2021 届东莞市第二高级中学高三英语三模试卷及参考答案 第一部分 阅读（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、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项 A In the age of social distancing,using robots for some health care interactions is a promising way to reduce in-person contact between health care workers and sick patients.However,a key question is how patients will react to a robot entering the room.Researchers from MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital recently set out to answer that question.In a study,the team found that a large majority of patients reported that interacting with a health care provider through a video screen fixed on a robot was similar to an in-person interaction with a health care worker.“Were working on robots that can help provide care to ensure the safety of the patient and the health care workforce.The results of this study give us some confidence that people are ready and willing to join us.In a larger online survey carried out nationwide,we also found that a majority of respondents were open to having robots perform small tasks such as taking a nose swab(拭子).”says Giovanni Traverso,an MIT assistant professor and the senior author of the study.After the COVID-19 pandemic began early last year,Traverso and his colleagues turned their attention toward new strategies to reduce interactions between potentially sick patients and health care workers.To that end,they created a mobile robot that could interact with patients as they waited in the emergency department.The robots were equipped with sensors that allow them to measure vital signs,including skin temperature,breathing rate,and pulse(脉搏)rate.The robots also carried an iPad for remote video communication with a health care provider.The study suggests that it could be worthwhile to develop robots that can perform tasks that currently require a lot of human effort,such as turning a patient over in bed.These days,turning COVID-19 patients onto their stomachs requires several people.Doing Covid-19 tests is another task that takes a lot of time and effort from health care workers,who could be arranged for other tasks if robots could help.1.Why did the researchers from MIT and BWH carry out the studies?A.To shorten the social distance between doctors and patients.B.To figure out the response of patients to robotic doctors.C.To reduce the risk of being infected with coronavirus.D.To ensure the safety of patients during the pandemic.2.What could be learned from the study?A.Robots are not welcomed by patients.B.Robots will soon replace doctors.C.Robots may help to deal with Covid-19 patients.D.Robots can operate on different patients.3.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.StrengthsAnd Weaknesses In Robot Care B.The Robotic Doctor Will See You Now C.The Robots Speed Up COVID-19 Testing D.The Development Of Robots In Hospitals B TOKYOJapanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told the media on Monday if any places hosting events of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics declare a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic during the games,the events will continue to beheld but without spectators(观众).With one month to go before the games are due to begin on July 23,Suga is again showing his administrations determination to hold the Olympic Games as planned,despite so much pressure from various parties urging it tocancel the event.Although the Japanese government regards the Tokyo Olympics as an important opportunity to improve its soft power,the Japanese peoples enthusiasm for the Games has been continuously dented(挫伤)since they were postponed last year.The resurgence(再猖獗)of the novel coronavirus in some places is Japan in recent months has cast a shadow over peoples confidence that the Olympics will not give rise to new clusters(群)of infections,and there are fears that the Games will provide new channels for the virus global transmission.Some torchbearers from Japan have withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay in the country.And the latest survey indicates only 34 percent of Japanese people support holding the games as scheduled.Predictably,the Suga administration will do all it can to try to ensure the games go ahead.But it remains to be seen whether it can stand the tests of the uncertainties related to epidemic prevention and control that might happen during the Games.Since it has not yet got the virus under control at home,the people have reasons to question is ability to deal with the prevention and control work when large numbers of participants will be flocking to Japan from around the world in a short time.It is to be hoped that Japan can draw lessons from the organization of epidemic prevention and control work during the ongoing UEFA European Championship,carry out strict epidemic prevention and control measures,and be prepared for emergencies to guarantee the safety and success of the Olympics at this special time.It should be a common wish of the whole world that the Tokyo Olympics can become a stage showing unity and resolve of human beings in their fight against the virus.That willendowthe games with special meaning beyond sports.4.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The virus global transmission.B.People worry about the infections.C.The resurgence of the novel coronavirus.D.The benefit of holding the Tokyo Olympics.5.How do about one third of Japanese people like holding the games as planned?A.Uncertain.B.Negative.C.Approving.D.Indifferent.6.