To enjoy much more freedom．‎ B In the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand（木架）with a small notepad（记事本）and a hole for a pencil.‎ I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses ‎ later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.‎ ‎“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year.” I say to her walking bank into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?”‎ My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”‎ Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”‎ This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看不到的）exhibits at every meal.‎ ‎41. Why has the author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?‎ A. To leave messages. B. To list her everyday tasks.‎ C. To note down maths problems. D. To write down a flash of inspiration.‎ ‎42. What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand?‎ A. It has great value for the family.‎ B. It needs to be replaced by a better one.‎ C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.D .It should be passed on to the next generation.‎ ‎43. The author feels embarrassed for_______.‎ A. blaming her mother wrongly.‎ B. giving her mother a lot of trouble.‎ C. not making good use of time as her mother did.‎ D. not making any breakthrough in her field.‎ ‎44. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A .The mother is successful in her career.‎ A. The family members like traveling.‎ B. The author had little time to play when young.‎ C. The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.‎ ‎45. In thauthor’s mind ,her mother is_________.‎ A. strange in behavior. B. keen on her research.‎ C. fond of collecting old things. D. careless about her appearance.‎ C The Hope Diamond is one of the world’s most famous jewels. It was in the possession of a series of people: kings, bankers, rich women and thieves, before its arrival 60 years ago at the ‎ Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.‎ As a rare blue diamond, it has a complex social history, to be sure. But, far more so is its geological history, researchers say in a new report. This is the first time anyone has come up with a fact-based study or model for how blue diamonds form.‎ The group looked at 42 blue diamonds, including one from South Africa that recently sold for $25 million in 2016. Researchers could tell where the stones were formed based on the very small minerals trapped inside.‎ Diamonds are a hard, clear form of pure carbon called a crystal (结晶). They form under extreme heat and pressure. Blue diamonds crystallize alongside water-bearing minerals that long ago were part of the floor of the sea. But these minerals were pushed deeper underground during the movement of the Earth’s plates.‎ Scientists already knew these diamonds received their blue color from the element boron (硼). The study says that boron had once been in ocean water but was eventually pushed into the seafloor rock. Over millions of years, the boron continued to move deep underground.‎ Many diamonds appear colorless. Often, however, they have some yellow color. Still others have a light brown, pink or green color. About 99 percent of all diamonds form somewhere between 150 to 200 kilometers underground, a far shallower birthplace than their blue relations. “These diamonds are among the deepest ever found,” Carnegie Institution for Science geochemist Steven Shirey said of the blue diamonds.‎ The public can see the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C.‎ ‎46. By saying the underlined part in Paragraph 2, the researchers mean the blue diamond ________.‎ A. was formed in extreme weather B. has a very complex forming history C. has a far-reaching influence in society D used to be very popular among rich people ‎47. How could researchers know the blue diamonds’ birthplaces?‎ A. By observing their colors.‎ B. By studying their structures.‎ C. By referring to where they were found.‎ D. By examining tiny substances in them.‎ ‎48. What makes the diamonds appear blue?‎ A. The water. B. Extreme heat and pressure.‎ C. A special matter. D. The seafloor rock.‎ ‎49. What is special about blue diamonds compared with diamonds of other colors?‎ A. They contain several colors.‎ B. They form in much deeper underground.‎ C. They come into being in a different way.‎ D. They are found near the earth’s surface.‎ ‎50. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. The social status of the Hope Diamond.‎ B. The discovery of the Hope Diamond.‎ C. The formation of the blue diamond.‎ D. The diversity of diamonds.‎ D To learn to think is to learn to question. Those who don't question never truly think for themselves. These are simple rules that have governed the advancement of science and human thought since the beginning of time. Advancements are made when thinkers question theories and introduce new ones. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories explained much of the natural world, often incorrectly. He was so esteemed by the scientific community that even 1，200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them!‎ Brilliant minds can intimidate upandcoming thinkers who are not confident of their abilities. They often believe they are inferior to the minds of giants such as Aristotle, leading many to accept current paradigms instead of questioning them.‎ I, like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental inferiority. I was certain that my parents, my teachers-adults in general-were always right. They were like a textbook to me; I didn't question what was written on those pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My mind's independence was first stimulated in the classroom.‎ A stern, 65yearold elementaryschool science teacher once told me that light is a type of wave. I confidently went through years of school believing that light is a wave. One day，however I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made up of particles. As the others laughed at his statement, I started to question my beliefs.‎ Maybe the teachers and textbooks hadn't given me the whole story. I went to the library, did some research and learned of the lightasawave versus lightasaparticle debate. I read about Einstein's discovery of the dual nature of light and learned the facts of a paradox(悖论) that puzzles the world's greatest thinkers to this day. Light behaves as both a particle and a wave, it is both at once. I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.