宁波市2019年高考模拟考试英语试卷选择题部分第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分)第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题:每小题2.5分，满分25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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。AStephen Hillenburg the US animator whose childhood summers on a Maine island later inspired him to create the famous cartoon Sponge Bob SquarePants (《海绵宝宝》), passed away on Nov. 26 at the age of 57.Hillenburg was interested in the ocean as a child and developed a love for art. He studied Natural Resource Planning and Interpretation at college, with an emphasis on marine resources. “It dawned on me that if I was going to do a show on animals, I’d do a show about undersea animals--all the ones that I’m interested in and know a lot about,” Hillenburg told Enterlainrment Weekly in 2010. “I focused on the sponge because it’s one of the more special creatures.”But although he wasn’t sure whether people would like a cartoon about the ocean, he stuck with it. “We just try to make ourselves laugh, then ask if it’s appropriate for children,” Hillenburg told The Associated Press in 2001. “The essence (精华) of the show is that SpongeBob is an innocent in a world of worldly characters.”What Hillenburg probably didn’t expect was that the adventures of this “innocent” character in his underwater hometown would be such a success. There have been nearly 250 episodes to date. It has won several Emmy Awards, and has been shown in more than 60 languages.SpongeBob was popular because he appealed not only 10 children but to older viewers as well, including college students, who held viewing parties for the show. Children liked SpongeBob’s innocence, teenagers and young adults loved the show’s humor, while the more mature enjoyed it as part of meme culture. But it was above all the character’s innocence that attracted people.The show’s most important message, Hillenburg once said, “is that innocence prevails--which I don’t think it always does in real life”.21. What can we learn from the passage?A. Hillenburg created Sponge Bob SquarePants especially for children.B. Hllenburg was sure that Sponge Bob SquarePants would be a success at first.C. Hillenburg’s educational background contributed to Sponge-Bob SquarePants.D. Hillenburg’s childhood summers had nothing to do with Sponge Bob SquarePants.22. What makes Sponge-Bob SquarePants popular?A. It attracts children, adults and old people.B. It has won Emmy Awards for many times.C. It focuses on the innocence of SpongeBob.D. It is about very unusual undersea creatures.23. The underlined word in the last paragraph can be replaced by “          .”A. wins B. happens C. counts D. grows【答案】21. C    22. C    23. ABImagine you enter a car with no steering wheel, no brake or accelerator pedal (加速踏板)Under a voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it?” You say “yes” and you are on your way. The car responds and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is sit back and relax.How wonderful would I be if one day in the future, everyone had such a car? No crazy driving no cutting in; traffic laws would be respected and driving much safer. On the other hand,imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement (强制) and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets.There’s no question that self-driving vehicles could be an enormous benefit. The potential for safer cars means accident statistics e would drop. Older drivers and visually-or physically-disabled people would gin a new level of freedom. Maintaining safe speeds and being electric, self-driving cars would greatly reduce pollution levels and dependency on non-renewable fuels.But we must also consider the impact of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in May 2015 there were505,560 registered school bus drivers. The American Trucking Association lists approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the U.S.The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be cooperating with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for these people, many of whom will be replaced by the new technology This is similar to what's happening in the coal and oil industries, a situation that fuels much of the current political dissatisfaction in this country.New technologies will, and should, be developed. This is how society moves forward.However, progress can't be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the moral consequences of these potential changes to build a better future for all.24. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Drivers do not have to do anything to get the car started.B. Imagination plays an important role in developing new cars.C. Self-driving cars provide people with comfort and relaxation.D. Future cars are able to communicate freely with their owners.25. What would be the positive impact of self-driving cars?A. Local governments could save a lot of money.B. Disabled people could go anywhere they want.C. Traffic regulations would be a thing of the past.D. The environment would be totally free of pollution.26. What does the author advise businesses and the government to do?A. Keep pace with technological developments.B. Make new technologies affordable to everyone.C. Enable people to benefit from new technologies.D. Popularize the use of new technologies and devices.【答案】24. C    25. A    26. CCWhen we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a really cute kitten many of us want to squeeze it. Why is that?According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, it’s a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The experience results from the fight between the brain’s “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. Two of the groups of photos were of cute human babies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed(征服的). By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems.This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that people are overwhelmed by the experience of cuteness. But reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire to protect cute things.As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brain’s way of ‘bringing us back down’ by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.”Stavropoulos compared this process of balancing to an evolutionary adaptation. Such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creatures they consider particularly cute.So, although cute babies and adorable animals may look completely helpless, their vulnerable( 易受伤害的) appearance may in fact help them to survive.27. According to the text, “cute aggression” refers to        .A. the emotion of wanting to protect cute thingsB. the task of emotion system and reward systemC. the adaptation of consistently taking care of cute creaturesD. the behavior of squeezing a cute baby or animal when seeing it28. In nature, “cute aggression” is caused by         .A. the need of the brain to balance all feelingsB. the photos of cute human babies and animalsC. the vulnerable appearance of babies or animalsD. the conflict between emotion system and reward system29. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE?A. Facial expressions of the participants were observed.B. Katherine Stavropoulos conducted this study on her own.C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities of all the participants.D. The participants were divided into two groups in order to make comparison.30. What is the author's purpose in writing this text?A. To persuade readers to protect cute animals.B. To stress the significance of cute aggression.C. To present research findings on cute aggression.D. To share an interesting phenomenon with readers【答案】27. D    28. D    29. C    30.

At any moment in time, you can f6ll your headphones with the sounds of a particular song that suits your mood at that exact time.Music is so common. But have you realized the power of it? Are you getting ready for a big soccer match or do you need to get excited? Maybe some hip hop with a strong beat will do the trick! Besides, you might be ready to study for a big exam the next day. To help you study better,a little bit of Mozart might make you remember things better.We may all have been moved by particular songs that spoke to us in some situations. But is there any scientific evidence showing that music really has such effect on people? of course,there is! Scientists have long recognized the power of music. Over the years, many studies have been done to examine in greater depth the nature and extent of the elects music has on people.For example, scientists at the University of Missouri have found that listening to music can have positive effects on your mood. Their research gives scientific credibility(可靠性) to the behavior that many people have already experienced on their own: listening to upbeat music can brighten your day and boost your mood.Other studies have shown that upbeat music isn't the only type of music that can be helpful,however. When people are sad or have suffered a personal loss, sad music can be helpful because the tone and lyrics of the music can resonate (引起共鸣) with the listeners. Likewise,people under a lot of stress or experiencing upsetting situations can benefit from listening to angry music. Although angry music might not help you if you're in a normal mood, its tone can benefit you when you are dealing with stressful and upsetting situations.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】Nowadays, with modern devices, music to your taste is easily accessible. (要点一) Yet, is power, which might benefit you, is not fully realized. (要点二) Scientists have researched into the nature and extent of music's effects on humans.
