二、阅读理解
Ieoh Ming Pei, the Chinese-American, who was regarded as one of the last great modernist architects, died at the age of 102.
Although he worked mostly in the United States, Pei will always be remembered for a European project: his redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s. He gave us the glass and metal pyramid in the main courtyard, along with three smaller pyramids and a vast subterranean (地下的) addition to the museum entrance.
Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history, and initially his designs were fiercely opposed. But in the end, the French — and everyone else — were won over. Winning the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he was thought as giving the 20th century "some of its most beautiful inside spaces and outside forms... His talent and skill in the use of materials approach the level of poetry."
After studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, Pei set up his own architectural practice in New York in 1955.
Designing the John R Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in 1964 established him as a name. His East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1978 changed people's ideas of a museum. The site was an odd trapezoid (梯形) shape. Pei's solution was to cut it in two. The resulting building was dramatic, light and elegant — one of the first crowd-pleasing cathedrals of modem art.
Though known as a modernist, and notable for his forms based on arrangements of simple geometric (几何的) shapes, he once urged Chinese architects to look more to their architectural tradition rather than designing in a western style.
In person, Ieoh Ming Pei was good-humored, charming and unusually modest. His working process was evolutionary, but innovation (创新) was never an intended goal.
"Stylistic originality is not my purpose," he said. "I want to find the originality in the time, the place and the problem."
6.What can we learn about the result of redevelopment of the Louvre Museum
A. It was criticized by the French.
B. It was a success.
C. It made the Louvre Museum looks strange.
D. It changed the function of the Louvre Museum.
7.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3
A. He is a master in applying materials.
B. He is skilled in writing poems.
C. He often combines poetry and construction.
D. He gets inspiration from poetry in designing.
8.What's the correct order of the following events
A. abed B. bacd C. bead D. dacd
9.What can we learn about I. M. Pei
A. Innovation was his first goal in design.
B. He was talented and serious.
C. He preferred western style to the east.
D. He liked simple geometric shapes.
三、七选五
Plants are intelligent. It sounds like a fable. However, science is beginning to think so. In 2013, The New Yorker published an article that set the plant science world on fire, forever changing the way both the public and researchers looking at and studying the plant kingdom.

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。
Isabel sat carefully inserting papers into a folder. She had been at the gateway to Nature Center's office all morning and was weary of filing the papers. She wanted desperately to work with the animals, especially the birds in the center. But her mom, who was the assistant director of the center, said Isabel was too young.
"I've been a weekend volunteer this whole school year. I know more about birds than almost anyone else here," she said to herself, recalling the extensive research she had done while reading books on natural history. Then she sighed. She had never been good at speaking up for herself.
Suddenly, the quiet was shattered by Amy Jensen bursting in and letting the door slam. Isabel felt herself shrink. Amy, who had been a volunteer a bit longer than Isabel, walked around as if she were in charge of the place. "Hey, Isabel," she barked, planting a hand on Isabel's shoulder. Isabel willed herself to remain still, though she would love to brush Amy's hand off.
Just then, Isabel's mother rushed into the room with Mr. Garza, the custodian (管理员). "The hurricane is entering the Gulf," she reported. "The Gulf Shore Preserve needs help with preparing for the storm. I've got to go down there. You should be okay up here, but I need you girls to help Mr. Garza get the storm shutters closed in the aviary (鸟舍). Stay inside with Mr. Garza after that." Isabel leaped to her feet, excited to have an opportunity to help the birds.
Mr. Garza and the girls worked quickly and were soon back inside, listening to the wind batter and rattle the shutters. When Mr. Garza found an emergency weather report on the computer, a concerned expression crossed his face. "A storm is heading our way," he announced. Amy's eyes widened in horror.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
"The aviary is to be flooded," Isabel thought to herself.

二、阅读理解
On August 3, 2020, a New Jersey schoolteacher named Julia Mooney put on a button-down dress and wore it to work. She wore it the next day and the next. In fact, she continued to wear that same dress for 100 days in a row. Julia wanted to get people—her middle school students, in particular—thinking about fashion in a new way and how we live in what she describes as a "culture of excess", closets overflowing with clothes far more than we need.
At first, Julia said nothing to her students about her experiment. There was no formal class discussion until several weeks later, at which point the students were responsive. Julia said that her students could really understand the idea that we need to judge each other based on what we do but not what we wear. "As they try to define themselves, the students are often identifying themselves with brands or outward things. Many seemed excited to have a reason to talk about how silly all of that really is," she said.
