Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2015·兰州实战考试)
Almost
everybody
in
America
will
spend
a
part
of
his
or
her
life
behind
a
shopping
cart.They
will
in
a
lifetime,push
the
chrome-plated
contraptions
many
miles.But
few
will
know—or
even
think
to
ask—who
it
was
that
invented
them.
Sylvan
N.Goldman
invented
the
shopping
cart
in
1937.At
that
time
he
was
in
the
supermarket
business.Every
day
he
would
see
shoppers
lugging
groceries
around
in
baskets
they
had
to
carry.
One
day
Goldman
suddenly
had
the
idea
of
putting
baskets
on
wheels.The
wheeled
baskets
would
make
shopping
much
easier
for
his
customers,and
would
help
to
attract
more
business.
On
June
4,1937,Goldman’s
first
carts
were
ready
for
use
in
his
market.He
was
terribly
excited
on
the
morning
of
that
day
as
customers
began
arriving.He
couldn’t
wait
to
see
them
using
his
invention.
But
Goldman
was
disappointed.Most
shoppers
gave
the
carts
a
long
look,but
hardly
anybody
would
give
them
a
try.
After
a
while,Goldman
decided
to
ask
customers
why
they
weren’t
using
his
carts.“Don’t
you
think
this
arm
is
strong
enough
to
carry
a
shopping
basket ”
one
shopper
replied.
But
Goldman
wasn’t
beaten
yet.He
knew
his
carts
would
be
a
great
success
if
only
he
could
persuade
people
to
give
them
a
try.To
this
end,Goldman
hired
a
group
of
people
to
push
carts
around
his
market
and
pretend
they
were
shopping!Seeing
this,the
real
customers
gradually
began
copying
the
phony(假的)customers.
As
Goldman
had
hoped,the
carts
were
soon
attracting
larger
and
larger
numbers
of
customers
to
his
market.But
not
only
did
more
people
come—those
who
came
bought
more.With
larger,easier-to-handle
baskets,customers
unconsciously
bought
a
greater
number
of
items
than
before.
Today’s
shopping
carts
are
five
times
larger
than
Goldman’s
original
model.Perhaps
that’s
one
reason
why
Americans
today
spend
more
than
five
times
as
much
money
on
food
each
year
as
they
did
before
1937—the
coming
of
the
shopping
cart.
【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了Goldman发明购物车的原因、经过和结果。
1.What
do
the
underlined
words
“chrome-plated
contraptions”
in
the
first
paragraph
refer
to
A.Baskets. B.Private
cars.
C.Suitcases.
D.Shopping
carts.
答案:D
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“...a
part
of
his
or
her
life
behind
a
shopping
cart.”可以得出,画线词的意思是购物手推车。
2.What
was
the
purpose
of
Goldman’s
invention
A.It
was
to
prove
him
to
be
a
good
inventor.
B.It
was
to
reduce
the
burden
of
his
employees’
work.
C.It
was
to
make
shopping
easier
and
attract
more
business.
D.It
was
to
help
the
disabled
make
shopping
easily
in
his
market.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...make
shopping
much
easier
for
his
customers,and
would
help
to
attract
more
business.”可知,C项正确。
3.Goldman
hired
a
group
of
people
to
push
carts
around
his
market
in
order
to
.
A.attract
people
to
buy
things
in
his
market
B.encourage
people
to
use
his
shopping
carts
C.make
his
market
different
from
the
others
D.keep
the
groceries
from
being
stolen
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第七段中的“persuade
people
to
give
them
a
try”可知,他雇一些人假装顾客在超市里面推购物车的目的是想鼓励人们使用他的购物车。
4.What
can
we
infer
from
the
last
paragraph
A.Goldman
will
become
very
famous
because
of
his
invention.
B.Goldman’s
invention
will
be
regarded
as
the
greatest
one
in
the
world.
C.Supermarket
business
has
benefited
a
lot
from
Goldman’s
invention.
D.There
will
be
nothing
that
can
replace
Goldman’s
invention.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知,现今购物车是Goldman发明的购物车的五倍大,这可能是美国人今天的购物花费是购物车发明之前的五倍的一个原因。由此可推断出,超市的生意从Goldman的发明中受益匪浅。
B
When
a
bee
stings(蜇)
you,it
doesn’t
just
ruin
your
fun.The
insect
puts
venom(毒液)
into
your
skin,causing
pain
and
swelling.But
a
chemist
in
Denmark
believes
he’s
come
up
with
a
simple
device
that
will
draw
the
venom
back
out
of
the
wound,bringing
victims
relief.
Martin
Wenckens
got
the
inspiration
for
the
Bee-Patch(蜜蜂膏药)
from
a
home
treatment
he
saw
shown
on
a
Danish
television
program.After
getting
stung,a
person
would
put
a
slight
wet
sugar
cube
over
the
wound.The
idea
is
that
through
osmosis(渗透)—the
movement
of
a
fluid
from
an
area
with
a
lower
concentration
of
molecules(分子)
to
an
area
with
a
higher
concentration—fluid
moves
from
the
small
hole
up
into
the
sugar
cube,carrying
the
venom
along
with
it.
Because
exposed
sugar
may
attract
more
insects,Wenckens
thought
he
could
improve
on
the
treatment.He
put
sugar
inside
a
patch
that
can
be
worn
like
a
bandage.The
side
touching
the
skin
has
a
thin
layer
through
which
fluid
can
move.“After
you
get
stung,place
the
patch
on
the
injured
skin
and
leave
it
for
one
hour,”Wenckens
says.“This
will
lower
both
pain
and
swelling.”He
cautions
that
people
with
insect
allergies
should
continue
to
use
medications(药物治疗)
recommended
by
their
doctors.
