(2019· 广州普通高中毕业班综合测试一)It’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world—but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.
Highly Sensitive
“Highly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset about an ineffective or a poor workout,” says researcher Elaine Aron.
For such people, individual or non?competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.
Type A Personality
Type A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However,this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.
To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.
Type B Personality
This laid?back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious.
Type B individuals succeed in creative and cooperative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.
Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文,主要论述了人的性格影响体育锻炼项目的选择。
1.Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?
A.They will feel like they are being evaluated.
B.They don’t like socializing with other people.
C.They don’t consider themselves to be athletic.
D.They fear they’ll be let down by their teammates.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,高度敏感的人可能不喜欢参加团体运动课程或团队体育运动的原因是他们觉得他们的每一个动作都会被观察到。据此可知,A项正确。
2.Type A people can be best described as ________.
A.committed B.flexible
C.independent D.sensitive
A 解析:推理判断题。由题干关键词 “Type A people” 定位至“Type A Personality” 部分;根据该部分中的“This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan,not to mention being super competitive.”可知,这种性格的人会坚守他们的计划;A项意为“坚定的”,故A项正确。
3.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To help people understand what personality type they are.
B.To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habits.
C.To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exercise.
D.To describe different types of workouts that are available today.
B 解析:写作意图题。通读全文尤其是文章第一段的第二句可知,本文主要论述了人的性格影响体育锻炼项目的选择,并介绍了不同性格的人的体育锻炼习惯。据此可知,本文旨在解释性格是如何影响人的体育锻炼习惯的,故B项正确。
B
(2019·福建质检)On a college camping trip, curiosity about waves and sand caused Rob Thieler to study shorelines around the world. Thirty years later and now a U.S. Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is combining science and smartphone technology to help study an endangered bird, the Atlantic coast piping plover(笛鸻).
The piping plover is a shorebird that breeds(繁殖) along the Atlantic coast, the Great Lakes and the Great Plains. Rising sea level associated with climate change, as well as increased development in their beach habitats(栖息地), threatens the species(物种).To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012.This is a marked change from the typical way scientists collect data, which involves gathering information by using specialized equipment or writing in notebooks and then putting it into spreadsheets.
Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1,500 km of breeding range. That equals about a third of the distance across the U.S., which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to gather data more efficiently. It also allows them to collect data at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a real?time idea of where and how piping plovers are using their habitats.
While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U.S. Geological Survey’s web?based “iCoast—Did the Coast Change?” invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by comparing bird’s eye?view photographs taken before and after storms. All the information scientists and citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and state agencies create policy plans for addressing climate change impacts(影响) worldwide.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了美国的地质学家将科学和智能手机技术结合起来,研制出了一款app监测笛鸻栖息地的变化,从而帮助保护这种濒危动物。
4.What can we know about the piping plover?
A.Its behaviour is changing.
B.Its habitat is growing bigger.
C.Its living environment is becoming worse.
D.Its breeding is limited to the Atlantic coast.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Rising sea level associated with climate change,as well as increased development in their beach habitats(栖息地),threatens the species(物种).”可知,与气候变化有关的海平面的上升和对它们的海滩栖息地越来越多的开发威胁到了这个物种,故推断出笛鸻的生存环境日益糟糕,本题选C。
5.Why did Thieler develop iPlover?
A.To study shorelines across America.
B.To advance information technology.
C.To find out global climate change.
D.To monitor changes of piping plover habitats.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“To help track changes in piping plover habitats,Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012.”可知,Thieler研制iPlover的目的是监测笛鸻栖息地的变化,本题选D。
6.Which of the following benefits the piping plover?
A.The camping equipment.
B.Research on smartphones.
C.The changeable coast.
D.Progress in technology.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容可知,免费的应用程序发行之后,科学家们的监测范围更广,并能更有效地收集数据,这些对于采取措施保护笛鸻很有好处,故技术的进步给笛鸻带来很多好处,本题选D。
7.What would be the best title of the text?
A.Protecting Endangered Shorebirds
B.Rob Thieler,a Creative Scientist
C.iPlover,a Tool for Training Field Staff
D.Differences Between iPlover and iCoast
A 解析:标题归纳题。根据文章大意可知,美国的地质学家将科学和智能手机技术结合起来,研制出一款app来监测笛鸻栖息地的变化,从而帮助保护这种濒危动物;再根据文章第二段第一句“The piping plover is a shorebird”可知,本题选A。
C
(2019·湖南部分重点中学考前演练)I’m sometimes told, “You have to make your own luck. If you don’t try something, how can you succeed?” This is very true for competitions.
