A
(2019·石家庄模拟)Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters(通勤者) and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce.
There are no written or photographic records of the women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records. What’s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat captains who have called it the Ladies’ Bridge.
During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25,000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out back?breaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the trend in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.
September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45?minute musical entitled “the Singing Bridge”, which runs at Somerset House from 9 to 25 September. In late September, the “Light up the Ladies’ Bridge” event sees the National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections(投影) of female construction workers working in construction during World War Ⅱ.
Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。介绍了英国滑铁卢桥的历史、建造人及纪念活动等。

A.The records of their work have been lost.
B.Female workers received little attention.
C.The construction took place long ago.
D.Few people know about the bridge.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知,自从20世纪80年代建造该桥的建筑公司倒闭以来,就没有妇女建造该桥的文字或照片记录了,所有的记录随着公司的倒闭都丢失了,故A项正确。
2.Why did London women do the construction work?
A.It was a tradition in London.
B.They wanted to get a steady job.
C.The company offered them better pay.
D.Most men had gone to the battlefield.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句可知,由于二战期间大部分男子都上前线参战了,而妇女便不得不充当起了男子的角色,故D项正确。
3.What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A.The influence of the bridge on art.
B.A musician’s contribution to the bridge.
C.The events in honor of the bridge builders.
D.Women’s work during the Second World War.
C 解析:段落大意题。通读第四段可知,该段第一句为该段主题句,该段主要介绍了在九月份举行的一系列纪念建桥者的活动,故C项正确。
4.Which can be the best title for the text?

