A
The
summer
vacation
is
coming.
If
you
are
a
fan
of
sports
and
nature,
here
are
some
host
cities
of
Olympics
to
visit
recommended
by
Lonely
Planet.
Athens,
Greece
(1896
and
2004)
Home
to
the
first
modern
Olympic
games
in
1896,
Athens’
history
of
the
Olympic
tradition
dates
back
to
several
thousand
years.
Every
four
years,
the
Olympic
torch
is
lit
at
the
Panathenaic
Stadium
in
Athens
before
beginning
its
long
journey
to
the
new
host
city.
Visitors
can
walk
through
the
Olympic
Velodrome
in
the
Olympic
Sports
Complex
and
step
back
in
time
at
the
50,000-seat
stadium.
Barcelona,
Spain
(1992)
These
days
Barcelona
is
among
the
world’s
most
visitable
cities
even
without
Olympic
fame,
but
that
isn’t
always
the
case.
The
telecommunications
tower
built
for
the
games
by
Spanish
architect
Calatrava
is
also
an
iconic
(图像的)
device
of
the
city’s
skyline,
and
its
Olympics
stadium-
Montjuic
Stadium
is
regularly
used
to
host
A-list
musical
performances
like
The
Rolling
Stones,
Madonna,
and
Beyonce.
St
Moritz,
Switzerland
(1924
and
1948)
Appropriately,
the
town
that
invented
Alpine
tourism
has
hosted
the
Winter
Olympics
twice,
and
continues
to
make
use
of
its
many
sports
facilities—if
you
can
afford
to
get
there.
Stay
at
the
Kulm
Hotel
for
the
easiest
access
to
the
Kulm
Country
Club,
where
guests
can
skate
on
the
same
lake
used
by
mid-century
Olympians,
or
test
your
courage
on
the
Olympia
Bob
Run,
one
of
the
few
places
where
you
can
ride
a
full-speed
Olympic
bobsled
(双人雪橇)
on
a
run
constructed
entirely
of
ice.
Sydney,
Australia
(2000)
The
turn-of-the-century
Sydney
Summer
Olympics
were
named
the
“Green
Games”
by
the
International
Olympic
Committee
(IOC)
and
were
designed
to
introduce
a
more
environmentally
conscious
way
of
hosting
the
event.
The
structure
that
best
shows
Sydney’s
efforts
to
be
an
example
of
continuing
Olympic
development
is
the
ANZ
Stadium.
1.Where
does
the
host
city
get
the
Olympic
torch
lit?
A.At
the
Panathenaic
Stadium.
B.At
the
Montjuic
Stadium.
C.At
the
Olympic
Sports
Complex.
D.At
the
ANZ
Stadium.
2.Who
will
probably
choose
to
visit
St.
Moritz?
A.Those
interested
in
nature.
B.Those
fond
of
ice-sports.
C.Those
fond
of
city
tours.
D.Those
interested
in
Olympic
history.
3.
What’s
special
about
Sydney
Olympic
Games?
A.Their
designers
were
from
Spain.

B(广东省惠州市2020-20学年2022届新高三第一次调研)
Dad’s
comb
was
jade
green.
I
heard
he
bought
it
when
he
married
Mum,
which
made
the
comb
two
years
older
than
I
was.
Every
night,
he
would
smile,
hand
me
the
comb
and
say,
“Be
a
good
girl
and
help
Daddy
clean
it,
OK?”
I
was
more
than
happy
to
do
it.
At
age
five
this
mundane
task
brought
me
such
joy.
I
would
excitedly
turn
the
tap
on,
then
brush
the
comb
with
a
used
toothbrush
as
hard
as
I
could.
Satisfied
that
I’d
done
a
good
job,
I
would
proudly
return
the
comb
to
Dad.
He
would
smile
at
me
and
place
the
comb
on
top
of
his
wallet.
About
two
years
later,
Dad
left
his
sales
job
and
started
his
own
wholesale
business.
I
started
primary
school.
That
was
when
things
started
to
change.
He
didn’t
come
home
as
much
as
he
used
to

just
a
couple
of
times
a
week.
And
when
he
did
come
home,
it
was
always
late
and
I’d
already
be
in
bed.
I
started
to
get
mad.
I
stopped
waiting
for
him
to
come
home,
and
stopped
going
downstairs
to
check
on
him.
Today,
I’m
no
longer
a
kid.
I’ve
graduated
from
college
and
got
a
job.
Dad’s
business
has
got
back
on
track.
Things
are
better
now.
Yet
the
uncomfortable
silence
between
Dad
and
me
persisted.
Two
days
before
my
birthday
last
year,
Dad
came
home
early.
As
usual,
I
helped
him
carry
his
bags
into
his
study.
When
I
turned
to
leave,
he
said,
“Hey,
would
you
like
to
help
me
clean
my
comb?”
I
looked
at
him
a
while,
then
took
the
comb
and
headed
to
the
sink.
I
passed
the
clean
comb
back
to
Dad.
He
looked
at
it
and
smiled.
But
this
time,
I
noticed
something
different.
My
dad
has
aged.
He
has
wrinkles
next
to
his
eyes
when
he
smiles,
yet
his
smile
is
still
as
heartwarming
as
before.
The
smile
of
a
father
who
just
wants
a
good
life
for
his
family.
Dad
carefully
placed
his
comb
on
top
of
his
wallet.
After
so
many
years,
he
still
organizes
his
personal
items
in
the
same
meticulous
way.
I
guess
some
things
never
change.
And
for
that,
I’m
glad.
4.What
caused
the
uncomfortable
silence
between
Dad
and
me?
A.Generation
gap.
B.Dad’s
failure
in
business.
C.My
ignorance
of
Dad.
D.Dad’s
absence
from
the
family.
5.Which
of
the
following
can
best
describe
Dad?
A.Gentle
but
strict.
B.Hardworking
and
caring.
C.Cautious
and
realistic.
D.Demanding
but
patient.
6.Why
did
Dad
ask
his
daughter
to
clean
his
comb
before
her
birthday?
A.To
give
her
a
lesson.
B.To
follow
his
old
habit.
C.To
fix
their
relationship.
D.To
praise
her
helpfulness.
7.Which
saying
concludes
the
text
best?
A.Yesterday
once
more.
B.Let
bygones
be
bygones.
C.Some
things
never
change.
D.Like
father,
like
daughter.
【答案】4.D5.
B6.C
7.C
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者小时候很喜欢给父亲清理梳子,后来父亲因为生意繁忙常不在家,和作者逐渐疏远,后来作者大学毕业参加工作,爸爸的生意又重回正轨了,然而作者和爸爸之间令人不安的沉默依然存在。直到后来在作者生日前两天,父亲提早回家并让作者给自己清理梳子,并且像以前一样,用同样细致的方式整理自己的个人物品。作者想有些事情永远不会改变,感到很高兴。

