Our school was located in the downtown area of a large city. There wasn’t 36 of a backyard. 37 , it was a our garden, stone-covered dirt parking lot with no extra space. However, we carefully 38 taking into account the area that received the best sunshine.‎ The three of us 39 the headmaster with our plan for a small area to plant some squash, tomatoes and cucumbers. The only real 40 involved was to rent a rake(耙), a pickax(丁字镐), and a hoe(锄头). However, 41 the headmaster’s permission would still be difficult. We will never forget his 42 to our request. With a slightly bored tilting (偏斜) of his head, he 43 replied, “ You are wasting your time. Nothing will ever grow there! But go ahead 44 you still want to.” ‎ We had received permission 45 ! So what if it wasn’t enthusiastic? We rented tools, raked four inches of stones into neat walls 46 the garden, raised the pickax and 47 what must have been a former waste area. A gardener dream—dark, rich soil just sitting there 48 to be discovered. We looked at each other, repeating together: “Ah, nothing will grow there.” As you might have 49 by now, things did grow there in our garden. ‎ Have you ever 50 that way about your life—Nothing will grow there… Have you felt 51 about your life’s progress? Worried about crop failure? Disappointed that nothing good ever seems to 52 ? Don’t believe that “Nothing will grow there”. It’s never too 53 to be who you might have been.

While responding to the current epidemic is critical, we also have an opportunity to learn lessons to prevent the next global health catastrophe, create partnerships across borders and disciplines, and demonstrate our commitment to value all 18‎ ‎ ‎ human lives. ‎ This four-week course provides the context in which to understand the Ebola outbreak—why now, and why did so many people suffer and die? The course lays out the global governance structure —what was the global response supposed to look like, and where did it fail?‎ The course will feature experts and scholars who will focus on cultivating a better understanding of the Ebola epidemic and implications for future health systems to ensure that the world is more effective in preventing the next epidemic.‎ ‎56. What can we learn from the text?‎ A. Learners will learn to attend patients with epidemic effectively.‎ B. Learners should pay extra fee to gain a verified certificate.‎ C. Learners should spend no more than 10 hours during the whole course.‎ D. Learners will follow a fixed schedule and should be good at English.‎ ‎57. The course is designed to _________.‎ A. prevent the next pandemic B. understand the 2014 Ebola C. improve health systems D. provide academic support B Choosing a name for a child is often a headache for parents, but new research shows that picking well could be more crucial than previously thought.‎ Academics have found that your first name actually changes the way you look. For example, someone called ‘Bob’ is expected by society to have a rounder and happier face than a man called ‘Tim’. That expectation eventually leads ‘Bobs’ to become more social, while ‘Tims’ may appear thinner and reserved. The connection may be linked to the “bouba-kiki” effect which suggests that across languages, rounder and smoother objects are labelled with rounded ‘bouba’ sounds, while thinner pointed objects have ‘kik’ sounds. Likewise ‘Winstons’ are believed to be feeling blue, while ‘Marys’ are considered to be moral, both traits which may change appearance, and over time, change face shape. And a woman named ‘Katherine’ is considered to be more serious and dependable than a girl named ‘Bonnie’. Such cultural expectations may encourage ‘Katherines’ to be more studious and academic, which could gradually influence the development of facial muscles, perhaps through increased concentration.‎ ‎“Prior researches have shown there are cultural stereotypes attached to names, including how someone should look,” said lead author Dr Yonat Zwebner, of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. “For instance, people are more likely to imagine a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a person named Tim. We believe these stereotypes can, over time, affect people’s facial appearance.”