2022 年广东省六校联盟高考英语第六次联考试卷
一、阅读理解（本大题共 15 小题，共 37.5 分）
A Astrotourism：Travel to a place where you can see stars
Few sights are as breathtaking as the night sky full of stars.But you can"t get a good view of the stars in cities.Nowadays,increasing numbers of people are participating in astrotourism-traveling to destinations where they can focus on viewing stars,planets and other space-related phenomena.
Star party in Nebraska,USA
In north-central Nebraska,a week-long Star Party has been held annually for almost 30 years.Held at the Merritt Reservoir （水库），the party features classes teaching beginners about astronomy,along with some programs especially for children.The party features challenges such as a photo contest.During the day,visitors can swim in the reservoir and go fishing and boating.
Jasper National Park,Canada
The second-largest dark sky preserve in the world,Jasper National Park in Alberta,Canada,covers 11，000 square kilometers.In October each year,visitors show up there for the Jasper Dark Sky Festival making Jasper National Park one of Canada"s top astrotourism destinations.During the day,visitors can enjoy the beauty of the park"s glaciers （冰川），streams,lakes and mountains.
Chile
With an average of 300 nights with clear skies per year,Chile is a great destination for astrotourism.The clear skies mean visitors are very likely to be able to see stars and planets without clouds blocking their view.
Finland
Northern Finland is one of the best places in the world to take in the northern lights.They are usually
green but can be pink and more rarely red and violet.Finland"s Lapland region,they are visible 200 nights a year.

A. Nebraska. B. Jasper National Park. C. Chile. D. Finland. 2. What can visitors do in Jasper National Park besides viewing stars？ ______
A. Swim in the reservoir. B. Enjoy beautiful scenery. C. Boat on streams. D. Climb glaciers. 3. What is a unique highlight of Finland as a destination？ ______
A. Star views. B. The second-largest dark sky preserve. C. Northern lights. D. 300 nights with clear skies. B I"ve been writing since before I could write.As a kid,I dictated stories to my parents.About 12 years ago,
I was living in New York City and pursuing a master"s degree in creative writing.For years I"d been suffering vision disorder,but in New York my symptoms worsened.I became unable to read or write for any considerable length of time.I tried vision therapy,an overhead projector,a special pair of glasses- all in vain.
Eventually,I discovered a computer program for the visually challenged.As I typed,my words were read aloud by an automated voice.With my screen dimmed （变模糊）
to black,I relied entirely on the automated voice to know what I had written.
Facing the blank page is worrying,but facing the black page is worse.The dark screen is a sinkhole that
swallows creative hope.Sentences disappear into it like an astronaut into a black hole.I managed to complete my master"s degree,but it took me years to adapt to my new reality.The greatest barrier seemed to be the
automated voice,which was like a robot parrot on my shoulder,and I wanted nothing more than to drive it
away.If a pianist were forced to practice on an untuned piano,would it corrupt his ear over time？
Of course,I could have quit writing and stopped making myself suffer.But it honestly never
occurred to
me-and I"m glad it didn"t.Last year,after I told my story on the radio,I was contacted by VocaliD，a Massachusetts-based company that created a voice modeled on my own.
The first time I heard the voice they created,it is so close to my own that the two are nearly indistinguishable.I"ve only just begun using this new voice.My hope is that this will restore a sense of solitude （孤独）
to my writing process,allowing me easier access to that inner space where the imagination can take over,and I can forget myself,and the real work can begin.
The black screen still exists- it always will- but the robot parrot has taken wing. 4. What happened to the author when pursuing a master"s degree in New York？ ______
A. His sight started to fail due to much reading. B. His eyes couldn"t bear long hours of reading. C. He had to drop out due to his vision disorder. D. He successfully overcame his vision problem. 5. What still bothered the author after he got his master"s degree？ ______
A. The untuned automated voice. B. The pet parrot on his shoulder. C. The computer with a dark screen. D. The noise from a neighboring pianist. 6. How did the author feel when first hearing the voice created by VocaliD？ ______
A. Relaxed. B. Annoyed. C. Unmoved. D. Excited. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph？ ______
A. The automated voice is too annoying to bear. B. The author can restore his sight to normal. C. The author starts to enjoy his writing again. D. It is likely that the technology will improve. C Noise created by humans,such as car traffic,quieted by about 30% between late March and early May,2020，when Governor Greg Abbott closed schools and restaurants across Texas,according to analysis by researchers at Southern Methodist University （SMU）.