There are people who regularly take part in all sorts of competitions with great enthusiasm. These people are nicknamed compers. The motivation for being a comper is obvious:it’s about being a winner and being rewarded with a prize. These prizes can be small or large:from a box of chocolates to a new car, a trip of a lifetime around the world, or even a new house. Isn’t that worth competing for?
Of course competitions that offer money prizes attract entry from millions of people, making the odds of winning very unlikely. But one man who has been lucky is a retired lecturer from the U.K. called Martin Dove. He is a serial comper and has managed to bag prizes such as a yacht and a racehorse.
Martin says:“I’ve been a comper for 40 years. It’s like admitting some addiction, isn’t it?” He gets respect from other compers and also admits,“Some people have called me the Master of Comping, the King of Comping, the Guru of Comping. But it’s just a word, just a phrase. It’s just because I frequently appeared in the media.”
For many, winning remains a dream, but they continue to try their luck as there’s always a small chance that they might succeed. But what if you do win? Then you have to ask:how am I going to spend all that money? Some people say that “money can’t buy you happiness”. What do you think?
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,阐述了一种社会现象:有些人总是热衷于参加各种形式的比赛活动,目的就是获奖。你是否有过类似的经历呢?
8.What does the author mean by “This is very true for competitions.”?
A.Competitions bring people luck.
B.One must be in a competition to win it.
C.Trying gets people to succeed.
D.People naturally compete with each other.
B 解析:推理判断题。This指的应是前面的“If you don’t try something, how can you succeed?”,再结合第二段提到的人们参加比赛赢奖可知,此处指的是对于比赛来说,一个人必须先参与进去然后才有可能赢得比赛,故选B。
9.Who are compers?
A.Those always standing out in competitions.
B.Those addicted to entering competitions.
C.Those often entering competitions for prizes.
D.Those competing for others’ recognition.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“There are people who regularly take part in all sorts of competitions...it’s about being a winner and being rewarded with a prize.”可知,compers指的是那些频繁地参加比赛以获取奖品的人。故选C。
10.What does the underlined word “odds” probably mean?
A.Possibility. B.Investment.
C.Importance. D.Advantage.
A 解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“Of course competitions that offer money prizes attract entry from millions of people,making the odds of winning very unlikely.”并结合常识可知,比赛的奖金是有限的,而参赛的人越多,获奖的概率就越小。由此可知,odds的意思是“概率,可能性”。故选A。
11.What do Martin’s words suggest?
A.Any job can offer opportunities.
B.He has attracted considerable attention.
C.Persistence is the key to his success.
D.He has set a good example to others.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的最后两句及第四段的内容可知,Martin经常参加比赛,而且得到了一些大奖并赢得了其他参赛者的尊重,甚至一些人称其为“参赛大师”、“参赛大王”、“参赛专家”。由此可知,Martin得到了广泛的关注。故选B。
D
(2019·湖北部分重点中学新高三起点考试)“It’s a big hammer to crack a nut.”This is how one angry parent described the recent crackdown(严厉的打击) by London police on parents who drop their kids off at school by car. Yes,you read that correctly—the very mode of transportation that many American schools insist is the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now considered illegal in the U.K.
The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids within a particular zone of east London comes from city councilors’(议员) long?term efforts to make the area safer and less crowded. They say they’ve been trying for years “to encourage reasonable parking”,but in vain. Neighborhood residents complain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more,often while they’re trying to get to work,and the streets are long overcrowded.
Now the rules have changed.Some parents are angry. Angie is a mother who made the “big hammer”comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top”.The nearest drop?off point for her six?year?old is now a five?minute walk from the school. Others are happy with the decision,severe though it may seem.
Councilor Jason Frost said: “Traffic has been clearly reduced,and more children are now walking to school,which is a great outcome.I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.”
I witness daily the chaos(混乱) created by these in?town drivers,when I walk my own kids to school. There’s a parking lot crowded with vehicles and a slow?moving train of cars moving in circles,many filling the air with harmful smoke. Meanwhile,the conversations around overweight children and the importance of daily physical activities continue to stand out in schools.
【解题导语】 本文讲述伦敦自实行在学校门口严禁停车这一做法以来的变化。
12.Why is Angie opposed to the new rule?
A.She is often fined by London police.
B.She will lose her job as a school driver.
C.She has adapted to the American practice.
