If you do survive the tough hike and uncomfortably high altitude, you’ll discover a breathtaking natural wonder: thick rainbow stripes seemingly painted into the mountainside, thanks to artfully placed mineral deposits over millions of years.Seven Colored Earths in Chamarel, MauritiusVolcanic activity on the island of Mauritius, off the African coast, has resulted in some unusually vivid sand dunes(沙丘). The various colors of this geological curiosity inspired the nickname Terres de Sept Couleurs, or Seven Colored Earths, in this former French colony. It’s become a popular destination for visitors not just for its aesthetic allure, but also because of its mysterious resilience: the dunes appear unaffected by erosion.Zhangye Danxia Landform in Gansu, ChinaBefore the Rainbow Mountain of Peru was discovered, the Zhangye Danxia Landform in China was the world’s most famous multicolored mountain range. Located in a geological park of the same name, in the province of Gansu, the Zhangye Danxia Landform—made of cretaceous sand stones and silt stones colored with mineral deposits—has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site..Painted Desert in Petrified Forest National Park, ArizonaOne of the legendary kicks you’ll get on a road trip through Route 66 is a tour of the technicolor Painted Desert in Arizona’ Petrified Forest near the southeastern rim of the Grand Canyon. The desert got its name from its unique terrain, a combination of sediments from sandstone, clay, volcanic ash, and other geological materials that project a kaleidoscope（万花筒） of colors including lavender, red, orange, and pink. 21. If Tom is an adventurer, which scenic spot is he most likely to choose?A. Rainbow Mountain B. Seven Colored EarthsC. Zhangye Danxia Landform D. Painted Desert22. What can we learn about Seven Colored Earths in Chamarel, Mauritius?A. It is located in Asia.B. It is governed by France.C. It is a consequence of volcanic activity.D. It seems that erosion has great effects on the dunes here. 23. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. All of the four scenic spots are colorful natural wonders.B. All of the four scenic spots are in the same continent.C. Both Zhangye Danxia Landform and Painted Desert are located in parks.D. Both Rainbow Mountain and Zhangye Danxia Landform are famous multicolored mountain ranges.BMany years ago, when we were a young couple with two small children, aged 2 and 4, we were practically impecunious. My in-laws lived from hand to mouth, so we didn't expect any help from them. My parents lived a great distance away, and I was too ashamed to let them know about our situation.My husband was trying to earn a living with an old pick-up truck, carrying groceries for local shopkeepers, but it was constantly breaking down. It took almost all the money we had to have it fixed. The truck was also the only means of transportation for us.We lived in the countryside, and we always used the back door because the driveway led to it. One winter evening, I stepped outside to take a bag of trash to the barrel and almost tripped over something. It was nearly dark, and I had to bend down to see what it was. I could hardly believe my eyes. There sat a large basket loaded with food.It was heavy, so I called to my husband to carry into the house. Once inside, we discovered two loaves of bread, some butter, several cans of vegetables, a can of orange sauce, and a large turkey. There was so much that I can't remember it all, but it was everything we needed to fix a wonderful dinner—everything except potatoes.A little while later I remembered that I hadn't taken the trash to the barrel. By now it was dark, so I had to turn on the yard light —and that's when I spotted a small bag of potatoes sitting on the porch.That dinner was the best I can remember.We weren't able to thank our donators, though, because we never found out who had been so generous in helping a struggling young family. Whoever it was, we are forever grateful.24. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "impecunious" in Paragraph 1? A. adequate. B. penniless. C. harmonious.

