You can do all the three with Global Development Association(GDA). Whatever stage of life you’re at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you’ll create positive changes in a poor and remote community(社区).We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programmes. We have such roles as project managers, mountain leaders, and communication officers.Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community’s access to safe drinking water, or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you’ll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who’ll become your lifelong friends.This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programmes:CountrySchedule4-week programmes7-week programmesAlgeria 5 Jul. — 1 Aug.20 Jun. — 7 Aug.Egypt 24 Jul. — 20 Aug.19 Jun. — 6 Aug.Kenya 20 Jul. — 16 Aug.18 Jun. — 5 Aug.South Africa 2 Aug. — 29 Aug.15 Jun. — 2 Aug.GDA ensures that volunteers work with community members and local project partners where our help is needed. All our projects aim to promote the development of poor and remote communities.There is no other chance like a GDA programme. Join us as a volunteer manager to develop your own skills while bringing benefits to the communities.Find out more about joining a GDA programme:Website:www.glodeve.orgEmail:humanresources@glodeve.org1．What is the main responsibility of volunteer managers?A．To seek local partners. B．To take in young volunteers.C．To carry out programmes. D．To foster cultural awareness.2．The programme beginning in August will operate in ________.A．Egypt B．Algeria C．Kenya D．South Africa3．The shared goal of GDA’s projects to ________.A．explore new cultures B．protect the environmentC．gain corporate benefit D．help communities in need BThe problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.4．How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?A．Panicked. B．Confused. C．Embarrassed. D．Disappointed.5．Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ________.A．aim at victims precisely B．damage databases easilyC．start campaigns rapidly D．spread information widely6．What does the passage imply?A．Honesty is the best policy.               B．Technologies can be double-edged.C．There are more solutions than problems.    D．Credibility holds the key to development.7．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Where the Problem of Robocalls Is RootedB．Who Is to Blame for the Problem of RobocallsC．Why Robocalls Are About to Get More DangerousD．How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology CThe rapid growth in skyscrapers worldwide, most of which have large windows, has led to a high demand for window washers. Though the job is well-paid, it is dangerous and accidents are not uncommon. However, if Israel-based start-up Skyline Technologies has its way, the dangerous job may soon be done by Ozmo, an intelligent window cleaning robot, with humans supervising (监督) from the safety of the ground.Much like humans, Ozmo, sitting on platforms hanging from the buildings, uses its arms and brushes to clean the dirt on the glass. A 3D map of the building’s surface programmed into its system allows the robot to skillfully deal with any obstacle it is likely to meet, as it moves up and down the buildings. The robot will self-correct and move around every obstacle that it might have met so as not to break a window.Unlike present window washers, the robot cleaner does not require soap to clean the glass. Instead, it uses distilled (蒸馏的) water to do the job. Yaron Schwarcz, CEO of Skyline Robotics explains, “We are environmentally friendly.”Ozmo is also expected to be much more efficient than its human counterparts. While it presently takes three cleaners 480 hours each to clean windows of a 40-storey glass building, the robot will be able to do it in 80 hours. However, unlike other robots, Ozmo will not replace human workers, and only make their jobs safer by making them supervisors, who will be controlling the operation from the safety of the ground.Whether Ozmo, which is still being tested, does as good a job as humans remains to be seen. If things go well, its creators have much bigger ambitions for Ozmo. Schwarcz told Forbes Magazine, “Window cleaning is just the tip of the iceberg. We plan to replace all tasks that are dangerous and dirty.”8．Why is Ozmo friendly to our environment?A．It uses less soap than other robots.               B．It depends on solar energy.C．It makes our ecosystem more balanced.           D．It consumes nothing made from chemicals.9．What can we infer from the passage?A．Like cleaning windows, a well-paid job is usually dangerous.B．Without humans supervising, Ozmo could have performed better.C．Ozmo can save 400 hours per building compared to a human cleaner.D．Ozmo can’t be stopped by obstacles with its advanced system.10．What does the underlined part “the tip of the iceberg” mean?A．A small part of a big plan.               B．As cool as the iceberg.C．The most advanced technology.          D．The leading role in the modern world.11．What is the best title for the text？A．Robots make a difference.              B．Meet Ozmo, the window cleaning robot.C．Supervise Ozmo, human safe.           D．