2021高考英语“典题”专项训练（十一）text 1Olympic host cities are generally considered to be equipped with advanced technology and expensive facilities. Now, people can just go there for a little Olympic-level entertainment.Athens, Greece (1896 and 2004)Home to the first modern Olympic games in 1896, Athens' history of the Olympic tradition dates back several thousand years. Every four years, the Olympic torch is lit at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens before beginning its long journey to the new host city. Visitors can walk through the Olympic Velodrome in the Olympic Sports Complex and step back in time at the 50,000-seat stadium.Barcelona, Spain(1992)These days Barcelona is among the world's most visitable cities even without Olympic fame, but that isn't always the case. The telecommunications tower built for the games by Spanish architect Calatrava is also an iconic(图像的） device of the city's skyline, and its Olympics stadium- Montjuic Stadium is regularly used to host A-list musical performances like The Rolling Stones, Madonna, and Beyonce.St Moritz, Switzerland(1924 and 1948)Appropriately, the town that invented Alpine tourism has hosted the Winter Olympics twice, and continues to make use of its many sports facilities-if you can afford to get there. Stay at the Kulm Hotel for the easiest access to the Kulm Country Club, where guests can skate on the same lake used by mid-century Olympians, or test your courage on the Olympia Bob Run, one of the few places where you can ride a full-speed Olympic bobsled(双人雪橇） on a run constructed entirely of ice.Sydney, Australia (2000)The turn-of-the-century Sydney Summer Olympics were named the "Green Games" by the International Olympic Committee (10C) and were designed to introduce a more environmentally conscious way of hosting the event. The structure that best shows Sydney's efforts to be an example of continuing Olympic development is the ANZ Stadium.1．Where does the host city get the Olympic torch lit?A．At the Panathenaic Stadium.B．At the Olympic Sports Complex.C．At the Montjuic Stadium.D．At the ANZ Stadium.2．Who will probably choose to visit St.Moritz?A．Those fond of ice-sports.B．Those fond of listening to opera.C．Those interested in popular music.D．Those interested in Olympic history.3．What's special about Sydney Olympic Games?A．Their designers are from Spain.B．They are thought poorly of by the IOC．C．They are hosted in an environmentally friendly way.D．Their design intention is proposed by Sydney authority.text 2 Do you believe in the power of music? If you’re like most kids these days, you probably have an electronic device loaded with hundreds or even thousands of your favorite songs. At any moment in time, you can fill your headphones with the sounds of a particular song that suits your mood at that exact time.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 calm your nerves and help you concentrate, a little bit of Mozart might make memorization more manageable.But is there any scientific evidence of these effects that music seems to have? You bet there is! Scientists have long recognized the power of music. Over the years, many studies have been conducted to examine in greater depth the nature and extent of the effects music has on people.For example, scientists at the University of Missouri have found that listening to music can have a positive effect on your mood. Their research gives scientific credibility(可信性) 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 people identify with the tone and lyrics(歌词) of the music. 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.4.What does the author mainly show in Paragraph 1?A.The importance of having an electronic device.B.The great number of songs on the Internet.C.The benefits of choosing a song suiting your mood.D.The convenience of finding a song suiting your mood.5.According to the passage, what is the power of Mozart?A.Making you less active.B.Keeping you more refreshed.C.Making you more focused.D.Keeping you better informed.6.Which of the following best explains the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 4?A.Predict.   B.Improve.   C.Express.   D.Ruin.7.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Only upbeat music can brighten our day.B.People will feel sad when identifying with the lyrics.C.Everyone can benefit from listening to angry music.D.Different music functions differently in different situations.text 3 It is becoming more and more important for researchers to closely observe our sea life, with climate change and overfishing damaging our oceans. However, this is almost impossible since human presence scares the animals. Now, thanks to The Soft Robotic Fish, also called SoFi, researchers may not only be able to keep a close eye on the creatures, but also uncover undersea secrets that have been confusing us for centuries.Built by MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the snow-white remote-controlled robot closely emulates real fish, complete with a flexible tail and two "fins". Though not the first autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) created to observe the oceans, SoFi solves many of the issues that have hindered (妨碍)the usefulness of previous robots.AUVs traditionally have had to be tied to a boat because radio frequency communications do not work well underwater. To solve the problem, CSAIL director Daniela Rus and her team used sound waves which can travel greater distances, allowing drivers using a waterproofed Super Nintendo controller to pilot SoFi from up to 50 feet away. To ensure SoFi can freely move around the ocean, a pump moves water from one balloon-like structure to the other through its soft rubber tail, while a controller fitted with a battery powers the robot through the ocean, unhindered by propellers (螺旋桨).During test dives in Fiji's Rainbow Reef, SoFi moved alongside the sea life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, taking high-resolution photos and videos. Even more importantly, it was able to do so without causing any disturbance. The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strange-looking robo- fish out of curiosity, while at other times they appeared completely unaware of its existence.While SoFi currently only records videos, future versions will include sensors. "For us, this fish is magical," says Rus. “We imagine someday it might help us uncover more mysteries from the amazing underwater world that we know so little about."8. Why was SoFi created?A. To protect fish from being caught.B. To stop oceans from being polluted.C. To learn about the underwater worldD. To solve the issues AUVs have found.9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “emulates” in Paragraph2?A. Feeds.           