B卷——大题提能练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2021·陕西百校联盟第一次模拟)My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish：I could not bear listening to a song for another 10 hours.My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer's road trip.
As I began to prepare for our next 500 mile car trip, I came across a book—Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook.This could be the answer to my problem, I thought.So I put Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach into my bag.When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats.But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.
We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well written book made the long miles pass more quickly.Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip.I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach.We arrived just behind the power crews restoring (恢复) electricity after a tropical storm.The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm.When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip.He answered without hesitation, “The book you read in the car.”
Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers.But we continue to read as we roll across the country.And I am beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time.For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds.And maybe we've started something that will be passed on to the next generation.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。为了不在自驾游中重复听一首歌，“我”在车上为孩子们朗读故事书。这吸引了他们的注意力，并为我们的旅途增添了更多的乐趣。
1．Why did the author start reading in the car
A．She wanted to have a better journey.
B．She wanted to keep a family tradition.
C．Her children were addicted to reading.
D．Her children were tired of the cassette.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第一句中的“I could not bear listening to a song for another 10 hours”可知，作者无法忍受再听同一首歌10个小时了。由此可推知，作者想要有一个更好的旅程。故选A。
2．How did the children react after the author read a few lines
A．They kept quarrelling.
B．They hid themselves.
C．They soon settled down.
D．They continued to fight in their seats.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的最后一句“But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.”可知，作者读了几行之后，孩子们被吸引了，开始听起来。故选C。
3．What can we learn about the author and her family's trip to the beach
A．They were caught in a storm.
B．They enjoyed reading on the road.
C．They had a good time on the beach.
D．They thought it had passed too quickly.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中对那个海滩遭受风暴后的描述和最后两句“When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip.He answered without hesitation, ‘The book you read in the car.’”可知，当回到家时，作者问自己的儿子喜欢这次旅行的什么，他毫不犹豫地答道：“你在车上读的那本书”。由此可推知B项正确。
4．Which can be the best title for the text
A．Reading Is Better than Traveling
B．Books That Changed My Children
C．Road Trips That Are Full of Challenges
D．Reading Makes Road Trips Great
D 解析：标题归纳题。根据第三段第一、二句和尾段内容并结合文章的其他内容可知，最初为了不重复听一首歌，作者决定在途中为孩子们朗读故事书；后来，作者发现大声朗读能让漫长的旅途过得更快、更有乐趣，甚至有时候被朗读的书成为他们旅行中最精彩的部分。故选D。

(2021·山东历城二中第一次模拟)Literature reflects life.So in aging Japan there are a large number of hit books by aged authors.“Age 90：what's so great about it？” is a humorous essay on the difficulties of the elderly, by Aiko Sato, who is 95.It sold one million copies in 2017, making it Japan's best selling book that year.
In 2018 the Akutagawa Prize (芥川龙之介奖) went to Chisako Wakatake, 63 at the time, for her first novel I'll Live by Myself.The book talks about how to live in old age.Going to Die Soon, by Ms.Uchidate, features 78 year old Hana, a former alcohol shop owner trying to make the most of her remaining years.The novel has been called a book for shukatsu (为死亡做准备), or preparing for death, making readers think more deeply about what it means to age.
Japan's population has the world's highest percentage of over 65s.People are living longer, so many have at least 20－30 years of retirement, for much of which they are energetic.
And although the Japanese have been spending less on books, that is least true for the over 60s.
Lawson, a convenience store chain, recently decided to stock books with the older generation in mind.
But the elderly writers' books are attracting younger readers, too.Some are preparing for their own old age or want to understand the increasing number of old people they see around them.Others find relevance in the themes explored, such as loneliness, a problem that stretches well beyond the silver haired.
The most notable feature of the new trend is that the vast majority of authors, and main characters, are women.Especially popular are the ara hun (“around hundred” year old) writers like Ms.Sato, whose book, readers say, helps them be more positive.Their popularity also reflects support for strong women who are passionate about their work, a phenomenon that is all too rare in Japan today.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了很多日本老年作者成为畅销书作家的这一现象，并剖析了其背后原因以及这一趋势的特点。
5．Going to Die Soon is a book________．
A．about how to stay positive in old age
B．which won the Akutagawa Prize in 2018
C．which helps people live the rest of the life to the fullest
D．written by 78 year old Hana, an alcohol shop owner
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Going to Die Soon，by Ms.Uchidate，features 78 year old Hana，a former alcohol shop owner trying to make the most of her remaining years.”可知，《即将死去》的主角——78岁的花奈——之前是一位酒馆老板，她试图充分利用自己剩余的岁月。因此，《即将死去》是一本帮助人们充实地度过余生的书。故选C。
6．Why are the books by aged authors popular with younger readers
A．Young readers now have more elder relatives.
B．Young readers face similar problems as the elderly.
C．Young readers are worried about becoming old.
D．Young readers are as lonely as the elderly.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的内容可知，一些年轻人正在为自己的晚年做准备，或者想要了解他们在身边见到的越来越多的老年人。另一些人则在书中探讨的主题中找到了相关性，比如孤独，这个问题远远超出了老年人群体的范畴。也就是说，老年作者写的书之所以很受年轻读者的欢迎，是因为年轻读者面临着与老年人相似的问题。故选B。
7．What can we learn from the passage
A．Aged writers might be more successful than younger writers.
B．An aging society brings more chances for women writers.
C．People have to work after their retirement in an aging society.
D．Ambitious career women might not be popular with the Japanese.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Their popularity also reflects support for strong women who are passionate about their work, a phenomenon that is all too rare in Japan today.”可知，女性作家的受欢迎程度也反映了对热爱工作的女强人的支持，这种现象在今天的日本非常罕见。由此可推知，野心勃勃的职业女性可能不受日本人欢迎。故选D。
【难句分析】 The novel has been called a book for shukatsu(为死亡做准备), or preparing for death，making readers think more deeply about what it means to age.
分析：本句主句为“The novel has been called a book for shukatsu, or preparing for death”；or引导并列成分(因此此处可根据preparing for death来理解shukatsu)；making readers think...为非谓语动词作状语，其中what引导的是宾语从句，作介词about的宾语。
译文：这本小说被称为“为死亡做准备”的书，让读者更深入地思考变老意味着什么。