A quest for greater simplicity is partly what inspired Julia in the first place. On her website, she wrote that "spending a long time thinking and worrying about what to wear in the morning will be a thing of the past". It also solved the problem of limited closet space in an old house.
If there was a tear (裂口), Julia patched it with her sewing machine. She was careful with it so she wore an apron (围裙) to keep it clean-—just like people did in years gone by. She washed the dress on weekends.
"The challenge I'm presenting is this: Let's think before we buy it, wear it, throw it away and buy one again. Are we just perpetuating (使持续) a culture that defines us based on what we're wearing rather than what we're doing What if we spent our energy trying to be good interesting humans instead of trying to look good and interesting " she said.
Julia herself is back to wearing pants to work, but the effect of the experiment lingers. She said, "I'm expressing my interest in the health of our planet and the people who occupy it, while channeling less of my energy into my wardrobe and more into loving my children, being patient with my students and embracing my day-to-day existence."
6.Why did Julia Mooney wear the same dress continuously
A.She liked that dress most. B.She tried to save time and money.
C.She had to follow a fast-fashion trend. D.She wanted to arouse people's reflection.
7.Which word best describes the students' attitude to the culture of judging people by their appearance
A.Opposed. B.Indifferent. C.Uncertain. D.Optimistic.
8.What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 4
A.The aim Julia wanted to achieve.
B.The influence Julia was trying to exert.
C.Efforts Julia made to keep the plan going well.
D.Difficulties Julia encountered in carrying out the plan.
9.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.It is our responsibility to protect the earth's environment.
B.Julia is putting more energy into worthwhile things.
C.Julia doesn't care what she wears every day.
D.People should be grateful for their daily lives.
三、七选五

Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year That is the very likely future of applying today's "eyes in the sky" technology to make sure that the millions of kilometers of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews' efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don't need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.
6.What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible
A. The use of drones in checking on power lines.
B. Drones' ability to work at high altitudes.
C. The reduction of cost in designing drones.
D. Drones' reliable performance in remote areas.
7.What does "maintenance" underlined in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Personnel safety. B. Assistance from drones.
C. Inspection and repair. D. Construction of infrastructure.
8.What function is expected of the rail drones
A. To provide early warning. B. To make trains run automatically.
C. To earn profits for the crews. D. To accelerate transportation.
9.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones
B. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded
C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face
D. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways

解析：句意：Lily后悔上周日没有参加Mary的生日聚会。根据句意可知，此处表示"后悔做过某事"，故用regret doing sth.，因此填not going。
二、阅读理解
6.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段"Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points" (无人机已经被用于检查高压电线。他们完全可以做同样的事情来检查铁路线路和铁路基础设施的其他重要方面，如铁路轨道和换乘点的正确位置) 可推知，无人机在高空工作的能力使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能。故选A。
7.答案：C
解析：词句猜测题。根据后文"It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure" (据统计，仅欧洲铁路公司每年在铁路维护上的花费就约为200亿欧元，其中包括经常在夜间派遣维修人员检查和维修铁路基础设施) 可知，花在maintenance上的费用是用于"inspect and repair the rail infrastructure" (检查和维修铁路基础设施) 。由此可知"That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety"是指大幅节省检修成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全，划线词和C项：Inspection and repair (检修) 含义相近。故选C。
8.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段"Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time" (带有先进传感器和人工智能的非常小的无人机可以像副驾驶一样在火车前面行驶。凭借它们的预见能力，它们可以发出任何问题的信号，以便快速行驶的火车能够及时做出反应) 。可推知，对于无人机期待的功能是提前发现问题。故选A。
9.答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段"Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year That is the very likely future of applying today's "eyes in the sky" technology to make sure that the millions of kilometers of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a24/7 basis" (一小群无人机能否在保证铁路安全可靠的同时，帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元？这很可能是应用今天的"空中之眼"技术的未来，以确保全球数百万公里的铁路轨道和基础设施全天候安全运行) 。以及后文第二段讲到了使用无人机检查电力线路使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能；第三段讲到了使用无人机大幅节省维护成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全；第四段讲到了通过使用最新的技术，无人机还可以开始为铁路提供更高的价值，可知文章主要讲述了无人机将如何改变铁路的未来，所以D项"无人机将如何改变铁路的未来"符合文章中心思想，适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。
