2019-2020年高考英语阅读理解、书面表达四月自练（1）阅读理解 It is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented. And at first sight, it looks like the easiest. petitors have to do two things. The first is to stand still. The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there. This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the“handathon”contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car. It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time bees an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone elsesomeone who wants to go home and get some sleep. petitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills. Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly dont seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by“getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will“eat healthy food”or“pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end. Handathons are petitions, but there is little rivalry(敌对)between petitors. They help each other out and keep each others spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement. 【文章大意】双手放在车身任何部位, 静立不动, 你能坚持多久? 本文介绍了一项看似简单, 实则类似于马拉松的运动形式“handathon”。1. The reason why the sport is called“handathon”is that petitors. A. cover a long distanceB. keep hands in place for longC. wave hands as long as possibleD. do the same thing as in a marathon【解析】选D。推理判断题。由第二段可知, 这种运动在形式上和马拉松是一样的。2. What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon? A. Standing without any support. B. Not leaning on the car. C. Eating and drinking in five minutes. D.

It doesnt need to make any preparation. C. Anyone who is interested can join in it. D.

Brain-puter interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send mands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand and. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve ceils. These send signals through the spinal cord（脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to municate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a puter. The puter interprets the signals and mands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the puter react to mands from the brain. Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the puter software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple mands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: munication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.16. BCI is a technology that can _.A. link the human brain with puters B. help to update puter systems C. help the disabled to recover D. control a persons thoughts 17. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles. B. By talking to the machine. C. By moving his hand. D. By using his mind.18. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalpputercapwheelchairB. putercapscalpwheelchairC. scalpcapputerwheelchairD. capputerscalpwheelchair19. The team will test with real patients to _. A. make profits from them B. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longer D. learn about their physical condition20. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries【参考答案】16230、ADCBC 【四川省成都市xx届高三英语摸底测试模拟试题（一）】书面表达(满分35分)你是高xx级的学生,为响应绿化祖国的号召,你班四月十二日去郊区(suburbs)植树,请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序,介绍植树活动的全过程,发表对此事件的看法和感想，给某英文杂志的“绿色行动”专栏写一篇以“Green Action in Our Class”为题的英文稿件。注意：词数120左右。【参考范文】One Possible Version:Green Action in Our ClassApril 12 is memorable because our class had a meaningful experience on that day in active response to the call of greening our country.

I especially like playing in the garden where I can enjoy the beauty of nature. For one thing, I hope to gain more knowledge of gardening which can help me to major in the gardening after attending college. For another, I can realize the bitterness of the gardeners to treasure plants more, and also I wish to get more information about gardening so as to study it more easily when I enter university.
