（新课标卷）2020年准高三英语暑假预热训练卷14第一部分  听力（共两节，满分30分）（略）第二部分  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    In the past, most people would just throw away their worn-out appliances (家用电器)，but due to the many environmental issues that this has caused over the years, it is highly suggested to consider recycling or other ways. Donate Your Appliances to an OrganizationThe first thing that most people think about when they hear about donating is giving old things to a charity or an organization. However, you should ensure that your appliances still work. Not only do you put repair costs on the charity, but you are also using the organization as a way to get rid of your junk. Find a New OwnerThere are many people that could greatly benefit from y our used appliances, including new couples, students, poverty-stricken families, and many others. Similar to donating to a charity, it is important to ensure that your appliances are in good working order, and if they are not, you can put up an ad definitely stating that you are giving away the broken appliances for free. Contact a Recycling CompanyBefore you do recycle your old items, there are several things that you should be aware of. First of all, you need to know about how refrigerator freezers, and air conditioners are recycled, as often these must be covered. According to your city, you may be required to take off the doors of your appliances to protect children or animals from getting trapped inside and getting hurt. Donate Your Appliances as Scrap (废品) MetalIf your old appliances are completely broken, it might be best to just give them away as scrap metal. Fortunately, there are many different organizations and companies that need as much metal as they can get. Additionally, you won't have to do any of the scrapping or tearing apart by your-selves, as professionals take care and effort in removing harmful elements.21.What's the similarity between the first two ways?A.The appliances are given away for free.B.The appliances should be better in good condition.C.The appliances will be sent to organizations.D.The harmful parts of appliances must be got rid of.22.If we want to recycle our old appliances, what should we consider?A.What kind of appliances can be recycled.B.Who can really benefit much from them.C.Whether they will cause some danger or harm.D.Which is the most suitable recycling company.23.What can you do if you want to donate your completely broken appliances?A.Tear them apart on your own.B.Give them to companies that need metal.C.Remove the harmful elements of them yourself.D.Make sure companies that want the metal pay the delivery fee.BA job is more than just a job, especially to the older generation. “It’s not the money that matters, but the sense of self-worth,” 56-year-old Cheng Wonlan said. So, every day Ms. Cheng carries a bag of parcels, letters and documents of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier (快递人员).Five years ago, Ms. Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for almost 30 years but was made jobless when the doctor migrated ( 移 居 ). It was extremely difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am,” she said. After two years of searching, the mother of two eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years, she quit. Why?“My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me, ‘You are so old, what are you working for?’ I was very unhappy.” She said. So while the rest of her family left for work, she was left to lonely boredom at home. Then, one of Ms. Cheng’s neighbours told her about Employee’s Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people on specific occupations, such as convenience store assistants, junior clerks and so on.“I was interested in courier work. I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit and healthy,” she said. Upon graduation from the ERB, Ms. Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company Limited. But then Ms. Cheng was caught between honour and employment. It took Ms. Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind and eventually she took heart and went off to work as a courier.Ms. Cheng’s employer is delighted with her. “Ms. Cheng has been working with us for two months and has shown a good responsible attitude to work.” Anthony Chong, who runs the company, said. Mr. Chong said he hired older people because they were able and reliable. “Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people are more capable than youngsters. They will not run from difficulties but young ones will,” he said. “It is not easy to recruit (招募) young people since they shy away from hardship and challenges.”24.Why was it difficult for Ms. Cheng to find another nursing job?A.Nursing clinics were hard to find.B.She found it difficult to trust others.C.People thought she was too old to work.D.People didn’t think she had enough work experience.25.Ms. Cheng left her second nursing job because             .A.it was too difficultB.she was too old to do the jobC.she was bored with changeless jobsD.the other staff made her feel uncomfortable26.Employee’s Retraining Board is aimed at                .A.finding jobs for older peopleB.teaching new skills to older peopleC.training older people to be healthierD.providing older people with chances to earn money27.According to Anthony Chong, young people                   .A.are able and reliableB.are less experienced than the older onesC.are fitter and stronger than the older onesD.are more likely to give up than the older onesC The summer is so hot and sticky, why would we want to sweat even more by exercising? Or is it just I who think like that? Sweat and clothes sticking to our bodies as we move make exercise seem rather uncomfortable. What can be done to fix it?Researchers at MIT have come up with a solution. They’ve developed a workout suit with flaps that open as the wearer begins sweating. As the person cools off, the flaps shrink until they assume their original position.Sounds cool, sounds practical. These flaps are lined with live, microbial ( 微生物的)cells. These cells can detect when the body is heating up too much, and in response, expand. It’s just as if they were working within any other organism, recognizing