2022年高考英语二轮复习模拟试卷（第九套）

第一部分  阅读理解（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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Smart AI Hand

Getting through daily life without the use of one’s hand can be quite difficult. While prosthetic(假体的) hands have seen great progress over the years, a new smart prosthetic hand built by BrainRobotics is attractive. The hand is powered by an AI software that allows it to “learn” from its user. The hand is still being tested, but one tester is able to successfully play a song on the piano with the hand. The hand is expected to cost somewhere between $10,000 and $15,000, which is cheaper with the use of 3D printing. It allows each hand to be printed to fit the user.

LightSail 2

The fuel not only takes up space on the spacecraft, but also increases its weight, making it more expensive to launch. But a new type of spacecraft, the LightSail 2 satellite, could end this problem by using the thrust(推力) of photons(光子) bouncing off the spacecraft to sail through space. It takes advantage of the thrust and needs little to no fuel to move through space. LightSail 2 will return to Earth in one year.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold

Lenovo has introduced a laptop that can be folded up like a book. You can use it anytime and anywhere if you want to. It can also be held like a traditional laptop. It can be held flat, just as you would hold a tablet, or folded like a book when you’re lying in bed. It has already been on the market.

Meal Delivery Robot

Food delivery workers have hard jobs. Can robots do the same job? US company Postmates has designed a meal delivery robot called Serve. With two eyes and four wheels, it can drive down footways thanks to the cameras inside it. Still, a human driver can control it remotely if there are any problems. The company has begun testing the robot in some parts of San Francisco, the US.

1. What makes BrainRobotics’ prosthetic hands have a lower price?

A. 3D printing.   B. Less testing.    C. Solar power.    D. AI software.

2. LightSail 2 is different from other spacecraft in that           .

A. it takes up large space       B. it uses the thrust of photons

C. it is more expensive to launch     D. it can return to Earth in a short time

3. What do the four inventions have in common?

A. They are all powered by the sun.      B. They are too expensive for ordinary people.

C. They show the development of technology.    D. They will be on the market in the near future.

B

Thomas Barratt once was called “the father of modern advertising”. Working for the Pears Soap company, Barratt created an effective advertising campaign for the company products, which involved the use of targeted slogans, images and phrases. Actually, modern advertising grew rapidly during the 19th century, as the economy expanded.

In 1836, French newspaper La Presse was the first to include paid advertising in its pages, allowing it to lower its price, extend its readership and increase its profitability and it was soon copied by other newspapers. Around 1840, Volney Palmer established the roots of the modern advertising agency in Philadelphia. In 1842 Palmer bought large amounts of space in various newspapers at a discounted rate and then resold the space at higher rates to advertisers.

The situation changed when the first full-service advertising agency, N.W. Ayer & Son, was founded in 1869 in Philadelphia. N.W. Ayer & Son offered to plan, create, and promote complete advertising campaigns for its customers. By 1900 the advertising agency had become the point of creative planning, and advertising was firmly established as a profession. Meanwhile, in France, Charles Havas extended the services of his news agency to include advertisement business, making it the first French group to organize.

At the turn of the 20th century, advertising was one of the few career choices for women. Since women were responsible for most household purchasing done, advertisers and agencies recognized the value of women’s insight during the creative process. In fact, the first American advertising to use a gender sell was created by a woman — for a soap product. Although it was dull by today’s standards, the advertisement featured a couple with the message “A skin you love to touch”.

In the 1920s psychologists Walter D. Scott and John B. Watson contributed applied psychological theory to the field of advertising.

4. What do we know about Volney Palmer from the second paragraph?

A. He was the first to charge for advertising.     B. He wrote advertisements for many companies.  

C. He earned money by selling space in newspapers.   D. He began to advertise some products in newspapers.

5. When did the advertising agency begin to create ads for its customers?

A. In 1869.     B. In 1840.     C. In 1842.     D. In 1836.

6. What message was conveyed in the first ad created by a woman?

A. The soap product built up women’s body.    B. The soap product promoted women’s creation.

C. The soap product was intended for smart women.   D. The soap product was of great benefit to users’ skin.

7. What can be the best title for the text?

A. The growth of modern advertising      B. The father of modern advertising

C. The wisdom in a modern ad       D. The ads made in the 20th century

C

The next time you see fog, you can say “It’s cloudy outside!” instead of “It’s foggy outside!” Why? Because fog is just a regular cloud that happens to be close to the ground rather than high up in the air.

So how does fog get down here close to the earth? Does a strong wind blow a cloud out of the sky down to the surface of the earth? Not quite…

Basically, fog forms when warm air meets colder air. When this happens, water vapor in the air — a gas — is cooled enough for the gas to turn into a liquid in the form of tiny water droplets. This process is called “condensation”. As the air heats up again, fog will slowly disappear as the tiny water droplets once again return to a gas in the form of water vapor.

There are four main types of fog. Radiation fog occurs when the ground radiates heat outward while the air above the ground begins to cool after the sun sets.

