Ⅲ.好题——高考范题精讲
【例1】 (NMET 2004,29)—Isn’ t that Ann’s husband over there
—No,it _____________ be him—I’m sure he doesn’t wear glasses.
A.can’t B.must not
C.won’t D.may not
解析：该题考查了情态动词表示推测的用法。在否定句中，如果对现在的事情进行推测，应该用情态动词can；在肯定句中，如果对现在的情况进行推测，应该用情态动词must。
答案：A
【例2】 (NMET 2004,天津，31)—Who is the girl standing over there
—Well,if you _____________ know,her name is Mabel.
A.may B.can
C.must D.shall
解析：该题考查情态动词must的用法。must可以用来表示与说话人愿望相反及不耐烦地情况，意思是“偏要”。
答案：C
【例3】 (2003 上海春招，28)When and where to go for the on-salary holiday _____________ yet.
A.are not decided B.have not been decided
C.is not being decided D.has not been decided
解析：本题主要考查动词时态和主谓一致。本句为一疑问词接不定式短语作主语，应当作单数来看待；根据句子所描述的情景，动词和主语之间存在被动关系；既然还没有决定下来，这表示对现在存在某种影响，因此动词应该用完成时态，综合以上分析，答案应为 D。
答案：D
【例4】 (2003上海春招，27)By the end of last year,another new gymnasium _____________ in Beijing.
A.would be completed
B.was being completed
C.has been completed
D.had been completed
解析：本题题意为：到去年末为止，另一个体操馆在北京建起来了。本题主要考查时态和语态。根据句子中的时间状语by the end of last year可以判断出，句子应该用过去完成时态，再分析句子主语和动词之间是被动关系，因此，可以选出正确的答案应该为D。
答案：D
【例5】 (NMET 2004,浙江,25)We wanted to get home before dark,but it didn’t quite _____________ as planned.
A.make out B.turn out
C.go on D.come up
解析：该题考查四个短语在意义上的区分。make out的意思是“勉强了解”，go on的意思是“继续”，come up的意思是“走近,上来；发芽；流行,发生；被提出”，turn out的意思是“产生……的结果，结果弄清楚是……”。根据题干的意思：我们想在天黑前赶回家，但是结果和我们所计划的大相径庭。这样可以选出答案应该为turn out。
答案：B

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。
A
Rick Stevenson,16 years old,spends every minute he can on the mountain.He and his friends go snowboarding every weekend.“It’s great,” he says.“The winds are so strong,the boards go 50 miles an hour.” His friend Laura Fields agrees.“No one goes skiing any more,” she says,“that’s for the old folks.”
Rick and Laura are part of a new trend in sports.Its philosophy（purpose）is to get as close to the edge as possible.And more and more young athletes are taking part in these risky（adventurous）activities called “extreme sports” or “X-Sports”.
In the past,young athletes would play baseball.Today,they want risk and excitement—the closer to the edge,the better.They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains.They wind-surf near hurricanes and bungy-jump from towers.
Extreme sports started as an alternative（选择余地）to more expensive sports such as golf.A city kid who didn’t have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun.But now it has become a whole new area of sports,with specialized equipment and high levels of skill.There’s even a special Olympics for extreme sports,called the Winter X-Games,which includes snow mountain biking and ice climbing.
What makes extreme sports so popular “People love the risk,” says Murray Nussbaum,who sells sports equipment.“City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging.The new equipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt.” An athlete adds,“Sure there’s a risk.Once you go mountain biking or snowboarding,it’s impossible to go back to bike riding or skiing.It’s just too boring.”
Now even the older crowd is starting to join in.Every weekend groups of friends in their early thirties get together.During the week they work as computer programmers in the same office.On Sundays they rent mountain bikes that cost $2 000 each and ride down steep mountains together.
Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone.Most people still prefer to play basketball or watch sports on TV.But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity.“These sports are fresh and exciting.It’s the wave of the future,” says Nussbaum.
46.Which of the four pictures does not describe extreme sports
解析：该题为分析判断题。可以通过阅读文章对极限运动项目的描述知道A项为snowboarding，B项为mountain biking，C项为bungy-jumping，D项为skiing。
答案：D
47.Generally speaking,_____________are unfit for extreme sports by inference from the text.
A.high school students
B.the aged people
C.office workers
D.city teenagers
解析：通过文章的描述我们可以知道，极限运动多为年轻人所喜爱。文章中“Now even the older crowd is starting to join in.”（现在年龄大一些的人也开始加入进来。）这句话暗示出现在上年纪的人很少或基本不参加这种运动。
答案：B
48.It is clear from the text that extreme sports are_____________.