patterns of heating and cooling, then responding appropriately to maintain body temperature. It seems kind of strange to have living cells (that aren’t your own) on you, right? Not to fear, these cells have been believed safe. Plus, there’s a  material in the suit that helps the flaps/cells hover ever so slightly above the exerciser's skin. The flaps start opening as soon as people start feeling warm and sweaty, and the bit of space between the suit and the skin helps develop that feeling of cool and refreshing air as they move. For more information about flaps, click here.According to Gadgetify.com, researchers have also been working to apply this technology to running shoes as well. Moisture-responsive workout clothing has the potential to revolutionize sport fashion industry. People can stay drier, cooler and fresher at the end of the workout, which sounds better than leaving the gym with a trail of sweat and a red face. It’s possible that the comfort of these suits can make people enjoy exercising more and exercise with more intensity.28.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic. B.To show his dislike of summer.C.To give an example. D.To tell of his dream.29.What can’t be learned from the passage?A.When a person doesn’t sweat, the flaps will come to its original position.B.The flaps themselves can float slightly around the exerciser’s skin.C.When a person sweats, the flaps will expand.D.The flaps are essential to cooling exercisers down.30.What’s mainly talked about in the last paragraph?A.The influence of the technology. B.The efficiency of the technology.C.Different reviews on the technology. D.Author’s attitude to the technology.31.Where does the essay come from?A.Magazine B.NewspaperC.Brochure D.WebsiteDThe 5-year-old mountain lion, P-45, has managed to cross busy roads safely, has avoided rat poison and has successfully claimed his territory (领地) under all challenges that have hindered other members of the mountain lion population in the Santa Monica Mountain. His deadly mistake, however, was doing what mountain lions naturally do so well: killing and eating.Over the weekend, P-45 apparently broke into two farms, killing 10 alpacas(羊驼) at one property and a goat and an alpaca at the other. P-45 was identified as the criminal by a tracking device he wears.It’s illegal to hunt mountain lions in California thanks to 1990’s Proposition 117, but the rule included an exception for residents whose livestock is killed by a lion. And on Nov. 28, the owner of the 10 dead alpacas requested and received a special “depredation permit” (掠夺许可)to hire a hunter to kill P-45. The 10-day permit allows the hunter to cover a 10-mile range around the farm in search of the lion. Hunters often attract the lion with a deer.The farmer owner is within her legal rights to have the lion killed. But killing P-45 is not the answer, especially when he is one of the few adult male mountain lions in an isolated population that is at risk of extinction.Of course, people should be allowed to protect themselves and their children if a mountain lion attacks. But the law that allows the issuance of the depredation permit essentially gives the livestock owner the right to decide whether the lion should live or die. There is no evaluation by wildlife official as to whether the lion poses a further threat to humans or animals.Los Angeles residents are lucky to live near wild, open spaces large enough to sustain mountain lions. Surely there is a better way to manage the conflicts that arise when humans and their domestic animals move into areas that have long served as habitat for wildlife.32.What does the underlined word “hindered” refer to in the first paragraph?A.blocked. B.killed.C.protected. D.surrounded.33..What can we infer from the third paragraph?A.Lions feed only on deer.B.P-45 will be killed on Nov. 28.C.P-45 will be found10 miles around the farm in 10 days.D.Lions in California can not be hunted at will.34.What will probably be the result if P-45 is killed?A.Residents can live with lions peacefully.B.The mountain lion’s situation will probably be worsened.C.The conflict between man and lions can be solved.D.Lions will not be a further threat to humans or animals.35.What’s the author’s attitude towards the “depredation permit”?A.Objective. B.Supportive.C.Opposed. D.Uninterested.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。　Healthy eating begins with learning how to eat smart—it’s not just what you eat, but how you eat. Your food choices can reduce your risk of illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, as well as defend against bad mood. Moreover, learning the habits of healthy eating can increase your energy, sharpen your memory and stabilize(稳定)your mind. Healthy eating is about more than the food on your plate—　36　Healthy eating habits can be learned and it is important to slow down and think about the food as nourishment rather than just something to gulp down between meetings or on the way to your school. •Eat with others whenever possible. Eating with other people has a lot of benefit—particularly for children—and allows you to follow healthy eating habits. 　37 •Take time to chew your food and enjoy mealtimes. Chew your food slowly and taste every bite. We always tend to rush through our meals, forgetting to taste and feel the food in our mouth. Reconnect with the joy of eating. •　38 Ask yourself if you are really hungry, or have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty instead of hungry. 　39　It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly. •Eat breakfast and smaller meals throughout the day. 　40　and eating small, healthy meals throughout the day(rather than the standard three large meals)keeps your energy up and your metabolism(新陈代谢)going. A. Listen to your body. B. it is about where you eat your food. C. it is also about how you think about the food. D. Drink more water when you are hungry. E. A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism, F. During a meal, stop eating before you feel full. G. Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating. 第三部分  语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。    I work as a waiter at a restaurant.