‎ 18‎ ‎ ‎ To find out if face shape was linked to name, researchers conducted eight studies to see whether it was possible for strangers to correctly identify the names of people simply by looking at their faces. In every experiment, the participants were significantly better (up to 40 percent accurate) at matching the name to the face than random chance (20-25 percent accurate) even when nationality, age and other socioeconomic variables were controlled for. “Together, these findings suggest that facial appearance represents social expectations of how a person with a particular name should look. In this way, a social tag may influence one’s facial appearance,” said co-author Dr Ruth Mayo. 58. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? ‎ A. How your name sounds simply counts.‎ B. Your name may tell how you look.‎ C. Social expectations determine your name.‎ D. It’s important to concentrate on facial muscles.‎ ‎59. What can we learn from the eight studies?‎ A. Most of the participants match the name with the face correctly.‎ B. The findings are contradictory to those of the previous research.‎ C. They are based on the data from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.‎ D. The findings are similar to those of the previous research.‎ ‎60. According to Dr Ruth Mayo, one’s facial appearance is basically affected by ___________.‎ A. social expectations B. the experience of their life C. their parents’ preference D. the meaning of their names C Encouraging life to bloom in the middle of a desert is no easy task. But one company, The National Advisor Bureau, in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a unique plan to provide drinking water for the state’s citizens. The firm intends to pull icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its billions of gallons of fresh water. One iceberg could provide enough for one million people over five years, according to the company. And the scheme could begin as early as the start of 2018. ‎ The firm’s director says they have already travelled the transportation route and used simulators to check the practicality of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Shehi said: “we predict that it will take up to one year to tow (拖拉) an iceberg to UAE.” We have made the technical and financial plan. Towing is the best method. We will start the project in beginning of 2018. “We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.” ‎ The UAE is one of the most dry countries and one of the top 10 most water-scarce in the world, due to its extremely dry climate, which receives less than four inches (100 mm) of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years. An ‎ 18‎ ‎ ‎ average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the Abu Dhabi-based company. They take a long time to melt as 80 percent of their mass is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight, reducing its heat. Upon arrival at a specially constructed processing facility, workers will “mine” the icebergs for their water supplies. Blocks of ice will be sliced and placed in giant tanks, before being filtered and processed. “This is the purest water in the world”, Mr Al Shehi added. He also claims the iceberg’s presence could provide a more moist micro-climate in the area, perhaps even prompting rainfall. And the project may prove a boost for tourism if it proves a success, with people travelling to see the unusual sight of an iceberg off the coast of the Arabian Gulf.‎ ‎61. What is the main purpose of The National Advisor Bureau’s scheme?‎ A. To boost tourism and ease financial burden in UAE.‎ B. To save endangered wildlife and boost tourism in UAE.‎ C. To make drinking water accessible to the people in UAE.‎ D. To get the purest water in the world for the citizens in UAE.‎ ‎62. What does the underlined word simulator in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. A type of mining tool to carve out the iceberg.‎ B. An electronic device to create and store energy.‎ C. A vehicle to transport the iceberg from Antarctica.‎ D. A piece of equipment to test potential conditions.‎ ‎63. Which of the following helps slow down the melting of iceberg during transportation?‎ A. The special electronic devices to keep the iceberg frozen.‎ B. The time of processing iceberg before being transported.‎ C. Much of the iceberg lying under water with ice above reflecting light.‎ D. The floating of the iceberg in the seawater with a more moist micro-climate.‎ ‎64. What is the author’s attitude towards the plan?‎ A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.