三、七选五
答案：①-⑤ BDGFC
解析：①上文提到"这是2032年的一个冬天的早晨。你在你的智能家居中睡觉"，下文提到"早晨醒来"，B项 (该起床了) 符合上下文语境。
②上文提到了"two of the screens"，下文提到了"The other screen"，D项 (一个会使你的虚拟助手显示在计算机屏幕上) 符合语境，且空格后一句中的"it"指的就是virtual assistant。故选D。
③上文提到"你的交通服务应用程序会给你发送一个警告，提醒你通常的行程已经改变，因为公园里有一场全天的音乐会"，G项 (然后该应用程序会告知你由自动驾驶汽车提供的你的新行程) 与上文进行了针对性的有效衔接。故选G。
④上文提到"城市房价居高不下，迫使许多企业将自己安置在地下室深处的办公室"，F项 (你的工作空间总共有数层，一层比一层低) 与上文所述话题一致，符合语境。故选F。
⑤根据文章的结构可知本空为本段的小标题，本段主要说的是工作了一天之后，一种轻便的电动垂直起降飞机会载你回家，因此C项 (赶飞机回家) 适合做本段的小标题。故选C。
四、书面表达
答案：
Dear Henry:
How nice it is to hear from you and I'm pleased to lend you a hand. It's definitely a wonderful idea to buy your parents birthday gifts from China, which will be special and unforgettable.
Honestly, it's hard to decide which one of the three kinds suits them finest. However, personally l'd prefer silk shirts to tea or MI phones. Even though it is nowadays very easy to buy silk products worldwide, silk shirts bought from China will undeniably be quite different. After all, China is home to silk and silk souvenirs are of superior quality across the worid.
Anyway, whatever your decision is, any choice of yours means much.
Yours.

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
"A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot." Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand," Mr Titterton said, "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
"My husband is the worst page turner," she laughed. "He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."
6.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
7.Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
8.What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the "nodding".
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
9.Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worse page turner"
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.
三、七选五
In science, advances are a daily occurrence, but true breakthroughs are rare. What does it take to achieve world-changing scientific breakthroughs Some are the result of a lucky accident, combined with curiosity. Scientists traveling down one road suddenly find reason to switch to another road, one they have never planned to travel—a road that may well lead nowhere.
①_____ One day, usually initially in their career, they get an idea they can't stop thinking about. It's crazy, they say to themselves, but is it really impossible They talk to respected colleagues who often remind them of all the reasons that their ideas might not work, and how damaging this could be to their career. Yet, the idea won't die and they are determined to travel that road-a road that may well lead nowhere. ②_____
Whichever road scientists who achieve lifesaving breakthroughs travel, they often endure disinterest, like Fleming, who discovered penicillin (青霉素) due to lucky accidents and curiosity, or repeated skepticism and rejection, like Karikó, who made all mRNA vaccines possible with years of persistence and resilience. By bringing their dreams to life, they were rewarded with fame, wealth and something even more valuable. ③_____
Of course, the obsession (痴迷) with an unlikely dream fails to pay off for many scientists. ④_____ Nature doesn't turn out to operate the way they have predicted it. In the end, their beautiful theory is killed by brutal facts. For those dreamers on the right track, they would have achieved their dreams—if only they had done the experiment a little differently, if only they had persisted a little longer, or if only the support for their work had not run out.
Ultimately, scientific breakthroughs are possible only if a society is willing to invest in dreamers, recognizing that not all investments will lead to major breakthroughs. ⑤_____ Above all, the investments prevent suffering and death and change the world.
A.Some scientists are addicted to their crazy ideas.
B.Their ideas, though brilliant, in the end are proved wrong.
C.But they refuse to back down and struggle to find more financial support.
D.Because of them, millions of people around the world avoid getting sick or death.
E.Other major breakthroughs originate from scientists pursuing a specific idea.
F.But sometimes the road leads to major breakthroughs like X-rays and vaccines.
G.However, the investments leading to breakthroughs bring a greater economic return.