(广东省广州市天河区20届高三综合测试(三))
Disease-carrying
mosquitoes
can
spread
diseases
without
affecting
themselves.
Nearly
700
million
people
get
a
mosquito-borne
illness
each
year,
which
results
in
over
one
million
deaths.
Humans
experience
continuous
pressures
from
disease-carrying
mosquitoes
in
many
parts
of
the
world,
so
we
have
to
find
ways
to
fight
against
those
insects
because
they
keep
getting
scarier.
Even
though
DEET
remains
the
most
commonly
used,
and
most
powerful,
mosquito
repellent
ever
developed,
scientists
are
actively
pursuing
effective
products
based
entirely
on
plant
oils.
While
DEET
is
an
effective
contact
repellent,
many
people
dislike
the
oily
feel
and
smell
on
their
skin,
and
sometimes
some
people
are
sensitive
to
it.
Consumers
are
always
interested
in
alternatives
to
DEET
and
other
synthetic
repellents,
so
there
are
numerous
natural
repellents
on
the
market.
In
his
lab
at
Iowa
State
University,
Dr.
Joel
Coats
and
his
team
have
successfully
tested
these
repellents
against
three
species
of
dangerous
mosquitoes.
The
first
group
of
the
new
repellents
act
through
the
air.
These
chemicals
have
a
vapor
action
that
provides
protection,
and
they
are
called
“spatial”
repellents,
since
they
act
through
space.
These
are
potentially
most
useful
in
backyards,
parks,
and
houses.
The
other
group
are
the
classic
ones
that
stop
insects
from
standing
on
a
treated
surface,
such
as
human
skin,
clothing
or
tents;
collaborators
at
the
USDA-ARS
and
BioGents
have
conducted
testing
with
humans
to
confirm
the
effectiveness
and
identify
the
very
best
ones.
The
new
repellents
were
designed
and
made
from
the
natural
materials
in
plant
essential
oils.
They
maintain
many
of
the
advantages
of
the
natural
repellents:
They
are
fully
biodegradable,
with
no
ecological
concerns
or
environmental
wastes,
and
generally
considered
safe
like
the
thousands
of
types
of
plant
essential
oils
used
in
the
flavor
and
perfume
industries.
However,
thorough
testing
will
be
conducted
to
determine
if
they
are
truly
non-poisonous
because
there
is
still
no
enough
evidence.
8.What
does
the
author
mainly
want
to
show
in
paragraph
1?
A.The
way
mosquitoes
spread
disease.
B.The
high
death
rate
of
mosquito-borne
illness.
C.The
difficulty
of
fighting
disease-carrying
mosquitoes.
D.The
urgency
of
finding
tools
to
fight
against
mosquitoes.
9.What
is
a
disadvantage
of
DEET?
A.It
won’t
be
effective
for
long.
B.It
can’t
be
applied
universally.
C.It
causes
discomfort
to
the
users.
D.It
greatly
harms
people’s
health.
10.What
can
we
learn
about
the
second
group
of
the
new
repellents?
A.They
can
kill
mosquitoes
indirectly.
B.They
are
mainly
used
in
the
open
air.
C.They
are
more
effective
on
human
skin.
D.They
can
prevent
mosquitoes
from
contacting
users.
11.What’s
the
author’s
attitude
to
the
new
repellents?
A.Subjective.
B.Objective.
C.Doubtful.
D.Disapproving.
【答案】8.D9.
C10.D11.B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。在世界许多地方,人类承受着携带疾病的蚊子的持续压力,所以我们必须找到对付这些昆虫的方法,因为它们变得越来越可怕。文章主要介绍了三种类型的驱虫剂以及它们各自的特点。
8.【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“Disease-carrying