‎ D For more than three decades, Deirdre Taylor only knew the firefighter who saved her life through the black-and-white photos on the front page of the New York Daily News, on Dec. 30, 1983.‎ She was only 4 then, a blond, wide-eyed toddler pictured in the paper in the arms of the firefighter, Eugene Pugliese, who had just carried her out of her burning apartment building. Taylor, now a registered nurse in Alexandria, Virginia, kept the Daily News article for years. She wished as she got older that she could find Pugliese and thank ‎ 18‎ ‎ ‎ him—a desire that intensified after she became an emergency room nurse, as she learned how rare it was to hear back from patients she encountered on the worst days of their lives.‎ But she hadn’t lived in New York since the fire, and didn’t know where to start. She periodically searched his name on Google, finding nothing. Finally, in March, Taylor thought she may have one last chance to find him. With her family’s support, she decided to move from Virginia to New York for eight weeks to work in an overwhelmed Manhattan emergency room— trying to help save the lives of coronavirus patients, while searching for the man who saved hers. ‎ ‎“When I was packing my bags, I packed the Daily News article with me, ____①____ ” Taylor, 40, said, “and I told myself that one of the things I’m going to accomplish while I’m here is track him down, or track a family member down, and just say thank you. ”‎ Pugliese, 75, had never had someone track him down to say thank you before, he said. For decades, the Daily News front-page article hung in his office. How could he forget Deirdre? “I've had her picture on my wall for 24 years,” he said.‎ He remembers the day clearly. It began when a man came running up yelling that there was a fire. Pugliese rushed to the burning building, where thick smoke was pouring out of a sixth-floor apartment. He went into and found it engulfed in flames. Taylor’s mother was crying, “My baby! My baby!” Pugliese remembered. He quickly helped her out of the room before returning on his hands and knees, crawling through the burning studio and blinding smoke for about six feet, when he felt the child. She was unconscious. He carried her to the living room, where he gave her mouth-to-mouth breath to bring her back. He rushed down the six flights of stairs to get her to an ambulance, when to Pugliese’s relief, she woke up and started to cry. “ _____②____ I was just in the right place at the right time,” Pugliese said. Pugliese later received a medal for Taylor’s rescue, in a ceremony that is among his most prized memories.‎ Taylor’s first two weeks in New York were overwhelming, as she and her colleagues dealt with patient after patient struggling to breathe. During her time off, she tried on one occasion to go to the firehouse where Pugliese worked, only to find a sign on the door discouraging visitors due to covid-19. But finally, last week, Taylor caught a break. A group of firefighters came to the ER to deliver the medical staff pizzas for dinner, to show their appreciation. Taylor explained to them that she was trying to find a likely retired fireman from Ladder No. 20, and did they have any suggestions on how to start? ‎ One of the firemen gave her a phone number to connect her with the fire chief.‎ ‎“Oh, Gene?” the chief told her. “He stops by the firehouse all the time.”‎ ‎“ _____③____ ” Taylor said, “I couldn’t believe it. I really didn’t think he was still going to be around. I really thought I was going to hit a dead end.” He said, “Yeah, I have his phone number in my cellphone.”‎ The chief phoned Pugliese right away. Less than an hour later, Taylor’s phone rang. “It’s Gene Pugliese,” he said. “I’m the firefighter who rescued you that day.” Finally, Taylor told him what she had been meaning to say. Taylor said she could only describe the moment as surreal. Pugliese asked if her hair was still blond. It was. He told her the story of the fire, and she told him the story of her life afterward. They learned they had plenty in common. Both were die-hard Yankees fans. Both spent time in the military. ‎ 18‎ ‎ ‎ After the call, Pugliese said, “ ____④____ I cried for the rest of the day.”‎ ‎65. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies ___________.‎ A. it is impossible to receive the feedback from the one you helped.‎ B. it is not urgent to find Pugliese because of Taylor’s busy work.‎ C. it is precious to receive the feedback from the one you helped.