My mother always said, “You young men should explore your own country before stepping
out into the world.” It seemed like a tough task. But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered
youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of
July in 2017. I jumped at the opportunity and secured an inexpensive ticket.
Excitement was at its peak as I approached the train station on the morning when my 22-day
adventure was to begin. I jumped on board the passenger vessel (车厢) like it was the train to
Hogwarts in Harry Potter. The train headed west in search of our first destination — the
scenic town of Banff, Alberta. After just an hour on the train, desperation already came on me. The
thought of three full days on those tracks broke my spirits. As I gazed out towards Lake Superior’s
glistening (闪闪发亮) waves, I decided if I was to be stuck in here, I would need to enjoy my
time.
Those three days turned into a summer camp on rails. Real friendships with the crew were
born within that train. Stops were made in small, remote railroad villages. A large group of
strangers turned travelling companions would rush towards the villages to reward our endless
patience with local cuisine. At night, we would walk to the glass-domed (玻璃穹顶) train car,
which gave a scenic view of the night sky, untouched by light pollution.
After three days, we arrived in Banff. Before my adventure of taking the train across Canada,
if I could have skipped the travel and arrived at the destination, I would have. But that is no longer
true. I’ve learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination.
24. What made the author’s train trip possible?
A. The encouragement from his mother.
B. The attraction of the splendid scenery.
C. A time-limited ticket offer for youths.
D. His determination to face the tough tasks.
25. What did the author experience after one hour on the train?
A. Great joy.
B. A dream-like trip.
C. Unrealistic hopes.
D. Faded enthusiasm.

Jeremy from America cannot understand why a lady he met outside the Hyde Park in London
said, ‘‘Ooh, isn’t it cold?’’, and he thinks of this behaviour as a distinctively English concern about
the weather. In fact, the female was just trying to strike up a conversation with Jeremy. Not
necessarily a long conversation — just an exchange of greetings. It is not always quite that
obvious, but all English weather conversations have a distinctive structure conducted according to
unwritten but accepted rules.
The unpredictable nature of our weather ensures that there is always something new to
comment on, or perhaps most importantly, agree about. We have already established that
weather-speak greetings like “Cold, isn’t it?” require the response expressing agreement, as in
“Yes, isn’t it?”. It would be very rude to respond with “No, actually it’s quite mild.” or “It’s pretty
hot to me.” If you deliberately break the rule, you will find that the atmosphere becomes rather
tense and awkward. There may be an uncomfortable silence. Most likely, they will either change
the subject or continue talking about the weather among themselves politely, if coldly, ignoring
your faux pas.
There is, however, one situation in which English weather-speakers are not required to
observe the agreement rule at all and that is the male-bonding argument, particularly the
pub-argument. In the special environment of the pub, constant disagreement — not just on the
weather, but on everything else as well — is a means of expressing friendship.
While we may spend much of our time complaining about our weather, foreigners are not
allowed to criticize it. Indeed, this brings us to the weather-as-family rule. In this respect, we treat
the English weather like a member of our family: one can complain about the behaviour of one’s
own children or parents, but any blame from an outsider is unacceptable. The weather may be one
of the few things about which the English are still unconsciously and unashamedly patriotic (爱国
的).
28. Why did the lady comment on the weather to Jeremy?
A. To build up friendship.
B. To begin a casual chat.
C. To send seasonal greetings.
D. To express dissatisfaction.
29. What does the underlined phrase “faux pas” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Improper response.
B. Careless attitude.
C. Rude interruption.
D. Frequent complaint.
30. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Male bonding in pubs.
深圳市 2020 年高三年级第一次调研考试 英语试题 第 3页（共 7 页）
B. Argument about weather.
C. Exception to the agreement rule.
D. Making friends by disagreement.
31. What is the best title for this text?
A. Politeness Tips for Foreigners
B. Accepted Rules in Social Life
C. English Politeness in Weather Conversation
D. Hidden Rules of English Weather Conversation