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word“endow”in the last paragraph?A.Compare.B.Equip.C.Provide.D.Charge.7.What can be the best title for the news report?A.Japan can ensure Olympics go ahead B.Olympics big test for Japanese government C.Japanese peoples enthusiasm for the Games D.Japan to carry out strict epidemic prevention during the Games C Experts are warning about the risks of extremely picky(挑剔的)eating after a teenager living on a diet of chips and crisps developed lasting sight loss.Eye doctors inBristolcared for the 17-year-old after his sight had gone to the point of blindness.Tests showed he had serious vitamin deficiency(缺乏).Dr.Denize Atan,who treated him at the hospital,said,“His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day.He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham,and not really any fruit and vegetables.”The teenager saw his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell.At that time he suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency,but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet.Three years later,he was taken to theBristolEyeHospitalbecause of progressive sight loss.He was not overweight or underweight,but he had lost minerals from his bones,which was really quite shocking for a boy of his age.In terms of his sight loss,he met the standards of being blind.“He had blind spots right in the middle of his sight,”said Dr Denize Atan,“That means he cant drive and would find it reallyarduousto read,watch TV or recognize faces.”Dr Denize Atan said that parents should learn about the harm that can be caused by picky eating,and turn to experts for help.For those who are concerned,she advised,“Its best not to be anxious about picky eating,and instead calmly introduce one or two new foods with every meal.”She said multivitamin tablets can supplement(补充)a diet,but cannot take the place of eating healthily.“Its much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet,”she said,adding that too manycertain vitamins,including vitamin A,can be harmful,“so you dont want to overdo it.”8.What does Dr Denize Atan imply in paragraph 1?A.The diet of the boy is not balanced.B.Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins.C.Picky eating is common among teenagers.D.The cause of the boys disease is unknown.9.Why did the boy go to see his doctor at the age of 14?A.To improve his poor diet.B.To get some help to lose weight.C.To be treated for his discomfort.D.To slow down his progressive sight loss.10.What does the underlined word“arduous”in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Important.B.Easy.C.Necessary.D.Difficult.11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.Reasons why the boy is seriously ill.B.Suggestions for the boys family to care for him.C.Advice for parents worried about picky eating.D.Waysof taking in enough vitamins and minerals.D Every day in the United States animals are beaten,ignored,or forced to struggle for survival.Left in poor conditions with no food or water,they have little hope as they live out their days without the mercy they deserve.Some are found and rescued,given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be;others arent so lucky.To grow as a nation,we must fight for these abused(受虐待的)animals rights and seriously punish heartless owners.One of the first steps in protecting animals and creating effective cruelty laws is to know what animal cruelty actually is.There are two categories:passive cruelty and active cruelty.The first involves acts of omission,meaning the abuse happens as a result of ignorance or lack of action.Passive cruelty might seem less serious,but that is not the case;it can lead to terrible pain and suffering,and finally death.Examples include starvation,inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions,and the failure to get medical care.Passive cruelty is sometimes due to the owners ignorance,so many animal control officers will first try to educate ignorant owners on how to properly care for animals before giving them a citation(传票)or putting them in prison.Active cruelty,on the other hand,is more well-known and disturbing.Sometimes referred to as non-accidental injury,this type of abuse involves purposeful harm on an animal in order to feel more powerful or gain control.Active cruelty against animals should be taken very seriously,since it can be a sign that a person has serious psychological issues and may commit more acts of violence-possibly against humans.It is hard to tell just what drives people to harm innocent animals.Most animal abusers find some sort of achievement or power in torturing a victim that they know cant fight back.While not all animal abusers become serial killers,it is important to take every case seriously.As a nation we need to make it our right to come together and ensure the safety of our beloved pets.As Margaret Mead once said,“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,committed citizens can change the world.Indeed,it is the only thing that ever has.”12.What is the first step to do with the passive cruelty abusers?A.To throw them into prison.B.To bring the case to the court.C.To teach them how to treat animals.D.To give them a strong warning.13.We can learn from Para.3 that active cruelty _.A.is actually a sign of power or control B.has been taken seriously in the nation C.may lead to serious psychological problems D.may cause acts of violence against humans 14.What is the authors attitude towards animal cruelty?A.Uncertain.B.Doubtful.C.Concerned.D.Pessimistic.15.The author wrote this passage to _.A.warn those heartless pet owners B.tell people the harm of animal cruelty C.explain the reasons why people harm animals D.call on people to fight for the abused animals 第二节（共 5