‎ D. it is Taylor’s responsibility to save the lives of coronavirus patients.‎ ‎66. Why did Pugliese hang the Daily News picture on his wall for 24 years?‎ A. He was a responsible firefighter.‎ B. He has a long-lasting memory.‎ C. The rescue took him much effort.‎ D. The rescue was the highlight of his career.‎ ‎67. In which blank can we put the sentence “My heart literally skipped a beat” ?‎ A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④‎ ‎68. How did Pugliese feel after their talk on the phone?‎ A. He felt sad but relieved. B. He felt delighted and moved.‎ C. He felt shocked and grateful. D. He felt excited but awkward.‎ ‎69. What is likely to happen after the call?‎ A. Pugliese and Taylor may meet in person.‎ B. Taylor may award Pugliese a medal for his rescue.‎ C. Pugliese and Taylor may work together to fight the virus.‎ D. Pugliese and Taylor may lose touch again due to the virus.‎ ‎70. What can be the best title for the passage? ‎ A. A Brave Hero B. A Dedicated Nurse C. A Debt of Gratitude D. An Incredible Coincidence 第Ⅱ 卷 非客观题(共 35 分)‎ 第四部分: 任务型阅读(共 10 小题; 每小题 1 分, 满分 10 分)‎ 请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意: 每个空 18‎ ‎ ‎ 格只填 1 个单词。 请将答案写在答题卷上相应题号的横线上。‎ Driverless cars used to be the sort of thing you’d see in sci-fi films, but in 2020 they’re becoming a reality. Autonomous car technology is already being developed by the likes of Lexus, BMW and Mercedes, and we’ve even tested Tesla’s driverless Autopilot system on UK roads. Across the Atlantic, Google is developing its automated technology in the wild, and Apple is rumoured to be working with BMW on its own—probably automated—car. ‎ Fully-driverless tech is still at an advanced testing stage, but partially automated technology has been around for the last few years. Executive saloons like the BMW 7 Series feature automated parking, and can even be controlled remotely.‎ With so much investment and interest in driverless technology, it’s easy to assume that self-operating cars are likely to happen soon, but they’re much further away than we might think. Before diverless vehicles go to market widely, manufacturers must deal with a range of technical and ethical challenges, and prevent the biggest threat to autonomous technology: humans.‎ The human problem Humans present problems for autonomous cars as both drivers and pedestrians, and dealing with our unpredictable behaviour represents a significant challenge for the technology. ‎ The Google Car is one of the most experienced autonomous vehicles. Even so, its interaction with human drivers has given rise to the exposure of one of driverless cars’ main weaknesses. The first injury involving the Google Car wasn’t due to a fault in its system, but human-error. While correctly waiting at traffic lights, Google’s self-driving car was hit by an inattentive driver and, in spite of its sophisticated array (复杂精密的数组) of sensors, there was little it could do to avoid the incident. Luckily, the accident only resulted in minor injury for a few of the passengers, but it’s a reminder that autonomous cars are at risk when surrounded by human road users. ‎ Despite their sophisticated systems, self-driving cars currently have no plan B for human road users. Human drivers are able to interact with each other and make allowances, but also make countless, small mistakes when driving—mistakes to which current self-driving cars simply can’t adapt.‎ Dealing with pedestrians ‎ The way human drivers interact with pedestrians raises difficult moral and ethical questions for car manufacturers—with implications. ‎ Autonomous cars need to understand the way pedestrians behave, while also imitating the behaviour they’d expect from a human driver. “Everyone has a knowledge of how a human being is going to react, because we are all human beings,” says computer ethics commentator Ben Byford. “So if you walk out in front of a car, and presumably the car driver knows you’re there, they’re going to react in a certain way.” ‎ ‎“ If I walked out in front of a Google car travelling at 60mph, I have no real knowledge of how the vehicle will behave, so I’m effectively putting myself in danger.”‎ 18‎ ‎ ‎ How (71) ___▲___ away are we from autonomous cars?‎ Background information ● Autonomous car technology has been (72) ___▲___ in some famous car manufacturers. ‎ ● Partially automated technology has been in (73) ___▲___ for the last few years.