【文章综述】本文是一说明文,主要讲 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )述短语“Put yourself in someone else's shoes.”的含义、来历,并教给人们学会换位思考。
【答案解析】
66.an 考查冠词。idiom是以元音音素开头,表示“一个”用an。
67.what 考查what引导的宾语从句,what在从句中作do的宾语。
68.that 考查同位语从句。that引导同位语从句,仅起引导作用,无任何含义。
69.on 考查动词短语。put on穿上。
70.them 考查代词。them代指前文的shoes。
71.for/because of 考查介词。for表示原因,detain sb for sth因为某事而扣留某人。
72.privately 考查副词。副词修饰动词say。
73.to be put 考查不定式的被动式。句子的主语是put的动作承受者,故用不定式的被动式,也可用putting。
74.their 考查代词。名词situation前缺少形容词性物主代词作定语,与前面和后面的their相对应。
75.(has)expressed 考查时态。句子无明显时态标志词,根据语境判断应用过去时或现在完成时。

阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
The Western ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )has been the favorite type for American adventure story since the nineteenth centu ry. While the American West was being settled, newspapers and "dime novels" could depend on stories of the frontier settlements and tell tales about living in the untamed wilderness to sell. The public back East was eager to read about the West, even if the stories were more fiction than fact.
In 1902, Owen Wiste ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r published his novel The Virginian, which was one of the first novels to treat the Western as a serious literary form; the novel still sold well and had inspired several movies and a television series. In 1905, Bertha H. Bower and Zane Grey published their first novels, and the popular Western novels had continued to flourish from that day on, with current novels by Luke Short, Max Brand, and Louis L’ Amour carrying on the tradition.
The first West ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ern movie appeared even earlier than these serious Western novels. Before the turn of the century, an associate of Edison’s had filmed Cripple Creek Barroom Scene, a few seconds of film showing the inside of a saloon, to help publicize the invention of the movie camera. In 1903 the Edison’ company filmed the first "full-length" Western — The Great Train Robbery. The film lasts less than fifteen minutes, but a story is told its entirety. In the movie, bandits (强盗) rob a train and its passengers, killing the engineer, and find themselves tracked down by a posse. Audiences loved the movie. Some theaters were actually opened for the single purpose of showing The Great Train Rob bery and only later realized that they could do equally well showing other movies. The film was so suc cessful that other companies, and finally even the Edison company itself, began producing copies and other versions of The Great Train Robbery. Ironically, in" an era when the West was still very real —-Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma were all territories rather than states in 1903 — The Great Train Robbery was filmed in New Jersey.
1. The purpose of this passage is to________.
A. discuss the making of the movie The Great Train Robbery
B. discuss the early Western novels
C. discuss the art of movie making
D. trace the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) development of the Western as an American adventure story tradition
2. We can conclude from this passage that________.
A. people lost interest in the West after 1903
B. Owen Wister was an ex-cowboy
C. New Jersey was still "untamed wilderness" in 1903
D. films wer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e fairly uncommon at the time The Great Train Robbery was made
3. The passage suggests that________.
A. Edison’s invention of the movie camera happened;by accident
B. movie houses didn’t make much-money in the early days
C. Easterners were fascinated by the " wild West"
D. The Great Train Rob ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bery was poorly received by the public because it lacked a plot
4. As used in this passage, the word “literary” means________.
A. humorous B. financial
C. appropriate to literature D. amateur
【答案解析】
1. D 推断题。从1902年出版的小 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )说,1903年拍的一部电影,到1905年的第一批小说等,作者如此不吝惜笔墨,是为了追溯具有冒险故事传统的美国西部发展史。故D项是正确答案。
2. D 推断题。第三段,通过The Gre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at Train Robbery影片的成功放映,人们才开始认识到在影剧院也可以同样放映一些其它影片,于是其它制片公司甚至于the Edison公司本身便开始生产其副本及The Great Train Robbery的其它译本。通过以上信息,我们得出的结论应是D项所表达的内容,那一时期的电影并非相当普及。
3. C 推断题。第一段最 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )后一句的was eager to read about the West(渴望看一些有关西部的书),与题中were fascinated by the wild West (对荒芜的西部着了迷)表达了同样的信息,故C项为正确答案。
4. C 词义题。根据上下文关系以及关键词语novels和form可推知literary的词义。因为“小说”与“形式”应属于“文学”范围。2015高考英语安徽黄山市语法填空及阅读类自选练习(3)及答案