D(20年全国甲卷)
Who
is
a
genius?
This
question
has
greatly
interested
humankind
for
centuries.
Let’s
state
clearly:
Einstein
was
a
genius.
His
face
is
almost
the
international
symbol
for
genius.
But
we
want
to
go
beyond
one
man
and
explore
the
nature
of
genius
itself.
Why
is
it
that
some
people
are
so
much
more
intelligent
or
creative
than
the
rest
of
us?
And
who
are
they?
In
the
sciences
and
arts,
those
praised
as
geniuses
were
most
often
white
men,
of
European
origin.
Perhaps
this
is
not
a
surprise.
It’s
said
that
history
is
written
by
the
victors,
and
those
victors
set
the
standards
for
admission
to
the
genius
club.
When
contributions
were
made
by
geniuses
outside
the
club

women,
or
people
of
a
different
color
or
belief

they
were
unacknowledged
and
rejected
by
others.
A
study
recently
published
by
Science
found
that
as
young
as
age
six,
girls
are
less
likely
than
boys
to
say
that
members
of
their
gender(性别)are
“really,
really
smart.”?
Even
worse,
the
study
found
that
girls
act
on
that
belief:
Around
age
six
they
start
to
avoid
activities
said
to
be
for
children
who
are
“really,
really
smart.”
Can
our
planet
afford
to
have
any
great
thinkers
become
discouraged
and
give
up?
It
doesn’t
take
a
genius
to
know
the
answer:
absolutely
not.
Here’s
the
good
news.
In
a
wired
world
with
constant
global
communication,
we’re
all
positioned
to
see
flashes
of
genius
wherever
they
appear.
And
the
more
we
look,
the
more
we
will
see
that
social
factors(因素)like
gender,
race,
and
class
do
not
determine
the
appearance
of
genius.
As
a
writer
says,
future
geniuses
come
from
those
with
"intelligence,
creativity,
perseverance(毅力),
and
simple
good
fortune,
who
are
able
to
change
the
world.”

thinkers.

[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。主要说明了天才的概念并着重阐明了天才表现形式现在有很多种。
32.?A。间接信息题。根据题干victors’

joining
the
genius

said
that
history
is

and
those

the

to
the

When

by
geniuses
outside
the
club

women,
or
people
of
a
different
color
orbelief

they
were
unacknowledged
and
rejected
by
others(据说历史是由胜利者书写的,而这些胜利者为天才俱乐部设定了准入标准。当俱乐部外的天才——女性、不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时,他们得不到认可,也会被其他人拒绝),据此可以推断出作者认为胜利者的标准是不公平的,所以选A项。
33.?D。观点态度题。根据题干girls
from
the
study
in?Science定位到第三段A
study
recentlypublished
by
Science
found
that
as

Around

be
for
children
who
are
“really,
really
smart.”(《科学》杂志最近发表的一项研究发现,在6岁时,女孩比男孩更不可能说出自己性别的成员,更糟糕的是,研究发现女孩们的行为都是基于这样的信念:在六岁左右,她们开始避免从事那些所谓“非常聪明”的孩子们的活动),据此可推知女孩有可能被社会错误信念所影响,故选D项。
34.?A。间接信息题。根据题干定位最后一段In
a
wired
world
with
constant
global
communication,
we’re
allpositioned
to
see
flashes
of
genius
wherever
they
appear(在一个全球互联世界里,我们都能看到天才的出现,无论它们出现在哪里),可知更多的天才被公众所知道的原因在于改善的全球通信,故选A项。
35
B。标题判断题。A项(天才的想法相同)文章没有涉及;C项(天才和智力)只是文章的一个细节不能作为文章的主旨;?D项(天才和运气)也只是在文章的最后稍微提起,也只是文章的一个小细节。根据文章的最后一句As
a

come
from
those
with"intelligence,
creativity,
perseverance(毅力),
and
simple
good
fortune,
whoare
able

How
to
Feel
Connected
It's
easy
to
feel
disconnected
from
what
is
going
on
around
you
in
today's
fast-paced
world.
16.
You
can
get
in
touch
and
feel
connected,
however,
by
following
the
tips
below:
Consider
why
you
feel
disconnected.
Knowing
what
is
making
you
feel
disconnected
can
help
you
choose
the
best
ways
to
address
it.
17.
Ask
yourself
these
questions:
Are
you
keeping
yourself
occupied
with
work
too
much?
Do
you
rely
on
electronic
communication
instead
of
face
to
face
communication?
Do
you
lack
friendships
that
are
satisfying?
Interact
with
people
in
person.
Technology
is
a
great
way
to
stay
in
touch,
but
sometimes
you
need
to
spend
time
with
other
people
in
person.
18.
You
can
also
take
steps
to
feel
more
connected
by
making
small-talk
with
strangers
who
are
sharing
parts
of
your
day.
19.
Your
loved
ones
could
feel
shy,
so
you
may
never
know
how
to
improve
your
relationship
unless
you
ask
the
right
questions.
Asking
them
to
open
the
doors
can
give
you
some
insight
on
what
you
can
do.
Learning
this
information
can
help
to
strengthen
your
bond.
Show
your
commitment
to
them.
Simply
showing
up
and
being
there
for
your
loved
ones
says
a
lot
about
how
much
you
value
your
relationships.
Putting
in
the
time
shows
them
that
you
are
committed
and
want
to
stay
connected.
20.
Show
appreciation.
A
simple
“thank
you”
goes
a
very
long
way.
Unfortunately,
it
is
something
that
people
who
are
close
often
take
for
granted.
Telling
someone
you
appreciate
their
time,
love,
and
efforts
can
strengthen
your
bond
and
help
you
to
become
more
connected.
A.Ask
others
what
they
need
from
you.
B.Sometimes
you
can
feel
isolated
and
distant
from
the
ones
you
love.
C.Be
brave
to
express
your
love.
D.Reach
out
to
people
to
schedule
a
time
to
get
together.
E.
Attending
family
events,
or
simply
visiting
someone
once
a
week
can
help
to
strengthen
your
relationship
and
keep
it
strong.
F.
Targeting
your
efforts
toward
those
issues
allows
you
to
close
that
distance
more
effectively.
G.
You
can
have
a
gift
delivered
to
friends
on
special
occasions.