答案以及解析
一、填空题
1.答案：experienced
解析：考查形容词。句意：众所周知，科学家钱学森在火箭技术方面经验丰富。be experienced in..."在……方面经验丰富"，为固定用法。
2.答案：contribution
解析：考查名词。句意：他对项目的成功做出积极的贡献。根据空前的a可知，此处应该用名词。
3.答案：rising
解析：考查with复合结构。句意：一项研究显示，随着全球气温上升，北极在15年内可能会在夏季基本无冰。分析句子结构可知，"with the global temperature _________（rise）"属于"with +宾语+宾补"结构，the global temperature与rise是逻辑上的主谓关系，且表示正在进行的动作，故应使用动词-ing形式。
4.答案：has been working
解析：考查动词的时态。句意：Marty最近一直在努力写书，他认为下周五前就能完成。根据句意可知，work的动作发生在过去，一直持续到下周五，在此期间一直进行，故用现在完成进行时。
5.答案：are
解析：考查主谓一致。句意：写文章的时候，我们必须造语法正确的句子。分析句子结构可知，that引导定语从句，指代先行词sentences且在从句中作主语，故此处应使用复数形式。
二、阅读理解
6.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中"but I've learnt to read music (但是我已经学会了识谱) "可知一个翻乐谱的人应该学会识谱，故答案为A项。
7.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中"A lot of skills are needed for the job (这份工作需要大量的技巧) "以及下文中的关键信息"have to"和"make sure"可综合推断Titterton在舞台上的工作要求很高，故选C项。boring 没趣的，令人厌倦 (或厌烦) 的；well-paid 工资高的；dangerous 危险的。
8.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中"and each pianist has their own style of 'nodding' to indicate a page turn (每个钢琴家都有自己的'点头'风格来示意翻页) "可推断Titterton需要识别钢琴家发出的"点头"信号，才能准确地翻页，故答案为B项。
9.答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中"He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn，turn！' (他对音乐很感兴趣，能感受到每一个音符，我不得不提醒他：'翻页，翻页！') "可推断他由于专注于音乐，忘了翻页，故答案为D项。
三、七选五
答案：①-⑤ EFDBG
解析：①主旨句。第一段第二、三句谈到"获得改变世界的科学突破需要什么呢 有些是幸运的意外加上好奇心的结果"。E项"其他重大突破源于科学家对特定想法的追求。"与上一段中的"Some are the result...curiosity"形成照应，且空格后面的内容展开阐释了E项内容，所以E项符合语境，故选E。
②细节句。空格处前一句意为"但是，这个想法不会消亡，他们决心走那条路—一条很可能一无所获的路"。由本段主题句 (第①空) 可知，本段主要讲科学家对特定想法的追求可能会取得改变世界的科学突破，所以在讲完科学家对特定想法的追求可能产生的不良结果后，还需说明可能产生的有价值的结果 (这是重点) ，F项"但有时这条路会带来重大突破，如X光和疫苗"与上句构成转折关系，与前面的"一无所获"的结果相反，符合语境。故选F。
③细节句。上文介绍了弗莱明发现青霉素，卡里科使所有mRNA疫苗成为可能，通过实现自己的梦想，这些科学家获得了名利和更宝贵的东西。D项"因为他们，全世界数百万人避免了生病或死亡"符合本段语境，故选D。
④细节句。空前句谈到对许多科学家来说，痴迷于一个不太可能实现的梦并没有得到回报，结合空后两句"结果是大自然并不会像他们预测的那样运转。最终，他们美好的理论被残酷的事实扼杀"可推知，B项"他们的想法虽然很棒，但最终被证明是错误的。"与上下文关系密切，符合语境，故选B。
⑤细节句。设空处与前后文构成的语意结构为：归根结底，只有社会愿意投资于梦想家，认识到并非所有的投资都会带来重大突破，科学突破才有可能实现→⑤_____→最重要的是，投资可以防止痛苦和死亡，并改变世界。G项"然而，带来突破的投资会带来更大的经济回报。"与上文的"并非所有的投资都会带来重大突破"形成转折，同时，与下文形成递进关系，符合语境，故选G。
四、书面表达
答案：
A common phenomenon of the modern society is that many people in cities know little about their neighbors, although they live in the same community.
From my perspective, modern lifestyles are responsible for this. People are busy pursuing career, rarely seeing or interacting with their neighbors. Apart from this, due to the convenience of social networks, many people would rather communicate with strangers on the Internet than have a chat with their neighbors.