Very old people do ra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can’t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering(干涉) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance(机械维修,保养) as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results will be. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body Is it morally right to try to push off death by seeking the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die You can’t ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope.
When you talk to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
1. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. The values are different between the old and the young.
B. The moral problems raised by old people.
C. The personal freedom for the old.
D. Old people’s viewpoint on life.
2. We can know from the first paragraph that________.
A. Very old people wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld like to live alone to have more personal freedom.
B. Very old people are able to keep their room clean.
C. Very old people like to live with their children.
D. Social services have nothing to do with very old people.
3. According to the author, which of the following is right
A. The older a person, the more care he needs.
B. Too much emphasis has been put on old people’s values.
C. The human body can’t be compared to a car.
D. It is easy to provide spare parts for old people.
4.The underlined wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”.
A. their money or their health
B. the conclusion you come to
C. your talk to the old people
D. whether age is happy or unpleasant

阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
There are various ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) reasons why cancers appear to be on the increase. For one thing, though their sufferers are to be found in all age groups, cancers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years. Naturally, since people live longer these years, there are more cancer sufferers than before. Again, with better methods of diagnosis (诊断), doctors can more easily recog nize cancerous growths that would formerly have passed unnoticed or that would have been wrongly di agnosed. It is also believed that certain habits and conditions of modem living, including heavy smok ing and the pollution of the air, may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions than before.
We all look forwar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d to the day when a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small. Researchers around the world are working on such a test. Most of their work deals with the examina tion of the blood.
Researchers in Bo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ston have found something in the blood of cancer patients that does not appear in healthy persons. The test showed which persons had cancer and which did not. It was correct more than 90 percent of the time.
The researchers bel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ieve the test may be able to show cancer very clearly in its development. Cancers discovered early usually can be treated successfully.
The test examine ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s very small bits of fat in the blood called lipids (脂质). Cancers seem to change lipids although doctors do not know why. The test showed differences between the lipids of the persons with cancer and the lipids of those without cancer.
The research ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers say the new test could be a step to develop a simple way to check patients for cancer before the disease shows on an X-ray.
1. Who will fail cancer from the study of the researchers
A. The young. B. The middle age and the older.
C. The man. D. The woman.
2. The underlined words "such a test" refer to________.
A. the test that sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ws which persons have cancer and which don’t .
B. the test that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) may be able to show cancer very early in its development,.
C. a simple medical test that cannot find cancer when it is -small
D. a new test that could be a step to develop a difficult way
3. Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )following statements is true according to the passage
A. Cancers have much to do with something in patients’ blood.
B. People li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ving in better conditions are most likely to be attacked by cancer.
C.X-raying is t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he best way to determined whether a person has cancer or not.
D. Cancers have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) nothing to do with a person’s habits and living conditions.
4. What would be the best title for the passage
A. A simple way to cancer B. Cancers can be cured
C. How to find cancer D. Early discovery of cancer
1. B 细节题。从第一段中的ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ncers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years可以知道癌症尤其容易在中年人和老年人的身体上发生。
2. B 词义题。第二段中的a simp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le medical test can find cancer while it is still small;test与后面的such a test指的是同样的一种方法,所以这里的test指的是上句的“用最简单的方法诊断早期的癌症”。
3. A 细节题。第三段中提到了 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cancer病人血液中的有些东西在健康人中没有,并且百分之九十以上的情况是这样的。B项与D项的意思与文章第一段中的certain habits and conditions of modern living including heavy smoking and pollution of the air may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions不符;C项内容与文章最后一段的意思不符。
4. D 主旨题。文章在开头就交代了写 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )作的目的,有各种不同的理由说明了为什么癌症似乎在上升,而从后面的几段我们知道科学家们正在研究一种新的早期诊断cancer的方法。2015高考英语安徽黄山市语法填空及阅读类自选练习(10)及答案