in
touch
and
feel
connected,
however,
by
following
the
tips
below(不过,你可以通过下面的建议来让自己与人保持联系,让自己不觉得孤独)”中however可推知,上文内容应该是讲你与人疏远,感到孤独,B项“Sometimes
you
can
feel
isolated
and
distant
from
the
ones
you
love.(有时你会觉得与你所爱的人疏远了)”符合语境,且与首句“It's
easy

feel
disconnected
from
what

you
in
today's
fast-paced
world.(在当今快节奏的世界里,你很容易与周围发生的事情脱节)”有顺承关系。故选B项。
17.【解析】F项“Targeting
your
efforts
toward
those
issues
allows
you
to
close
that
distance
more
effectively.(把你的努力集中在那些事情上可以让你更有效地拉近与别人的距离)”中those
issues指代上文“
Knowing
what
is
making
you
feel
disconnected
can
help
you
choose
the
best
ways
to
address
it.
(知道是什么让你感到孤立可以帮助你选择最好的方法来解决它)”中what
is
making
you
feel
disconnected,且两句语意有顺承关系。故选F项。
18.【解析】根据小标题“Interact
with
people
in
person.
”可知,本段主要讲与人互动;再根据下文“You
can
also
take
steps
to
feel
more
connected
by
making
small-talk
with
strangers
who
are
sharing
parts
of
your
day.(你也可以通过主动与在一天中遇到的陌生人闲聊的方式来让自己感觉与人更亲近)”中also可知,上文内容也是讲如何与人建立联系,E项“Attending
family
events,
or
simply
visiting
someone
once
a
week
can
help
to
strengthen
your
relationship
and
keep
it
strong.(参加家庭活动,或者只是每周拜访某人一次,可以帮助加强你们的关系并保持牢固)”列举了一些与人保持联系的方式,符合语境,同时也是对小标题的照应。故选E项。
19.【解析】设空处为段落小标题;根据段中“Your
loved
ones
could
feel
shy,
so
you
may
never
know
how
to
improve
your
relationship
unless
you
ask
the
right
questions.(你爱的人可能会感到害羞,所以你可能永远不知道如何改善你们的关系,除非你问对了问题)”和“Asking
them
to
open
the
doors
can
give
you
some
insight
on
what
you
can
do.(请他们为你开门可以让你了解自己能做些什么)”可知,本段讲要改善关系就要主动去问别人需要你做些什么。故选A项。
20.【解析】根据小标题“Show
your
commitment
to
them.(展示你对他们的承诺)”和段中“Simply
showing
up
and
being
there
for
your
loved
ones
says
a
lot
about
how
much
you
value
your
relationships.
Putting
in
the
time
shows
them
that
you
are
committed
and
want
to
stay
connected.(仅仅是出现在你爱的人身边,就能说明你有多重视你们的关系。投入时间让他们知道你是忠诚的并想要和他们保持联系)”可知,本段主要阐述了表达自己承诺的重要性,要让你爱的人知道你的爱,
C项“Be
brave
to
express
your
love.(勇敢地表达你的爱)”符合语境,且句中express与文中多次提到的“show”相照应。故选C项。

I'll
never
forget
the
day
Marilyn
came
in
my
office.
She
said,
“I
am
too
old
to
learn
how
to
use
a
computer.”
I
my
head
in
disbelief.
Here
is
a
woman
who
has
raised
6
children,
who
has
22
smoothly
in
her
career
telling
me
that
she
was
too
old
to
learn
something
23

My
own
philosophy
on
life
is
that
you
are
NEVER
too
old
to
learn.
Having
new
knowledge
is
a(n)
24
and
can
open
new
doors.
Needless
to
say,
she
did
learn
how
to
25
the
computer!
Marilyn
is
now
retired
and
leading
a
very
26
life
volunteering
in
her
community.
She
helps
anyone
who
needs
help
and
is
using
her
computer
skills!
This
woman
has
all
amazing
talent
27
making
people
laugh
and
feel
at
ease.
Now
she
is
well
into
her
60s
and
she
calls
me
and
says
she
is
going
to
make
a
CD.You
can
28
my
surprise
and
delight!!
All
her
life
she
has
played
the
29
and
taught
others.
Now
she
has
her
own
CD.My
mind
30
back
to
the
day
when
she
told
me
she
was
too
old
to
learn!!!!
To
produce
the
CD,
she
had
a
lot
of
learning
to
do.
It
was
not
just
sitting
at
the
piano
and
playing.
She
had
to
research
the
31
,
learn
about
copyright
issues,
and
learn
about
marketing.
Pretty
amazing
for
someone
who
once
said
she
was
too
old
to
learn!
Marilyn's
story
32
my
beliefs
that
no
matter
what
your
33

you
can
learn
and
do
whatever
you
set
your
mind
on.
Congratulations
to
you,
Marilyn;
you
are
a(n)
34

It
is
my
hope
of
35
Marilyn's
story
with
you.
And
it
will
inspire
you
to
take
action
to
learn
and
do
the
thing
that
you
have
thought
about
but
have
never
done!

