B卷——大题提能练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2021·福建高三月考)About 50 feet from shore, two brothers were fighting for their lives. They had been swept out to sea in a rip current, their mouths barely able to stay above the water. Thick fog made it difficult for beachgoers on Northern California's Trinidad State Beach to see the guys, but the screams were unmistakable. The brothers, ages 15 and 20, were wearing shorts and T shirts, unsuitable for a November day, let alone the 50 degree water.
Luckily, four surfers in wet suits were nearby. Narayan Weibel, Spenser Stratton, and Adrian York, all 16, along with Tai Ortiz beck, 15, were on their surf boards riding up and down the coast on five foot waves when hearing the cries. They turned and saw two heads moving up and down repeatedly and four flailing arms.
“We looked at each other and knew these guys were about to drown”， Weibel told the Washington Post. Weibel, Stratton and Ortiz beck paddled (划) toward the distressed swimmers while York headed to shore to warn someone to call 911. He then dived back in to help his friends.
As the surfers drew close, the brothers were struggling. Ortiz beck pulled up alongside the younger brother. Grabbing him under his arms, he lifted him up onto his board. Stratton and Weibel, meanwhile, were trying their best to help the older brother. He was large, 250 to 300 pounds, and panicked. York arrived in time to help get the older brother at the top of the second board.
The surfers then paddled several minutes through rough water to the medical help waiting onshore. The brothers were scared but fine.
“When we get a call like this one, it's usually too late by the time we get there，” says Dillon Clevenger, a first responder. “I can't say enough about what these surfers did. They were willing and prepared to risk their lives.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了四个冲浪者救出被困的游泳者的故事。
1．What does the underlined word “flailing” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Desperately waving.
B．Tightly crossed.
C．Seriously injured.
D．Fully open.
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“They turned and saw two heads moving up and down repeatedly and four flailing arms.(他们转过身来，看到两个脑袋不停地上下移动，还有四只挥舞的手臂)”可知，受困的游泳者在水中应是拼命挥舞手臂使自己不会那么快沉下去。A项“Desperately waving.(拼命挥手)”符合文意。故选A。
2．Why did York make his way to the shore
A．To warn swimmers of danger.
B．To make an easy dive.
C．To have someone call for help.
D．To pull up the brother.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Weibel, Stratton and Ortiz beck paddled (划) toward the distressed swimmers while York headed to shore to warn someone to call 911.(威贝尔、斯特拉顿和奥尔蒂斯 贝克划着桨向受困的游泳者走去，约克则前往岸边，提醒人们拨打911)”可知，约克跑去岸边是为了提醒人们向911寻求帮助。C项“To have someone call for help.(让人打电话求救)”符合文意。故选C。
3．What can we learn from the words of Dillon
A．The accident was hard to avoid.
B．The surfers were brave and heroic.
C．The first responder got a call too late.
D．Swimming in the sea was not permitted.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第六段“当我们接到这样的电话时，通常我们到达那里的时候已经太晚了，”急救人员狄龙·克莱文杰说。“对于这些冲浪者所做的一切，我怎么说都不为过。他们愿意并且准备冒生命危险。”由此可推断，狄龙认为这些冲浪者十分的勇敢无畏。B项“The surfers were brave and heroic.(冲浪者们勇敢无畏)”符合文意。故选B。
4．What's the best title of the passage
A．A Report about Surfing
B．Two Brothers Fighting for Lives
C．An Adventure on Shore
D．Surfers Coming to the Rescue
D 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了四个冲浪者救出被困游泳者的事情，因此文章的中心人物是四个勇敢无畏的冲浪者。D项“Surfers Coming to the Rescue(前来救援的冲浪者)”为文章的最佳标题。故选D。