D.She thinks it adds inconvenience to her kid.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The nearest drop?off point for her six?year?old is now a five?minute walk from the school.”可知,对于她6岁的孩子来说,最近的下车点离学校有五分钟的步行路程,据此可推知,Angie认为不能在校门口停车给孩子带来不便。所以选项D正确。
13.Why has the new rule been made according to Jason Frost?
A.On account of many complaints.
B.Because of students’ health problem.
C.Owing to safety concern.
D.Due to air pollution.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“long?term efforts to make the area safer and less crowded”以及第四段最后一句可知,选项C的表述“Owing to safety concern.”是正确的。
14.What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out?
A.Less daily chaos.
B.Support from all people.
C.More overweight children.
D.Complaints from neighbors.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Traffic has been clearly reduced,and more children are now walking to school,which is a great outcome.”可知,车辆已经明显减少,许多孩子正在步行上学,日常混乱的场景越来越少,这是最大的结果,所以选项A正确。
15.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Parents attempt to resist a school rule.
B.London police cause widespread anger.
C.American schools care more about kids’ safety.
D.Different voices are heard on a new traffic policy.
D 解析:主旨大意题。根据全文可知,伦敦学校门口家长停车造成安全事故和交通堵塞,因此议员提议对这一现象进行制止,由此引发家长的议论。因此选项D符合题意。
七选五

Keep a food diary. Write down everything you eat for a day—and no fair skipping the items you’re embarrassed about. “2.________,” says Kathianne Sellers Williams, MEd, RD, a nutritionist, wellness coach, and personal trainer with Cafe Physique in Atlanta. “You can’t change what you’re not aware of or don’t acknowledge.”

5.F 解析:根据空前的“It’s not about being ‘good’or‘bad’,‘right’or‘wrong’.”可知,选F项“意识到你自身的健康状况是很重要的”。

6.unbearable 解析:考查词形转换。根据语境可知,商业利益胜过了教育目的,这使得令人难以忍受的广告遭到了诸多投诉。unbearable是bearable的反义词,意为“难以忍受的”,修饰名词“advertisements”,符合语境。故填unbearable。
7.though/although 解析:考查连词。句意:此外,一些尖刻的言论,尽管非常引人注目,但也许会对年轻人产生误导。根据语境可知,空格处引导让步状语从句,意为“尽管,虽然”。故填though/although。
8.entertaining 解析:考查非谓语动词。“instead of”为介词短语,后接v.?ing,即这些节目应承担更多的责任而不只是娱乐大众。故填entertaining。
9.As 解析:考查非限制性定语从句。句意:正如预料的那样,这些节目在形式和作用上都应积极向上。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语,指代后面的整个主句,意为“正如”。故填As。注意首字母大写。
10.media 解析:考查名词复数。根据空格前的定冠词“the”可知,此处应用名词作主语;此处指所有的媒体,故用medium的复数形式。故填media。

(2019·昆明复习适应性检测)The so?called Americanization phenomenon seems to be more a result of the recent globalization(全球化) in our world. If we find various American products worldwide, 61.____________is also increasingly common to find Asian products in the United States.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文,主要介绍全球化的影响。
61.it 解析:考查形式主语。分析句子结构可知,空处所在句子缺主语,又因为此处表示,在美国,亚洲产品也屡见不鲜,应用it作形式主语指代后面的动词不定式 to find Asian products in the United States。
62.Going 解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处在句子中作状语,所以应填go的?ing形式,注意首字母大写,所以填Going。
63.years 解析:考查名词单复数。根据a few可知,其后应用名词的复数形式,故填years。
64.completely 解析:考查副词。此处应用complete的副词形式修饰形容词surprised,故填completely。
65.an 解析:考查冠词。根据空前介词on和空后名词street可知,此处缺冠词修饰street,而unnamed以元音音素开头,故填不定冠词an。
66.have discovered 解析:考查动词时态。分析句子成分可知,空处作谓语,又由句首的时间状语Since I moved to America可知,谓语应用现在完成时,故填have discovered。
67.or 解析:考查并列连词。either...or “要么……要么” 是固定搭配,故填or。
68.attractive 解析:考查形容词。空处需要用形容词来修饰movie,所以应用attract的形容词形式attractive(吸引人的)。
69.to reduce 解析:考查固定搭配。would like to do sth.意思是 “想要做某事”,故填to reduce。
70.what 解析:考查宾语从句。空处所在从句是choose的宾语,该宾语从句缺主语,故填what。