‎ Each new year brought more new facts, and I formulated even more questions. I found myself in the library after school, trying to find my own answers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew. I discovered that my parents and teachers are incredible tools in my quest for knowledge, but they are never the final word. Even textbooks can be challenged. I learned to question my sources, I learned to be a thinker. I once believed that everything I learned at home and at school was certain, but I have now discovered to reexamine when necessary.‎ Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth and I plan to continue questioning. How many things do we know for sure today that we will question in the future? At this moment, I know that our sun will burn for another five billion years, and I know nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole. This knowledge, however, may change in the next 20 years-maybe even in the next two. The one thing we can control now is our openness to discovery. Questions are the tools of open minds, and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.‎ ‎51. What does the underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A Frighten. B. Encourage. C. Strength. D. Persuade.‎ ‎52. The author began to question his previous beliefs because ______.‎ A. what he learned from textbooks before turned out to be wrong B. he was inspired by the different ideas from an exchange student C he was laughed at by other students for his unacceptable statement D. he was not satisfied with his life and desperate to achieve success ‎53. According to the passage, the author ______.‎ A. looks down upon great thinkers all the time B. never doubts what he has learned in the textbook C. always throws himself into the laboratory D. determines to be a thinker and questioner ‎54. We can conclude from the last paragraph that ______.‎ A. the author is not quite sure about his future B. we human beings don't dare to predict future C. theory of black holes will change in two years D. questioning is necessary to promote advancement ‎55. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. Following rules. B. Challenging yourself.‎ C. Questioning giants. D. Predicting future.‎ 绝密★启用前 ‎2020年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（天津卷）‎ 英语 笔试(第一次)‎ 第II卷 注意事项：‎ ‎1. 用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。‎ ‎2. 本卷共6小题，共35分。‎ 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。‎ When I was young, my mum had a hard time. Five years earlier, my Dad drowned. The burden to raise us kids only fell on my mum’s shoulders. Because Dad had no pension, there was not much money. Thus, we went on relief (救济), now called social assistance.‎ Looking back, I realize what Mum went through, sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our soles were worn out. Constant moving was typical for my family in these times. I still remember that once the rent for a house was twenty-five dollars a month. But Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January.‎ Unexpectedly, when Christmas was approaching, we received a twenty-five dollar Christmas fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.‎ I had a secret that was unknown to Mum. I had been selling Christmas trees, and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of comfortable boots for myself.‎ Well, the big day came on the afternoon of the Christmas Eve. I was very excited. But on the way to the boots store, I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor turkey or ham for Christmas. I felt very sad.‎ I was eleven years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents. So finally, I bought a turkey, ham, oranges and all the Christmas treats with my hard-earned money.‎ Later, with great excitement in my eyes, I knocked on the door. When my mum opened the door, some of the groceries fell onto the floor, and she just stood there surprised. Holding back the tears, I said, “Merry Christmas Mother!”‎ I did a lot of explaining as we unpacked all the food. That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum. She said I had grown up.‎ ‎56. Why did the author’s mother have a hard time? (no more than 12 words)‎ ‎57. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean? (no more than 10 words)‎ ‎58. What was the author’s secret? (no more than 10 words)‎ ‎59. What made the author’s mother surprised? (no more than 10 words)‎ ‎60. Do you agree with the mother’s words that the author had grown up? And why? (no more than 25 words)‎ 第二节：书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎61.假如你是李津，你的美国朋友Chris不久前来中国学习汉语。他给你写邮件，表示对于课堂上使用小组学习（group learning）的方式感到无所适从。Chris希望你能 给他提供一些有效的建议。请你根据这一情况给他回信，内容要点如下：‎ ‎1. 分析存在问题的原因；（如：准备不充分；心情紧张……）‎ ‎2. 提出建议；（如：提前预习；查找资料；敢于表达；……）‎ ‎3. 鼓励他不要灰心。‎ 注意：1. 词数：不少于120词；‎ ‎2. 信的开头与结尾己经写好，不计入总词数。‎ Dear Chris, ‎ After reading your e-mail, ‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Yours, ‎ Li Jin 绝密★启用前 ‎2020年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（天津卷）‎ ‎【答案】‎ 第I卷 第一、二部分 （Key to 1-55）‎ ‎1-5 DCBBC 6-10 BCADD 11-15 CBCAD 16-20 BACDB ‎ ‎21-25 ABDAC 26-30 BADBC 31-35 CABDD 36-40 DABCD ‎ ‎41-45 DBCAB 46-50 BDCBC 51-55 ABDDC 第 II 卷 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达 Some possible answers:‎ ‎56.

That the author brought home groceries for Christmas. ‎ ‎60. (Open.)Yes. Because he was able to care for his mother and the whole family instead of just himself.‎ 第二节：写作 Dear Chris,‎ After reading your e-mail, I can see you are greatly confused with group learning. ‎ It’s common for you to feel like this if you are not familiar with the topic or you are not well prepared for the topic to be discussed. Besides, the ability to express yourself in Chinese is ‎ another reason which prevents you from voicing your own opinion freely.‎ In fact, group learning is a fantastic way to practice your spoken Chinese and improve the ability to think in Chinese. In my opinion, what you are going to do is to be well prepared for the topic. For example, you can collect information about the topic and recite in advance. Additionally, use every chance to speak Chinese, in which way you can improve your oral Chinese quickly. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. You can’t speak fluent Chinese without opening your mouth.‎ Your experience reminds me of my process of studying English. Perseverance is very important. Don’t lose hope. I’m here willing to help.‎ Best wishes!‎ Yours,‎ Li Jin ‎【解析】‎ 第一部分 第一节 单项填空 ‎1. D 考查交际用语。A让我们找点事情做；B你认为它怎么样？C完全由你决定。D你不会是认真的吧！句意：我听说《钢铁侠3》上映了。我们现在就出发去看吧！—你不会是在开玩笑吧！现在10点了，我累了，我要上床睡觉了。故D正确。‎ ‎2.