Should we be thrilled that, for the first time in a century, Australia went more than a week
without using any coal to make electricity? While some are welcoming this as a sign that the
country is going green, the bigger picture is less encouraging. For one thing, renewables (可再生
能源) supplied only 23 per cent of electricity during this coal-free period, while 45 per cent came
from natural gas. In the past decade, the country has gone from getting a third of its electricity
from coal to obtaining more than a third from renewables like onshore wind on average. Australia
now gets 11 per cent of its electricity from “renewable” biomass (生物质能), much of it using
imported wood. But forest campaigners say swapping coal for wood isn’t truly renewable and is
actually doing huge damage to the environment.
For another, Australia is off-track when it comes to meeting its long-term targets for cutting
greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Producing electricity without burning fossil fuels is relatively
easy. But it is much harder to heat homes, to make cement and steel, to grow food and to power
cars, ships and planes without producing any greenhouse gases. In view of this, we should handle
the energy and climate crises at the same time by finding climate-friendly alternatives to coal.
Australia has now stopped the financial aid that drove its renewables revolution. So growth in
renewable energy is expected to come to a stop in a decade. The global renewables revolution
seems to be following the same trend. The International Energy Agency (IEA) recently announced
that the world added 180 gigawatts (千兆瓦) of solar, wind, hydro power and bioenergy in 2018,
the same as in 2017. But IEA said we must add 300 gigawatts a year to have a chance of limiting
global warming to under 2°C by 2100. So we should cheer the end of coal, but continue to worry
about how it will be replaced.
32. In the “coal-free week”, what did Australia use most to make electricity?
A. Natural gas.
B. Onshore wind.
C. Biomass.
D. Wood.
33. What can be inferred about the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Paragraph 2?
A. Positive results are tracked.
B. Long-term goals are ambitious.
C. Additional efforts are required.
D. Climate changes are unavoidable.
34. What can we learn about renewable energy in Paragraph 3?
A. It ought to be replaced.
B. It will see an adequate increase.
C. It starts a revolution in Australia.
D. It needs constant financial aid.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the coal-free week?
A. Skeptical.
B. Optimistic.
C. Thrilled.
D. Ambiguous.

选项。
Asking for feedback (反馈) is an essential step in your design process regardless of whether
your work is finished or not.
36
You may do this in team meetings. You may do this after
a person stares at your works for two hours, or after you post what you’ve just created. But in your
effort to improve, it’s vital to understand the characteristics that separate three types of feedback.
Reaction-based feedback tends to be casual and emotional. For example, “That’s wonderful!”
Feedback of this type is driven by what a person thinks he is expected to say or what the designer
wants to hear.
38
37
This kind of reaction has little to do with what is being presented.
For example, “You should include a wider range of colors and make them match.”
That’s also where such feedback ends. In this form of feedback, the individual providing it is often
looking for ways to bring the creation more in line with his own expectations for designs.
When you are designing something, you need to have a specific purpose. When looking for
feedback, you are working to understand whether your creation appropriately meets the purpose.
39
And that’s exactly what is offered by a critique (批判性反馈), the third kind of feedback.
For example, “If the purpose is to attract kids, it is fantastic to have a colorful castle-like building.
Don’t use dark cloth, and avoid large furniture.” Comment of this type helps you tell if your work
has achieved the desired outcome.
40
A. But feedback differs greatly in its usefulness.
B. Direction-based feedback begins with a suggestion.
C. Sometime you need to turn to others for their comments.
D. It’s this form of feedback that is most helpful to your design.
E. You are looking for critical analysis for strengths or weaknesses.
F. Like emotional feedback, this next kind of feedback offers no explanation.
G. It is a response to the social demands of the situation rather than the needs of the designer.

Yassin Terou owns a restaurant in downtown Knoxville. One morning, he
only to find someone had attempted to rob his shop. A rock was 42 thrown through the
window and broken pieces were seen everywhere. But since the food is made 43 each
morning and the cash registers are 44 every night, the thief went away empty-handed.
After realizing the person who broke in was probably 45 in some way, Yassin,
instead of being 46 , put up a sign that read “If you are hungry or need emergency money,
just 47 till we open! We are more than happy to 48 you when we are open!”
Sounds unbelievable, right? But to people who know Yassin, it is not 49 at all.
When he first arrived in the U.S. as a refugee ( 难 民 ), he struggled to find his
because of discrimination. But he quickly discovered the best way to fight the 51

Last year, our city called on the citizens to sort and recycle rubbish, but I became a volunteer
in my neighbourhood. After dinner, I got to the place that different rubbish should be thrown into
different bin. Then came an old lady, carrying a bag of kitchen waste with plastic bottles in them. I
helped her pick out of the recyclable bottles with patient. After that, more people came and I show
