But there was major stress in my life at that time: I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, there was another universal language I loved to learn as a child: art. Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school, I mostly dismissed art as a path to a career. Since my dad always said "Think about the future", I did not think he would support the study of art once I went to college. But, to my surprise, it was my parents who suggested just that and urged me to apply to technical and liberal arts schools. I was admitted into industrial design. It's basically to design products and services. I could be doing something more technical or something more related to problem-solving. It was no easy task to do the course including metalworking, woodworking and model making. In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month, which led me to a question："Wow! Do I really want to do this? "But I finally survived the course. Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design, a famous architecture and interior design company. I have experience in exhibit design, product design and website design, apart from which I enjoy developing public art in my free time. Throughout my career，I've picked up different things along the way. The best way to learn in my opinion is through working, therefore, get as many projects as you can. Industrial design kind of makes you an all-round person. 4. What was the author's biggest problem when first moving to America? A．The adaption to a new environment. B．Difficulty in learning a new language. C．Fathers disapproval of her studying art. D．The burden of being a communicator. 5．What made the author choose to study art? A．Her deep love for art. B．The suggestion of her family. C．Her potential in design. D．The need of a good job. 6．Why was the author's experience of drawing cubes mentioned? A．To emphasize her effort at study. B．To express the regret at her choice. C．To prove the course was difficult. D．To show the basic content of the course. 7．How did the author feel when she mentioned her career? A．Surprised. B．Stressed. C．Eager. D．Proud. C California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素). The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southernCalifornia the decline was nearly 75 percent. Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源). But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development. The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪). Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season. 8. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California. B. The increasing variety of California big trees. C. The distribution of big trees in California forests. D. The influence of farming on big trees in California. 9. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees? A．Ecological studies of forests. B．Banning woodcutting. C．Limiting housing development. D．Fire control measures. 10. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre? A．Inadequate snowmelt . B．A longer dry season. C．A warmer climate. D．Dampness of the air. 11．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone? B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests? D. Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California D About one million adults in the USA need someone to help them eat. Researchers at the University of Washington are working on a robotic system that can help make it easier. After identifying different food on a plate, the robot can decide how to use a fork to pick up and deliver the desired bite to a person s mouth. “Being dependent on a caregiver to feed every bite every day takes away a person's sense of independence, "said the researcher. “Our goal with this project is to give people a bit more control over their lives the idea was to develop a feeding system that would be attached to wheelchairs and feed people whatever they wanted to eat. “When we started the project, we realized there are so many ways that people can eat a piece of food depending on its size, shape or consistency( 坚 实 度 )," said the researcher, “So we set up an experiment to see how humans eat common foods.” The researchers arranged plates with about a dozen different kinds of food, ranging inconsistency from hard carrots to soft bananas, Then the team gave volunteers a fork and asked them to pick up different pieces of food and feed them to a model. The fork contained a sensor to measure how much force people used when they picked up food. To design a feeding strategy that changes based on the food item, the researchers combined two different algorithms ( 算 法 ).First they used an object-detection algorithm called Retina Net, which scans the plate, identifies the types of food on it and places a frame around each item. Then they developed SPNet, an algorithm that examines the type of food in a specific frame and tells the robot the best way to pick up the food. The team is currently working with the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology to get advice from caregivers and patients on how to improve the system to meet people's need. 12. Why do the researchers work on the robotic system? A. To help old people live a normal life. B. To help people improve their health. C. To release people from heavy housework. D. To make some people more independent. 13．How does the robotic system work? A．By picking up some soft food. B．By picking out food on the wheelchair. C．By working with some nurses. D．By observing and delivering food. 14．What can be inferred about the robotic system? A．It needs further research. B．It has come onto the market. C．It is suitable for any disabled person. D．It has won people's great concern. 15．What may be the best title for the text? A．The process of inventing a robotic system. B．A new way to help those who don't like eating. C．Robotic feeders for humans are coming into being. D．Caregivers are going to lose their jobs in the future. 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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。 How to Build Healthy Interpersonal Relationships Human beings are social creatures and thrive(茁壮成长) in relationships with others.

Knowing that a friend will not request something from an individual will help to foster trust in the relationship. 20 The relationship can grow on this familiarity.

It was a cold, silent winter night. His mind was on his wife Linda, who had been in a car accident two months ago and was now lying in a hospital bed, waiting for more money for her operation. Jack had sold everything he had, and he had tried his best to borrow money from all the people and banks he could. But the real world is cruel. A large amount of money was still needed. To Jack, it would mean a great deal of suffering to see his wife die without any help. “I have only one option left, ”Jack said to himself. Then he went to the bank, his workplace, again. For several days, he observed the bank and planned a theft. The next day, he went to work as usual. Everything seemed normal: he joked with his workmates and helped his clients as he always did. But no one noticed that he had brought a bigger suitcase to work, instead of the small one he always carried. At 5:00 pm, the bank closed, and the clerks and the guards had all gone home. However, at that moment, Jack was in the bathroom, and the guards didn’t notice him, of course. When the noises coming from the street were replaced by silence and everything turned dark, Jack came out from the bathroom. He first cut the lines of the alarms and monitors with tools from his new suitcase. He was all too familiar with the equipment since he had been working there for 8 years and had been studying the security system for the past 30 days. Using a special key and some other tools, he then easily opened the doors of the safes. The bank’s security system wasn’t very good, which allowed Jack to take a lot of money. Several minutes later, Jack left the bank with a heavy bag filled with money. 注意： 1 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1： After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while, the alarms began to ring.Paragraph 2： But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank, an old man. 2020 年山东临沂实验学校高考模拟卷(四)答案 英 语 1-3BDD 4-7 DBCD 8-11ADCA 12-15 DDAC 16-20 FAGCD 21-25 ACADD 26-30 CBADC 31-35 BCABB 36．Went 37．Her 38．Known 39．The 40．Puts 41．With 42．while/when 43．Incidents 44．where 45．Successful 应用文写作 Dear Sue, I'm writing to express our heartfelt gratitude to you for your guidance over the past year. If it hadn’t been your assistance and instruction, we couldn't have such positive changes. We are now devoting ourselves to the coming exam. Though we are busy, we keep a balance between study and rest. Last week, we participated in many different activities. We benefited a lot from them. How is everything going with you recently? Everyone in our class really longs to know more about you. We are eagerly looking forward to hearing from you soon. 读后续写 After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while, the alarms began to ring. The police arrived at the bank very quickly, only to find no one there. The next day was a really special day for the town, which was filled with newspaper and TV reporters covering the strange theft. The clerks at the bank were busy discussing the case, of course, including Jack. The police could only promise to catch the thieves as soon as possible, even though no clues had been found yet. But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank, an old man. He seemed to be the only person to blame and was removed from his position. At last, with enough money for her operation, Jack’s wife was saved. However, Jack felt guilty about the manager of the bank. He could not forget what he had done to the old man. His guilt deepened as time went by. Finally, he turned himself in to the police and accepted his punishment.