Water Skiing
Water skiing is an exciting water sport that can be a ton of fun. It takes a little patience to learn, but once you do, water skiing is a sport you can enjoy whenever you have a boat and enough flat water.
1．________ Every water skier needs water skis (滑水板) and they differ depending on the size of the skier and the experience level of the skier. Of course, no one can water ski alone, so you will need to find at least two people to go with you on your water skiing adventure. You and everyone you go with will have more fun if the friends you go with also want to water ski.2.________ After you have the boat, the people, and the skis, you will also need a water skiing cable (缆绳) and a life jacket.
For your first time water skiing, you may want to either take a lesson from an expert or find a friend that has experience to teach you.3.________ The observer rides in the boat, but watches the water skier for any signals and helps the driver know when to start and stop.
The person skiing starts by crouching(蹲伏) in the water; this is called a deep water start. The skis will float, but you want your body to be in a crouching position in the water. Your skis' tips should be pointing out of the water.4.________When you are ready, you give a signal to the driver of the boat, who starts speeding. Ideally you are pulled into an upright position with your skis underneath you, gliding along the surface of the water.5.________
A．You need a boat naturally.
B．Most people just enjoy regular water skiing.
C．The idea is to ski on the surface of the water.
D．Having a successful start will most likely take a few tries.
E．Your arms will be outstretched holding onto the cable tightly.
F．Before you start water skiing, there are a few supplies you'll need.
G．Of your two helpers, you need one to drive the boat and one to observe.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了能够带给人们无穷乐趣的一种体育运动——滑水，以及滑水前应该做的准备工作。
1．F 解析：考查段落主旨句。结合空后的“Every water skier needs water skis (滑水板)”“you will need to find at least two people”以及“After you have the boat, the people, and the skis，you will also need a water skiing cable (缆绳) and a life jacket.”可知，本段主要讲的是滑水前需要准备的物品，故选F。
2．A 解析：考查细节支撑句。空前提到了water skis和people，再结合空后的“After you have the boat, the people, and the skis，you will also need a water skiing cable (缆绳) and a life jacket.”可推断，该空应提到boat，故选A。
3．G 解析：考查细节支撑句。根据空后的observer和driver可知，该空需要引出两个人，即G项中的“one to drive the boat and one to observe”。
4．E 解析：考查细节支撑句。该空与前面一句“Your skis' tips should be pointing out of the water.”并列，讲的都是滑水前的准备动作，即滑水板的尖端应该露出水面，要张开双臂紧紧抓住缆绳，故选E。
5．D 解析：考查细节支撑句。空处设在段末，是对本段内容的概括总结。根据本段开头的“The person skiing starts by crouching (蹲伏) in the water”可知，本段讲的是如何开始滑水，故选D。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者有一个朋友，他无家可归。每到冬日作者都会给无家可归的人分发毛毯和手套等保暖物品。有一天，天气很寒冷，作者去找自己的朋友，却发现他把自己的毛毯给了另外一个无家可归的人，而自己却冻死了。作者深受触动，也感觉自己的力量太过渺小，觉得整个社会都应做出努力。

15．A.good B．sacrifices

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了针对海洋深处的世界的探索发现，包括其环境特点和生物特点。
1．largely 解析：考查副词。此处应用副词largely修饰后面的形容词unexplored。
2．and 解析：考查连词。此处考查“祈使句(表条件)＋and＋另一分句(表结果)”。此处表示潜到650英尺深的时候，你会注意到光开始迅速变暗。故用and连接。
3．lower 解析：考查形容词的比较级。根据“the＋比较级．..，the＋比较级．..(越……就越……)”句型可知，此处填lower。

5．to explore 解析：考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知，此处用不定式短语作后置定语，修饰前面的名词，故空处填to explore。

8．which 解析：考查定语从句的关系词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰表示物的先行词project，所以填which。
9．collected 解析：考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语动词contributed，故空处为非谓语动词。空后为by the Census，且collect与data and information之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故填其过去分词形式collected。
10．to 解析：考查介词。此处考查固定用法contribute sth.to sth.，意为“把某物添加到某物”，故空处填介词to。