Measures should be taken to change this situation. To begin with, some public service advertisements should be produced, which can help raise people's awareness of establishing a good relationship with neighbors. Besides, more entertainment and sports activities should be organized in the community, so that people have more opportunities to socialize with their neighbors.Unit 5 Learning from nature—高二英语外研版（2019）选择性必修第三册速练100题

二、阅读理解
The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken it a step further —changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse, even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. "We're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day," explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow (发光) in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light, about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by, is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.
In the future, the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off "switch" where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source (电源) — such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway — a lot of energy is lost during transmission (传输) . Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.
6.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A.A new study of different plants. B.A big fall in crime rates
C.Employees from various workplaces. D.Benefits from green plants.
7.What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers
A.To detect plants' lack of water. B.To change the compositions of plants.
C.To make the life of plants longer. D.To test chemicals in plants.
8.What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future
A.They will speed up energy production.
B.They may transmit electricity to the home.
C.They might help reduce energy consumption.
D.They could take the place of power plants.
9.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Can we grow more glowing plants
B.How do we live with glowing plants
C.Could glowing plants replace lamps
D.How are glowing plants made pollution-free
三、七选五
People are consumers (消费者) . We have to spend large parts of our days finding, buying, cooking and eating our food. Did you ever think it might be nice to be able to make your own food like plants do ①_____ They perform a process called photosynthesis using light from the sun, water and carbon dioxide. The end result of this chemical reaction is sugar for plants to "eat". Plants even including algae in the ponds give off water and oxygen.
②_____ Plants have special structures called chloroplasts (叶绿体) that animals don't have. These structures are filled with chlorophyll, which gives leafy green plants their green color. Their main job is to absorb light from the sun. Chloroplasts can absorb every color except green. Light makes chlorophyll active. It creates energy that separates water out into hydrogen and oxygen. ③_____
Hydrogen from the water combines with carbon from the carbon dioxide we breathe out. Oxygen is sent out into the air.
④_____ Plants rely on the carbon dioxide that we breathe out, and we rely on the oxygen that they "breathe" out. This is one good reason for protecting plant life on Earth. Many plants can produce a constant supply of oxygen for us. We need plants in order to survive.
Conservation (保护) projects around the globe are aimed at protecting our natural resources, including numerous species of plants. ⑤_____
A.Plants are producers.
B.Chemical reactions take place.
C.Animals can't live without water.
D.People and plants make perfect partners.
E.So how do plants do it, and why can't we

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。
I met DeDe during my second year in high school. She was in a class that helps students with a variety of mental and physical disabilities. I had never communicated with them until my field hockey (曲棍球) coach, who was also their teacher, asked me to help meet DeDe when her bus dropped her off for the basketball game.
On that evening in January, I saw an electric wheelchair with DeDe in it. The first feature I noticed about DeDe was her smile, which was as vibrant (充满活力的) as the sun on a summer day. "I came to pick you up for your first basketball game," I said. "I'm really excited about that," she replied enthusiastically.
I had never worked with students with special needs and didn't know what to expect, but DeDe was calm, and in a full conversation, I could understand 90% of her words. She blew me away with her intelligence and confidence. Soon we became close friends.
One day as I drove to DeDe's house, I thought about my life. I couldn't think of any great achievements, yet I had the ability to succeed. DeDe couldn't go through a normal day of high school, and she didn't have a regular social life. But she was always joyful and devoted herself to her interests. At that time, I was deeply in love with field hockey, but my mother didn't allow me to play it in the third year. I didn't know what to do.
Pulling up in front of her house, I saw DeDe's grandmother. She called me inside to talk. She said, "DeDe really talks a lot about you and I feel so blessed that you have come into her life. It's not a complete day if DeDe doesn't mention you." I felt so touched. I had never known how much I meant to DeDe before.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
So I decided to talk to DeDe directly about my problems.

Paragraph 2:
I thought DeDe was right.