A.exciting but risky
B.expensive but challenging
C.special but dangerous
D.popular but a little old
解析：由第二段中“And more and more young athletes are taking part in these risky（adventurous） activities…”这句话的信息词可以推断出答案。
答案：A
49.What would be the best title for the text
A.Rick Stevenson’s Hobby
B.The Wave of the Future
C.X-Sports
D.People’s Love for Risk
解析：该题为主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了一些新的运动形式，这些运动基于某些相同的特点而统称为X-Sports。
答案：C
B

C
Say you are a 17th century construction worker who’s worked long and hard to build a splendid tower for the dead wife of your emperor.
Now say that the emperor orders your fingertips cut off so you can never build another one.Yes,that is the Taj Mahal,one of the most famous buildings in the world.And the tale behind the construction is just as impressive(印象深刻的) as the building itself.
First,there’s the emperor of northern India,Shah Jehan,also called the King of the World.In 1612,Shah Jehan married Mumtaz Mahal.Madly in love,they had 14 children over the next 20 years.But then sadness came.As Mumtaz was about to give birth to child number 14,she said she had heard her unborn baby cry out.It was a sign of death.And as Mumtaz lay dying,she asked Jehan to build a lasting memorial(纪念物) to celebrate their love.
When the heartbroken Jehan appeared eight days after his wife’s death,his people were shocked to see that his coal-black hair had turned snow-white.
Putting away his sadness,Jehan ordered his wife’s dying wish carried out.More than 20 000 workers labored nearly 22 years to complete the construction.In 1653,Jehan placed Mumtaz’s remains in the center under the building.
And then,son number five,Aurangzeb,murdered his brothers and took over the power from his aging father.Jehan lived the rest of his days－eight years,to be exact—imprisoned not far from the Taj Mahal.Jehan was only allowed to climb onto the top of his prison to see the timeless treasure from a distance.But never again would he be allowed to visit it—until he was buried next to his wife.
Today 25 000 people visit the Taj Mahal each day.Though the reason for building the tower was a strange,sad story,those who see its breath-taking beauty are reminded of the happiness that inspired(激发……的灵感) its construction.
54.The first two paragraphs were written to show that _____________.
A.the Taj Mahal is an unusual historic building
B.ancient Indian emperors were cruel
C.construction workers led a hard life in ancient India
D.India has some of the most famous buildings in the world
解析：该题为概括归纳题。通过第二段最后一句话可以看出：泰姬陵这所印度的历史名胜和它背后的爱情故事一样给人留下了深刻的印象。
答案：A
55.The Taj Mahal was first built as _____________.
A.a prison B.a gift to Mumtaz
C.a memorial building D.a tourist attraction
解析：该题为细节题。根据第三段最后一句话，可以判断出答案。
答案：C
56.We learn from the text that Mumtaz probably died in _____________.

Whatever our differences as human beings are,we all think we’re more like the rest of the animal world than we realize.It is said that we share 40 per cent of our genetic（遗传的）structure with the simple worm.
But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine.Sir John is the founder of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge,which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human genome（染色体组）.
To help them do this,they turned to the worm.The nematode（线虫类的）worm is one of the earliest creatures on planet earth.It is less than one millimeter long,completely transparent and spends its entire life digging holes through sand.But it still has lots to say about human life,and what can be done to make it better.
What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues was that each of cells in the human body is programmed like a computer.They grow,develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded in our genetic make-up.
Many of the diseases that humans suffer from happen when these instructions go wrong or are not obeyed.When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead,this leads to cancer.Heart attacks and diseases like AIDS cause more cell deaths than normal,increasing the damage they do to the body.Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death.
57.Sir John Sulston got a Nobel Prize for Medicine because he has _____________.
A.found that human beings are similar to the worn
B.got the fact we share 40 per cent of our genetic structure with the simple worm
C.found the computer which controls each of the cells in the human body
D.proved that cell death is programmed
解析：该题根据“Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death.”这一句话可以判断出他是第一个证实这个结论的人。
答案：D
58.People might be seriously ill if the cells in their bodies _____________.
A.grow without being instructed
B.die regularly
C.fail to follow people’s instructions
D.develop in the human body
解析：根据文章最后一段中“When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead,this leads to cancer.”可以得出答案。
答案：A
59.The underlined word “they”(Paragraph 5) refers to _____________.
A.cell deaths B.diseases
C.instructions D.cells
答案：B
60.What is the subject discussed in the text
A.The theory of programmed cell deaths.
B.A great scientist—Sir John Sulston.
C.The programmed human life.
D.Dangerous diseases.
解析：文章的最后一句话是结论性的一句话，也可以看作是文章所描述的中心问题。

—No,it _____________ be him—I’m sure he doesn’t wear glasses.