B. Catches.         C. Protects.            D. Imitates.10. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The development of AUVs.B. Working principles of SoFi.C. How AUVs are used underwater.D. SoFi's contribution to fish protection.11. What is the main advantage of SoFi?A. It will not scare real fish.B. It can record videos.C. It is equipped with sensors.D. It cannot be seen by real fish.text 4 A chance meeting between two men who realized they had both been abused in the same Surrey children's care home has led to a campaign that has seen hundreds of former residents claiming they were also victims of physical, emotional and sexual abuse.Music producer Raymond Stevenson, physically abused during his time at the Shirley Oaks home in the 70s, met a childhood friend last year who revealed he'd been abused in the institution. Within a few months, the Shirley Oaks Survivors Association （SOSA） was hundreds strong.“We have been in contact with over 300 people and the stories we are getting are just terrible," Stevenson says. “Every time we interview someone and hear about what happened to them, it brings tears to our eyes. Reliving （再现）some of the horrors they went through hasn't been easy."There have been two major police investigations into abuse at children's homes in South London and three people including a swimming instructor, William Hook, have been condemned for offences relating to Shirley Oaks.Another operation is currently on-going, but SOSA has lost faith in the authorities who they claim have covered up the whole picture of abuse in Shirley Oaks. “We don't trust them and that's why we have decided to do this campaign ourselves,” Stevenson explains.A couple of weeks ago, dozens of former Shirley Oaks residents crowded into a Lambeth council(议会）meeting-the authority which ran the show until its closure  the mid-1980s. Councilor after councilor spoke of their shame at what had been allowed to happen to children in their care.Among the crowd was the award-winning author Alex Wheatle who has written about the abuse he suffered as a child at Shirley Oaks. “We have not come here to go to war with the council；we have come here to gain your support, ” Wheatle told the meeting.The Shirley Oaks association is doing more than compiling evidence. It is using music to press its case. A song entitled “Don’t Touch It—It’s Mine” includes personal testimony(证词) from victims. “I was abused mentally, physically, emotionally and violently，” the track begins. “Of the original 16 of us,12 have killed themselves...”“We’re not going to be told lies anymore，” Stevenson explains. “We are not going to leave  it in the hands of lawyers, politicians or council officials to tell us what happened to us. We want to discover it ourselves and we know music and dance and poetry are ways that can tell a greater story.”12. What is the purpose of setting up SOSA?A. To show sympathy for the abused children in society.B. To reveal the abuse at a children's care home.C. To find the living victims from a care home.D. To aid those people abused at a young age.13. What can we learn from the passage?A. The former victims depend much on the police for investigation.B. Twelve of the sixteen children were killed in Shirley Oaks.C. All the people committing offences in Shirley Oaks have been arrested.D. The former local authorities must have neglected their duty.14. What has been done by campaigners of SOSA?A. Collecting evidence for the police.B. Creating music for the campaign.C. Going to war with the government.D. Turning to lawyers for assistance. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. SOSA sings for justice.B. Child abuse in Shirley Oaks.C. Terrible memories in Shirley Oaks.D. A campaign to abuse the authorities by SOSA. text 5Our world is more connected than ever before thanks to technology. ___16___.

Flashes from cameras lit up in all directions. The applause (掌声) filled my ears. I had done it. I had really done it.    Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people. "Not for a million dollars," I would have said. But when the time came, I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears—and discovered I could do more than I ever gave myself credit (认可) for. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring, outgoing person who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear.    If not for my teacher, Mrs. Sather, I might never have found that opportunity.    In the first and second grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn't in my personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people's conversations. I did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In my stories, I was never shy.    My teacher, Mrs. Sather, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was one of the first people to see my inner strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written. "I'll begin to cast (挑选演员) everyone tomorrow," she said. "I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy. Anybody want to try?" A few excited hands shot up—mine, of course, was not one of them—and Mrs. Sather smiled. "We'll talk more about it tomorrow," she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左石：2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Paragraph 1:When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Sather asked me to go to her. _____________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:Hearing Mrs. Sather's words, I realized it was time to make a change. _____________________________________________________________________  参考答案1-3 AAC  4-7 DCBD   8-11 CDBA   12-15 BDBA   16-20 GFAEB参考范文：When I was loading up my backpack Mrs. Sather asked me to go to her. Mrs. Sather stared into my eyes as if seeing my inner self locked away inside. "I would love you to give this a try for me. But if you really don't want to, I won't make you. It is your choice. " Mrs. Sather wanted me in this role. She shocked me, for I was always a shy person, not even dare to speak loud in public. Hearing Mrs Sather's words, I realized it was time to make a change. I decided to throw off my shy cloak. I wanted to prove that I also could do something good in public. After seconds of hesitation, I nodded my head confidently saying " Mrs Sather I want to, no, I am determined to play the role. And I will try my best to perform it well." Looking at me with a big smile on face, Mrs Sather said "I believe in you. If you met some problem, you can turn to me." "Thank you!" I left her office happily.