However, some unu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sual name choices of celebrities’ babies are beyond easy translation, the company admits,__10__ as Jermajesty — the name of Michael Jackson’ s brother Jermaine’s son.
1. [解析] 考查词性转换。空格前为形容词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )修饰语,而且此处是cause sb.sth.的结构,因此断定此处需要填名词,embarrass的名词形式为embarrassment。
[答案] embarrassment
2. [解析] 结合语境考 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )查形容词性物主代词。名词前设空答案首先考虑限定词,因为上文提到“Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes”,所以用their,意为“他们的女儿”。此处表示“名人夫妇Tom Cruise和Katie Holmes要是知道Suri这个名字在其他语言里的意义的话,他们也许会三思后再起名字了”。
[答案] their
3. [解析] 结合语境考查动词的时态。由上文“might have thought”可知,条件句中应用“had+过去分词”。
[答案] had known
4. [解析] 结合语境考查介词。此处for表示交换,此处表示公司给你提供名字方面的调查服务是要收取一定的服务费的。
[答案] For
5. [解析] 结合语境 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )考查现在分词作伴随状语。文章中的“__5__(check)their meaning in 100 languages”作伴随状语;设空处的动词与主句的主语是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用check的现在分词形式。
[答案] checking
6. [解析] 结合语境考查代词的用法 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。空格位于宾语从句的谓语动词之前,因此此处需要能作主语的名词或代词。上文刚出现过the firm,所以此处用it来代替它。
[答案] it
7. [解析] 考查which引导的非 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )限制性定语从句。此处which引导的定语从句是修饰Kai Rooney这个名字的,which在定语从句中作主语。
[答案] which
8. [解析] 结合语境考查连词。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )此处意为“尽管音乐家Gwen Stefani和Gavin Rossdale也许知道Zuma在阿拉伯语中的意思是和平,但是他们也许不知道……”。前后两个分句之间有逻辑上的让步关系,故此处应填While/Although/Though。
[答案] While/Although/Though
9. [解析] 结合语境考查“连词+分词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )”型省略句。连词后设空且给出动词提示词,这时要首先考虑动词和句子主语的关系,若是主谓关系就用现在分词,此处主语和choose之间就是主谓关系。
[答案] choosing
10.[解析] 结合语境考查such ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) as的用法。此处such as用于列举事物。句意:然而有些名人的孩子的名字不好翻译,例如乔丹的弟弟的儿子的名字Jermajesty就不好翻译。
[答案] such

“35______ if the me ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n refuse to follow my orders ” Rogers asked. He thought of Tony, an immigrant worker who roared all day, giving the other men a hard time.

Rogers asked him how he came to California and happened to have such success.

Until about 150 yea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs ago, the most important, expensive and renowned kind of painting was large-scale pictures that told a story, regarded as the 16 (hard) challenge for an artist. 17 (choose) suitable subjects, artists had to be well-read. Then they had to know 18 stories could be told without words, using only gestures and expressions. To create lifelike scenes, they had to understand perspective, lighting and anatomy. So history painting needed a lot of thought and 19 . (imagine). Large-scale pictures used to be reserved for grand religious or patriotic subjects, but that changed in the 19th century, as artists began creating history paintings based 20 contemporary news stories. One of the first of these was The Raft of the Medusa, inspired by the wreck of 21 French ship in 1816, which showed how art could have a powerful political impact. It presents a scene 22 the survivors of the wreck on a raft littered with bodies try to signal to a distant ship. When they 23 ( rescue ), they told how they had been abandoned by their captain, while he sailed to safety in a lifeboat. Starving, they had to eat each other to survive—though this picture makes 24 look heroic rather than violent. The picture caused a huge outcry. Some people thought the artist meant to criticize the French king, 25 had been involved in appointing the ship's captain.

5 Nanjing has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved 6 its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks 7 to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also 8 thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year, 9 travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is 10 to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing.

There is perhaps no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) more 15 symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. 16 offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.

Maggie was very glad t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat James was not a frequent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “It’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”
In fact James came onc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.
Maggie paid hi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’s voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock.
Maggie’s childre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words, “lost two wives and taken a third, ” They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.
1. The underlined wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d “mercy” in the text most probably means _______.
A. loss B. wonder C. lucky thing D. terrible thing
2. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because _______.
A. he was a man difficult to please
B. she never knew when he was coming
C. she was too busy looking after her children
D. he never stayed long enough for a meal
3. What do we know about James’ behavior
A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.
B. He was generous, especially towards his brother.
C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the kids.
D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.
4. Maggie felt pleased when _______.
A. she paid James the money that she owed him
B. James gave some money to the children
C. she had to wake James up to catch his train
D. James thanked her for the nice supper
5. The children did not realize that two of James’ wives _______.
A. had been dead B. suffered from loss of memory
C. had run away from him D. might appear again one day
【答案与解析】
本文讲Maggie和她的孩子们对他们的叔叔James来访的不欢迎。
1. C。词义猜测题。Maggie不喜欢James的来访, 由此可以说他不常来是一件幸运的事,所以答案为C。
2. B。事实细节题。根据 In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly可知答案为B。
3. D。推理判断题。根据 excep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her可知他对Maggie的态度不是很友好,故答案为D。
4. B。推理判断题。根据 Mag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction可知答案为B。
5. A。推理判断题。根据 Th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ey wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies可知答案为A。2015高考英语安徽黄山市语法填空及阅读类自选练习(8)及答案

阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。
There was once a beau ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tiful girl who hated herself because she was blind. She also hated everyone else, except her __1__ (love) boyfriend who was considerate and was always there to help her. One day she told her boyfriend, “You __2__ (be) so kind to me and if I could only see the world, I should marry you.”
One day, someone ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) donated a pair of eyes to her. Doctors spent several hours doing __3__ (operate) for her and the boy accompanied her at the bedside all the time. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, her boyfriend __4__ (include), of course.
He asked her, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) “Now __5__ you can see the world, will you marry me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind, too.
The sight of __6__ ugly closed eyelids shocked her and made her feel sick. She had not expected that, and __7__ thought of looking at them in the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend left _ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )_8__ tears and a few days later sent a note to her, __9__ said,“Please take good care of your eyes, my dear, because before they are yours, they were __10__!”
After reading ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the words, the girl burst out crying, regretting what she had done to the boy.
1. [解析] 结合语境考查非谓语动词。由下 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文“who was considerate and was always there to help her”可得出答案。loving是由love去掉e后加ing构成的,loving意为“充满爱的”。
[答案] loving
2. [解析] 考查时态。在间接引语中,当动作或状态现在仍然如此时,可以保持原时态。故此处应用are。
[答案] are
3. [解析] 考查词性转换。由设空特点可以看出此处需要一个名词作动词do的宾语,所以应用operate的名词形式operation。
[答案] operation
4. [解析] 考查独立主格结构 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。注意主句和“her boyfriend________”之间缺少连接词,而且boyfriend与动词include之间为动宾关系,所以用过去分词与“her boyfriend”一起构成独立主格结构。
[答案] included
5. [解析] 结合语境考查连词。now that意为“既然,由于”。句意为“他问她‘既然你见到了光明,你愿意嫁给我吗?’”。
[答案] that
6. [解析] 结合语境考查形容词性物主代词。此处是指男孩的眼睑紧闭,故用his较为妥当。
[答案] his
7. [解析] 结合语境考查冠词。名词前设空答案首先考虑限定词,结合题意可知此处应填the。thought意为”想法,主意”。
[答案] the
8. [解析] 结合语境考查介词。由语境判断,女孩的做法使男孩非常伤心,男孩流着泪离开了。in tears“泪流满面地”。
[答案] in
9. [解析] 结合语境考查非限制性 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )定语从句。关系代词which代指前面的先行词note,在定语从句中充当主语。注意空格前面的逗号,此处which不可用that替换。
[答案] which
10.[解析] 结合语境 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )考查名词性物主代词。由前面的“before they are yours”可知,后面也应用名词性物主代词;此处是男孩留言的内容,应用第一人称,所以用mine。
[答案] mine

Today, ultrasonic(超声的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )) waves are being put to work in laboratories and factories. If an ultrasound generator is placed in a liquid, the waves move the liquid back and forth hundreds of thousands of times each second. This causes materials to mix quickly or to dissolve(使分解,使溶解) in liquids. Paint manufacturers(制造商) use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors. The companies that make film for your camera find that mixing chemicals by the use of sound waves will produce a more sensitive film.
The new ligh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tweight(轻量的) type of washing machine uses ultrasonic waves to get clothes clean. Its special ultrasound generator is put into a pail of soapy water containing the soiled clothes. The sound waves drive the soapy water back and forth through the cloth so fast that everything is soon clean. There is also a new kind of dishwasher that works in much the same way.
Ultrasonic waves can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) shake a liquid so fast that tiny holes form all through it. The liquid is actually torn apart by this action. Almost as soon as these holes are made, they fall together again. The result is a powerful pounding action. In the dairy industry this is used for the double purpose of making homogenized(使均匀,使匀质) milk and sterilizing(使无菌) it at the same time. If you look at some raw milk with a microscope, you find that it is made up of little drops of butter fat floating around in a watery liquid. In order to make milk easier to digest, these fat droplets(微粒) may be broken up by forcing the milk through very small openings. The result is called homogenized milk. When the ultrasonic method is used, the sound waves not only break up the droplets but also kill the germs in the milk by pounding them to pieces. (from www.)
1. Why does a p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aint manufacturer use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors
A. Because it is cheap to use ultrasound to blend colors.
B. Because the w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aves move the liquid so quickly that it can make materials mix quickly or dissolve in liquids.
C. Because they can mix chemicals by the use of sound waves.
D. Because the waves can clean the paint.
2. What properties does ultrasound wave have
A. Homogeniz ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es and sterilizes the milk. B. Mix materials and break droplets.
C. Kill germs and sterilize milk. D. Move liquids quickly.
3. What exists in the raw milk
A. Little drops of butter fat. B. Small holes.
C. Fat droplets and germs. D. Chemicals.
4. Where is ultrasound wave not used
A. In the paint manufacture. B. In the shop mixing bread flour.
C. In the film-making company. D. In the dairy industry.
1. B 事实细节题。根据其上句 T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )his causes materials to mix quickly or to dissolve(使分解,使溶解) in liquids 可知,答案选 B。
2. D 事实细节题。根据文章最后一段的第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )1 句 Ultrasonic waves can shake a liquid so fast that tiny holes form all through it可知,答案选 D。
3. C 事实细节题。根据文章最后一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段的内容,特别是最后一句 When the ultrasonic method is used, the sound waves not only break up the droplets but also kill the germs in the milk by pounding them to pieces 可知,答案选 C
4. B 推理判断题。根据文章第 1 段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )最后提到的 Paint manufacturers(制造商)…以及The companies that make film… 两句排除选项 A、C,根据第 3 段第 5 句的 In the dairy industry this is used for… 排除选项 D,从而得出答案是 B。2015高考英语安徽黄山市语法填空及阅读类自选练习(7)及答案