A.can’t B.must not
C.won’t D.may not
解析：该题考查了情态动词表示推测的用法。在否定句中，如果对现在的事情进行推测，应该用情态动词can；在肯定句中，如果对现在的情况进行推测，应该用情态动词must。
答案：A
【例2】 (NMET 2004,天津，31)—Who is the girl standing over there
—Well,if you _____________ know,her name is Mabel.
A.may B.can
C.must D.shall
解析：该题考查情态动词must的用法。must可以用来表示与说话人愿望相反及不耐烦地情况，意思是“偏要”。
答案：C
【例3】 (2003 上海春招，28)When and where to go for the on-salary holiday _____________ yet.
A.are not decided B.have not been decided
C.is not being decided D.has not been decided
解析：本题主要考查动词时态和主谓一致。本句为一疑问词接不定式短语作主语，应当作单数来看待；根据句子所描述的情景，动词和主语之间存在被动关系；既然还没有决定下来，这表示对现在存在某种影响，因此动词应该用完成时态，综合以上分析，答案应为 D。
答案：D
【例4】 (2003上海春招，27)By the end of last year,another new gymnasium _____________ in Beijing.
A.would be completed
B.was being completed
C.has been completed
D.had been completed
解析：本题题意为：到去年末为止，另一个体操馆在北京建起来了。本题主要考查时态和语态。根据句子中的时间状语by the end of last year可以判断出，句子应该用过去完成时态，再分析句子主语和动词之间是被动关系，因此，可以选出正确的答案应该为D。
答案：D
【例5】 (NMET 2004,浙江,25)We wanted to get home before dark,but it didn’t quite _____________ as planned.
A.make out B.turn out
C.go on D.come up
解析：该题考查四个短语在意义上的区分。make out的意思是“勉强了解”，go on的意思是“继续”，come up的意思是“走近,上来；发芽；流行,发生；被提出”，turn out的意思是“产生……的结果，结果弄清楚是……”。根据题干的意思：我们想在天黑前赶回家，但是结果和我们所计划的大相径庭。这样可以选出答案应该为turn out。

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。
A
Rick Stevenson,16 years old,spends every minute he can on the mountain.He and his friends go snowboarding every weekend.“It’s great,” he says.“The winds are so strong,the boards go 50 miles an hour.” His friend Laura Fields agrees.“No one goes skiing any more,” she says,“that’s for the old folks.”
Rick and Laura are part of a new trend in sports.Its philosophy（purpose）is to get as close to the edge as possible.And more and more young athletes are taking part in these risky（adventurous）activities called “extreme sports” or “X-Sports”.
In the past,young athletes would play baseball.Today,they want risk and excitement—the closer to the edge,the better.They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains.They wind-surf near hurricanes and bungy-jump from towers.
Extreme sports started as an alternative（选择余地）to more expensive sports such as golf.A city kid who didn’t have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun.But now it has become a whole new area of sports,with specialized equipment and high levels of skill.There’s even a special Olympics for extreme sports,called the Winter X-Games,which includes snow mountain biking and ice climbing.
What makes extreme sports so popular “People love the risk,” says Murray Nussbaum,who sells sports equipment.“City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging.The new equipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt.” An athlete adds,“Sure there’s a risk.Once you go mountain biking or snowboarding,it’s impossible to go back to bike riding or skiing.It’s just too boring.”
Now even the older crowd is starting to join in.Every weekend groups of friends in their early thirties get together.During the week they work as computer programmers in the same office.On Sundays they rent mountain bikes that cost $2 000 each and ride down steep mountains together.
Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone.Most people still prefer to play basketball or watch sports on TV.But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity.“These sports are fresh and exciting.It’s the wave of the future,” says Nussbaum.
46.Which of the four pictures does not describe extreme sports
解析：该题为分析判断题。可以通过阅读文章对极限运动项目的描述知道A项为snowboarding，B项为mountain biking，C项为bungy-jumping，D项为skiing。
答案：D
47.Generally speaking,_____________are unfit for extreme sports by inference from the text.
A.high school students
B.the aged people
C.office workers
D.city teenagers
解析：通过文章的描述我们可以知道，极限运动多为年轻人所喜爱。文章中“Now even the older crowd is starting to join in.”（现在年龄大一些的人也开始加入进来。）这句话暗示出现在上年纪的人很少或基本不参加这种运动。
答案：B
48.It is clear from the text that extreme sports are_____________.
