2021 届东营市利津县第一中学高三英语二模试卷及参考答案 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 Four Best Cities to Visit in Winter Cold rains,icy sidewalks and gray skies can make winter travel a trial.But here are four cities around the world that make for a great cold-weather destination:Prague,Czech Republic With its snow-capped spires and winding streets,Pragueis a fairytale city that remains ly tourist-free in winter.The amazing architecture looks even prettier under a sheet of snow,with one of the most beautiful areas being the old town,with its Romanesque vaults.Gas street lamps have been placed throughout the city center,adding a romantic color1 to evenings.Cafes here are ideal for escaping the bitter cold.Salzburg,Austria With its Christmas songs and traditional markets,this is a perfect city for a winter break.“Silent Night”was performed for the first time in thechurchofOberndorfon the border ofSalzburgon Christmas Eve in 1818.The citys main market is held in the shadow ofSalzburgsHohensalzburgCastle,but the one held inMirabell Squareis especially popular with food lovers who come to taste local food such as haluskypieces of dumpling mixed with fried bacon.Tromso,Norway Tromso is widely regarded asNorways most beautiful city and is a base for spoiling the northern lights.There are several attractive museums,including thePolarMuseum,which offers an insight into the history of Arctic expeditions,and theTromsoMuseum,which is famous for its Sami exhibitions.Amsterdam,Netherlands In winter,Amsterdam s museums are much less crowded,making it the time to visit attractions such as Rijksmuseum or the Anne Frank House.Built originally to house a circus,the Royal Carre Theater is more than 130 years old.Children will love the spectacular performances.1.What can you do inPrague?A.Enjoy the fascinating architecture.B.Taste local food halusky.C.Appreciate Sami exhibitions.D.Watch a circus performance.2.Where was“Silent Night”first performed?A.In thechurchofOberndorf.B.InHohensalzburgCastle.C.InMirabell Square.D.In the Polar Museum.3.Which city will you choose if you want to see the northern lights?A.Prague.B.Salzburg.C.Tromso.D.Amsterdam.B It all happened one afternoon in Carls backyard a few years ago.We had just finished playing stickball,and I was about to go home.“Wait a minute,”Carl yelled.He ran into his house and cameback with a book for me to take home and read.All he said was,“See if you like it.”I said ly nothing.I kept the book for a couple of weeks and then returned it unread.Carl never asked me if I liked it or not.During the following two years Carl lent me three more books.Each time I returned them unread.A few days after graduating from high school,Carl asked,“Benny,which college are you going to?”“Im not going to college.”I said.“Why not?”he asked.“Because my father cant afford the tuition(学费).”I answered.“Is that it?”Carl asked.“Yes,”I said.I lied.I had no intention of going back to school now that I was out.The following day,Carl knocked on my door and handed me a check for seventy-five dollars from his father along with the bookMartin Eden.“I think that should do it.”he said.Once again I was in shock.I was working full-time in my brothers bakery.I attended two classes atWayneUniversitypart-time at night.Halfway through the semester,after receiving failing grades on exams and essays,I decided there was no way I would ever become a good student and get satisfactory grades.I dropped out of college.One day,curious,I picked up the book,thinking Carl was trying to tell me something.Despite difficulty,I pressed on.By the time I finished the book,I understood why:the main character,Martin Eden,had my own poor educational background,but managed to educate himself and become a published author.4.What do we know about the author?A.He often told lies.B.He quit school unwillingly.C.He had thought little of education before.D.He became a published author.5.What kind of person is Carl?A.Caring.B.Emotional.C.Stubborn.D.Cautious.6.What message does Carl want to convey?A.Reading makes a rich man.B.Reading is the journey of the soul.C.Reading makes a person better known.D.Readingopens up new opportunities.7.What is the best title for the text?A.A strong desire for college B.A wish for better education C.A wise friend D.A wise book C Imagine that youare a superhero.Your superpowers are activated by a special suit.The suit communicates with your brain.It allows you to do amazing things with only a thought.By concentrating on strength,for example,you can kick a soccer ball across a field.By focusing on swift actions,you can jump to the top of a tree.Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy.To scientists,though,it is a very real goal.They are creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk.These machines may soon help disabled humans do the same.Unlike other bionic devices,these robotic“super suits”do not communicate with muscles and nerves.Instead,they have a direct line to the brain.In 2005,doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hutchinson,who had lost her right arm in an accident.Then they inserted a sensor onto her motor cortex(大脑皮层运动区).Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her head.After she recovered,researchers pluggedHutchinsons receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain to computers.Then they connected a robotic arm to the computers.The computerscould interpretHutchinsons brain signals to move the arm.Soon,Hutchinson,the computer,and the robotic arm became a team.Hutchinsonwas even able to lift her hand and drink from a cup.“She smiled when she put down that drinkthats everything.”says Donoghue,a brain scientist.Today other scientists are building on that success.One of those scientists is Dr.Miguel Nicolelis,who designed a whole-body bionic equipment.In 2014,a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World Cup Games wearing one of Miguels full-body exoskeletons.The exoskeleton was connected to brain signal sensors in the mans cap.By thinking about kicking,he sent signals to a computer on his back.The computer then translated the signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick.Such designs may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.8.Which can best describe the tone of paragraph 1?A.Narrative and serious.B.Persuasive and critical.C.Informative and objective.D.Descriptive and imaginative.9.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Reason of the experiment.B.Results of the experiment.C.Process of the experiment.D.Significance of the experiment.10.Why is Dr.Miguels exoskeleton special?A.It can be used on animals.B.It can move the whole body.C.It was supported by computers.D.It was connected directly to the brain.11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Robotic suits may be widely used to help disabled people.B.Exoskeleton is more common thanHutchinsons bionic arm.C.Scientific experiments are commonly carried out in football fields.D.Disabled athletes can now play football again with the help of computer.D Smart speakers have proven to be handy devices in hospitals,allowing patients to control independently.And now,researchers from theUniversityofWashingtonhave developed an artificial intelligence system that enables these devices to monitor heartbeats.Using technology to remotely monitor heart rates isnt new.These days most smartwatches and fitness trackers are capable of it.The good thing here is that researchers have figured out a way to use the microphones in smart speakers to do it without requiring physical contact.In a study published inCommunications Biology,the researchers had the smart speakers send out signals that couldnt be heard which were then reflected off a persons body.They then analyzed these signals to identify small chest wall motions related to heartbeats,as well as separate those signals from surrounding noise and breathing.For this particular proof of concept setup,the researchers tested this smart speaker on 26 healthy participants and 24 hospitalized patients with various heart conditions,including atrial fibrillation（心房颤动）and heart failure.In both cases,the smart speaker was within 28-30 milliseconds of an ECG（心电图）,the gold standard used in hospitals to discover arrhythmia（心律不齐）.Like smartwatches with advanced heart features,using smart speakers in this way opens up the possibility for passive,remote heart monitoring.ECGs,while highly accurate,require a visit to the doctor and several electrodes（电极）to be placed on the body.They,re not capable of continuous monitoring so youre limited to what it picks up at that exact moment in time one reason why heart arrhythmia can be so hard to discover.Smartwatches are capable of passive,remote,continuous monitoring,but they require you to wear the device at all times to be effective.Its not something thats comfortable for everyone,especially when it comes to sleep and for those with highly sensitive skin.Another issue is that these advanced smartwatches are expensive,while smart speakers are much cheaper.“If you have a device like this,you can monitor a patient on an extended basis and then develop corresponding care plans that satisfy the patient s needs,“said Dr.Arun Sridhar,co senior author on the study.And the beauty of using this kind of devices is that they are already in peoples homes.”12.What does the author focus on in Paragraph 3?A.How the smart speaker works.B.Why the smart speaker is useful.C.The advantages of smart speakers.D.The importance of the study.13.Why is heart arrhythmia difficult to find?A.ECGs are not highly accurate.B.ECGs cant monitor continuously.C.Doctors know little about heart arrhythmia.D.An ECG test is hard to operate and expensive.14.Which statement best explains the characteristics of smartwatches?A.They are comfortable to wear.B.They are friendly to sensitive skin.C.They are effective and cheap.D.They are able to monitor remotely.15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.We need to invent more smart devices.B.Care plans are vital to patients with heart failure.C.Smart speakers could be contactless heart monitors.D.Different devices are needed to meet patients,demands.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