Advection(平流) fog occurs when warm air moves in over a cooler land surface. This happens often along coastlines, for example, when warm ocean breezes blow in over cooler land.

Upslope fog occurs when warm air passes over the upward slope of a cool mountain. As the elevation(海拔) increases, the mountain cools the air quickly, causing condensation and fog.

Evaporation fog occurs when extra water vapor comes into contact with air that is already heavily saturated(饱和的). Because the air can only hold so much water vapor, adding extra water vapor from evaporation, such as from a lake in the hot sun, can cause the air to reach the dew point(露点) and form fog.

While it can be neat to see fog, it can also be hazardous. When fog is very thick and near the ground, it can reduce visibility to only a few feet, making driving in the fog particularly dangerous.

8. According to the passage, fog is actually           .

A. vapor     B. cloud     C. smoke     D. radiation

9. In what condition is fog likely to occur?

A. When warm air meets colder air.

B. When tiny water droplets return to a gas.

C. When water on the surface is heated into vapor.

D. When a strong wind blows a cloud down to the surface of the earth.

10. When you stand on the top of a mountain and see the fog below you, it’s probably           .

A. radiation fog    B. advection fog   C. upslope fog    D. evaporation fog

11. The underlined word “hazardous” in the last paragraph probably means           .

A. uncertain    B. inconvenient   C. irregular    D. unsafe

D

Students searching for college scholarships will quickly notice an important theme in many scholarship applications and their requirements. Organizations offering scholarships always require students to share what type of community service and volunteer projects in which they have taken part.

Students applying late in their senior year of high school and who have not made the time to volunteer regularly might show up at a soup kitchen a few times hoping their work will impress scholarship judges enough to be picked to win scholarship money. Unfortunately, these types of last minute “get it done” efforts show an inclination to procrastinate(拖延倾向) and a lack of time management skills. When it comes to volunteering and college scholarships, quality vs. quantity is what scholarship judges are searching for.

Quality volunteer work begins well before college scholarship applications are searched for, filled out, and handed in. Early in a student’s high school career charitable(慈善的) projects with some sort of personal meaning should be explored. Students can show leadership skills by finding a need in their communities and creating their own charitable projects. They become the “founder”, “creator” or “organizer” of the project, which is highly impressive to scholarship judges.

Scholarship judges can easily tell the difference between the student who has spent few hours in community service and the one who has spent time truly making a difference in his or her community.

When students have volunteered for the same organization for a long period of time, they build strong relationships with the adults in leading roles. This puts students in an excellent position to ask for letters of recommendation for both scholarships and college applications. Quality letters of recommendation come from adults that can provide information including personal stories and a sincere wish to see the student succeed.

Volunteer service often sends students a spirit of volunteerism that will benefit others, impress scholarship judges, and create fine citizens who will go on to do great things in life.

12. When applying for college scholarships,           .

A. taking part in group activities is necessary   

B. grades are the first and most important requirement

C. good characters and appearance are very important 

D. taking part in the voluntary service plays an important role

13. Applicants who try to do voluntary work at the last minute           .

A. have good time management skills    B. are more likely to get the scholarship money

C. fail to be highly impressive to scholarship judges D. will know more about the importance of volunteering

14. Who is more likely to impress scholarship judges?

A. John who behaves very well as a monitor.

B. Grimm who starts a business and learns at the same time.

C. Alice who gets full A’s in the subjects but has no volunteer service.

D. Mark who founds a non-profit organization aiming to help the disabled.

15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Volunteerism comes from teamwork.    B. Doing voluntary work has many benefits.

C. Volunteering gives a sense of achievement.   D. Volunteering encourages people to do great things.

If you make a list of the world’s top ten most challenging jobs, chances are that being a teacher will not be included among them. But what millions of educators are facing each day is really challenging when they attempt to change a group of kids difficult to educate into intelligent, well-rounded individuals.   16 

Unfortunately, we seldom pay enough attention to these all-important individuals in daily life.   17   That was what Project Ed and Participant Media’s teaching campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to film for their recent activity.

The theme of this activity was A World Without Teachers, which was to inspire more young people to become teachers.   18   They reminded us of how serious things would be if we didn’t have these selfless teachers guiding us through life. We needed someone to tell us what to do.

  19   A high-school student Savannah Wakefield showed what art would be without teachers in the world. Los Angeles-based Miles Horst, who won the 1,000 USD prize for his best work in the adult group, imagined a world where teachers were replaced by a “brain box” in his fun lively entry.

Marina Braham also described a fact we all know but often forget. Teachers don’t just teach.   20   So the next time when you think your teacher is being “mean” for trying to guide you in the right direction, imagine a life without teachers. We feel it not optimistic when they disappear!

A. What else is more important than teaching?

B. Students shared the same idea in the video.

C. But what if they disappeared from our lives?

D. We even would rather that teachers disappeared.

E. That surely has to be the toughest job in the world!

F. Sixty-two amazing videos were shown in the activity.

G. They can educate students on something that no electronic device can do!