Ⅲ.语法填空
As to garlic and raw onion, you might want to avoid their after effects, but many of these 1.____________(positive) unfriendly foods are good for you.

As the foods are digested, the special oils they contain 3.____________ (absorb) into your bloodstream and you breathe 4.____________(they) out until the foods are removed from your body. Despite all this, you should eat them. Those who add garlic and onions to food need 5.____________(little) salt than those who do not.

Drinking milk also helps reduce the things 9.____________ cause bad breath. Chewing gum, sucking on a mint or sipping peppermint tea will also help. But remember 10.____________(see) your doctor if your bad breath continues.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了吃大蒜及洋葱的好处， 以及去除吃它们之后所留下的难闻的味道的方法。
1．positively 解析：考查副词。修饰形容词unfriendly要用副词，故填positively, 意为“确实”。
2．to 解析：考查固定搭配。contribute to为固定搭配，意为“促成、造成”，符合语境。
3．are absorbed 解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据句意并分析句子结构可知，主语the special oils与absorb之间为被动关系，应用被动语态，又由从句所用的一般现在时可知，此处也应用一般现在时；又因主语为复数形式，故填are absorbed。be absorbed into... 意为“被吸收进……”。
4．them 解析：考查代词。空处作动词breathe的宾语，要用人称代词的宾格形式，故填them。
5．less 解析：考查形容词的比较级。根据本句中的than和语境可知，此处要用little的比较级形式，表示“需要较少的盐”。
6．a 解析：考查冠词。此处泛指“一种较为健康的选择”，且healthier的发音以辅音音素开头，故要用不定冠词a。
7．diseases 解析：考查名词的单复数。此处表示“大蒜和洋葱也能够预防许多疾病”，空前有many修饰，又因disease是可数名词，故应用其复数形式。
8．offending 解析：考查非谓语动词。本句中without是介词，后面一般接名词、代词或动词 ing 形式作宾语，故此处填offend的动词 ing形式offending。
9．that/which 解析：考查关系代词。分析句子结构可知，此处引导限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，先行词是the things，指物，故应用关系代词that/which引导该定语从句。
10．to see 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：但是如果你的口臭继续存在， 记得去看医生。remember to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“记得去做某事”，符合句意，故空处填动词不定式。

阅读下面的材料，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。
I could smell the turkey cooking, even in the attic where I was hiding out.I heard a laugh, too, and a bang from something being dropped.Our house was noisier since my new stepsister and step mother moved in—Jen and Mom.
I called her Mom, but the word felt uncomfortable, like a pair of shoes that pinched (夹脚)．I didn't remember my own mother, and she had died in an accident when I was a baby.It had always been just Dad and me.We were a team.Now, so much had changed, and sometimes I wished I had the magic to change it back.
I heard Dad's footsteps upstairs.“Do you want to take Jen skating？” he asked.
“I guess.” I sighed, thinking about how Dad and I usually spent Thanksgiving Day building a big snowman.But this year, Dad was too busy helping Mom cook the turkey.
“Thanks，” Dad said and put his arm around my shoulders.“We'll make that snowman later，” he promised.
“Yeah，” I agreed, not too sure we'd have time.
Mom handed us some homemade cookies with smiling faces as we grabbed our skates.I had to admit, Mom came up with good ideas sometimes.Even though I liked that, I still couldn't help but feel as if she were changing everything.
“No, thanks.I'm not hungry，” I said, although I was, a little.
“Ready？” I asked Jen.She nodded, and we headed out the front door.
The snow crunched under our boots as we walked down the street.The silence was awkward.“Did you go skating a lot last year？” I asked, blurting out the first thing that came to my mind.
Jen shook her head and looked at me.Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends on a farm.I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”
Until then, I'd never even thought about how Jen must be feeling.She not only had a new stepfather and stepbrother, she had a new town and home, too.Jen and her mom used to live near a lake, and she'd had to move up north with us.She'd had more changes than me.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Suddenly, I didn't feel quite so sorry for myself.

