2021年全国统一高考英语试卷(浙江卷)

1、

Leslie Nielsen's childhood was a difficult one,but he had one particular shining star in his life - his uncle,who was a well-known actor.The admiration and respect his uncle earned  inspired  Nielsen  to  make  career (职业) in acting .Even though he often felt he would be discovered  to  be  no-talent , he  moved forward ,gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full- time, successful  actor  would  still  be  an  uphill  battle  for  another eight years until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.

But even then, what he had wasn't quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be  doing  comedy  but  his  good  looks  and  distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles.It wasn't until 1980-32 years into his career-that he landed the role it would seem he was made

for in  Airplane!That movie led him into the second half of his career whereh is comedic presence

alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.

Did  Nielsen then feel content in his career?Yes and no.He was thrilled to be doing the comedy

that he always felt he should do,but even during his last few years,he always had a sense of curiosity,wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the corner.He never stopped working, never retired.

Leslie Nielsen's devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring.He built a hugely successful  career with little more than plain old hard work and determination.He showed us that even a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable life.

  1. Why  did Nielsen  want to  be an  actor?

A.

B.

We live in a town with three beaches.There are two parks less than 10 minutes'walk from

home  where  neighborhood children gather to play.However,what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen-any screen- and stare at it for hours.They are not alone.Today'schildren  spend  an  average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens,split between watching television and using the Internet.

In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend.A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realised that his children,then aged five and three,were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say"chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself"marketing director fro Nature".He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to

be marketed to young people.The result was  Project  Wild T hing,a film which  charts the birth

of the World Network,a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.

"Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,"David Bond says."There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven,then being outdoors will be a habit for life."His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while."

Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it.Let us get them out and let them play.

D.

C.

By advertising in London media.

D.

By creating a network of friends.

6.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "charts" in paragraph 2?

D.

7.What can be a suitable title for thetext?

If you ever get the impression that your dog can"tell"whether you look content or annoyed, you may be onto something. Dogs may indeed be able to distinguish between happy and angry human faces, according to a new study.

Researchers trained a group of 11 dogs to distinguish between images(图像) of the same person making either a happy or an angry face. During the training stage, each dog was shown only the upper half or the lower half of the person's face. The researchers then tested the dogs' ability to distinguish between human facial expressions by showing them the other half of the person's face or images totally different from the ones used in training .The researchers found that the dogs were able to pick the angry or happy face by touching a picture of it with their noses more often than one would expectby randomchance.

The  study  showed  the  animals had figured out how to apply what they learned about human faces  during  training  to  new  faces  in  the  testing  stage." We can rule out that the dogs simply distinguish between the pictures based on a simple cue, such as the sight of teeth,"said study author Corsin  Muller." Instead,our results suggest that the successful dogs realized that a smiling mouth means  the  same  thing as smiling eyes,and the same rule applies to an angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes."

"With our study, we think we can now confidently conclude that at least some dogs can distinguish human facial expressions,"Muller told  Live  Science.

At this point,it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the ability to recognize

different facial expressions in humans."To us, the most likely explanation appears to be that the basis lies in their living with humans, which gives them a lot of exposure to human facial  expressions," and  this  exposure has provided them with many chances to learn to distinguish between them,Muller said.

8.The  new study focused on  whether dogs  can     .

A.

distinguish shapes

B.

make sense of human faces

C.

feel happy or angry

D.

communicate with each other

9. What can we learn about the study from paragraph 2?

A.

Researchers tested the dogs in random order.

B.

Diverse methods were adopted during training.

C.

Pictures used in the two stages were different

D.

The dogs were photographed before the lest.

10.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.

A suggestion for future studies.

B.

A possible reason for the study findings.

C.

A major limitation of thestudy

D.

An explanation of the research method.

You've  got  mail…and  it's  a postcard

Paulo Magalhaes,a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and  find  brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China'sGreatWall. 11

"I often send postcards to family and friends."he says to China Daily,"but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is  into  it.  12 " Seeking other like-minded souls,however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat

unlikely place :online .Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service,but Paulo's hunch(直觉)paid off.

Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing.com,a social network that has grown to 575 217registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 13  Runningthe website has almost turned intoa full-time job.

Language is certainly a harrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese,the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand  it.  14  So  common language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.

"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. 15    That  said,we know of many

postcrossing members,including Chinese,who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing,"Paulo says.

A.

And that's totally fine

B.

That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it

C.

He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby

D.

Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.

E.

On August 5,the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.

F.

Similarly,if you speak only Chinese,receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.

G.

In short,he loves postcards,and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.

When the house was built,it was much 39   (small)than it is today.Mary's niece wrote,"The little home 40    (paint)   white .It was sweet and fresh. Mary loved it. She was extremely  pretty, and her house was a reflection of 41    (she),everything in good taste and inperfect order.

Although Mary loved flowers, 42    she nor her husband was known as a gardener.Along-time neighbor said they never planted trees and only kept a garden for one year. Mary's sister,Frances Todd Wallace,often came over 43         (plant)flowers in the front yard.

44      Lincolns enlarged the house to a full two stories in 1856 to meet the needs of their  growing  family. Three  of the four Lincoln sons were born here. After Lincoln was elected President of the US in 1861, they rented the house and  45        (sell)most of their furniture.

My dad,George,only had an eighth grade education.A quiet man,he didn't understand my world of school activities.From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.

I didn't really understand his world either:He was a livestock trucker and I thought that I would surpass (超过) anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.

Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball,or throwing a football,preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced mytrombone (长号).

The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over,but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb's-quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay,even though I wasn't sure how much it would amount to.

At home,my dad said,"A job's a big step to growingup.I'm glad you will be contributing to the household."My dad's words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.

My labors lasted about two weeks,and the farmer said there might be more work,but I wasn't interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.