‎ ● Before our roads are (74) ___▲___ with driverless vehicles, manufacturers have a lot of things to do.‎ ‎(75) ___▲__ about the autonomous technology The human problem ● ‎ The Google car’s accident has (76) ___▲___ one of driverless cars’ weaknesses.‎ ● ‎(77) ___▲___ the sophisticated array of sensors, Google’s self-driving car could do little to avoid the accident. ‎ ● With no alternative plan, self-driving cars cannot have a good (78) ___▲___ with human drivers.‎ Dealing with pedestrians ‎(79) ___▲___ human drivers who know pedestrians well, autonomous cars have difficulty in(80) ___▲___ their behavior, thus putting pedestrians in dang 第五部分: 书面表达(满分 25 分)‎ ‎81. 请阅读下面文字, 并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。‎ There’s no doubt that work deadlines can be stressful. When you have too many, you can feel overcome. And nearing deadlines encourages last-minute dashes for the finish line, like when students pull ‘all-nighters’ in an attempt to achieve weeks’ worth of essay writing in a handful of hours.‎ Yet there’s no question deadlines can serve a positive psychological function—after all, without them, many students might never even finish their work. You can see evidence for the power of deadlines in the ‘real world’, too. For instance, in 2015, when the US National Science Foundation dropped its usual twice-yearly deadlines for grant submissions in geoscience, as part of an attempt to help the overburdened system, the effect was dramatic. Annual submissions fell by 59% without the pressure of a deadline and it seems that many scientists lacked the urgency and motivation to deliver their applications. ‎ As new research findings shed light on the psychology of deadlines, we can learn ways that deadlines can be used to increase focus and boost perseverance.‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎1. 用约 30 个单词概括上文信息的主要内容;‎ ‎2. 谈谈设置“截止日期”的重要性;‎ ‎3. 就 如何确保在“截止日期”内完成任务提出你的建议( 不少于两点) 。‎ 18‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【写作要求】‎ ‎1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句;‎ ‎2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称;‎ ‎3. 不必写标题。‎ ‎【评分标准】‎ 内容完整, 语言规范, 语篇连贯, 词数适当。‎ ‎2020届高三第四次联合模拟考试 英语 第一部分:听力(共两节,满分20分)‎ ‎1-5 CBABA       6-10 BABAB     11-15 CBCCA    16-20 CABCC 第二部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分35分)‎ 第一节 单项选择(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)‎ ‎21-25 CDCAB 26-30 DBABD 31-35 DADAC 第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分)‎ ‎36-40CDBCA 41-45 BCBAD 46-50 DCABD 51-55 ACDAB 第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分〉‎ ‎56-57 BA 58-60 BDA 61-64 CDCA 65-70 CDCBAC 第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)‎ ‎71. far 72. tested/developed 73. use/ application/existence 74. flooded/ crowded ‎ ‎75.

However, deadlines can function positively and powerfully, proved by the 2015 example.‎ Deadlines have great influence on our work. For one thing, part of the motivating power of deadlines has to do with our goal. To realize our goal, we are willing to burn the midnight oil to get the work done more efficiently. For another, deadlines can help keep us in focus and advance our work. Without deadlines, we might find our targets and priorities postponed indefinitely, creating a feeling that we are simply drifting along, lacking in work enthusiasm. ‎ Here are my suggestions on how best to tackle the problem. Firstly, draw up a schedule and ensure everything goes according to it. If not, adjust it in time. Secondly, stay focused on your schedule and pace your efforts. ‎ Now, get down to your work today and you will surely complete it before the deadline and gain an unexpected harvest. ‎ 听力原文 ‎(Text 1)‎ M: Don’t you agree that it would be a good idea to inform Mr. Peterson of the party?‎ W: I’ll be sure to do so after my meeting.‎ ‎(Text 2)‎ W: Hi, Karim. Do you still want to buy my car?‎ M: Sure. I can give you the money tomorrow.‎ W: Oh, that’s great. I need the money this week. I have to pay my college fees for next year.‎ M: l No problem.‎ ‎(Text 3)‎ W: How was your holiday, John?‎ M: We had a good time, but the weather was awful. We didn’t have one sunny day!‎ W: Oh, dear, a week in the rain, poor you.‎ M: Well, that’s the funny thing. It never actually rained. It was just freezing. We thought it might even snow.‎ ‎(Text 4)‎ W: So what changes are happening in the town center?‎ M: Well, they are building a new supermarket. I suppose many small shops are worried about the future.