Intelligent Ozmo becomes known worldwide.D Soaps are television serial (连续的) dramas of a highly dramatic and sentimental (情感的) nature. They are called soaps because many of them were originally funded by soap companies. They were appealing to an audience primarily made up of house wives. Soaps tell us a lot about the viewers they are produced for. These long-running serials, with potentially endless episodes (集), are concerned with everyday life. They are generally aimed at the lower classes in a country.In the US, the most popular soaps usually feature the lives of the rich, the charming and the beautiful. Their houses are always beautiful, big and well decorated. The characters lead exciting lives. Most of these characters are very ambitious. One of the most popular soaps is The bold and the Beautiful. The name says it all really! It is set in Los Angeles and centred on the attractive and wealthy Forrester family and their impossibly gorgeous fashion house business. It is probably the most watched soap in the world.The British prefer to see ordinary characters rather than the gorgeous high-flyers of the US soaps. They prefer to view on TV what they have experienced personally and what they actually see around them. They believe that one should accept one’s station in life and not attempt to be more than one actually is.Coronation Street, first shown in 1960, is the longest-running British TV soap opera. It is watched by about one-third of the British population, more often by women, by older people, and especially by people from lower socio-economic groups. EastEnders is another popular British show, though it appeals to a younger generation. Again the characters tend to be working class. In addition to women, young people and men are also given strong roles in order to reach a wider audience.Thus the soaps can teach us a lot about the audience that they are intended for. The characters, settings and even the story lines can show us what appeals to British and American people.12．What’s the relationship between soaps and soap companies according to Paragraph 1?A．Soap companies are named after soaps.B．Soap companies support soaps financially.C．Soap companies depend on soaps for promoting their products.D．Soap companies make soaps appealing to the public.13．How does the author introduce US soaps in Paragraph 2?A．By using examples. B．By making comparisons.C．By analyzing causes. D．By describing processes.14．Which is the difference between British soaps and American soaps?A．The audience they are intended for. B．Their popularity and influence.C．The characters’ class and the settings. D．Their tradition and history.15．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To show his love for soaps.B．To remember some of the classic soaps.C．To introduce American and British soaps.D．To encourage audience to watch more soaps. 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。Travel Tips for New ZealandIf you’re looking for some adventure in one of the amazing countries on Earth, then New Zealand is a must! 16．!

New Zealand beaches are amazing, but dangerousNew Zealand has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and it’s not uncommon to have a whole beach for yourself. Sadly though, I’ve seen countless tourists on the news who have underestimated (低估) our beaches and ended up having to be rescued, or worse. Though a lot of the beaches are popular destinations, make sure you read the signs or ask a local to make sure it’s safe. 18． You’ll soon find out that the sun in New Zealand might not be as hot, but you’ll burn a lot faster than anywhere else.3. 19．Sure, there are plenty of tours that you can go on to see different parts of the country, but by hiring your own car, you’ll have the freedom of the open road. 20．.

Initially, I learnt English with the intention of being admitted to key university. But now I was eager to learn about the world better and spread Chinese culture through English because of it is the most wide spoken language in the world. I used to thinking English was difficult because I couldn’t remember the English words. Unfortunately, I found a way out. By reading English novels, I have made great progresses ever since. As the old saying go, learning is the lifelong journey. There is no doubt whether I will continue to learn English after graduation. 第二节 书面表达 (满分25分)假定你是武汉某高中学生李华，你在2019武汉秋令营结识的朋友Andre了解到武汉爆发的新冠状病毒肺炎疫情，组织了德国伯乐中学中文合唱团倾情演唱中文歌《让世界充满爱》，为武汉加油。你看了这个小视频非常感动，请给他写一封英文感谢信。要点如下：1. 表达感动和感谢。 2. 告诉他你的现状。3. 表达信心和愿望。注意：1. 词数150左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear Andre,______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours,Li Hua             2020年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语·模拟预测卷(二)参考答案：第一部分 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)1—15  CDD  DABC  DDAB  BACC第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)16—20  ABCE第二部分英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题:每小题1.5分，满分30分)21—40  BDCCB  ADCDA  DBACB  ABDAC第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）41．for42．to put43．are44．occasions45．that46．bought47．but48．introduced49．sharply50．most expensive第三部分写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节 短文改错(共10小题:每小题1分，满分10分)That→It在key前加awas→is去掉because of 中的of wide→widelythinking→thinkUnfortunately→Fortunatelyprogresses→progressgo→goeswhether →that第二节书面表达 (满分25分)Dear Andre,Words failed me when I watched the video from your school chorus. Especially when I heard “Come on, Wuhan!”, I was so deeply moved that I couldn't help replaying it again and again. I truly appreciate your love and support.Those days at the Autumn Camp are unforgettable. I often enjoy the pictures taken at the camp. Currently, I hardly go out due to the outbreak of novel Coronavirus. Instead, I spend time taking online courses, watching American plays or listening to English songs. And it takes me a little time to read books that I am keen on. Can you inform me of your recent life in the next e-mail? People across the country support Wuhan to the best of their ability. I'm definitely convinced that we can get through the hard times.Looking forward to your next visit to China! May our friendship last forever!Yours,Li Hua
