第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In
around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best
known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was
157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was
small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around
250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s
desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities(容量)
slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of
thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the
World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as
well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still funtiona1, still open and still hosting the
biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000.
Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened:
October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572.
Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U. S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October
7,1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened:
September 24, 1927.
21. How many people could the Circus Maximus hold?
A. 104,944. B. 107,601. C. About 150,000. D. About 250,000.
22. Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest?
A. Michigan Stadium. B. Beaver Stadium. C. Ohio Stadium. D. Kyle Field.
23. What do the listed stadiums have in common?
A. They host big games. B. They have become tourist attractions.
C. They were built by Americans. D. They are favored by architects.
B
When almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of
Australian homes still paying for a landline(座机)?
These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age
of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in
their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere,
anytime.
Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only
just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones according to a survey
(调查). Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it’s
not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent
say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.
I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their
home phone. Age is naturally a factor(因素)— only 58 percent of Generation Ys
still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve
perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor; I’d
say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it
convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every
family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home
phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess
who is calling before we pick up the phone(using Caller ID would take the fun
out of it).
How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of
gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?
A. Their target users. B. Their wide popularity.
C. Their major functions. D. Their complex design.
25. What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Admit. B. Argue.
C. Remember. D. Remark.
26. What can we say about Baby Boomers?
A. They like smartphone games. B. They enjoy guessing callers’
identity.
C. They keep using landline phones. D. They are attached to their
family.
27. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?
A. It remains a family necessity.
B. It will fall out of use some day.
C. It may increase daily expenses.
D. It is as important as the gas light.
C
You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7
million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or
cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it
does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to
re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called
“Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made
of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the
sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho
Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means
the biggest source(来源)of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire
because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small
size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s
artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once
the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate(说明) a specific
statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean.
For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers
collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to
look like they’d been dumped(倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to
reduce their plastic footprint.
28. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for?
A. Beautifying the city he lives in. B. Introducing eco-friendly
products.
C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste. D. Reducing garbage on the
beach.
29. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?
A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B. To explain why they are useful.
C. To voice his views on modern art.
D. To find a substitute for them.
30. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?
A. Calming. B. Disturbing.
C. Refreshing. D. Challenging.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Artists’ Opinions on Plastic Safety
B. Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C. Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D. Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures
D
During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I
still think about often. Annoyed by the level of distraction(干扰)in his open
office, he said, “That’s why I have a membership at the coworking space across
the street — so I can focus”. His comment struck me as strange. After all,
coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout(布局). But I recently
came across a study that shows why his approach works.
The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they
completed tests of creative thinking. They were randomly divided into four
groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence
to 50 decibels(分贝), 70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between most
of the groups were statistically insignificant; however, the participants in the
70 decibels group — those exposed to a level of noise similar to background
chatter in a coffee shop — significantly outperformed the other groups. Since
the effects were small, this may suggest that our creative thinking does not
differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background
noise.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also
suggests that the right level of background noise — not too loud and not total
silence — may actually improve one’s creative thinking ability. The right level
of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to
allow our imaginations to wander, without making it impossible to focus. This
kind of “distracted focus” appears to be the best state for working on creative
tasks.
So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The problem may be that, in
our offices, we can’t stop ourselves from getting drawn into others’
conversations while we’re trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that
face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process, and yet
a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also
providing freedom from interruptions.
32. Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?
A. It helps him concentrate. B. It blocks out background noise.
C. It has a pleasant atmosphere. D. It encourages face-to-face
interactions.
33. Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking
ability?
A. Total silence. B. 50 decibels C. 70 decibels. D. 8 5 decibels.
34. What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?
A. Personal privacy unprotected. B. Limited working space.
C. Restrictions on group discussion. D. Constant interruptions.
35. What can we infer about the author from the text?
A. He’s a news reporter.
B. He’s an office manager.
C. He’s a professional designer.
D. He’s a published writer.

difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.
36 , if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into
somebody’s house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be
adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.

a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking to. 37
, it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with
these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens
up conversation.

kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. 39 .

I love doing housework. I always assist my parents in doing the dish after
meals. I also water the flowers in the yard and tidying up my own bedroom
whatever necessary. In my opinion, students can benefit a lot doing some
housework. Firstly, doing housework was helpful for us to be a responsible
person. Also, it gives our parents more time to do what they are like and it
improves the family relationship. What’s most, doing housework can be a form of

2021高考全国乙卷英语试题答案
高考学习方法
1.保持健康心态，合理有序复习
高考进入最后阶段，应该是一个以总结整理、查漏补缺为目标的过程，所以认真梳理知识，扫除盲区和模糊不清的知识点是首要任务，希望大家不要因为高考临近的焦虑感或者复习进度不够理想而打乱复习节奏，虽然只有短短一个月，如果能够保持稳定的复习效率和节奏，在高考前完成复习计划，掌握所有基础和进阶知识其实是足够的。
2.整理错题笔记，提高复习效率
你跟着老师的复习节奏，最起码复习也有一轮、两轮了，这个时候大部分的知识点其实你已经是见过的了，而你能提高的地方在哪里?当然是在你的错题了，我知道有些同学非常害怕遗漏知识点所以笔记做得又大又全，可能还非常美观，但是笔记还是重在实用和效率。建议大家最近也不要再补充新题了，试卷作业都很多，整理都来不及，看就更不可能了。留着试卷多去问问老师对你做错的看法会比较高效。
3.避免过量刷题，避免徒劳复习
不要过量的刷题，题海战术不一定就适合你，所以不要过量购买试卷和习题，做不完的，而且题型重复概率较大。学校准备的试题其实很充足了，而且老师比较熟悉，解释比较详尽。如果还没有合适的复习计划的同学可以和其他同学一起复习，不仅可以学习他人的方法，还可以互相监督。
4.无需担心难易，注意答题细节
总是有同学会考虑一些没用的东西，高考题会不会很难啊?建厂老师会不会逮我啊?其实这些问题大可不用担心，有这时间不如背一背英语单词，不如看一下数学错题。大家都是面临一样的题目，你只管努力，去解决这些问题，一些客观问题不是你能左右的。
5.调整好心态
每个人面对困境时都会感到紧张、恐惧甚至崩溃，但这种状态不能成为放弃自我、放弃努力的理由。相反，以平常心去对待考试，每次濒临崩溃时不断告诉自己：机会来了!坚持不懈地去努力超越自己，这种不适感才会消除，才有机会去超越别人。
