能力提升题组训练(A)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2018温州高三适应性测试)
Land Art,sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks,is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art,taking art out of the museum and into the outside world.Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s,when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale.Today,works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world,sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.
Land Art,which is not necessarily unchangeable,can take a number of forms.For example,in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty(螺旋状防波堤),made of a collection of stones and mud,in the Great Salt Lake.The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.
Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art,which can be created by moving parts around.People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art,like salt,which is added to the Spiral Jetty.It is possible to use plants.In all cases,Land Art is immovable.
Land Art is designed to gradually form,change,and eventually decay(衰落). That’s one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums.Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days.Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time,which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.
1.What can be learned from the first paragraph?
A.Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s.
B.Land Art aims to get people interested in nature.
C.American artists were the first to create Land Art.
D.People have been creating Land Art for thousands of years.
2.What do we know about Robert Smithson?
A.He is a great creative artist.
B.He lives near the Great Salt Lake.
C.He made the most famous Land Art.
D.He was a pioneer in creating Land Art.
3.One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies in it .?
A.shows the extreme beauty of nature
B.develops and decays gradually over time
C.combines the landscape around completely
D.offers the artists a chance to get close to nature
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Works of Land Art B.History of Land Art
C.Changes of Land Art D.Introduction of Land Art
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。大地艺术(Land Art)又称“地景艺术”“土方工程”,它是指艺术家以大自然作为创造媒体,把艺术与大自然有机地结合起来,创造出的一种富有艺术整体性情景的视觉化艺术形式。
答案及剖析:
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知,地景艺术已有几千年的历史了。故选D。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句以及下文“The American artist made a large jetty...of the lake.”可推断出,Robert Smithson是一位伟大的、很有创造力的艺术家。故选A。
3.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一、二句可知,地景艺术与其他艺术最大的不同之处之一在于它会随着时间的流逝而逐渐演变直至最终衰落。故选B。
4.D 主旨大意题。纵观全文可知,本文主要向读者介绍了地景艺术的概念、历史及其特征等情况。故选D。

Imagine that you are in a remote village somewhere with no medical clinic.1.
Once the doctors get to you,they examine you and take blood samples,but they won’ t be able to help you until they take the samples back to the hospital to find out what is wrong.2. Thanks to engineer Andy Ozcan,many people may never be in this situation.He has invented an app that turns your mobile phone into a diagnostic (诊断的) tool.?
Ozcan’ s invention is important because it is very accurate and easy to use.In many remote places,even if doctors have microscopes and other instruments to help them make diagnoses,there may still be other problems.Many doctors,for example, don’t have enough training to correctly interpret what they see.3. With Ozcan’s mobile phone app,health workers can take a special photo of a blood sample and send it to a central computer at a hospital.The computer will then automatically interpret the photo and send a diagnosis back in a few minutes.?
4. His technology only requires a mobile phone and an Internet connection. As more than four billion people already have cell phones,the cost of establishing the diagnostic system is fairly low.?
By inventing a medical tool that uses existing technology—mobile phones,Ozcan has developed a medical tool that is both practical and economical.Therefore,it can be effective almost anywhere.5. ?
A.Another reason why Ozcan’s invention is important is that it is inexpensive.
B.Even though you may only have a simple infection (感染),you might die because of the delay.
C.People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.
D.Ozcan’ s simple,cost-effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.
E.This tool has become much more popular all around the world.
F.You become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.
G.As a result,they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.

A
(2018武汉高三调研)
When I graduated from the University of Iowa last year,I did something my friends did not understand.I left Iowa,where I had friends and stability,to live on a small houseboat near San Francisco.At school,I had found a job driving a school bus so people asked,“Why on earth are you leaving?”
Well,at graduation I was presented with two things—a degree in psychology and a question.It was the same one that many in my generation got:“What do I do now?” It was as difficult as it was common.That’ s because many people at my age were raised with the same words,repeated over and over by parents,teachers and TV,that“you can be whatever you want to be”.As a young boy,every time when I was puzzled about my future,they would say that they would be happy if I was happy.However,what I needed was concrete advice but not a vague idea,for example,“be a doctor,or be a bus driver”.
My experience was by no means universal.Many Americans are taught by their parents that the only purpose in life is to attain money and power.As a goal,this seems much easier and clearer than finding “happiness” or “gentleness”.The result of this upbringing is that many of my classmates did not specialize in any particular skill,rather assuming that something would magically happen to overcome their problems.They often get a real shock when they enter the “real world” and find that their options are very limited.Many of my friends have taken jobs as waiters or cooks after graduating,or have moved back in with their parents.
My life on the boat is hard at times,especially during storms.But this is my small attempt to be happy on my own.I’m not buying into my nation’s idea of limitless possibilities because I feel that stops the growth of many of today’s youth.

