B卷——大题提能练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2021·广州高三阶段训练)The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long distance trade route of the ancient world.This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civilizations.Although merchants could make huge profits traveling on the road, it was not without risk.
The main Silk Road started in Chang'an (known today as Xi'an), the early Han Dynasty's capital.Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China's northwestern provinces.After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth.This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklimakan Desert.Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.
So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink.These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there.Usually, the rest stops were placed within a day's journey of each other.In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them be targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road.
Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe.While this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without peril.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。作为古代最出名的商道，丝绸之路让商人们可以经此挣钱， 但也伴随着种种风险。
1．The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to “________”．
A．making huge profits
B．traveling on the Silk Road
C．exchanging goods and ideas
D．connecting different civilizations
B 解析：代词指代题。本句是一个主从复合句，前半句为让步状语从句，前后形成转折， 表示尽管穿行丝绸之路的商人可以获得高收益， 但这也不是没有危险的，且下文讲到的危险也都与行走在丝绸之路上相关，所以it指代的应该是“行走在丝绸之路上”，故选B。
2．Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts
A．The desert's surface was easier to walk on.
B．Camels for transportation were easier to find.
C．It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.
D．There were more natural water sources available.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth.This feature made it easier for traders to travel across”可知，戈壁滩之所以较好穿越是由于其地面较为坚硬、好走。故选A。
3．What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert
A．They offered travelers free accommodation.
B．They were located around the edges of the desert.
C．Travelers staying there were often attacked by criminals.
D．They were shared by travelers from different countries.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there.”可推知，休息处接待来自不同国家的旅客，促进货物交换，思想交流，故选D。
4．What is the passage mainly about
A．The origins of the Silk Road.
B．The benefits of the Silk Road.
C．The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.
D．The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.
C 解析：主旨大意题。根据文章结构可知，作者在第一段给出了中心句“Although merchants could make huge profits traveling on the road, it was not without risk.”，在中间几段讲述了商旅们在戈壁滩上面临的困难以及其他危险， 最后一段再次强调即使过了戈壁滩， 但还有其他危险等待着他们，故选C。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2021·烟台诊断性测试)The Slow Food Movement started in Rome, Italy in 1986.When a new McDonald's was opening near a beautiful historic place, some people stood outside the restaurant and shouted, “We do not want fast food.We want slow food！”

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了兴起于意大利的“慢食运动”及其目的。
1．G 解析：上文提到当一家快餐店在历史名城罗马附近开业后，一些人坚决抵制而发起了“慢食运动”；下文是卡洛·彼得里尼在餐馆尝出来自国外的辣椒的口感与他记忆中的不同而集结了一群人并发起了“慢食运动”。所以空处应该是说除了前面提到的那件事，还有一件事促使“慢食运动”的兴起。故G项符合语境。
2．B 解析：本段说明卡洛·彼得里尼发起了“慢食运动”，下面三段分层次说了食物应该质量优良、清洁和价格合理。故此空填B选项，说明该运动的目的是让人们有质量优良、清洁、价格合理的食物，且B选项与下文对应。
3．E 解析：空前说好的食物应该是合时令的。所以此空应该与食物生长的时令有关，故E项符合语境。
4．C 解析：空前说化学物质会损害农场周围的自然环境。下文说清洁的食物不会伤害人的身体或者环境。所以此空应该是说化学物质对人体也有伤害。
5．A 解析：空前说食物应该价格公道，空后说所有人应该都能买健康的食物。所以此空应该说食物不应该太昂贵。
Ⅲ.完形填空

1．an 解析：考查冠词。句意：岳阳楼是一座位于洞庭湖畔的中式古楼。tower为单数可数名词，此处泛指“一座中式古楼”，用不定冠词，又因为空后的ancient为发音以元音音素开头的单词，故填an。
2．written 解析：考查非谓语。句意：岳阳楼因范仲淹写的《岳阳楼记》而闻名……设空处在此处为非谓语作后置定语，修饰Memorial to Yueyang Tower, 且write与之为逻辑上的被动关系，要用过去分词written，故填written。
3．Lying 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：岳阳楼位于中国湖南省岳阳市古城西门之上，前望君山，下瞰洞庭湖，景色极其优美壮观，令人叹为观止。分析句子成分可知，设空处应填非谓语，动词lie与其逻辑主语Yueyang Tower构成主动关系，应用现在分词形式，且位于句首，故填Lying。
4．impressive 解析：考查词性转换。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，设空处与beautiful并列，共同作being的表语，应用形容词形式，故填impressive。
5．has enjoyed/has been enjoying 解析：考查动词的时态。句意：自古以来，它就一直享有“洞庭天下水，岳阳天下楼”之美誉。分析句子成分可知，设空处应是谓语动词，又根据Since ancient times可知，该处用现在完成时或现在完成进行时。故填has enjoyed或has been enjoying。
6．best 解析：考查形容词的比较等级。句意同上。根据设空前的the及后面的among lakes可知，此处应用所给词的最高级形式，故填best。
7．building 解析：考查词性转换。句意：它是中国仅存的盔顶结构的古建筑。根据前面的修饰语the only ancient可知，设空处应用所给词的名词形式，故填building。
8．for 解析：考查介词。句意：唐朝(618－907)之前，岳阳楼主要用于军事。be used for是固定短语，意为“被用于”，故填for。
9．gradually 解析：考查词性转换。句意：唐朝之后，它逐渐成为一个著名景点，文人雅士们在这里吟诗作赋。分析句子成分可知，设空处修饰动词became，作状语，要用所给词的副词形式，故填gradually。
10．which 解析：考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子成分可知，此处是由“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，先行词为scenic spot，要用关系代词which指代，故填which。