A.exciting but risky
B.expensive but challenging
C.special but dangerous
D.popular but a little old
解析：由第二段中“And more and more young athletes are taking part in these risky（adventurous） activities…”这句话的信息词可以推断出答案。
答案：A
49.What would be the best title for the text
A.Rick Stevenson’s Hobby
B.The Wave of the Future
C.X-Sports
D.People’s Love for Risk
解析：该题为主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了一些新的运动形式，这些运动基于某些相同的特点而统称为X-Sports。

Say you are a 17th century construction worker who’s worked long and hard to build a splendid tower for the dead wife of your emperor.
Now say that the emperor orders your fingertips cut off so you can never build another one.Yes,that is the Taj Mahal,one of the most famous buildings in the world.And the tale behind the construction is just as impressive(印象深刻的) as the building itself.
First,there’s the emperor of northern India,Shah Jehan,also called the King of the World.In 1612,Shah Jehan married Mumtaz Mahal.Madly in love,they had 14 children over the next 20 years.But then sadness came.As Mumtaz was about to give birth to child number 14,she said she had heard her unborn baby cry out.It was a sign of death.And as Mumtaz lay dying,she asked Jehan to build a lasting memorial(纪念物) to celebrate their love.
When the heartbroken Jehan appeared eight days after his wife’s death,his people were shocked to see that his coal-black hair had turned snow-white.
Putting away his sadness,Jehan ordered his wife’s dying wish carried out.More than 20 000 workers labored nearly 22 years to complete the construction.In 1653,Jehan placed Mumtaz’s remains in the center under the building.
And then,son number five,Aurangzeb,murdered his brothers and took over the power from his aging father.Jehan lived the rest of his days－eight years,to be exact—imprisoned not far from the Taj Mahal.Jehan was only allowed to climb onto the top of his prison to see the timeless treasure from a distance.But never again would he be allowed to visit it—until he was buried next to his wife.
Today 25 000 people visit the Taj Mahal each day.Though the reason for building the tower was a strange,sad story,those who see its breath-taking beauty are reminded of the happiness that inspired(激发……的灵感) its construction.
54.The first two paragraphs were written to show that _____________.
A.the Taj Mahal is an unusual historic building
B.ancient Indian emperors were cruel
C.construction workers led a hard life in ancient India
D.India has some of the most famous buildings in the world
解析：该题为概括归纳题。通过第二段最后一句话可以看出：泰姬陵这所印度的历史名胜和它背后的爱情故事一样给人留下了深刻的印象。
答案：A
55.The Taj Mahal was first built as _____________.
A.a prison B.a gift to Mumtaz
C.a memorial building D.a tourist attraction
解析：该题为细节题。根据第三段最后一句话，可以判断出答案。
答案：C
56.We learn from the text that Mumtaz probably died in _____________.
A.1626 B.1632
C.1634 D.1653
解析：该题为计算题。根据第三段中“In 1612,Shah Jehan married Mumtaz Mahal.Madly in love,they had 14 children over the next 20 years.”一段话的说明可以计算出时间为1632年。
答案：B
D
Whatever our differences as human beings are,we all think we’re more like the rest of the animal world than we realize.It is said that we share 40 per cent of our genetic（遗传的）structure with the simple worm.
But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine.Sir John is the founder of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge,which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human genome（染色体组）.
To help them do this,they turned to the worm.The nematode（线虫类的）worm is one of the earliest creatures on planet earth.It is less than one millimeter long,completely transparent and spends its entire life digging holes through sand.But it still has lots to say about human life,and what can be done to make it better.
What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues was that each of cells in the human body is programmed like a computer.They grow,develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded in our genetic make-up.
Many of the diseases that humans suffer from happen when these instructions go wrong or are not obeyed.When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead,this leads to cancer.Heart attacks and diseases like AIDS cause more cell deaths than normal,increasing the damage they do to the body.Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death.
57.Sir John Sulston got a Nobel Prize for Medicine because he has _____________.
A.found that human beings are similar to the worn
B.got the fact we share 40 per cent of our genetic structure with the simple worm
C.found the computer which controls each of the cells in the human body
D.proved that cell death is programmed
解析：该题根据“Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death.”这一句话可以判断出他是第一个证实这个结论的人。
答案：D
58.People might be seriously ill if the cells in their bodies _____________.
A.grow without being instructed
B.die regularly
C.fail to follow people’s instructions
D.develop in the human body
解析：根据文章最后一段中“When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead,this leads to cancer.”可以得出答案。
答案：A
59.The underlined word “they”(Paragraph 5) refers to _____________.
A.cell deaths B.diseases
C.instructions D.cells
答案：B
60.What is the subject discussed in the text
A.The theory of programmed cell deaths.
B.A great scientist—Sir John Sulston.
C.The programmed human life.
D.Dangerous diseases.
解析：文章的最后一句话是结论性的一句话，也可以看作是文章所描述的中心问题。
答案：A