语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者用自身经历指出当今美国的一个社会问题:青少年需要父母更为具体的引导和教育,让他们知道自己将来具体想要做什么。
答案及剖析:
1.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“I did something my friends did not understand.I left Iowa,where I had friends and stability,to live on a small houseboat near San Francisco”可知,作者离开了Iowa,那里有他的朋友,有稳定的工作,但他去了旧金山附近的一个船屋,开始一种不一样的生活,他的朋友们对他的这种做法很不理解。
2.C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段尤其是其中的“what I needed was concrete advice but not a vague idea”可知,作者想要的是具体的建议,故可推知他认为他得到的引导是宽泛的,故答案是C。
3.D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句“Many of my friends have taken jobs as waiters or cooks after graduating,or have moved back in with their parents”(我的很多朋友在毕业后都当了服务生或厨师,或者搬回去跟父母住在一起),上文分析了导致这种情况的原因“The result of this upbringing is that many of my classmates did not specialize in any particular skill”,也就是说,父母的这种教育方式导致很多孩子没有去认真学习专业技能。由于缺少专业技能,很多美国人的工作低于期望值。故答案是D。
B
Like the possible dangers around the home,getting on the school bus can also bring its own set of dangers.There are several important safety measures that parents should be aware of when it comes to bus safety.
Parents should always make sure that someone is taking charge of children at the bus stop to make certain clear ground rules which are in place and are being followed—particularly rules that forbid horseplay in and around the street.
Teach children to ask the bus driver for help in picking up anything they may have dropped around the bus,as children getting dropped articles are often hit by the bus or another vehicle because they are not seen by the bus driver or by oncoming traffic.
Children should be asked to take five large steps away from the bus when they get off it,and make sure that the bus driver can see them and look them directly in the eyes to signal it is OK to cross the street.It is still very important that children also look both ways as they cross the street.
Inform children that they must never speak to any stranger who talks with them first and that they must never accept a ride from any person unless their parents tell them directly that it is OK.Teach kids that adults should ask other adults for help,not kids.If an adult asks a kid for help,that child should get another adult.
If for any reason a child feels uncomfortable or unsafe at the bus stop he needs to bring it to a parent’s or caregiver’s attention.
Remember,planning ahead is always the best safety measure.Follow these rules and your family will be off danger!
4.The underlined word “horseplay” in Paragraph 2 has the similar meaning as .?
A.ride a horse around B.chase each other
C.stay in order D.play games on horses
5.What should a child do when his book falls around the bus?
A.Turn to the bus driver. B.Ask other children for help.

A.refuse to talk with strangers B.deal with strangers on the road
C.avoid dangers from strangers D.escape from dangerous strangers
7.Which of the following is the best to make your children safe?
A.Sending them to school yourself. B.Making preparations in advance.
C.Asking them to go to school by bus. D.Warning them of various dangers.
语篇解读:危险无处不在,孩子乘车上学也有很多危险因素。本文在这方面提出了一些建议。
答案及剖析:
4.B 词义猜测题。学生在等公交车时要禁止追逐打闹,以免出现危险。horseplay“玩闹,打闹”,chase each other“相互追逐打闹”,两者意思类似。
5.A 细节理解题。学生乘车时,如果有物件掉到车周围,应该向司机寻求帮助。由第三段的Teach children to ask the bus driver for help in picking up anything they may have dropped around the bus.得出。
6.C 主旨大意题。本段建议避免来自陌生人的危险。如不要跟陌生人讲话、不上陌生人的车、拒绝陌生人的求助等。
7.B 细节理解题。提前准备是避免危险的最好办法。由最后一段的Remember,planning ahead is always the best safety measure得出。
Ⅱ.语法填空
An old man was seated in the train with his 25-year-old son.As the train started the young man was filled with a lot of joy 1. curiosity.He was seated on the window side.He stuck out one hand to feel the 2. (pass)air.He shouted,“Papa,see all the trees are going behind.”The old man smiled and admired his son’s emotions.?
There was a couple 3. were seated beside the young man.They probably thought it 4. (be)a little awkward,observing that the 25-year-old man was behaving like a small child.?

答案及剖析:
1.and 考查并列连词。两部分内容是并列关系时,用and连接。此处连接joy和curiosity。
2.passing 考查非谓语动词。pass与逻辑主语air是主动关系。passing作定语,修饰air。
3.who 考查关系代词。who引导定语从句,作主语,从句修饰couple。
4.was 考查系动词be的时态。叙述过去的事情,用一般过去时。
5.animals 考查名词复数。animals是名词复数表泛指。
6.bothered 考查非谓语动词。bothered是过去分词,作状语,与逻辑主语The couple是被动关系。
7.Shortly 考查副词。shortly after是固定短语,意思是“不久之后;很快”。
8.more 考查形容词比较级。even修饰比较级。
9.the 考查冠词。old man此处是特指,用定冠词the。
10.obtained 考查时态。叙述过去的事情,用一般过去时。
Ⅲ.书面表达

Any suggestions you could give me about this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Yours,
Alice

One possible version:
Dear Alice,
I’m glad to receive your e-mail.From your e-mail,I know that your parents don’t agree with your idea that you want to go somewhere with your friends to spend your summer vacation.
In my view,it’ s a good idea for teenagers to go somewhere with friends.Here are my tips for you.First,it’s important to have a talk with your parents and persuade them that you are old enough to manage things properly.Second,if they agree,you’d better make a detailed plan for your travel in advance,including your destination and your means of transportation.If they don’t agree,you’d better show respect for them.
Anyway,I wish you a pleasant summer vacation.
Yours,
Li Hua