Wenckens
designed
the
Bee-Patch
especially
for
children,but
he
reports
that
lifeguards
and
soccer
players
are
also
using
it.“In
many
schools
in
Denmark,the
Bee-Patch
is
already
a
part
of
first
aid
kits,”he
says.“To
have
invented
a
small
patch
that
can
be
used
by
so
many
people
of
course
makes
me
very
proud.”
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了一项治疗蜜蜂蜇伤的小发明。
5.Wenckens
was
inspired
by
.
A.his
childhood
B.a
TV
program
C.a
sugar
producer
D.his
private
doctor
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。由第二段开头的“got
the
inspiration
for
the
Bee-Patch(蜜蜂膏药)
from
a
home
treatment
he
saw
shown
on
a
Danish
television
program.”可知答案为B项。
6.What’s
the
advantage
of
the
Bee-Patch
over
the
original
home
treatment
A.It
is
much
safer.
B.It
is
more
natural.
C.It
is
much
cheaper.
D.It
is
more
effective.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。由第三段开头的“Because
exposed
sugar
may
attract
more
insects,Wenckens
thought
he
could
improve...”可推断,改进后的发明将糖包起来,不易招惹昆虫,因而比原来的更安全。
7.The
Bee-Patch
created
by
Wenckens
.
A.is
not
recommended
to
lifeguards
B.may
not
be
helpful
for
some
victims
C.will
protect
victims
from
bees
for
an
hour
D.has
an
immediate
effect
on
the
injured
skin
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。由第三段末的“He
cautions
that
people
with
insect
allergies
should
continue
to
use
medications(药物治疗)
recommended
by
their
doctors.”可推断,对昆虫过敏的人被蜜蜂蜇伤后不应简单地使用这种方法治疗,而应采用医生推荐的方法。
8.The
Bee-Patch
is
widely
used
.
A.by
adults
B.in
hospitals
C.by
students
D.on
football
fields
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。由最后一段中的“In
many
schools
in
Denmark,the
Bee-Patch
is
already
a
part
of
first
aid
kits...”可知,蜜蜂膏药被学生们广泛使用。
Ⅱ.七选五
Tips
for
writing
the
college
essay
While
some
high
school
seniors
begin
to
enjoy
writing
their
college
essay,others
fail
to
see
the
importance
of
it.1.
Creating
the
college
essay
is
supposed
to
be
a
fun,and
exciting
task.It
is
a
process
of
self-discovery.Some
helpful
tips:
1.Have
fun!2.
Relax,breathe
and
realize
that
this
is
the
time
to
expose
a
side
of
you
that
a
transcript(学生成绩单)
cannot.
2.3.
The
worst
thing
you
can
do
is
pick
and
ordinary
topic.Stay
away
from
volunteer
work,your
dead
dog
and
vacations.Admission
counselors(入学辅导员)
see
thousands
of
essays
a
month;make
sure
your
essay
is
distinct
to
your
experience
and
personality.Do
not
focus
on
what
you
think
they
want
you
to
write,but
what
is
actually
significant
to
you.
3.Don’t
try
to
make
yourself
a
victim.Although
it
is
effective
to
appeal
to
the
emotions
of
an
admission
counselor,I
do
not
recommend
writing
an
essay
about
sad
stories.Self-pity
can
be
annoying,and
most
admission
counselors
do
not
want
that
to
be
their
first
impression
of
you.The
only
exception
to
this
is
if
you
have
an
inspiring
struggle
that
you
overcame.4.
4.Your
essay
is
not
a
longer
version
of
your
resume(简历).If
you
sent
in
a
resume,there
is
absolutely
no
need
to
restate
what
is
on
it.Many
students
like
bragging(吹嘘)
about
how
much
they
do.It
is
amazing
that
you
are
involved,but
admission
counselors
do
not
only
want
to
hear
about
how
much
you
do,especially
if
they
already
see
this
on
your
resume.5.
Good
luck
on
your
college
essay!
A.It
was
received
well
by
many.
B.Don’t
settle
for
basic—be
creative!
C.When
you
get
upset,it
is
reflected
in
your
work.
D.You
can
talk
about
how
a
work
changed
your
life.
E.They
want
to
see
aspects
of
you
that
cannot
be
shown
on
a
resume.
F.In
some
cases,these
600
words
determine
an
acceptance
or
a
rejection.
G.Make
sure
that
the
story
is
focused
on
your
growth,not
on
the
struggle.
答案与解析:
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章是写大学申请论文的几点建议。
1.F 解析:F项与上文的see
the
importance
of
it相呼应。
2.C 解析:C项与本段小标题及下文的Relax,breathe相呼应,说明学生要让自己在心情好的情况下写大学申请论文,并从中找到乐趣。
3.B 解析:由下文的“The
worst
thing
you
can
do
is
pick
an
ordinary
topic...but
what
is
actually
significant
to
you.”可知,本段主要是说大学申请论文的内容要避免老套的话题,应该体现自己的独特性。故B项恰当。
4.G 解析:G项与上文的“have
an
inspiring
struggle
that
you
overcame”相呼应。
5.E 解析:E项与上文的“admission
counselors
do
not
only
want
to
hear
about
how
much
you
do,especially
if
they
already
see
this
on
your
resume.”相呼应。