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平对中国和世界粮食安全的贡献以及他在中国和世界的地位。
36.【解析】考查名词复数。句意:中国科学家袁隆平于周六在中国南部城市长沙的一家医院去世,他曾培育出许多高产水稻品种,帮助养活了世界各地的人们。设空处位于many后面,所以要用复数形式;variety的复数形式为varieties。故填varieties。
37.【答案】考查固定搭配。句意:中国科学家袁隆平于周六在中国南部城市长沙的一家医院去世,他曾培育出许多高产水稻品种,帮助养活了世界各地的人们。根据句意可知,设空处表达“去世”的意思,要用pass
away来表示。故填away。
38.【答案】考查固定句型。句意:袁隆平毕生致力于水稻研究,在中国家喻户晓,被称为“杂交水稻之父”。根据句意可知,此处考查固定句型sb
spend
some
time/some
money
(in)
doing
sth.,意为“某人花费多少时间/金钱做某事”,用动名词作宾语。故填researching。
39.【答案】考查强调句型。句意:正是在20世纪70年代,袁隆平取得了一些突破,使他成为家喻户晓的人物。分析句子成分和结构可知,此处考查固定句型It
+be+被强调部分+that/who+其他部分,此处强调时间,要用that。故填that。
40.【答案】考查形容词比较级。句意:他培育了一种杂交水稻,年产量比其他品种高20%。根据设空后的than可知,设空处要用比较级;
high的比较级为higher。故填higher。
41.【答案】考查不定冠词。句意:这意味着它每年可以多养活7000万人。此处把70
million
people看作一个整体,没有特指,所以前面要用不定冠词;
extra的发音是以元音音素开头,所以要用an。故填an。
42.【答案】考查序数词。句意:在袁隆平的突破性发现之后,全世界五分之一的水稻是由杂交水稻创造的。根据句意可知,设空处表达“五分之一”,表示分数,分母要用序数词;five的序数词为fifth,分子是一,分母用序数词单数形式。故填fifth。
43.【答案】考查过去分词作定语。句意:在袁隆平的突破性发现之后,全世界五分之一的水稻是由杂交水稻创造的。分析句子成分可知,设空处用非谓语动词修饰名词species,与逻辑主语species之间是被动关系,应用过去分词。故填created。
44.【答案】考查动词不定式作目的状语。句意:根据世界粮食奖的说法,他的工作帮助中国在30年内从“粮食短缺转变为粮食安全”。世界粮食奖始于1986年,表彰科学家和其他改善了粮食质量和供应的人。分析句子成分可知,句中有两个连词which和who,三个谓语动词helped,was
started和have
improved,所以设空处是非谓语动词;根据句意可知,设空处作目的状语,表示目的要用动词不定式。故填to
recognize。
45.【答案】考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意:袁隆平因其对中国粮食安全、农业科学发展和世界粮食供应的杰出贡献而被授予“共和国勋章”。分析句子成分可知,设空处充当谓语;根据句意可知,句子描述的是过去的事件,所以要用一般过去时;句子主语Yuan与谓语动词award之间是被动关系,所以要用被动语态。故填was
awarded。

(山东省淄博市20届高三(三模))阅读下面材料,
根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,
使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When
I
was
five
years
old,
we
lived
in
a
small
town
in
the
Midwest
in
an
old
yellow
house
with
a
stream
out
back.
On
summer
days,
I
used
to
play
with
a
neighbor
girl
named
Marie,
who
was
two
years
older.
She
would
take
my
hand
and
lead
me
down
to
the
stream,
where
I
could
lie
on
the
bank
and
stare
at
the
muddy
water.
On
one
such
day
I
was
sitting
on
the
bank,
with
my
dirty
toes
in
the
soft
warm
mud,
when
Marie
took
something
from
the
pocket
of
her
overalls.
It
was
a
little
boat,
made
of
paper.
“Papa
made
this
for
me,”
she
boasted.
I
stared
at
it,
immediately
wishing
that
I
had
an
equally
fine
object
to
show.
I
had
nothing
in
my
pocket
but
a
small
plastic
truck
with
only
three
wheels.
Marie
placed
her
boat
in
the
water.
Then,
the
current
took
hold
of
it
and
swirled
it
downstream.
“See?”
Marie
said
in
excitement.
“See
my
canoe
drifting
down
the
stream?
After
a
while
that
little
stream
will
turn
into
a
bigger
stream
and
it
will
go
a
little
faster.
Then
that
stream
will
turn
into
an
even
bigger
stream,
and
the
streams
will
keep
getting
bigger
and
bigger
until
finally
it
will
reach
a
big
river,
and
it
will
go
faster
and
faster,
and
then
it
will
come
out
in
the
ocean.”
“Have
you
ever
seen
the
ocean,
Willy?”
she
inquired
softly,
inclining
her
head
so
that
her
bright
brown
eyes
looked
straight
into
mine.
I
looked
down
at
my
muddy
toes
and
shook
my
head
no.
“At
the
ocean,”
Marie
explained,
“water
reaches
for
miles
and
miles,
as
far
as
you
can
see,
and
it’s
deep
water,
dark
blue
and
green.”
“And
there’s
sailing
ships
that
go
on
the
ocean,
where
you
can
get
on,
and
sail
for
days
and
weeks
and
months,
until
you
get
all
the
way
to
China.”
“Pretend
that
canoe
is
a
real
boat,
Willy,”
she
whispered.
“You
and
I
could
get
in
that
boat
and
sail
all
the
way
to
the
ocean.”
She
looked
out
at
the
stream,
disappearing
around
a
stand
of
trees.

【答案】Para.
1:
I
fingered
the
useless
toy
truck
in
my
pocket.
It
couldn’t
float
on
the
water
all
the
way
out
to
the
ocean.
I
ducked
my
head
and
blinked
back
tears.
“My
truck
couldn’t
sail
out
to
sea.
It
couldn’t
do
anything.

I
said.
A
frown
now
stood
on
my
face.
I
took
it
out
and
held
it
on
my
lap.
Marie
leaned
over
and
took
the
truck
in
her
hands.
I
looked
up
at
her
trustingly.
She
didn’t
say
anything
for
a
moment,
and
I
started
to
lose
hope.
Para.
2:
Then,
she
looked
at
me
with
a
sparkle
in
her
eyes.
“This...

she
proclaimed,
“is
a
magical
truck!”
I
gave
her
a
hopeful
smile,
wiping
my
eyes
with
the
back
of
my
hand.
“A
magical
flying
truck!
I
bet
it
could
get
to
China
even
faster
than
my
canoe!”
Inspired
by
her
fancy,
I
started
to
tell
how
my
flying
truck
would
go
through
the
sky
and
arrive
in
China.
Content
in
the
sunlight,
with
my
toes
in
the
mud,
I
listened
to
Marie
and
let
our
imaginations
run
far,
far
away.

