浙江省 2021 年普通高校 1 月招生选考英语测试卷 一、阅读选择（共 3 题；共 25 分） 1.阅读选择 More than 25 years ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural（农村）India. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him-so he got on. That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage（孤儿院）. There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania. As he writes in his new book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldnt help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didnt know his towns name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible. Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the programs satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a towns central business district from a birds-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station”and there it was. And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain-and there it was. Everything just started to match. When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance. Theres something about me, he thoughtand it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like. In an interview Brierley says, My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered. But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear fusion（核聚变）. I just didnt know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her. ” Why was Brierley separated from his family about 25 years ago? A.He got on a train by mistake. He got lost while playing in the street. He was taken away by a foreigner. He was adopted by an Australian family.,How did Brierley find his hometown? A.By analyzing old pictures. By travelling all around India. By studying digital maps. By spreading his story via his book.,（3）What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview? A.His love for his mother. B.His reunion with his mother. C.His long way back home. D.His memory of his hometown.,2.阅读选择 At the start of the 20th century, an American engineer named John Elfreth Watkins made predictions about life today. His predictions about slowing population growth, mobile phones and increasing height were close to the mark. But he was wrong in one prediction: that everybody would walk 10 miles a day. Today, in Australia, most children on average fall 2, 000 steps short of the physical activity they need to avoid being overweight. In the early 1970s, 40 per cent of children walked to school, while in 2010, it was as low as 15 per cent. The decline is not because we have all become lazy. Families are pressed for time, many with both parents working to pay for their house, often working hours not of their choosing, living in car-dependent neighborhoods with limited public transport. The other side of the coin is equally a deprivation: for health and well-being, as well as lost opportunities（机会） for children to get to know their local surroundings. And for parents there are lost opportunities to walk and talk with their young scholar about their day. Most parents will have eagerly asked their child about their day, only to meet with a “good”, quickly followed by Im hungry. This is also my experience as a mother. But somewhere over the daily walk more about my sons day comes out. I hear him making sense of friendship and its limits. This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more.,Many primary schools support walking school-bus routes（路线）, with days of regular, parent-accompanied walks. Doing just one of these a few times a week is better than nothing. It can be tough to begin and takes a little planning-running shoes by the front door, lunches made the night before, umbrellas on rainy days and hats on hot ones-but its certainly worth trying. Why does the author mention Watkins predictions in the first paragraph? A.To make comparisons. To introduce the topic. To support her argument. To provide examples.,What has caused the decrease in Australian childrens physical activity? A.Plain laziness. Health problems. Lack of time. Security concerns.,Why does the author find walking with her son worthwhile? A.She can get relaxed after work. She can keep physically fit. She can help with her sons study. She can know her son better.,3.阅读选择 Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees ( 黑 猩 猩 ) use to communicate.
