2020年廣東省梅州市高考英語模擬試卷（6月份）

第二部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分）第一節(jié) （共4小題；每小題6分，滿分30分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項．

• 1．My first week in the United States was a cultural shock．Everything felt new to me，including the style of conversation，the community I lived in and even the type of food people ate．
     In our community back home，people eat mutton and chicken．Pork and beef are also common among other communities，but eating beef is taken as an illegal act．Unlike Nepal，eating beef is common in the West where most of the people follow religions other than Hinduism．
     Food is just an example．When people move from one part of the world to another，they should adapt（適應(yīng)） themselves to the new culture．For example，going to the bars or getting drunk is not acceptable in my community，but it is common in the US after a certain age．
     I was raised in a traditional Hindu family in Nepal．We have a conservative（保守的） opinion towards marriage．Arranged marriages（包辦婚姻） are common in which families decide whether the two should get married．Free love marriages are not allowed and are seldom seen．Same-sex marriage is also considered impossible．
     To me，culture is a matter of habit．The culture is so deep-rooted in people's minds that most people are against changes．It is always easy for them to do what they have been doing throughout their life．It may be difficult for anyone to adapt to a new culture．
     However，with travel being an unavoidable thing for modern people，one always comes across different cultures．In such cases，one should be respectful and adaptive to the culture other people follow．The world is always a better place to live in when we have spaces for people of all cultures．
  
  （1）What does the Nepal law forbid people to eat？

  
  A．Pork．
  B．Beef．
  C．Chicken．
  D．Mutton．
  （2）What can we learn from the passage？

• 2．Since the county season began on 8 April with the first round of Championship matches，the England Cricket Board（英格蘭板球委員會）has been considering the use of COVID-19 passports once crowds are again allowed into grounds to watch the matches.
     Games will be played in front of empty stands until at least 17 May，when grounds will be allowed to fill up to 25% capacity，due to necessary social distancing.The ECB is then exploring all possibilities to allow as many people through the gates as possible once most restrictions are lifted，in theory，on 21 June- though much will depend on government guidance and local authorities.
     "There has been a lot of talk，" said Neil Snowball，the ECB's managing director of county cricket. "We have gone from no passports to suddenly now looking at a COVID-19 certification.We will explore anything that enables us to get our audience back.At the moment it looks like that might happen."
     If you look at 21 June，it is going to be a question of balancing three things.One，if there is going to be some sort of passport or COVID-19 certification；second is testing；third is social distancing. "And we'll do whatever we are asked to do to make sure we can get the maximum number of people back." Neil Snowball added.
     "The ideal would be some sort of certification with an element of social distancing and probably masks." The ECB announced.A new law will be brought in this summer，which can make sure this proposal is carried out smoothly.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "capacity" refer to in paragraph 2？

  
  A．Seats.
  B．Viewers.

  D．Activities.
  （2）According to the passage，which of the following statements is right？

  
  A．Government has already lifted most of the restrictions on the games.

  C．At present，no audience is allowed to watch cricket games on the scene.
  D．The players will not need a COVID-19 certification or passport.
  （3）As for bringing audience back to the court，the Neil Snowbal's attitude is

  .
  A．a(chǎn)ggressive
  B．uncertain

• 3．What if there was a fire where you live？Would you know what to do？It's a good idea for families to talk about what they would do to escape from a fire.Depending on where you live，there may be different escape plans，so let's start there.
  Know Your Way Out
     An escape plan can help every member of a family get out of a burning house.The idea is to get outside quickly and safely.Smoke from a fire can make it hard to see where things are，so it's important to learn and remember the different ways out of your home.How many exits are there？How do you get to them from your room？It's a good idea to have your family draw a map of the escape plan.It's possible that one way out could be blocked by fire or smoke，so you had better know where other ones are.
  Safety Steps
     If you're in a room with the door closed when the fire breaks out，you need to take a few extra steps：
     ?Check to see if there's heat or smoke coming in the cracks around the door.
     ?If you see smoke coming under the door，don't open the door!
     ?If you don't see smoke，touch the door.If the door is hot or very warm，don't open it!
     ?If the door feels cool，and you can't see any smoke around the door，you can open the door very carefully and slowly.If there's still no smoke or heat when you open the door，go toward your escape route exit.
  