What does it mean to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) say that we live in a world of persuasion It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority (优先) over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic/inter est may have other choices.
In such a world, per ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )suasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail — other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situ ation, and the merit of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.
Some people, howe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ver, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable — to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical (合乎道义的) or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrad ing. Persuaders may enlighten our mind or prey on our vulnerability. Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of edu cation is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.
Beyond its pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rsonal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution (美国宪法).
1. According to the passage, persuasion means ________.
A. changing others’ points of view
B. exercising power over other people
C. getting other people to consider your point of view
D. getting people to agree with you and do what you want
2. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d word in the second paragraph “prevail” means________.
A. win B. fail C. speak D. listen
3. The passage states ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that some people object to persuasion because they think it is ________.
A. a danger to society B. difficult to do well
C. unwelcome behavior D. never successful
4. The passage mainly discusses ________.
A. how people persuade
B. why people persuade
C. that persuasion is both good and bad
D. that persuasion is important and it is all around us
【答案与解析】
1. C 细节题。将第二段中per ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )suasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view与各选项进行比较可知。
2. A 词义题。由破折号后面的句子 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )other points of view may be more persuasive可知,我们不一定占上风,故选A。
3. C 细节题。由第三段中第一二句Some people…into their lives可知。

“Now, pull up with you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow.

If the population of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the Earth keeps on __1__(increase) at its present rate,there will __2__(event) not be enough resources left to support life on the planet. By the middle of the 21st century,if present trends continue,we __3__(use) up all the oil that drive our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on Earth will make it __4__(necessity) for us to look for somewhere else. But __5__ of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem,__6__, has recently been suggested by an American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan. Sagarn believes that __7__ the Earth’s resources are completely __8_(exhaust) ,it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and __9__ create a new world almost as large as Earth itself. Something is difficult. Venus is much hotter than the Earth. __10__, there is only a tiny amount of water there.
1.[解析] 考查短语keep on doing的用法。
[答案] increasing
2.[解析] There will no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t be enough resources的主谓结构是完整的,所以只能用event的副词形式eventually作状语。
[答案] eventually
3.[解析] 时间状语是by+将来时间,谓语用将来完成时态。
[答案] will have used
4.[解析] 考查句型make+it+adj.+for+sb.+to do sth.。
[答案] necessary
5.[解析] 考查理解和代词。根据意 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )思应该是“其他行星中到目前为止还没有一个适合生命的生存。”none of+复数名词/不可数名词,表示“……中没有一个。”
[答案] none
6.[解析] 考查上下文理解和行文逻辑。前文说“没办法”,这里说“可能的解决方案”所以用“however”表示转折。
[答案] however
7.[解析] 考查内容理解和从句。这里应该是“在地球的资源完全枯竭之前”,所以用before。
[答案] before
8.[解析] 是个及物动词,“耗尽,用完”,这里应该用被动语态。
[答案] exhausted
9.[解析] 考虑到行文逻辑,这里表示的是结果,因此,so/therefore是最佳措辞。
[答案] so/therefore
10.[解析] 考查行文逻辑。文章最后两句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )很明显是解释something is difficult这句话。有两件事是困难的,除了Venus比地球热得多,另一难题是那里的水有限,所以这里用Besides.
[答案] Besides
