Take part in foreign wildlife rescue．‎ B. Make a speech on the environment．‎ C. Learn how living things affect each other．．‎ D. Get to know why species get endangered．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）For a guided tour， visitors should know that________．‎ A. it is available on weekdays B. large groups are served first C. booking is needed． D. its time could change ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎     Love the way you walk     Listen carefully to the footsteps in the family home,  and you can probably work out who is walking about． The features most commonly used to identify people are faces,  voices and fingerprints． But the way they walk is also a giveaway．     Researchers have used video cameras and computers to analyze people's gaits,  and are now quite good at it． But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky． Cameras are often visible,  are difficult to set up,  require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people． A team led by Dr． Ozanyan and Dr． Scully have been looking for a better way to recognize gait． Their answer:  pressure﹣sensitive mats．     Such mats are nothing new． They have been part of security systems． But Ozanyan and Scully use a complicated version that can record the amount of pressure applied in different places as someone walks across it． These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker． The researchers turned to an artificial﹣intelligence system to recognize such patterns,  and it seemed to work． In a study in 2018,  they tested the system on a database of footsteps of 127 people． They found its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere 0.7%． And Scully says even without a database of footsteps to work with,  the system can determine someone's sex and,  with reasonable accuracy,  a subject's age．     One application of the mat﹣based gait﹣recognition system might be in health care,  particularly for the elderly． A mat placed in a nursing home or an old person's own residence could monitor changes in an individual's gait that indicates certain illnesses． That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling over．     Gait analysis might also be used as a security measure in the workplace,  monitoring access to restricted areas,  such as parts of military bases,  server farms or laboratories dealing with dangerous materials．     Perhaps the most interesting use of the mats,  though,  would be in public places,  such as airports． For that to work,  the footsteps of those to be recognized would need to have been stored in a database,  which would be harder to arrange than the collection of photographs and fingerprints that existing airport security systems rely on． Many aircrew or preregistered frequent flyers would welcome anything that speeded up one of the most tiresome parts of modern travel． ‎ ‎（1）What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2？________‎ 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 A.

To warn people away from popular cities．‎ B. To describe how unique the city is．‎ C. To compare the number of visitors to that of locals．．‎ D. To show how crowded a destination can be．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）What is the problem of overtourism？________‎ A. It has led to higher living expenses．‎ B. It has destroyed local businesses．‎ C. It has caused mistrust among local communities．．‎ D. It has increased the unemployment rate．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）The reason for overtourism is that________．‎ A. tourists lack a sense of responsibility B. destinations misjudge their capacity C. tourists' travelling preference is oversimplified．‎ D. governments fail to support the supply chain ‎ ‎ ‎（4）According to the writer， what should the local governments do？________‎ A. Guarantee local people's welfare．‎ B. Take full advantage of tourism．‎ C. Control tourism﹣related businesses．．‎ D. Advocate a ban on global tourism．‎ 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 第二节（共10分）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ A cultural view on personal space It's a well﹣known fact that the British prefer a large "bubble" of personal space around them． （1）_______And in South America， a friend may grab you by the arm during conversation to make their point． Now， a study published in the Journal of Cross﹣Cultural Psychology has looked into why different cultures have such different approaches to personal space． （2）_______They developed an earlier study that divided individuals into "contact" and "non﹣contact" cultures． Contact cultures﹣southern European， Latin American and Arabian﹣engaged in more touching and stood closer during conversation than non﹣contact cultures in northern Europe， North America and parts of Asia． To a degree， this proved correct． Argentina becomes known as the most touchy﹣feely nation； people here keep the same distance from a stranger as a British person would an acquaintance and a Canadian individual a close friend or partner．（3）_______They come out with the widest distance you should stand from a stranger﹣more than 1.3m﹣but one of the narrowest gaps for close friends， just 40cm， compared to nearly 60cm for a British person． So the theory of warm versus cold is not as straightforward as it sounds． （4）_______The higher a country's average temperature， the closer people will stand to a stranger． But older people in warm climates keep a bigger distance from close friends and stand closer to strangers； women generally keep a greater distance from someone they don't know． The academics leading this study admit that there is a lot more to do． But what we do know is to keep your distance in Canada； prepare for a hug in Argentina．（5）_______They like to stand closer than anybody． To keep warm， perhaps． A． It's important to get the distance right， though． B． Romanians clearly take longer to establish trust． C． How close we stand to other people varies widely between countries． D． And if you end up on good terms with a Norwegian， don't draw back． E． However， in India people will pack into trains and buses without a second thought． F． One theory the researchers wanted to test was whether climate affects personal space． G． The study certainly found that climate， age and gender have an effect on personal distance across cultures． ‎ 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 假设你是红星中学学生李华．你的美国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中询问你的高三生活情况．请你给他回复邮件，内容包括： 1．近况； 2．感受； 3．愿望． 注意：1．词数不少于50； 2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数． Dear Jim， Yours， Li Hua ‎ 第二节（20分）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 假设你是红星中学学生李华．请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序，给某英文报刊投稿，记录你参加的绿化社区活动． 注意：词数不少于60． 提示词：花苗 flower seedling ‎ 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 参考答案与试题解析 ‎2019年北京市东城区高考英语二模试卷 第一部分：知识运用（共两节，45分）第一节 语法填空（每小题1.5分， 共15分）‎ ‎1.‎ ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 说明都资法填空 阅读射面综合 完常综陆 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 第二节 完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）‎ ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 阅读射面综合 完常综陆 说明都资法填空 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）第一节（共30分）‎ ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 阅读射面综合 完常综陆 推正移断 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 阅读射面综合 广告常告够阅读 完常综陆 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 阅读射面综合 完常综陆 科正知阅读 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 阅读射面综合 广告常告够阅读 完常综陆 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 第二节（共10分）‎ ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 阅读射面综合 完常综陆 七体五板读 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）‎ ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 ‎【考点】‎ 提纲类 应表文木作 阅读射面综合 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 第二节（20分）‎ ‎【答案】‎ 此题暂无答案 ‎【考点】‎ 提纲类 应表文木作 阅读射面综合 ‎【解析】‎ 此题暂无解析 ‎【解答】‎ 此题暂无解答 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页