‎ W: Why?‎ 18‎ ‎ ‎ M: Because supermarkets are cheaper than small shops.‎ ‎(Text 5)‎ W: I went out with Gina to a restaurant last night. She was on her mobile phone during dinner talking to her friends.‎ M: That wasn’t polite, was it?‎ W: No, it wasn’t. The medal was delicious but I’ll never go out with her again.‎ ‎(Text 6)‎ M: Hi, Helen! How was the concert last night?‎ W: Wonderful indeed. Many famous singers sang at the concert. It was called: Saving the Children”.‎ M: What does it mean?‎ W: The concert was held for collecting money for poor children all over the world. Many children in the world don’t have enough food and can’t go to school.‎ M: That’s quite true, but I think it is more necessary for governments to do something about the problem.‎ W: I agree with you.‎ ‎(Text 7)‎ M: My cell phone is so old. Every time I try to make a call, it stops working. I need to go shopping today for a new one.‎ W: You should go to Easyspeak Electronics where I bought my last cell phone. They offer a really good service, and the most important is that they have a sale on until this weekend.‎ M: Thanks for the suggestion. I have many questions on the functions of the cell phones.‎ W: When you visit there, make sure you take your old cell phone with you. They’ll move your phone number and contents into the new phone.‎ ‎(Text 8)‎ W: I heard a new museum opens today in the other end of town. I want to visit it. Will you go with me?‎ M: OK. Let’s take a streetcar here.‎ W: So why are you interested in going by streetcar?‎ M: Well, because it always keeps moving, even when there’s heavy traffic. So at least we’ll get there quite quickly.‎ W: I think I’d rather go by underground, really. ‎ M: I don’t fancy that. For one thing, it’s summer, so it’s going to be really hot down there. And for another, it gets too crowded.‎ 18‎ ‎ ‎ W: So what about going on the bus, then? I know it’s slow, but it’s cheap.‎ M: Actually, what I’d most like to do is sail down the river.‎ W: That’s a good idea. We can ride to the harbor on our bikes, put them on the boat and be in the other end of town in half an hour.‎ M: Right, that’s sorted, then!‎ ‎(Text 9)‎ M: Can I help you?‎ W: Yes. I know it’s rather late for a reservation, but we are three friends, and we’d like to travel to Greece in July.‎ M: Where would you like to stay?‎ W: We’ve been told Mykonos is one of the best islands there. Would that be possible?‎ M: Quite difficult in July. Anyway, how long would like to stay?‎ W: Two weeks. And, um… we cannot spend more than £100 a day.‎ M: For that price you won’t have many choices, I’m afraid. But let me find out. If you could arrange to make it in late June, I might have a bed-sitting room for £75. It could provide 3 single beds, and it’s 5 minutes’ walk from the main beach.‎ W: What’s the name of the beach?‎ M: Super Paradise.‎ W: Just fancy! My parents went there on their honeymoon and they still keep advising people to go there! I need to talk it over with my friends, though.‎ M: Well, talk with your friends, come to an agreement and give me a ring again. Remember we only have a month left, so you need to make up your mind today or tomorrow!‎ W: I will, thank you.‎ ‎(Text 10)‎ W: Whoever thought learning new words could feel socially responsible? A website called FreeRice.com is an English vocabulary game. It explains its purpose like this:”For each word you get right, we donate 20 grains of rice through the United Nations World Food Program to help end hunger.” ‎ Internet businessman John Breen created FreeRice in October. The United Nations World Food Program does not really get rice. The donations are given in the form of money. Advertisers whose names appear with the links at the bottom of the game pay for the rice.‎ Words are presented with four choices of answers. Players click on the one that best explains the word. Now, the ‎ 18‎ ‎ ‎ FreeRice game has fifty-five levels of difficulty. Players rarely get past level forty-eight.‎ Jennifer Parmelee is a World Food Program spokeswoman in Washington. She says cash donations help the agency to buy food locally and transport it quickly to where it is needed.‎ Over the last nine months, though, the cost to secure food aid has increased fifty-five percent. Jennifer Parmelee says this is the biggest danger the World Food Program has faced in its forty-year history. She says creative projects like FreeRice are badly needed right now.‎ 18‎ ‎ ‎
