B The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named "DriveLAB" in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are. Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated and inactive. Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life. These include custom-made navigation (导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: "For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others." "But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their 英语（预测卷二）第 4 页（共 11 页） driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to." Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, "The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems." "For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that. "We hope that our work will help with technological solutions to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel." 24.What is the purpose of the DriveLAB? A.To explore new means of transport. B.To find out older driver's problems. C.To design new types of cars. D.To teach people traffic rules. 25.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe? A.It cures their mental illnesses. B.It helps them save time. C.It builds up their strength. D.It keeps them independent. 26.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers? A.Improve their driving skills. B.Provide tips on repairing their cars. C.Develop driver-assist technologies. D.Organize regular physical checkups. 27.What is the best title for the text? A.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road B.A Solution to Traffic Problem C.Driving Service for Elders D.A new Model Electric Car C Offshore wind turbines (风力发电机) could generate enough electricity to power every home and business on Earth, according to a new report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA). The IEA describes the results as the "most comprehensive global study" of offshore wind. Fatih Birol, executive director of the IEA, said that offshore wind has the potential to join oil, gas and solar power as energy sources that have enjoyed a boom in production following a sharp fall in costs. "Offshore wind currently provides just 0.3% of global power generation, but its potential is vast," Birol said. "More and more of that potential is coming within reach, but much work remains to be done by governments and industry for it to become a mainstay." Increased government support and new investment would help unlock new technology, including floating platforms that would allow turbines to be located much further out to sea. The report says that developing well-equipped wind sites located close to shore would supply more than the total amount of electricity consumed worldwide today. The maximum potential for offshore wind production is more than 120,000 gigawatts (千兆瓦) , or 11 times projected global electricity demand in 2040, although that estimate does not factor in difficulties in transmitting and storing the power generated. Wind power will be able to satisfy increasing demand for clean power to reduce the carbon use, according to the IEA. In the European Union, for example, offshore wind capacity is set to be the region's largest source of electricity in the 2040s. Its growth is expected to far outpace the increase in electricity demand, allowing surplus wind power to be used to produce hydrogen (氢) , 英语（预测卷二）第 5 页（共 11 页） which in turn could reduce carbon use in transportation and building. Chinese government policies designed to meet sustainable energy goals will help the country overtake the United Kingdom as having the largest offshore wind fleet by 2025. The push will see China's offshore wind capacity rise from 4 gigawatts in 2019 to 110 gigawatts by 2040. Other countries with a large number of coastal urban centers are also set to benefit, said the IEA. 28.Which of the following statements may be agreed by Fatih Birol? A.Offshore wind has its potential within reach. B.Offshore wind can lead to a sharp fall in costs. C.Offshore wind has enjoyed a boom in production. D.Offshore wind power will for sure become a mainstay. 29.What does the underlined word “surplus” in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Spare. B.Enough. C.Limited. D.Abundant. 30.What can we infer from this text? A.China will meet its sustainable energy goals in 2025. B.Wind power will reduce the carbon use in the world. C.Offshore wind will be the largest source of power in 2040. D.The maximum potential mentioned can’t be fully achieved. 31.What is the main idea of this text? A.Wind power will become a new trend. B.A clean power has been found by IEA. C.Offshore wind could power the world. D.IEA published a report on offshore wind. D One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible insect. He lay on his armor-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. "What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table—Samsa was a travelling salesman—and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur scarf who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff (暖手 筒) that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the window, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense," he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before. He thought, "What a heavy career it is that I've chosen! Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home, and on top of that there's the curse of travelling, worries about making train connections, bad and irregular food, 英语（预测卷二）第 6 页（共 11 页） contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them." He felt a slight itch up on his belly; pushed himself slowly up on his back towards the headboard so that he could lift his head better; found where the itch was, and saw that it was covered with lots of little white spots which he didn't know what to make of; and when he tried to feel the place with one of his legs he drew it quickly back because as soon as he touched it he was overcome by a cold tremble. He slid back into his former position. "Getting up early all the time," he thought, "it makes you stupid. You've got to get enough sleep. Other travelling salesmen live a life of luxury. For instance, whenever I go back to the guest house during the morning to copy out the contract, these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating their breakfasts. I ought to just try that with my boss; I'd get kicked out on the spot. But who knows, maybe that would be the best thing for me. If I didn't have my parents to think about I'd have given in my notice a long time ago, I'd have gone up to the boss