1、2021年浙江卷英语真题（7月）学校:_姓名：_班级：_考号：_一、阅读理解Leslie Nielsens childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his life his uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career (职业) in acting. Even though he often felt he wo
2、uld be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until he landed a n
3、umber of film roles that finally got him noticed. But even then, what he had wasnt quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It wasnt until 1980 32 years into his career that he landed the role it w
4、ould seem he was made for in Airplane! That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly. Did Nielsen then feel content in his career? Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doin
5、g the comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few years, he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the comer. He never stopped working, never retired. Leslie Nielsens devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a

There are two parts less than 10 minutes walk from home where neighborhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after schoo
9、l is pick up a screen any screen and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Todays children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet. In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have b
10、egun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three-year-old sons ear without getting a response. He realised that
11、something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself “marketing director from Nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the World Network,
12、a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature. “Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says. “There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being ou
13、tdoors will be on habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: “We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us
14、get them out and let them play.4What is the problem with the authors children?AThey often annoy their neighbours.BThey are tired of doing their homework.CThey have no friends to play withDThey stay in front of screens for too long.5How did David Bond advocate his idea?ABy making a documentary film.B

16、ore Free TimeCMarket Nature to ChildrenDDavid Bond: A Role Model for ChildrenIf you ever get the impression that your dog can “tell” whether you look content or annoyed, you may be onto something. Dogs may indeed be able to distinguish between happy and angry human faces, according to a new study.Re
17、searchers trained a group of 11 dogs to distinguish between images (图像) of the same person making either a happy or an angry face. During the training stage, each dog was shown only the upper half or the lower half of the persons face. The researchers then tested the dogs ability to distinguish betw
18、een human facial expressions by showing them the other half of the persons face on images totally different from the ones used in training. The researchers found that the dogs were able to pick the angry or happy face by touching a picture of it with their noses more often than one would expect by r
19、andom chance. The study showed the animals had figured out how to apply what they learned about human faces during training to new faces in the testing stage. “We can rule out that the dogs simply distinguish between the pictures based on a simple cue, such as the sight of teeth,” said study author
20、Corsin Muller. “Instead, our results suggest that the successful dogs realized that a smiling mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes, and the same rule applies to an angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes.”“With our study, we think we can now confidently conclude that at least some do
21、gs can distinguish human facial expressions,” Muller told Live Science. At this point, it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the ability to recognize different facial expressions in humans. “To us, the most likely explanation appears to be that the basis lies in their living with humans,
22、 which gives them a lot of exposure to human facial expressions, and this exposure has provided them with many chances to learn to distinguish between them,” Muller said.8The new study focused on whether dogs can_.Adistinguish shapesBmake sense of human facesCfeel happy or angryDcommunicate with eac

25、losseum. Or Africas Victoria Falls. Or Chinas Great Wall. _11_ “I often send postcards to family and friends.” he says to China Daily, “but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it. _12_” Seeking other like-minded souls,
26、however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulos hunch(直觉)paid off. Today his hobby has developed into the website , a social network that has grown to 575,217 regist
27、ered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. _13_Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job. Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand eac
28、h other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesnt work if one doesnt understand it. _14_ So a common language is required and in postcrossing thats English since its widely spoken. “Many people in China have limited exposure to English. _15_ That said, we kno
29、w of many postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing,” Paulo says.AAnd thats totally fine.BThat makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.CHe likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.DMany love t
30、o make a connection with someone from across the world.EOn August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.FSimilarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.GIn short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-writte

38、It doesnt impress like George Washingtons plantation on the Potomac, but Lincolns home in downtown Springfield, Illinois, _36_ （prove）irresistible to visitors since it opened to the public. Beautifully restored（修复）to its 1860 appearance, the house was Abraham and Mary Lincolns home for 17 years. In
39、1844 they bought it _37_ $1,200 and some land from Charles Dresser, who performed their _38_ （marry）ceremony in 1842. When the house was built, it was much _39_ （small）than it is today. Marys niece wrote, “The little home _40_ （paint）white.” It was sweet and fresh. Mary loved it. She was extremely p

A long- time neighbor said they never planted trees and only kept a garden for one year. Marys sister, Frances Todd Walla

44、n. Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced my trombone (长号). The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys t

After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened ove