"There was quite a big change in some areas," said Stephen Arrowsmith,a seismologist at SMU，who took on the project with a class of undergraduate and graduate students.Arrowsmith and
第 4 页，共 23 页 his students looked at data from a dozen seismometers （地震仪）
across North Texas.Seismometers are used to detect earthquakes,but they are sensitive to just about everything that makes the ground ，such as strong winds,ocean waves,construction and traffic.
The idea of using seismometers to track urban noise gained popularity last March when Belgian seismologist Thomas Lecocq posted some of his urban noise data from Brussels on Twitter.Lecocq,of the Royal Observatory of Belgium,received such an enthusiastic response from scientists that he launched the group "Lockdown Seismology" online. "It"s where bored seismologists around the world are working together," Arrowsmith joked.
Arrowsmith hopes his findings will contribute to a growing list of creative ways in which researchers are using seismometers.In his course,Arrowsmith teaches students how seismic stations can help investigators solve crimes,like terrorist bombings,aid scientists in tracking nuclear tests or assist inspectors in investigating accidents,like chemical plant explosions.One potential application of his research is to better understand the shallow layers of Earth beneath cities. "That could be useful in places where there"s a real seismic hazard （风险），like San Francisco or Los Angeles," he said, "where just knowing what that shallow structure is tells you a lot about how it would respond in a big earthquake." 8. How do the researchers obtain the data of noise in Texas？ ______
A. By observing car traffic. B. By surveying their students. C. By consulting the governor. D. By employing seismometers. 9. What does the underlined word "vibrate" in paragraph 2 probably mean？ ______
A. Break. B. Freeze. C. Shake. D. Dry. 10. What is a direct result of Lecocq"s posting some of his urban noise data？ ______
A. Seismologists are attracted. B. Earthquake detection is improved. C. Urban noise is reduced. D. Crime investigation is simplified. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the seismometer？ ______
A. Its possible risks. B. Its potential applications. C. Its appeal to the public. D. Its market value. D In the world of water,2021 was another year for the record books.Parts of Western Europe suffered from deadly floods while large areas of the southwestern United States remained
locked in a massive drought.
One might think that our impressive water management would safeguard society from such catastrophic
events.Yet when it comes to water,the past is no longer a good guide for the future and most of the water engineering is unprepared for consequences of increasingly occurring extreme weather.One of the most alarming wake-up calls came from the city of Cape Town,where the water taps of 4 million residents were nearly forced to be shut off after severe drought dried up its reservoir （水库）.
Appealing as it might be,the solution is not to further build bigger and higher dams （水坝）
that often result in more disastrous flooding.Rather,it is to work more with natural processes.
The Netherlands avoided major damage from the historic floods in July 2021 thanks to its recently completed project,which gives river room to spread out by redirecting floodwaters into wetlands,lowering parts of the stormy river by more than a foot.Agricultural practices offer another strategy.Scientists have found that boosting organic matter in the soil by 1% can increase the soil"s water-holding capacity by up to 18，000 gallons per acre,creating flexibility to both intense rains and dry periods.This means farmland practices such as the planting of cover crops can not only raise output but improve water management.
Solutions don"t come easily,but they are key to a livable future.While it"s too late to avoid the impacts of climate change,we can avoid the worst of those impacts by investing more in such nature-based water solutions. 12. Cape Town is mentioned to show ______ . A. the reservoir was of no use B. new water management is in need C. how awful it was without tap water D. the existing water management is impressive 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 4？ ______
A. The Netherlands was spared from flood damage. B. The river"s water level was reduced to over a foot. C. Improving soil"s water-holding ability is practical. D. Planting crops boosts organisms at the cost of output. 14. Which of the following water projects might win the author"s favor？ ______
①"Restoring Healthy Soil"
第 6 页，共 23 页 ②"Filling Wetland"
③"Strengthening Dam"
④"Making Room for River" A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ①④ 15. What can be a suitable title for the text？ ______
A. Water disaster：way out of control. B. Investment in water：a key to the future. C. Good news：farming practices working well...