A
The
summer
vacation
is
coming.
If
you
are
a
fan
of
sports
and
nature,
here
are
some
host
cities
of
Olympics
to
visit
recommended
by
Lonely
Planet.
Athens,
Greece
(1896
and
2004)
Home
to
the
first
modern
Olympic
games
in
1896,
Athens’
history
of
the
Olympic
tradition
dates
back
to
several
thousand
years.
Every
four
years,
the
Olympic
torch
is
lit
at
the
Panathenaic
Stadium
in
Athens
before
beginning
its
long
journey
to
the
new
host
city.
Visitors
can
walk
through
the
Olympic
Velodrome
in
the
Olympic
Sports
Complex
and
step
back
in
time
at
the
50,000-seat
stadium.
Barcelona,
Spain
(1992)
These
days
Barcelona
is
among
the
world’s
most
visitable
cities
even
without
Olympic
fame,
but
that
isn’t
always
the
case.
The
telecommunications
tower
built
for
the
games
by
Spanish
architect
Calatrava
is
also
an
iconic
(图像的)
device
of
the
city’s
skyline,
and
its
Olympics
stadium-
Montjuic
Stadium
is
regularly
used
to
host
A-list
musical
performances
like
The
Rolling
Stones,
Madonna,
and
Beyonce.
St
Moritz,
Switzerland
(1924
and
1948)
Appropriately,
the
town
that
invented
Alpine
tourism
has
hosted
the
Winter
Olympics
twice,
and
continues
to
make
use
of
its
many
sports
facilities—if
you
can
afford
to
get
there.
Stay
at
the
Kulm
Hotel
for
the
easiest
access
to
the
Kulm
Country
Club,
where
guests
can
skate
on
the
same
lake
used
by
mid-century
Olympians,
or
test
your
courage
on
the
Olympia
Bob
Run,
one
of
the
few
places
where
you
can
ride
a
full-speed
Olympic
bobsled
(双人雪橇)
on
a
run
constructed
entirely
of
ice.

Australia
(2000)
The
turn-of-the-century
Sydney
Summer
Olympics

by
the
International
Olympic
Committee
(IOC)
and
were
designed
to
introduce
a
more
environmentally
conscious
way
of
hosting
the
event.
The
structure
that
best
shows
Sydney’s
efforts
to
be
an
example
of
continuing
Olympic
development
is
the
ANZ
Stadium.

B(广东省惠州市2020-20学年2022届新高三第一次调研)
Dad’s
comb
was
jade
green.
I
heard
he
bought
it
when
he
married
Mum,
which
made
the
comb
two
years
older
than
I
was.
Every
night,
he
would
smile,
hand
me
the
comb
and
say,
“Be
a
good
girl
and
help
Daddy
clean
it,
OK?”
I
was
more
than
happy
to
do
it.
At
age
five
this
mundane
task
brought
me
such
joy.
I
would
excitedly
turn
the
tap
on,
then
brush
the
comb
with
a
used
toothbrush
as
hard
as
I
could.
Satisfied
that
I’d
done
a
good
job,
I
would
proudly
return
the
comb
to
Dad.
He
would
smile
at
me
and
place
the
comb
on
top
of
his
wallet.
About
two
years
later,
Dad
left
his
sales
job
and
started
his
own
wholesale
business.
I
started
primary
school.
That
was
when
things
started
to
change.
He
didn’t
come
home
as
much
as
he
used
to

just
a
couple
of
times
a
week.
And
when
he
did
come
home,
it
was
always
late
and
I’d
already
be
in
bed.
I
started
to
get
mad.
I
stopped
waiting
for
him
to
come
home,
and
stopped
going
downstairs
to
check
on
him.
Today,
I’m
no
longer
a
kid.
I’ve
graduated
from
college
and
got
a
job.
Dad’s
business
has
got
back
on
track.
Things
are
better
now.
Yet
the
uncomfortable
silence
between
Dad
and
me
persisted.
Two
days
before
my
birthday
last
year,
Dad
came
home
early.
As
usual,
I
helped
him
carry
his
bags
into
his
study.
When
I
turned
to
leave,
he
said,
“Hey,
would
you
like
to
help
me
clean
my
comb?”
I
looked
at
him
a
while,
then
took
the
comb
and
headed
to
the
sink.
I
passed
the
clean
comb
back
to
Dad.
He
looked
at
it
and
smiled.
But
this
time,
I
noticed
something
different.
My
dad
has
aged.
He
has
wrinkles
next
to
his
eyes
when
he
smiles,
yet
his
smile
is
still
as
heartwarming
as
before.
The
smile
of
a
father
who
just
wants
a
good
life
for
his
family.
Dad
carefully
placed
his
comb
on
top
of
his
wallet.
After
so
many
years,
he
still
organizes
his
personal
items
in
the
same
meticulous
way.
I
guess
some
things
never
change.
And
for
that,
I’m
glad.
4.What
caused
the
uncomfortable
silence
between
Dad
and
me?
A.Generation
gap.
B.Dad’s
failure
in
business.
C.My
ignorance
of
Dad.
D.Dad’s
absence
from
the
family.

of
the
following
can
best
describe
Dad?
A.Gentle
but
strict.
B.Hardworking
and
caring.
C.Cautious
and
realistic.
D.Demanding
but
patient.
6.Why
did
Dad
ask
his
daughter
to
clean
his
comb
before
her
birthday?
A.To
give
her
a
lesson.
B.To
follow
his
old
habit.
C.To
fix
their
relationship.
D.To
praise
her
helpfulness.
7.Which
saying
concludes
the
text
best?
A.Yesterday
once
more.
B.Let
bygones
be
bygones.
C.Some
things
never
change.
D.Like