One possible version：
Suddenly, I didn't feel quite so sorry for myself.She seemed sad, now that I'd taken the time to notice.I decided to do something to cheer her up.“I have a better idea，” I said enthusiastically.“Come on—let's start back.” “OK，” agreed Jen, and a little smile caught at the corner of her mouth.Ten minutes later, Jen and I put our skates on the front porch, and I told her we can make a big snow turkey.“This is going to be great，” Jen said, grinning at me with rosy cheeks.
We were so busy making it that we didn't hear our parents come outside. “It's the biggest snow turkey I've ever seen.” said Mom with a grin.A moment later, we were all busy working on our giant creation.When our snow turkey was finished, Mom said to me, “Thanks for cheering Jen up.You're a good brother, and you come up with great ideas.” A happy feeling spread through me.I said, “I guess we make a good team.” The snow turkey helped me remember that everything could still work out even if it had to change.

(2021·山东历城二中第一次模拟)Literature reflects life.So in aging Japan there are a large number of hit books by aged authors.“Age 90：what's so great about it？” is a humorous essay on the difficulties of the elderly, by Aiko Sato, who is 95.It sold one million copies in 2017, making it Japan's best selling book that year.
In 2018 the Akutagawa Prize (芥川龙之介奖) went to Chisako Wakatake, 63 at the time, for her first novel I'll Live by Myself.The book talks about how to live in old age.Going to Die Soon, by Ms.Uchidate, features 78 year old Hana, a former alcohol shop owner trying to make the most of her remaining years.The novel has been called a book for shukatsu (为死亡做准备), or preparing for death, making readers think more deeply about what it means to age.
Japan's population has the world's highest percentage of over 65s.People are living longer, so many have at least 20－30 years of retirement, for much of which they are energetic.
And although the Japanese have been spending less on books, that is least true for the over 60s.
Lawson, a convenience store chain, recently decided to stock books with the older generation in mind.
But the elderly writers' books are attracting younger readers, too.Some are preparing for their own old age or want to understand the increasing number of old people they see around them.Others find relevance in the themes explored, such as loneliness, a problem that stretches well beyond the silver haired.
The most notable feature of the new trend is that the vast majority of authors, and main characters, are women.Especially popular are the ara hun (“around hundred” year old) writers like Ms.Sato, whose book, readers say, helps them be more positive.Their popularity also reflects support for strong women who are passionate about their work, a phenomenon that is all too rare in Japan today.

A．about how to stay positive in old age
B．which won the Akutagawa Prize in 2018
C．which helps people live the rest of the life to the fullest

A．Young readers now have more elder relatives.
B．Young readers face similar problems as the elderly.
C．Young readers are worried about becoming old.
D．Young readers are as lonely as the elderly.
7．What can we learn from the passage

B．An aging society brings more chances for women writers.
C．People have to work after their retirement in an aging society.
D．Ambitious career women might not be popular with the Japanese.

Ⅱ.读后续写
阅读下面的材料，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。
I could smell the turkey cooking, even in the attic where I was hiding out.I heard a laugh, too, and a bang from something being dropped.Our house was noisier since my new stepsister and step mother moved in—Jen and Mom.
I called her Mom, but the word felt uncomfortable, like a pair of shoes that pinched (夹脚)．I didn't remember my own mother, and she had died in an accident when I was a baby.It had always been just Dad and me.We were a team.Now, so much had changed, and sometimes I wished I had the magic to change it back.
I heard Dad's footsteps upstairs.“Do you want to take Jen skating？” he asked.
“I guess.” I sighed, thinking about how Dad and I usually spent Thanksgiving Day building a big snowman.But this year, Dad was too busy helping Mom cook the turkey.
“Thanks，” Dad said and put his arm around my shoulders.“We'll make that snowman later，” he promised.
“Yeah，” I agreed, not too sure we'd have time.
Mom handed us some homemade cookies with smiling faces as we grabbed our skates.I had to admit, Mom came up with good ideas sometimes.Even though I liked that, I still couldn't help but feel as if she were changing everything.
“No, thanks.I'm not hungry，” I said, although I was, a little.
“Ready？” I asked Jen.She nodded, and we headed out the front door.
The snow crunched under our boots as we walked down the street.The silence was awkward.“Did you go skating a lot last year？” I asked, blurting out the first thing that came to my mind.
Jen shook her head and looked at me.Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends on a farm.I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”
Until then, I'd never even thought about how Jen must be feeling.She not only had a new stepfather and stepbrother, she had a new town and home, too.Jen and her mom used to live near a lake, and she'd had to move up north with us.She'd had more changes than me.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