  （1）Why is it necessary to learn and remember different ways out of your home？

  
  A．There is only one way out in most homes.
  B．Maps may be hard to find in case of fire.
  C．It is difficult to see things in heavy smoke.
  D．Fire breaks out very often in some neighborhoods.
  （2）What is the next step if you don't see smoke coming under the door of your room？

  
  A．Go towards the exit.
  B．Keep cool and wait.
  C．Feel the temperature of the door.
  D．Open the door carefully and slowly.
  （3）What is the best title of the passage？

  
  A．The Dangers of Fire
  B．How to Prevent a Fire？
  C．Family Escape Plans
  D．What to Do in a Fire？

• 4．Almost everyone who has studied English has been warned about the way Brits love their manners.It is part of our national identity，as much as fish and chips or complaining about the weather.Recently I have been wondering where this comes from and I read on-line that we say "sorry" up to eight times a day，probably the same amount of times that any other person says "hello" or "how are you".It is almost like a greeting to us！It was only when I was explaining how there are five steps of saying "thank you" when you buy something from a shop of a Mexican friend of mine that I realized how mad it sounded.
     After some research，I have not been able to find any specific reasons why we are the way we are.I suppose for centuries manners of how we eat at the table and talk to other people have been the barriers between the lower and upper classes and represent your social status.Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative and reserved country.There are many articles suggesting that this seemingly polite attitude of always saying "please" and "thank you" is quite false because it is impossible to always feel that you want to thank someone or say "please".
     Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways：they are incredibly polite and hold back on their feelings or not polite at all，and express their true feelings.Some Brits are fed up with pretending that they are always content and having to please people.Sometimes because we feel we have to be polite，we are prevented from saying what we truly think.Some people feel that the hard truth is the best way to be polite.Do you think it is better to not hurt people's feelings and be polite or to let people know the truth？I know in some countries if someone is considered to be doing their job，the clients think that they do not need to be thanked.
  
  （1）What does the author think of the British way of saying "thank you"？

  
  A．It's normal.
  B．It's formal.
  C．It's exciting.
  D．It's surprising.
  （2）What does the author want to find out？

  
  A．Why the British care about their manners so much.
  B．Why the British like to complain about the weather.
  C．Why the British are fond of fish and chips so much.
  D．Why the British have five steps of saying "thank you".
  （3）What does the author think manners have stood for for centuries？

  
  A．Attitudes.
  B．Politeness.
  C．Social status.
  D．Wealth and health.
  （4）Why are the British unwilling to say what they think？

  
  A．They want to show their social status.
  B．They think that they have to be polite.
  C．They don't want to let people know the truth.
  D．They just don't want to express their true feelings.

• 5．Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock.In fact，the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock.（1）

  Here is how to make one.
     （2）

  In order to make a change，you need to decide why it's important.Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family，get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day？Once you are clear about your reason，tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
     Rethink mornings.Now that you know why you want to wake up，consider re-arranging your morning activities.If you want time to have breakfast with your family，save some time the night before by setting out clothes，shoes，and bags. （3）

  That's a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.
     Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends.If you're tired out by Friday night，sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful.But compensating（彌補）on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week，a recent study found.（4）

  
     Keep a record and evaluate it weekly.Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel.After you've tried a new method for a week，take a look at your record. （5）

  If not，take another look at other methods you could try.
  
  A.A better plan for sleep can help.
  B.If the steps you take are working，keep it up.
  C.Asleep expert.
  D.Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time，no matter the day.
  E.And consider setting a second alarm.