(广东省广州市天河区20届高三综合测试(三))
Disease-carrying
mosquitoes
can
spread
diseases
without
affecting
themselves.
Nearly
700
million
people
get
a
mosquito-borne
illness
each
year,
which
results
in
over
one
million
deaths.
Humans
experience
continuous
pressures
from
disease-carrying
mosquitoes
in
many
parts
of
the
world,
so
we
have
to
find
ways
to
fight
against
those
insects
because
they
keep
getting
scarier.
Even
though
DEET
remains
the
most
commonly
used,
and
most
powerful,
mosquito
repellent
ever
developed,
scientists
are
actively
pursuing
effective
products
based
entirely
on
plant
oils.
While
DEET
is
an
effective
contact
repellent,
many
people
dislike
the
oily
feel
and
smell
on
their
skin,
and
sometimes
some
people
are
sensitive
to
it.
Consumers
are
always
interested
in
alternatives
to
DEET
and
other
synthetic
repellents,
so
there
are
numerous
natural
repellents
on
the
market.
In
his
lab
at
Iowa
State
University,
Dr.
Joel
Coats
and
his
team
have
successfully
tested
these
repellents
against
three
species
of
dangerous
mosquitoes.
The
first
group
of
the
new
repellents
act
through
the
air.
These
chemicals
have
a
vapor
action
that
provides
protection,
and
they
are
called
“spatial”
repellents,
since
they
act
through
space.
These
are
potentially
most
useful
in
backyards,
parks,
and
houses.
The
other
group
are
the
classic
ones
that

Who
is
a
genius?
This
question
has
greatly
interested
humankind
for
centuries.
Let’s
state
clearly:
Einstein
was
a
genius.
His
face
is
almost
the
international
symbol
for
genius.
But
we
want
to
go
beyond
one
man
and
explore
the
nature
of
genius
itself.
Why
is
it
that
some
people
are
so
much
more
intelligent
or
creative
than
the
rest
of
us?
And
who
are
they?
In
the
sciences
and
arts,
those
praised
as
geniuses
were
most
often
white
men,
of
European
origin.
Perhaps
this
is
not
a
surprise.
It’s
said
that
history
is
written
by
the
victors,
and
those
victors
set
the
standards
for
admission
to
the
genius
club.
When
contributions
were
made
by
geniuses
outside
the
club

women,
or
people
of
a
different
color
or
belief

they
were
unacknowledged
and
rejected
by
others.
A
study
recently
published
by
Science
found
that
as
young
as
age
six,
girls
are
less
likely
than
boys
to
say
that
members
of
their
gender(性别)are
“really,
really
smart.”?
Even
worse,
the
study
found
that
girls
act
on
that
belief:
Around
age
six
they
start
to
avoid
activities
said
to
be
for
children
who
are
“really,
really
smart.”
Can
our
planet
afford
to
have
any
great
thinkers
become
discouraged
and
give
up?
It
doesn’t
take
a
genius
to
know
the
answer:
absolutely
not.
Here’s
the
good
news.
In
a
wired
world
with
constant
global
communication,
we’re
all
positioned
to
see
flashes
of
genius
wherever
they
appear.
And
the
more
we
look,
the
more
we
will
see
that
social
factors(因素)like
gender,
race,
and
class
do
not
determine
the
appearance
of
genius.
As
a
writer
says,
future
geniuses
come
from
those
with
"intelligence,
creativity,
perseverance(毅力),
and
simple
good
fortune,
who
are
able
to
change
the
world.”
32.What
does
the
author
think
of
victors’
standards
for
joining
the
genius
club?
A.
They’re
unfair.??????????????????????????B.
They’re
conservative.
C.
They’re
objective.??
D.
They’re
strict.
33.What
can
we
infer
about
girls
from
the
study
in?Science?
A.
They
think
themselves
smart.
B.
They
look
up
to
great
thinkers.
C.
They
see
gender
differences
earlier
than
boys.
D.
They
are
likely
to
be
influenced
by
social
beliefs.
34.
Why
are
more
geniuses
known
to
the
public?
A.
Improved
global
communication.
B.
Less
discrimination
against
women.
C.
Acceptance
of
victors’
concepts.
D.
Changes
in
people’s
social
positions.
35.What
is
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A.
Geniuses
Think
Alike
B.
Genius
Takes
Many
Forms
C.