答案以及解析
一、填空题
1.答案：to inform
解析：句意：我们很遗憾地通知您，您的申请未通过。根据句意可知，此处表示"遗憾去做某事"，故用regret to do sth，因此填to inform。
2.答案：shocked
解析：句意：当他听到关于Simon的噩耗时，他非常震惊。根据句意并分析句子结构可知，此处表示人的心理状态，故用-ed形式的形容词，故填shocked。
3.答案：refreshing
解析：句意：每天工作后洗个澡使人神清气爽。根据句意并分析句子结构可知，此处修饰物，故用-ing形式的形容词，故填refreshing。
4.答案：Learning
解析：句意：学会急救是员工培训中的一个重要部分。此处表示抽象的、习惯性的动作，应用动词-ing形式作主语，故填Learning。
5.答案：To win
解析：句意：赢得这个冠军是我在这里的目的。分析句子结构并根据句意可知，空处作主语，且此处表示具体的、个别的、一次性的动作，故用动词不定式。
二、阅读理解
6.答案：D
解析：考查段落大意。根据第一段第二句"Recent studies have found positive effects"及本段中的"greener areas of the city experienced less crime"和"employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants"可知，D选项"Benefits from green plants"能概括本段内容。
7.答案：A
解析：考查细节理解。根据第二段第二句中的"These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water"可知，A选项正确。根据该句后半部分"a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater"可知，干扰项D选项错误。
8.答案：C
解析：考查推理判断。根据最后一段的内容尤其是最后一句"Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy"可推知，在未来发光的植物可能有助于减少能源消耗。
9.答案：C
解析：考查标题判断。文章第一段点明植物的积极作用；第二段是有关植物的其他方面的功能的研究；第三段说明最新的研究表明植物可以发光；第四段是有关将来要开发的一种用在植物叶子上的技术及研究植物发光是否可以"打开"和"关上"；第五段表述能量在传输中损失很多，或许发光植物可以解决这一问题。故C选项 (发光的植物能代替灯吗 ) 最能凸显本文主题。
三、七选五
答案：①-⑤ AEBDG
解析：①细节句。空前提到人是消费者，并提出设想，人如果能像植物一样自己生产自己的食物该多好；空后提到它们用阳光、水和二氧化碳来进行光合作用，这一化学反应的最终结果是产生供植物自己"食用"的糖。空后讲的是与"消费者"对应的"生产者"的活动，再结合选项可知A项"植物是生产者"符合语境。选项A中的Plants与空后的They对应。故选A。
②过渡句。上一段主要说明了人是消费者而植物是生产者，选项E"那么植物是如何做到的，为什么我们不能呢 "承接上一段，提出为什么人类和植物不同的问题，同时引出下文对这一问题的解释，空后的"Plants have special structures called chloroplasts (叶绿体) that animals don't have (植物有特殊的结构，称为叶绿体，动物没有) "是原因。故选E。
③细节句。空前提到叶绿素会产生把水分解成氢气和氧气的能量，根据常识可知这是一种化学反应，再结合选项可知B项"化学反应产生了"符合语境。B项中的"Chemical reactions"与前文中的"separates water out into hydrogen and oxygen"对应。故选B。
④主旨句。设空处位于段首，推测为本段主旨句。下文讲到植物依赖我们呼出的二氧化碳，而我们依赖它们"呼出"的氧气，说明人类和植物之间是相互依存的。结合选项可知选项D"人和植物是完美的伙伴"能够概括本段主题。故选D。
⑤细节句。上文讲到世界各地的保护项目旨在保护我们的自然资源，包括许多种类的植物。选项G"我们的生活质量和呼吸的新鲜空气依赖于我们的绿色植物伙伴"承接上文，是对上文的顺承。G项中的"our green plant partners"与上文中的"species of plants"对应。故选G。
四、书面表达
答案：
The person I respect
There are many respectable people around us. The most beloved and respected person around me is my teacher, Ms Li. Though she has been teaching English for twenty years, she is still passionate about teaching. She is kind and considerate towards us just like our dear mother. We all respect her because she always tries new ways to make her classes lively and interesting. Hardworking and knowledgeable, she is one of the best teachers in our school. When we have a problem, we will turn to her for help. She always talks to us patiently and helps us to find a solution. In our eyes, she is not only our teacher, but also our best friend. Those are why she deserves our respect.
五、读后续写
答案：
Paragraph 1:
So I decided to talk to DeDe directly about my problems. DeDe smiled as soon as she saw me. I kept talking about how much I loved field hockey and why my mother didn't want me to play it anymore. DeDe listened to me carefully. After a moment of silence, she said, "As one of the people with disabilities, I think it's lucky to have the ability to do what you really love. Maybe your mother just doesn't know what field hockey means to you. But you can explain it to her.
