2020年全国高考英语仿真适应性模拟训练 5 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 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 . Kids imaginations are in overdrive when it comes to composing Christmas lists - as they ask for a live walrus （海象），the power of invisibility （隐身） and Taylor Swift. Christmas is less than two months away, and little ones are already planning their letters to Santa. But one survey has revealed the weirdest items to turn up on Christmas lists, and they include mythical monsters and mega-selling pop stars. Conducted by GAME, the study also reveals a significant break from festive tradition when it comes to writing wish lists. One in three, 29%, children now use technology such as iPads or mobile phones instead of the traditional pen and paper, while a further one in five （19%） will rely on parents to take note of all the things they point at during TV adverts and during trips to the shops. With more than three million lists likely to be drafted, parents are prepared for a flurry of requests including many that even Santa would struggle to achieve. As part of the study, parents were asked to reveal some of the weird and wonderful items that made it onto their childs Christmas lists. Fred Prego, marketing director at GAME, says: Choosing what to get your kids at Christmas can be a bit of a minefield（ 雷区）. As the research shows, most kids will be making note of the things that they want this half term and a lot of lists are going to be written. The underlined word aoverdrive in paragraph one means __. A. running with a high speed B. slowing down sometimes C. driving forth and backwards D. getting stuck somewhere 【答案】：A 【解析】：根据背景可知，孩子们在选择圣诞礼物时，要求颇多，在脑风暴什么礼物时，想象力也十分充 沛。overdrive v. n. 大脑高速运转。 Which of the following is unlikely to be a gift taken into the list of a child? A. live walrus B. Taylor Swift C. pens and erasers D. iPads and iPhones 【答案】： C 【解析】：本题【答案】主要在文章第二段。根据原文可知，现在孩子们对礼物要求越来越高，多为高科 技产品或难以实现的东西。当然就不可能是传统的笔和橡皮了。 What might be the main idea of the passage?