Those are a few of the countless new products expected to be shown next week at CES, the annual tech conference that typically sets the tone for the biggest trends of the year. Home automation（自动化）, health and 5G will once again be hot topics, but many companies will also introduce pandemic-specific features to reflect our increased time at home.Each year, reporters, exhibitors and investors typically explore Las Vegas showrooms filled with giant TVs, smart cars and robots, but CES will be online only for the first time in its 54-year history due to Covid-19.The Consumer Technology Association, the nonprofit behind the four-day event starting Monday, said 1,800 exhibitors from around the world will fill its "digital venue" this year—a number that's down significantly from 4,000 in-person exhibitors last year. The move will allow tech companies from countries which have never attended before to take part in the online exhibition, but could also make it harder for smaller companies to get noticed without a physical showroom.Registered attendees will be able to stream and re-watch keynotes from companies such as Verizon (VZ) and General Motors (GM), tune in to breakout sessions -- about how, for example, technology is playing a role in vaccine deployment（疫苗的应用）—and search through a registry of exhibitors to watch new product presentations.It'll lack some of the signature ingredients（因素）of the trade show, such as hands-on time with the latest small machines and networking. But the technology that makes our lives more connected and convenient will still gain popularity. What are the new products mainly connected with?A.The popularity of 5G. B.Countless houseworkC.People’s daily life. D.Everyday busy work. 29.What do we know about the tech conference?A.It attracts fewer exhibitors this year. B.It takes place every two years. C.It is usually held on the Internet. D.It prohibits small companies to attend.30.What’s the author’s attitude towards the move?A. Disappointed. B. Doubtful. C. Ambiguous. D. Supportive.31.Where are the text possibly from?A. A brochure. B. A textbook. C. A guidebook. D.A newspaper. DEveryone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose – to make a call? Telephone culture is disappearing. What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects?“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on The Atlantic. “The reflex (习惯性动作) of answering –built so deeply into people who grew up in 20th-century telephonic culture – is gone.” The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: Texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction gifs, links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option. Texting is light and fun, not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with multiple people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.  In recent years, another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocalls are automated (自动化的) messages from organizations verifying (核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion, slightly below 2018 numbers, according to YouMail, a robocall protection service and blocking app.As telephone culture disappears, what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit? Early landline phones united family members, whereas mobile phones isolate (使隔绝) them. “The shared family phone served as an anchor (给以安全感的物品) for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. With smartphones, “we have gained mobility and privacy. But the value of the home has been diminished, as has its ability to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps bond families more closely together,” Fernandez said.Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its appeal according to the text?A. People’s addiction to social media. B. People’s preference for robocalls. C. People’s growing need for privacy. D. People’s wide range of communication choices.What does the underlined word “diminished” in the second-to-last paragraph probably mean?Strengthened B. Reduced. C. Instructed. D. Enriched.34. What does Luke Fernandez point out?A. Smart phones tie families together.B. Smart phones help people monitor family behavior.C. The use of mobile phones has affected family bonds.D. The value of home depends on how phones are used.35.What does the article mainly talk about?A. The downfall of traditional telephone culture. B. The past and future of telephones.C. The development of communication tools.D. The relation between phone use and family bonds.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。The Greeks and Romans named most of the planets in the solar system after particular gods, and we have kept those names in English. Uranus and Neptune, unknown in classical times, were named by the modern astronomers who discovered them, but still after Greek and Roman gods. _____36_____.高二统考英语 第6页 （共8页）The word “earth” has roots in the Old English term “eorþe”. Eorþe had multiple meanings like “soil”, “dirt”, “ground”, “dry land” and “country”. Old English, used until about 1150, is the earliest known phase of what became our modern English tongue. _____37_____. Old English evolved from a parent language that scholars call “Proto-Germanic”.German that's spoken today is part of the same linguistic(语言学的) family. “Earth” and “eorþe” are therefore related to the modern German word “Erde”. Not only is this the German language’s name for our home planet, but it can also be used to refer to dirt and soil._____38_____. For example, there’s the Old Saxon “ertha”, the Old Frisian “erthe” and the Dutch word “aarde”. All these likely come from a Proto-Germanic term that was never recorded, as far as we know._____39_____. But if a single person gave planet Earth its English name – which is unlikely – his or her identity has been lost to the sands of time.Still, it’s clear that while Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all started out as the proper names of ancient gods, “Earth” did not. ____40______.Yet the story didn’t begin thereB. However, Earth is the one exceptionC. That’s why our planet is sometimes called “the earth” with a lowercase(小写的) “e”D. “Earth” has relatives in some other languages, tooE. You may wonder which god or goddess Earth is named afterF. Since it’s not clear how Earth was namedG. Nobody knows when people started using words like “Earth” or “Erde” to refer to our planet第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。As a “valued customer”, which is better than being a “customer nobody cares about”, I can’t go to the store to buy a toothbrush without being asked to fill in a survey.

The overuse of phones is likely to cause problems between teenagers and their parents. Here is my opinion on how to deal with such  conflicts caused by phone addiction.First of all, it is important and necessary for us to talk with our parents and set rules on how to use our phones. Once reached, the agreement has to be strictly executed. Only in this way can we prevent any unpleasantness from happening. Being more active and participating in more activities will also help reduce our reliance on phones. Last but not least, we can resort to professionals for an effective approach to free us from our phone dependence,  if necessary.  No matter what approach we use, we have to realize that it is our parents who we should always trust and depend on in life.