and told him just what I think, tell him everything I would, let him know just what I feel. He'd fall right off his desk! And it's a funny sort of business to be sitting up there at your desk, talking down at your inferiors from up there, especially when you have to go right up close because the boss is hard of hearing. Well, there's still some hope; once I've got the money together to pay off my parents' debt to him—another five or six years I suppose—that's definitely what I'll do. That's when I'll make the big change. First of all though, I've got to get up, my train leaves at five." 32.According to the passage, Gregor initially believes his transformation is a ? A.curse B.disease C.nightmare D.fraud 33.The word "floundering" in paragraph most nearly means ? A.struggling B.painful C.pitiful D.trembling 34.The author most likely includes a description of Gregor's itch in paragraph 4 to ? A.remind the reader that Gregor has already turned into an insect B.stress the disconnection between Gregors' thoughts and his actual situation C.present important details about what Gregor's new body looks like D.show that Gregor's thoughts are focused on the changes to his body 35.The main rhetorical (修辞的) effect of the final sentence of the excerpt ("First of all though, I've got to get up, my train leaves at five") is to ? A.provide a solution to the conflict Gregor faces B.foretell the conflict between Gregor and his boss C.illustrate Gregor's flexibility and ability to move on D.emphasize Gregor's extreme sense of duty 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 What is culture? Culture is too complex to define in simple terms. 36 One is that culture is a total pattern of behaviour that is consistent in its components. Another fundamental is that culture is learned behaviour. The third is that culture is behaviour that is shared by a group of people. To understand the culture of a particular country or region, one could examine its components, among which are material culture, language, and social organization. Material culture includes the tools and symbols in a society, not including those physical things found in nature, unless they have undergone some change or have been given meaning by people. 37 英语（预测卷二）第 7 页（共 11 页） The way we consume and what we consume are heavily influenced by material culture. 38 Linked with all other aspects of culture, it reflects the nature and values of that culture. Industrialized societies have a rich vocabulary for commercial and industrial activities, while less industrialized societies may have richer vocabularies for matters important to their societies. The Eskimos in Alaska have many words to describe snow whereas English has only one general term. Social organization differs somewhat from society to society. The primary kind of community association is based on blood ties. 39 . It provides mutual protection, psychological support, and a kind of economic insurance or social security for its members. The term "brothers" in Zaire includes those whom we call cousins and uncles. Cultural analysis serves a variety of purposes. Understanding the various dimensions and their inter-relatedness helps promote cross-cultural awareness. 40 A. Some scholars even suggest that it is useless to try. B. Language is the most obvious difference between cultures. C. However, there are certain agreed-on fundamentals that can be easily identified. D. The values represented within a culture can also change with the passing of time. E. For example, a mouse running on a street is not part of a culture, but the Mickey Mouse is. F. In many developing countries, the extended family fulfills several social and economic roles. G. It leads on to the pr omotion of goodwill, social and economic planning and harmony between social groupings or societies. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When my kids were young, I would sometimes wonder what I had done wrong when child after child was born into our family with far too high a dose (剂量) of “strong will”. I would 41 observe other families whose children seemed so understanding and so easy to please. My kids, 42 , were “spirited”. They hardly ever obeyed me, constantly testing my 43 . It was their way or the highway or at least a lot of screaming and other such nonsense if their way was not acknowledged. I began to wonder if strong will was a genetic trait (遗传特性). One Sunday, I was out in the hallway at church with Andrew, who was about 3 years old at the time, but who was so 44 active and excited about small things. While he was screaming, a sweet elderly woman came up to me and said, “Your kids are so 45 .” I glanced down at my screaming baby, and 46 if she was talking to the right person. “They are brave and determined,” she went on, “which means that they will 47 great things.” I told her that I hoped she was right, and she 48 repeated, with a loving smile, that she was. Quite 49 , I was a little shocked at her timing. She had seen me come to church week after week, and watched me 50 with my noisy troublemakers. She knew that I spent more time walking the halls 51 trying to keep them quiet than actually sitting in the meetings. I did not understand why she had picked that particular moment, when my patience was running out and my child was screaming, to tell me that my kids were full of 52 . As I realized not too late, “Strong-willed children are a 53 , not a curse (诅咒)!” Yes, there have been times when I have 54 wanted to throw my hands in the air and scream, and times when I have done just that. But there have 55 been moments when I have felt like I was the 英语（预测卷二）第 8 页（共 11 页） student instead of the teacher. 41.A.happily B.longingly C.relatively D.unwillingly 42.A.furthermore B.otherwise C.therefore D.however 43.A.patience B.love C.courage D.chance 44.A.strictly B.hesitatingly C.uncommonly D.nervously 45.A.strong B.helpful C.hopeful D.smart 46.A.questioned B.considered C.wondered D.understood 47.A.explain B.accomplish C.change D.invent 48.A.faithfully B.confidently C.stubbornly D.secretly 49.A.calmly B.badly C.sadly D.honestly 50.A.debate B.fight C.struggle D.wrestle 51.A.before B.after C.while D.until 52.A.energy B.excitement C.courage D.potential 53.A.wish B.blessing C.choice D.fate 54.A.desperately B.eventually C.accidentally D.simply 55.A.hardly B.also C.never D.already 第二节（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下列短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The American space agency, NASA, 56 (release) its latest plan to place the first humans on the moon since 1972.