Paragraph 2:
I thought DeDe was right. That night when I came back home, I had a conversation with my mother. "Mom, playing field hockey is not just an interest to me. It will be my lifelong hobby. The sport gives me confidence," I explained. And I promised that I would keep a balance between my study and sports. My mother was greatly touched and finally agreed that I could continue playing field hockey. I have been grateful to DeDe until now.Unit 3 War and peace—高二英语外研版（2019）选择性必修第三册速练100题

二、阅读理解
If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity's later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.
Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can't. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook's voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain's record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.
In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made; a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.

答案以及解析
一、填空题
1.答案：desperately
解析：句意：我拼命地跑，但没能赶上。分析句法结构可知，空格处修饰动词run，用其副词形式。
2.答案：to depend
解析：考查固定用法。句意：如果你是一个酸柠檬，就不该想着靠甜吸引人们。be supposed to do sth."应该做某事"，为固定用法，故填to depend。
3.答案：solution
解析：考查词形转换。句意：Ding去医院寻求解决她超重问题的办法。a solution to..."……的解决办法"，为固定短语。
4.答案：to check
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：我的灯出毛病了，我会让Terry帮我检查它们。get sb. to do sth."让某人做某事"，故填to check。
5.答案：making
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：我为我所做的向她道歉，并成功与她和好。succeed in doing sth."成功做某事"，为固定用法，故填making。
二、阅读理解
6.答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句中的"If you want to tell the history of the whole world... you cannot do it through texts alone"和最后一句中的"even many literate societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things"可知，不能仅依赖文字记录的历史，因为世界上很多地方过去并没有文字；即便今天很多有文字的社会仍不仅使用文字，还使用物品来记录事情。由此推知，本段主要说明过去的事件被呈现的方式。故选A项。
7.答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第一句中的"Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects"和"but in many cases we simply can't"以及下文"From the English side... From the Australian side..."可知，作者认为需要结合文字和物品两种形式了解历史，而库克船长只有文字记录，因此作者在文中提到库克船长旨在表明他对事件的记录是片面的。故选D项。
8.答案：B
解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段中的"If you want to tell the history of the whole world... you cannot do it through texts alone"和第二段第一句以及画线词后的"we have to read not just the texts, but the objects"可知，记录历史不能只用文字，而要将文字和物品相结合，画线词所在句指出，如果我们想要解读"对话"的另一半，就要结合文字与物品。由此可推知，画线词实际上指历史。故选B项。
9.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的"even many literate societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things"，第二段第一句中的"Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects"和最后一段最后一句"If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects"可知，本文主要说明记录历史的手段不应是单一的，而应结合文字和物品。C项中的History和Objects与本文主题词相同，故本文最可能选自该书。故选C项。
三、七选五
答案：①-⑤ ACBEF
解析：①空格后提到，协约国很快也采用了夏令时。A项"德国人在1916年率先采用了夏令时"与下文衔接紧密，且都在描述一战时的情况，符合语境。故选A。
②空格后有表转折的连词but，且提到在一战之前医生们很少给病人输血。C项"输血起始于17世纪"与but后内容形成转折关系，符合语境。故选C。
③空格前提到，由于很多欧洲国家处于战火之中，欧洲电影业的规模也急剧缩减。B项"那给美国人打开了大门"与上文形成因果关系，符合语境。故选B。
④空格后提到，英国的军医Harold Gillies和他的同事给很多在战争中受伤的士兵做手术，这些手术大部分针对因枪击导致面部受伤的士兵。E项"第一次世界大战让许多士兵留下伤疤、落下残疾"引出下文，符合语境。故选E。
⑤空格前提到，英国的军医Harold Gillies和他的同事给很多在战争中受伤的士兵做手术，这些手术大部分针对因枪击导致面部受伤的士兵。F项"Gillies作为现代整形外科手术之父而出名"与上文形成因果关系，符合语境。故选F。
四、书面表达
答案：
Learn to Use Mobile Phones Wisely
I have to admit that the mobile phone has greatly distracted my attention while I am studying. I tap, and click too many times a day, sending texts, scrolling on social media and playing games. Upon reflection, I find it gives me nothing but eye ache, blank mind and even phone addiction.
I should turn a new leaf. Firstly, I will put my phone aside and only pick it up when I have to look up task-related information. Secondly, focus on my real life, leaving enough time to accompany my parents and do sports. What I want is not a wipe-out of phone in my life, but a rational use of this advanced technology. I should make the best use of it instead of being controlled by it.
