But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles, We were going on survival training!‎ The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.‎ At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.‎ After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. "We need to set up camp quickly," said Leo." There are dark clouds coming in. A storms on its way."‎ I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.‎ ‎ 东莞市2020届高三第二学期第一次统考（5月）模拟考试 英语试题 第 10 页 共7 页 Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. "Don't worry. Summer storms pass quickly," Leo said trying to comfort me. "And at least the rain will keep the bears away," he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.[ZXXK]‎ And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible — I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky.‎ I won't lie — I was still wishing for a hpt shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.‎ ‎24．Why was the author surprised when Allen came to get him at the beginning of the story?‎ A．Allen had arrived earlier than arranged. ‎ B．He saw that Allen was not well prepared.‎ C．Allen's brother was unexpectedly with him.‎ D．He realized their trip would be challenging.‎ ‎25．Why was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top?‎ A．It was almost night time. ‎ B．The weather was changing.‎ C．They were tired and needed to rest. ‎ D．They needed protections from animals.‎ ‎26．What can we guess about Leo?‎ A．He had known the writer for a long time.‎ B．He was inconsiderate of other's feelings.‎ C．He was an experienced and capable hiker.‎ D．He had not been to this mountain before.‎ ‎27．How did the author feel at the end of the story?‎ A．Optimistic.

Now, it may be possible to predict how quickly a person’s brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old.‎ ‎ 东莞市2020届高三第二学期第一次统考（5月）模拟考试 英语试题 第 10 页 共7 页 A person’s biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their real age. Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine-learning to determine if a person’s brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age.‎ To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person’s health in midlife, Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive (认知的) testing since they were 3 years old.‎ When the volunteers, all aged between 43 and 46, underwent MRI brain scans, the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71. Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition, memory and IQ. The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly, and vice versa (反之亦然). However, the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngest-looking brains.‎ This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life. Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia (痴呆) to be started sooner. This means treatments might have a better chance of working.‎ We don’t yet have a way to treat brain ageing, but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise, these aren’t a bad place to start.‎ ‎28．What helps predict the speed of one’s brain ageing?‎ A．One’s health condition. B．A test result at the age of 3.‎ C．The actual age of one’s brain. D．A machine for medical check.‎ ‎29．What is the purpose of Elliott’s research?‎ A．To find out why people look older or younger.‎ B．To measure people’s brain age at different stages.‎ C．To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines.‎ D．To explore the relationship between brain age and future health.‎ ‎30．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?‎ A．The findings of the brain research.‎ B．The procedure of Elliott’s study.‎ C．The information about volunteers.‎ D．The influence of cognitive tests.‎ ‎31．What do the findings of the research imply?‎ ‎ 东莞市2020届高三第二学期第一次统考（5月）模拟考试 英语试题 第 10 页 共7 页 A．People suffering dementia can go on working.‎ B．Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age.‎ C．We should test our brain age earliest possible.‎ D．Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing.‎ D ‎ As we continue to explore farther out into our solar system and beyond, the question of humans living on other planets often comes up. Manned bases on the Moon or Mars for example, have long been a dream of many. There is a natural desire to explore as far as we can go, and also to extend humanity's presence on a permanent or at least semi-permanent basis. In order to do this, however, it is necessary to adapt to different extreme environments. On the Moon for example, a colony must be self-sustaining and protect its inhabitants from the airless, harsh environment outside.‎ Mars, though, is different. While future bases could adapt to the Martian environment over time there is also the possibility of modifying the surrounding environment instead of just co-existing with it. This is the process of terraforming - adjusting Mars’ atmosphere and environment to make it more Earth-like. But the bigger question is, should we?‎ One of the main issues is whether Mars has any native life or not and if it does, should it be preserved as much as possible? If the answer is yes, then large-scale human settlements on Mars should be completely off-limits. Small colonics might be fine, but living on Mars should not be at the expense of any native habitats, if they exist. If Mars is home to any indigenous life, then terraforming should be a non-issue; it simply should not be done.‎ What if Mars is lifeless? Even if no life exists there, that untouched and unique alien environment needs to be preserved as it is as much as possible. We’ve already done too much damage here on our own planet. By studying Mars and other planets and moons in their current natural state, we can learn so much about their history and also learn more about our own world. We should appreciate (he differences of other worlds instead of just transforming them to suit our own ambitions.‎ ‎32．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．Is there life on Mars?‎ B．Can we adapt to Mars?‎ C．Should we terraform Mars?‎ D．Are Mars and Earth So Different?‎ ‎33．What does the author think we should do if life is found on Mars ?‎ A．Ensure that it's not harmed.‎ B．Negotiate with the Martians.‎ C．Change the unpopulated regions.‎ ‎ 东莞市2020届高三第二学期第一次统考（5月）模拟考试 英语试题 第 10 页 共7 页 D．Assess the advantages and disadvantages.‎ ‎34．What does the underlined word “indigenous” in paragraph 3 mean?‎ A．Complex. B．Foreign. C．Native. D．Intelligent ‎35．How does the author develop his ideas in the text?‎ A．By arguing in support of one viewpoint.‎ B．By justifying the benefits of terraforming.‎ C．By evaluating different planets.‎ D．By referring to others' research.‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Travel is one of the activities people carry out most often during their spare time.