He threw rocks at them and even shot at them with a shotgun. At least thatˈs what we had heard. His small farm bordered our neighborhood where my younger sister, Leigh Ann, and I lived when we were growing up. His farm was long, narrow, and quaint. It held two treasures. One was his beautiful fruit. There were many varieties of fruit: pears, apples, and lots more I just canˈt think of. The fruit naturally drew the children to his land. It made them into thieves. But my sister and I didnˈt dare to take his fruit because of the horrible rumors we had heard about Old Man Donovan. One summer day, we were playing in a nearby field. It was time to head back home. My sister and I were feeling very daring that day. There was a short cut to our house that went through the Donovan farm. We thought he wouldn ˈ t be able to see us run across his property around the luscious fruit trees. We were almost through the farm when we heard, "Hey, girls!" in a gruff, low voice. We stopped dead in our tracks! There we were, face to face with Old Man Donovan. Our knees were shaking. We had visions of rocks pounding our bodies and bullets piercing our hearts. “Come here,” he said, reaching up to one of his apple trees. Still shaking, we went over to him. He held out several ripe, juicy, red apples. “Take these home,” he commanded. We took the apples with surprised hearts and ran all the way home. Of course, Leigh Ann and I ate the apples. As time went on, we often went through Old Man Donovanˈs farm, and he kept on giving us more luscious fruit. One day, we stopped by to see him when he was on his front porch. We talked to him for hours. While he was talking, we realized that we had found the other hidden treasure: the sweet, kind heart hidden behind his gruff voice. Soon, he was one of our favorite people to talk to. Unfortunately, his family never seemed to enjoy our company. They never smiled or welcomed us in. 注意： (1)续写词数应为 150 左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: Every summer, we would visit Mr. Donovan and talk to him. Para 2: The next winter, word got around that Old Man Donovan had died. 英语（预测卷二）第 10 页（共 11 页） 英语（预测卷二）第 11 页（共 11 页） 2021 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 英语答案（预测卷二） 1-5：ABCCA 6-10：BCABB 11-15：BCABC 16-20：CBBAC 21-25：ADD 24-27：BDCA 28-31：BADC 32-35：CABD 36-40：CEBFG 41-45：BDACD 46-50： CBBDC 51-55：CDBAB 56.has released 57.updated 58.that 59.scientific 60.its 61.are competing 62.that/which 63.a 64.leave 65.out 【Ⅰ范文】 Dear fellow students, We all feel concerned when seeing leftovers piled in the bins of the canteen. To arouse our awareness of saving food, our school is to launch a campaign against food waste. As for us students, please don't order food that we can't finish. Furthermore, let's remind each other to clear the plate all the time or pack leftovers home. Treasuring food is a Chinese traditional virtue. Remember, every grain comes after hard work. Let's save food and do it from now! The Student Union 【Ⅱ范文】Paragraph 1： Every summer, we would visit Mr. Donovan and talk to him. We shared with him our colorful experience at school while he kept giving out his luscious fruits to us as usual. As time went by, we seemed to be more a family than good friends and his family gradually came to greet us with a warm smile. But one summer, we were informed that he was seriously ill and we were anxious and restless, feeling like sitting on pins and needles. The next day, we rushed straight to the hospital to see his health condition. Weak as he was, he comforted us that it wasn’t a big deal. It was from his family that we knew the truth. Old Man Donovan had fell from a tree while looking after the fruits and his head was seriously hurt and need an operation. The operation might not succeed and it was a gamble whether he would live or die. Paragraph 2： The next winter, word got around that Old Man Donovan had died. Hearing the bad news, my sister and I just couldn’t believe it until we went back home and saw his smiling face on the wall. I felt a lump in my throat, tears welling up in my eyes. The family approached and welcomed us. “I’ m sorry for your loss.” I gave them a big hug. On my way back home, the wind whistled through the trees, as if mourning for the death of Donovan. I realized gone were the days when we sat together chatting with each other. I realized gone were the days when we were lucky enough to have a taste of the luscious fruit grown by him. However, he left us a hidden treasure-- his kind heart, which shall never die away with the passage of time.