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。
(2021·石家庄高中毕业班教学质量检测)I prided myself on being a good neighbor. My husband, Charles, and I knew everyone who lived along our rural road.Walking that road, I thought about how we all relied on each other. We picked up mail for people on vacation, lent out tools，and watched each other's children. Each house I passed held a friendly association.
Except Kelly's.
It hadn't always been this way. At one time, Kelly and I had a good relationship. Our children were close in age and often played together. Our husbands were playmates. I never went by her house without waving or stopping to chat if I saw her outside.
Not anymore. If Kelly was out in her yard when I walked or drove by, I acted as if I hadn't seen her and there had been a big wall between us. At first it felt satisfying to let Kelly know what I thought of her. Today the sight of her house just made me sad.
How did things go wrong It had all started with a cat. A stray(无主的宠物) who turned up in my driveway. That wasn't unusual. I already had two stray cats I had adopted as well as a dog. But this cat was violent. He drove my own cats away from their food bowls and hissed at me when I tried to drive him off.
Imagine my surprise a few days later when Kelly announced that she was taking in the cat. “I think he's sweet，” she said.
I didn't even know that Kelly liked cats. She'd never had one before as far as I knew. Living with Kelly didn't make the cat any friendlier. He constantly showed up on our porch, stealing our cats' food and picking fights. “That cat's out of control，” I said to Kelly angrily over the phone one day. “I've had enough of it.”
“He's always perfectly sweet with us！” Kelly said, getting defensive. “I have no idea that you dislike him so much.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
That was the first brick in the wall between us.

One possible version：
That was the first brick in the wall between us. On a sunny day, I was bathed in the beautiful sunshine when suddenly the cat jumped on my laps. It seemed to come out of nowhere so my hair almost stood on end. Bouncing up from my chair, I dropped the cat hard on the ground and ran after it. While this was going on, Kelly was just standing on her balcony glaring at me. “That was how you treat my cat？” she shouted. A brick turned into a wall from the noon.
One day，when I was walking on that road again, I saw Kelly smiling at me.I smiled back，saying，“ I was sorry for the cat the other day！” She admitted the cat was not friendly sometimes and that her husband had sent it to the “Stray Cats Shelter”．“Our relationship is not that easy to break，isn't it？” She looked at me in the eye. We burst into laughter immediately and gone was the wall.UNIT 3 DIVERSE CULTURES

(2021·广州高三阶段训练)The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long distance trade route of the ancient world.This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civilizations.Although merchants could make huge profits traveling on the road, it was not without risk.
The main Silk Road started in Chang'an (known today as Xi'an), the early Han Dynasty's capital.Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China's northwestern provinces.After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth.This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklimakan Desert.Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.
So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink.These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there.Usually, the rest stops were placed within a day's journey of each other.In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them be targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road.
Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe.While this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without peril.

(2021·石家庄高中毕业班教学质量检测)I prided myself on being a good neighbor. My husband, Charles, and I knew everyone who lived along our rural road.Walking that road, I thought about how we all relied on each other. We picked up mail for people on vacation, lent out tools，and watched each other's children. Each house I passed held a friendly association.
Except Kelly's.
It hadn't always been this way. At one time, Kelly and I had a good relationship. Our children were close in age and often played together. Our husbands were playmates. I never went by her house without waving or stopping to chat if I saw her outside.
Not anymore. If Kelly was out in her yard when I walked or drove by, I acted as if I hadn't seen her and there had been a big wall between us. At first it felt satisfying to let Kelly know what I thought of her. Today the sight of her house just made me sad.
How did things go wrong It had all started with a cat. A stray(无主的宠物) who turned up in my driveway. That wasn't unusual. I already had two stray cats I had adopted as well as a dog. But this cat was violent. He drove my own cats away from their food bowls and hissed at me when I tried to drive him off.
Imagine my surprise a few days later when Kelly announced that she was taking in the cat. “I think he's sweet，” she said.
I didn't even know that Kelly liked cats. She'd never had one before as far as I knew. Living with Kelly didn't make the cat any friendlier. He constantly showed up on our porch, stealing our cats' food and picking fights. “That cat's out of control，” I said to Kelly angrily over the phone one day. “I've had enough of it.”
“He's always perfectly sweet with us！” Kelly said, getting defensive. “I have no idea that you dislike him so much.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
That was the first brick in the wall between us.
