可以想象，当爸爸宣布 “今天天气不好，不能外出”的时候，我们有多失望。day 为名词，此处泛指“呆在家里的一 天”，要用不定冠词，但是 day 前面有 inside 修饰，inside 为元音音素开头，前面应该用 an 而不是 a。故将 a 改成 an。 第四处：考查介词。句意：为了让我们高兴起来，妈妈拿出了她为这次外出准备的我们最爱 吃的零食和各种水果。此处是固定短语 cheer sb. up 意为“使某人高兴起来”,故在 us 后加 介词 up。 第五处：考查人称代词。句意：为了让我们高兴起来，妈妈拿出了她为这次外出准备的我们 最爱吃的零食和各种水果。这里的人称代词代指的是前文的 mom，应该用 she 而不是 he，故 将 he 改成 she。 第六处：考查固定句型。句意：“为什么不摆一个水果拼盘呢？”妈妈建议。why not 意思 是“为什么不呢”一般用在疑问句中，表示提建议， why not 后面要跟动词原型，所以这里 的介词 to 是多余的，故将 to 去掉。 第七处：考查名词单复数。句意：我们把水果切成不同的形状。shape 在此句中意为“形状”， 是可数名词，根据 different 可知，这里表达的是“不同的形状”，shape 要用其复数形式， 故将 shape 改成 shapes。 第八处：考查连词。句意：我们不清楚它会是什么样子，我们只是玩得很开心。分析可知， 句子 how it would look like 为宾语从句，句中缺 look like 的宾语而不是状语，应该用 what 而不是 how 引导这个从句，故将 how 改成 what。 第九处：考查副词。句意：我们不清楚它会是什么样子，我们只是玩得很开心。修饰动词 enjoy 应用副词，故将 simple 改成 simply。 - 22 - 第十处：考查现在分词。句意：我们做了必要的调整，仔细地加上或换掉每块水果，最终使 它成为一件艺术品。分析句子可知，replace 在句中做状语为非谓语，与逻辑主语 we 之间是 逻辑上的主谓关系，故要用其现在分词形式作状语，故将 replaced 改成 replacing。 【点睛】关于 why not 的用法。 1.why not 后一般只接动词原形，不能接带 to 不定式或现在分词。 2.要注意在一定的语境中，有时 why not 后可省略动词原形。如： —Let’s meet at the station. 我们在车站见面吧。 —Why not at the hotel? 在饭店不行吗？ 句中的 why not 后可视为省略了动词 wait。 3.此外 why not 后习惯上只接动词原形，不能接句子，也不能用“why didn’t+动词原 形”“why don’t+动词原形”这样的不伦不类的句子。 4. 按英语习惯，why not 结构只用于提出建议，不用于表示责备，即只用于指将来的情况， 而不用于指过去情况。 所以在“Why not to arrange a fruit platter?”这个句子中，why not 后面的介词 to 是 多余的，故将 to 去掉。 第一节 书面表达（满分 25 分） 52.假定你是李华，你的英国笔友 David 给你发了一封邮件，倾诉他因疫情居家进行线上学 习所遇到的烦恼，请你针对 David 的问题回复邮件。 Dear Li Hua, I have some problems. Due to the COVID-19, all of us now have to keep social distance and take online courses at home. I find it hard to constantly focus on studying. I feel tired easily. Worse still, I have become so anxious and short-tempered. I do want to change the situation, but I don’t know how. What should I do? Yours, David 注意：1. 词数 100 左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ - 23 - ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible Version 1 : Dear David, I am sorry to hear that you are now having trouble concentrating on your study and experiencing some emotional issues due to the long-time lockdown ( coronavirus restrictions ) . However, the situation can be changed if you take my advice as follows. First, you don’t have to worry too much as everyone is experiencing such uncertain times more or less like you . It is a good idea to talk to someone you trust about your feelings, which may bring you comfort . Second, do some physical exercise in doors whenever possible or help your parents with some housework, which, as psychologists (experts) suggest, is an effective way to get rid of anxiety and refresh yourself . Third, make a proper plan for your study with some practical online tools so that your learning goals can be achieved step by step . I hope my suggestions may help you out soon. Let’s look forward to the return of normal life . Yours, Li Hua Possible Version 2 : Dear David, I quite understand how depressed you feel living under lockdown orders. We don’t know when we can get back to the normal life, but we can do something to cheer ourselves up (lift our spirits). Online study is definitely different from studying at school. You’ll get distracted easily without face-to-face communication with teachers and classmates. That’s why you need to plan your time wisely and get yourself actively engaged in the online courses by taking notes or joining in the discussion column. Long-time focusing on the screen will cause tiredness, so you had better take some indoor activities to stretch yourself now and then. Believe me, even 10 minutes of workout - 24 - may make you relaxed. If you feel kind of lonely or stressed, you may either choose to chat with your friends online or turn to something that may calm yourself, like doing jigsaw puzzles, listening to music or learning to do some cooking. I hope my suggestions will help you out. Best wishes! Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【分析】 本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生给英国笔友 David 就因新型冠状病毒疫情居家线上学习 遇到的注意力不集中，易疲劳，情绪着急和易怒等烦恼回复邮件。 【详解】第一步：审题。 体裁：应用文 时态：根据提示，时态应为一般现在时为主。 要点：1 对笔友 David 的情况表示理解。 2 针对 David 不知道怎么解决邮件中提到的烦恼，提出建议。 3 表达希望有所帮助。 结构布局： 第一段，针对笔友 David 目前的情况表示理解，并给与鼓舞。 第二段，针对 David 邮件中提到的烦恼提出建议： 1、线上学习不集中：可以多和老师，学生互动讨论 2 、易疲劳：规定休息时间并做些室内运动 3、 情绪着急和易怒：多和家人，朋友沟通倾诉，听音乐或做家务。 第三段，希望所提出的建议有所帮助。 第二步：列重点词语，词组（注意好词的使用）如：under lockdown, confused, assure, get back to, normal, cheer up, distraction, lead to, concentration on, participate, tiredness, regular, indoor sports 等 第三步：连词成句（注意好句型的使用，如非谓语动词，复合句，注意拼写和时态问题） 如：Hearing that you are also living under lockdown and have to take online courses due to the COVID-19, I quite understand how greatly confused you feel after taking the same experience as you last few months 等 - 25 - 第四步：连句成篇（注意衔接词的使用） 1.表文章结构顺序：First of all, Firstly/First, Secondly/Second…, Finally, In the end, At last; 2.表并列补充关系：What is more, Besides, Moreover, Furthermore, In addition, As well as, not only…but (also); 3.表因果关系：Because, As, So, Thus, Therefore, As a result 连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡。 第五步：润色修改。 【点睛】内容完整，要点齐全，语言规范，词数适当，连贯性强,段落分布合理。作者较多的 使用复合句句式，如 I quite understand how depressed you feel living under lockdown orders.