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。
Located halfway up the Italy’s Apennine Mountain, about 100 miles northeast of Rome, the Hotel Rigopiano has never been easy to reach. But its isolation (隔绝) only adds to its appeal, attracting a great number of tourists.
Snow began to fall across the Apennines in January and lasted for days. From his home in the Rome suburbs, Matrone watched the weather with concern. He and his wife, Cicioni, had planned an overnight getaway to the hotel. But now they wondered whether they should go. After phoning the hotel, they decided to make the trip. By the time they neared the hotel six hours later, they were battling a snowstorm. When they finally arrived, they were both cold and exhausted. They checked into their room and went to bed early.
As they awoke the next day, they discovered that their difficulty had worsened overnight. The cars in the parking lot were invisible. The phone and power lines were down. They were having breakfast when the hotel began to shake. An earthquake with a magnitude (震级) of 5.7 had struck the mountain. “Get out of here！” Matrone shouted to his wife. They headed quickly to the parking lot, where others were digging their cars. Fifteen minutes after the first earthquake, another quake hit, this one measuring 5.6.
With a dozen vehicles freed by noon, the guests set off down the driveway. But when they reached the main road, the path was blocked by a six foot high wall of snow. Matrone climbed out of his car and investigated it. There was no road in sight. “We're trapped！” he told his wife. So they had no choice but to make their way back to the hotel.
As it was getting dark, they managed to be back. That was when the snow on the mountain began to slide. They heard the avalanche (雪崩) before they saw it. The avalanche gathered speed and size, grabbing rocks and trees and anything else in its way down the mountain, tearing the hotel from its foundation. When the avalanche came to a stop, those caught inside the hotel were left buried in the icy rocks and ruins.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
When Matrone came to himself, he was stuck in the darkness.________________________________________________________________________

One possible version：
When Matrone came to himself, he was stuck in the darkness. Lying on his stomach, he realized with horror that he was under something heavy and couldn't move at all.“Cicioni! Cicioni！”he called, but there was no response. He could hear nothing of what was happening at the surface. The whole world was dead still. What he had to face was a terrible reality—they were buried alive. Despair washed over him. He asked himself again and again，“Who is going to save us？”
It was not until the next morning that the rescuers finally arrived. Without any hesitation they got down to detecting the remains of the hotel and they were delighted to discover there was sign of life beneath. With great efforts they removed the thick snow and began cutting the roof. Then they carefully lowered themselves through the hole they'd made. Suddenly, they heard someone crying for help in a weak voice. It was Matrone. Later all the survivors were rescued including Matrone's wife. The couple felt really lucky to be still alive!

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。
Located halfway up the Italy’s Apennine Mountain, about 100 miles northeast of Rome, the Hotel Rigopiano has never been easy to reach. But its isolation (隔绝) only adds to its appeal, attracting a great number of tourists.
Snow began to fall across the Apennines in January and lasted for days. From his home in the Rome suburbs, Matrone watched the weather with concern. He and his wife, Cicioni, had planned an overnight getaway to the hotel. But now they wondered whether they should go. After phoning the hotel, they decided to make the trip. By the time they neared the hotel six hours later, they were battling a snowstorm. When they finally arrived, they were both cold and exhausted. They checked into their room and went to bed early.
As they awoke the next day, they discovered that their difficulty had worsened overnight. The cars in the parking lot were invisible. The phone and power lines were down. They were having breakfast when the hotel began to shake. An earthquake with a magnitude (震级) of 5.7 had struck the mountain. “Get out of here！” Matrone shouted to his wife. They headed quickly to the parking lot, where others were digging their cars. Fifteen minutes after the first earthquake, another quake hit, this one measuring 5.6.
With a dozen vehicles freed by noon, the guests set off down the driveway. But when they reached the main road, the path was blocked by a six foot high wall of snow. Matrone climbed out of his car and investigated it. There was no road in sight. “We're trapped！” he told his wife. So they had no choice but to make their way back to the hotel.
As it was getting dark, they managed to be back. That was when the snow on the mountain began to slide. They heard the avalanche (雪崩) before they saw it. The avalanche gathered speed and size, grabbing rocks and trees and anything else in its way down the mountain, tearing the hotel from its foundation. When the avalanche came to a stop, those caught inside the hotel were left buried in the icy rocks and ruins.