How
to
Feel
Connected
It's
easy
to
feel
disconnected
from
what
is
going
on
around
you
in
today's
fast-paced
world.
16.
You
can
get
in
touch
and
feel
connected,
however,
by
following
the
tips
below:
Consider
why
you
feel
disconnected.
Knowing
what
is
making
you
feel
disconnected
can
help
you
choose
the
best
ways
to
address
it.
17.
Ask
yourself
these
questions:
Are
you
keeping
yourself
occupied
with
work
too
much?
Do
you
rely
on
electronic
communication
instead
of
face
to
face
communication?
Do
you
lack
friendships
that
are
satisfying?
Interact
with
people
in
person.
Technology
is
a
great
way
to
stay
in
touch,
but
sometimes
you
need
to
spend
time
with
other
people
in
person.
18.
You
can
also
take
steps
to
feel
more
connected
by
making
small-talk
with
strangers
who
are
sharing
parts
of
your
day.
19.
Your
loved
ones
could
feel
shy,
so
you
may
never
know
how
to
improve
your
relationship
unless
you
ask
the
right
questions.
Asking
them
to
open
the
doors
can
give
you
some
insight
on
what
you
can
do.
Learning
this
information
can
help
to
strengthen
your
bond.
Show
your
commitment
to
them.
Simply
showing
up
and
being
there
for
your
loved
ones
says
a
lot
about
how
much
you
value
your
relationships.
Putting
in
the
time
shows
them
that
you
are
committed
and
want
to
stay
connected.
20.
Show
appreciation.
A
simple
“thank
you”
goes
a
very
long
way.
Unfortunately,
it
is
something
that
people
who
are
close
often
take
for
granted.
Telling
someone
you
appreciate
their
time,
love,
and
efforts
can
strengthen
your
bond
and
help
you
to
become
more
connected.
A.Ask
others
what
they
need
from
you.
B.Sometimes
you
can
feel
isolated
and
distant
from
the
ones
you
love.
C.Be
brave
to
express
your
love.
D.Reach
out
to
people
to
schedule
a
time
to
get
together.
E.
Attending
family
events,
or
simply
visiting
someone
once
a
week
can
help
to
strengthen
your
relationship
and
keep
it
strong.
F.
Targeting
your
efforts
toward
those
issues
allows
you
to
close
that
distance
more
effectively.
G.
You
can
have
a
gift
delivered
to
friends
on
special
occasions.

I'll
never
forget
the
day
Marilyn
came
in
my
office.
She
said,
“I
am
too
old
to
learn
how
to
use
a
computer.”
I
my
head
in
disbelief.
Here
is
a
woman
who
has
raised
6
children,
who
has
22
smoothly
in
her
career
telling
me
that
she
was
too
old
to
learn
something
23

My
own
philosophy
on
life
is
that
you
are
NEVER
too
old
to
learn.
Having
new
knowledge
is
a(n)
24
and
can
open
new
doors.
Needless
to
say,
she
did
learn
how
to
25
the
computer!
Marilyn
is
now
retired
and
leading
a
very
26
life
volunteering
in
her
community.
She
helps
anyone
who
needs
help
and
is
using
her
computer
skills!
This
woman
has
all
amazing
talent
27
making
people
laugh
and
feel
at
ease.
Now
she
is
well
into
her
60s
and
she
calls
me
and
says
she
is
going
to
make
a
CD.You
can
28
my
surprise
and
delight!!
All
her
life
she
has
played
the
29
and
taught
others.
Now
she
has
her
own
CD.My
mind
30
back
to
the
day
when
she
told
me
she
was
too
old
to
learn!!!!
To
produce
the
CD,
she
had
a
lot
of
learning
to
do.
It
was
not
just
sitting
at
the
piano
and
playing.
She
had
to
research
the
31
,
learn
about
copyright
issues,
and
learn
about
marketing.
Pretty
amazing
for
someone
who
once
said
she
was
too
old
to
learn!
Marilyn's
story
32
my
beliefs
that
no
matter
what
your
33

you
can
learn
and
do
whatever
you
set
your
mind
on.
Congratulations
to
you,
Marilyn;
you
are
a(n)
34

It
is
my
hope
of
35
Marilyn's
story
with
you.
And
it
will
inspire
you
to
take
action
to
learn
and
do
the
thing
that
you
have
thought
about
but
have
never
done!

第二节(满分25分)
(山东省淄博市20届高三(三模))阅读下面材料,
根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,
使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When
I
was
five
years
old,
we
lived
in
a
small
town
in
the
Midwest
in
an
old
yellow
house
with
a
stream
out
back.
On
summer
days,
I
used
to
play
with
a
neighbor
girl
named
Marie,
who
was
two
years
older.
She
would
take
my
hand
and
lead
me
down
to
the
stream,
where
I
could
lie
on
the
bank
and
stare
at
the
muddy
water.
On
one
such
day
I
was
sitting
on
the
bank,
with
my
dirty
toes
in
the
soft
warm
mud,
when
Marie
took
something
from
the
pocket
of
her
overalls.
It
was
a
little
boat,
made
of
paper.
“Papa
made
this
for
me,”
she
boasted.
I
stared
at
it,
immediately
wishing
that
I
had
an
equally
fine
object
to
show.
I
had
nothing
in
my
pocket
but
a
small
plastic
truck
with
only
three
wheels.
Marie
placed
her
boat
in
the
water.
Then,
the
current
took
hold
of
it
and
swirled
it
downstream.
“See?”
Marie
said
in
excitement.
“See
my
canoe
drifting
down
the
stream?
After
a
while
that
little
stream
will
turn
into
a
bigger
stream
and
it
will
go
a
little
faster.
Then
that
stream
will
turn
into
an
even
bigger
stream,
and
the
streams
will
keep
getting
bigger
and
bigger
until
finally
it
will
reach
a
big
river,
and
it
will
go
faster
and
faster,
and
then
it
will
come
out
in
the
ocean.”
“Have
you
ever
seen
the
ocean,
Willy?”
she
inquired
softly,
inclining
her
head
so
that
her
bright
brown
eyes
looked
straight
into
mine.
I
looked
down
at
my
muddy
toes
and
shook
my
head
no.
“At
the
ocean,”
Marie
explained,
“water
reaches
for
miles
and
miles,
as
far
as
you
can
see,
and
it’s
deep
water,
dark
blue
and
green.”
“And
there’s
sailing
ships
that
go
on
the
ocean,
where
you
can
get
on,
and
sail
for
days
and
weeks
and
months,
until
you
get
all
the
way
to
China.”
“Pretend
that
canoe
is
a
real
boat,
Willy,”
she
whispered.
“You
and
I
could
get
in
that
boat
and
sail
all
the
way
to
the
ocean.”
She
looked
out
at
the
stream,
disappearing
around
a
stand
of
trees.
