(2020 课标全国Ⅲ)
When “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”was first shown to the public last month, a group of
excited animal activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. But they weren't there to throw red paint on
fur-coat-wearing film stars. Instead, one activist, dressed in a full-body monkey suit, had arrived with a
sign praising the filmmakers:“Thanks for not using real apes(猿)!”
The creative team behind“Apes”used motion-capture(动作捕捉)technology to create digitalized
animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actor's performance and later
processes it with computer graphics to create a final image(图像). In this case, one of a realistic-looking
ape.
Yet “Apes” is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals
lately. One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment of animals in filmed entertainment, is
keeping tabs on more than 2,000 productions this year. Already, a number of films, including “Water
for Elephants,” “The Hangover Part Ⅱ”and “Zookeeper,” have drawn the anger of activists who
say the creatures acting in them haven't been treated properly.
In some cases, it's not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists
worried; it's the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions
about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions
filmed in the States.
1.Why did the animal activists gather on Hollywood Boulevard?
A.To see famous film stars.
B.To oppose wearing fur coats.
C.To raise money for animal protection.
D.To express thanks to some filmmakers.
2.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The cost of making “Apes.”
B.The creation of digitalized apes.
C.The publicity about “Apes.”
D.The performance of real apes.
3.What does the underlined phrase “keeping tabs on” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Listing completely.
B.Directing professionally.
C.Promoting successfully.
D.Watching carefully.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors?
A.They may be badly treated.
B.They should take further training.
C.They could be traded illegally.
D.They would lose popularity.

(2020 为明教育集团高三第一次调研)
It's cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like
such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.
According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill (跑步
机), burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate its core temperature. Furthermore,
research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures—and quicker runs
burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through
the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.
Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up
every day. The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is
refreshing. It adjusts yourself to surroundings, making you feel alive.
Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart
attacks, strokes, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air
pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days,
take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust (废气), and go early in the morning, before
rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.
5.What does the underlined word “regulate” mean in the second paragraph?
A.Adjust. B.Decrease.
C.Let out. D.Hold back.
6.How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?
A.They can run more slowly.
B.They can take in more calories.
C.Their hearts can become stronger.
D.Their body temperature can get lower.
7.How does summer affect runners?

Corn is among the most commonly consumed grains on the planet. Globally, the average human
will consume 70 pounds of corn each year! That's a whole lot of corn that needs to be grown each year,
and that's not even accounting for corn being grown for animal consumption and biofuel. Just like many
other popular foods, farmers are finding it difficult to get enough corn produced.
Of course, complicating matters is the fact that corn is a tropical(热带的) plant, meaning farmers
can't produce it during the colder months of the year. Now, researchers from Cornell University's Boyce
Thompson Institute have developed their own solution:a new variation of corn that recovers much more
quickly after being exposed to cold temperatures.
Lead researcher David Stern, president of the Boyce Thompson Institute, and his team made this
incredible breakthrough by building on research originally published two years ago. That study had
discovered that increasing the levels of an enzyme(酶) called Rubisco in plants caused them to grow
more rapidly and reach larger sizes. Rubisco helps plants turn atmospheric carbon dioxide(CO2) into
sugar. Regarding corn specifically, Rubisco levels in corn drop considerably in cold weather.
This time, the research team planted a large group of corn plants, and provided a portion of the
group with more Rubisco. Then, they allowed all the plants to grow for three weeks at 77 degrees
Fahrenheit (normal growing temperature for corn) before dropping the temperature to 57 degrees
Fahrenheit for two more weeks. Finally, they heated things up back again to 77 degrees.
“The corn with more Rubisco performed better than regular corn before, during and after
chilling(冷却),” explains first author Coralie Salesse-Smith.“In fact, we were able to reduce the
severity of chilling stress and allow for a more rapid recovery.”
All in all, the corn with more Rubisco was able to recover from the colder temperatures more
quickly and with less damage done. The Rubisco corn plants grew to be taller. These results are very
promising. However, Stern and his team say they're still working on improving their approach.
9.What makes the research particularly necessary according to the text?
A.The great climate change.
B.Lack of heat-tolerant corn.
C.The large demand for corn.
D.Corn's insensitivity to climate.
10.What did the researchers do during the study?
A.They made those corn plants resist Rubisco.
B.They assessed corn plants' ability to absorb CO2.
C.They removed all the chilling stress on corn plants.
D.They exposed corn plants to different temperatures.
11.What should the researchers think of the corn plant they developed?
A.It has functioned well in solving global starvation.
B.It is qualified enough to be grown around the world.
C.It recovers from the colder temperatures more slowly.
D.It isn't yet completely perfect for chilling tolerance.
12.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Much More Corn Plants Are Badly Needed
B.Corn Plants Aren't Sensitive to Cold Weather
C.Scientists Have Developed Cold-resistant Corn
D.Tropical Corn Is Going to Become History Soon
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。来自康奈尔大学博伊斯·汤普森研究所的研究人员研发出一种
新的玉米品种。它暴露在低温环境后恢复得更快。
9.C 推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知,玉米的消耗量很大,而第二段指出普通的玉米在寒冷的
季节又无法生产。由此可推断,对玉米需求量大使这项关于培育新品种玉米的研究显得尤其必要。
10.D 细节理解题。 根据第四段“Then, they allowed all the plants to grow for three weeks at 77
degrees Fahrenheit(normal growing temperature for corn) before dropping the temperature to 57 degrees
Fahrenheit for two more weeks. Finally, they heated things up back again to 77 degrees.”可知,研究人
员将玉米植株暴露在不同的温度下。
11.D 推理判断题。 根据最后一段可推断,他们可能认为他们研发出来的玉米植株的耐寒性还不
够完美。
12.C 主旨大意题。 通读全文,尤其是文章第二段的“Now, researchers from Cornell University's
Boyce Thompson Institute have developed their own solution:a new variation of corn that recovers much
more quickly after being exposed to cold temperatures.”可知,本文主要讲述的是:科学家研发出了一
种耐寒的玉米品种。

Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question:“Should
I jump?”This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides
of the same coin. 1 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
2 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to
evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc.
Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it
is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. 3 So,
slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity (清晰) of thoughts can help you
move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in
mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. 4 They also need to be
measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but
can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 5 You should reassess your goals, and
motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You
cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the
time of setting your goals.
A.This can affect your work.
B.So how should you motivate yourself?
C.However, this should not discourage you.
D.So why should we try to set specific goals?
E.They can change according to circumstances.
F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G.Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.

[语篇解读] 本文是说明文。主题语境是人与自我,主题语境内容为认识自我,完善自我。文章从
介绍动机和目标开始,告诉我们如何确立正确的动机和目标对我们更有益。本文旨在培养学生科
学认识自我、激励自我、辩证看待问题、合理解决问题的能力。
1.G 过渡句。句意:若没有动机,你既不能设定目标,也不能达成目标。由设空处上句话 Motivation
and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin.(动机和目标的设定是一件事情的两个方面。)可知,
动机是很重要的。根据设空处下句 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.可知,
中间需要加一个表示转折的句子:若没有动机……。故选 G。
2.B 主旨句。句意:那么,你应该如何激励自己呢?该题中,设空处位于文章第二段开头,可能会是该
段的主旨句。设空处后面的 how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal 也是引出该段话题或
是对主旨句的进一步说明。另根据句子结构一致的原则,可找到与此问句结构一致的选项 B:So
how should you motivate yourself?故选 B。
3.A 过渡句。句意:这可能会影响你的工作。根据设空处前面的句子 There are times when your
heart is not in your work.(有时你的心会不在你的工作上。)可知,接下来会说这样做的后果(影响你
的工作)。设空处后面介绍正确的做法。故选 A。
4.E 细节句。句意:它们可以根据情况来改变。设空处前面的句子提到 Remember that goals are
flexible.(要记得目标是灵活的。),接下来可能会接着解释它们会改变。选项 E 中的 They 与上句话
中的 goals 指代一致。故选 E。
5.C 过渡句。句意:然而,这不应该使你泄气。由设空处上句话中的 you may want to be a pilot but
can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough(你可能想成为一名飞行员,但因为你的视
力不够好而不能成为一名飞行员)可知,接下来会告诉我们解决这个问题的办法。根据设空处下句
话中的 You should reassess your goals(你应该重新评估你的目标)可知,选 C 项。

①考查非谓语动词。句意:现在我的梦想是开一家咖啡馆。不定式符号后用动词原形,故改成 open。
②考查时态。此处强调的是一个客观事实,故用一般现在时态。
③考查形容词。 句中 cafe 是名词,需要用形容词来修饰。
④考查非谓语动词。句意:我想要我的咖啡馆有一个特殊的主题,例如“唐朝”。want sb./sth. to do
sth.想要某人或某物做某事。

A Fantastic Trip
答案
A Fantastic Trip
This summer I took a snorkelling trip to the undersea world, which turned out to be extremely
fantastic.
The first thing I became aware of was all the vivid colors surrounding me—purples, reds, oranges,
yellows and blues. Seeing such extraordinary beauty, I found my heart beating wildly and every cell in
my body waking up. I began to explore the fantastic corals where all kinds of neat and elegant fish were
swimming. Suddenly, I caught sight of an eel with its head showing how from a hole to watch for tasty
food. I felt scared to death and fled away.
Exposed in such deep clear water, I found my trip awesome!