(2019·成都高中毕业班摸底测试)The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl,yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards.When somebody asks her,“How do you hear?” She responds,“How do you hear?Is it only with your ears?” For Glennie,and for us too,listening is not only hearing,but is understanding.We need to listen to what is said and unsaid,and also how it is said.
It’s important to hear what people say accurately.As Mark Twain said,“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug(萤火虫).”If you miss something or you’re not sure you’ve heard accurately,ask the speakers.At this point you’re not evaluating what they say,but just looking for accuracy and understanding.Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don’t say.Why are they saying this now,instead of sooner or later?Why are they emphasizing these points,instead of something else?
Listen to how it is said.People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say.While going through the next points,think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss,and see if any of these signals might come up.First,voices.When others speak,notice changes in their volume,pace,and tone.Second,body language.Notice gestures,eye contact,and facial expressions.Do these sync what they are saying,or do they tell a different story?Third,emotions.What is the person’s true feeling?Now you might not know for sure,but be considerate,open to understanding,and ask thoughtful questions.
【解题导语】 本文讲述了聆听的内涵。我们要听懂说话人想要表达的言外之意,并且要注意说话方式。
5.What’s the writer’s purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?
A.To give an example of wise words.
B.To introduce a world?famous musician.
C.To help explain the meaning of listening.
D.To encourage us to fight against disability.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For Glennie,and for us too,listening is not only hearing,but is understanding.”可知,对于Glennie和“我们”来说,聆听不仅是用耳朵听而且是理解,这里说明了聆听的内涵。所以选项C正确。
6.What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?
A.It is important to have a good knowledge of English words.
B.People should know words can be used in many different ways.
C.English is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary.
D.The slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It’s important to hear what people say accurately.”和“At this point you’re...looking for accuracy and understanding.”可知,准确听懂说话者的意思很重要。因此,选项D “词语的细微差异可能导致误解。”与Mark Twain所说的话意思相吻合。
7.What does the underlined word “sync” probably mean?
A.Match. B.Prove.
C.Describe. D.Analyze.
A 解析:词义猜测题。画线词前的修饰词these指代前一句中的“gestures,eye contact,and facial expressions”;再根据画线词后的“what they are saying,or do they tell a different story”可推断,match与画线词意思相近。故选A。
8.Which is the best title of this passage?
A.Speak While You Listen
B.Listen Beyond Words
C.Read Between Lines
D.Think as You Talk
B 解析:标题归纳题。本文主要说明通过观察说话人的说话方式来听懂说话人想表达的言外之意。所以选B。
C
(2019·广西高三毕业班适应性测试)Although American children still spend part of their days reading, they are spending less time doing it for pleasure than years ago according to a recent report.
“It raises an alarm,” said Vicky Rideout, the lead author of the report. “We’re witnessing a really large drop in reading among teenagers and the speed of that drop is getting faster and faster.”
The report found that the percentage of nine?year?old children reading for pleasure once or more per week had dropped from 81 percent in 1984 to 76 percent in 2015, based on government studies.There were even larger reductions among older children.A large percentage rarely read for pleasure.About a third of 13?year?olds reported in one study that they read for pleasure less than twice a year.
The report also found that many young children are struggling with literacy(读写能力).Only about one?third of fourth grade students are “proficient(熟练的)” in reading and another one?third scored below “basic” in reading skills.
Despite the large percentage of children with below?basic reading skills, reading scores among young children have improved since the 1970s, according to one test that measures reading ability.
The reading scores among 17?year?olds, however,remained relatively unchanged since the 1970s.
About 46 percent of white children are considered “proficient” in reading, compared with 18 percent of black children and 20 percent of Hispanic(西班牙的) kids. Those gaps have remained relatively unchanged over the past 20 years, according to the report. “To go 20 years with no progress in that area is shameful,” Rideout said.
The report highlights some behavior that has been tied to children being more frequent readers. The behavior includes parents setting aside time to read with their children and parents reading themselves to model good behavior.
【解题导语】 调查发现,美国孩子的阅读时间有所减少。作者建议父母应当多留出时间陪孩子阅读,以及为孩子做好榜样。
9.We can know from the report findings that ________.
A.the reading scores among older children have improved
B.the reading scores among young children haven’t changed
C.the gap between black children and white children has narrowed
D.black children have lower proficiency in reading than white children
D 解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句中的“About 46 percent of white children are considered ‘proficient’ in reading,compared with 18 percent of black children”可知,与18%的能熟练阅读的黑人孩子相比,有46%的白人孩子能熟练阅读;据此可以判断,黑人孩子阅读的熟练程度比白人孩子低,故D项正确。
10.What’s Vicky Rideout’s attitude towards the report findings?
A.Indifferent. B.Doubtful.
C.Worried. D.Optimistic.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的“It raises an alarm”和倒数第二段最后一句中的“To go 20 years with no progress in that area is shameful”可推知,Rideout对报告结果感到担心,故C项正确。
11.What should parents do to make children frequent readers?
A.Buy more books for children.
B.Write as many books as possible.
C.Set a good example to their children.
D.Spend more time playing with their children.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据最后一句“The behavior includes parents setting aside time to read with their children and parents reading themselves to model good behavior.”可知,父母应花时间陪孩子阅读以及为孩子做好榜样。故C项正确。

(2019·甘肃重点中学高三联考)Mary Krupa became friends with the grey squirrels during her first week at Penn State, after spotting them running around and idly(漫不经心地) wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.
Mary started bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation.
Growing up in a neighborhood outside of State College, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact(交流) with people very much. She was later diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and we’ll just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them, ” she said. “I am a lot more outgoing.”
And in case you’re wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop(道具), and they’ll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.
This year, Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.
【解题导语】 宾夕法尼亚大学的“松鼠女孩”Mary曾经被诊断出患有阿斯伯格综合征,但是松鼠改变了她,使她变得外向起来。在和松鼠之间建立了信任以后,Mary拍了一些戴帽子的松鼠的照片,在互联网上引起了轰动。
12.What does the underlined word “sensation” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Hit. B.Challenge.
C.Attack. D.Link.
A 解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation.”可知,Mary拍的照片得到了非常积极的回应,在互联网上引起了轰动。hit“风行一时的事物”与画线词意思相近,所以A项正确。
13.What kind of change do squirrels bring to Mary?
A.She is sicker than before.
B.She is more interested in animals.
C.She is more sociable than before.
D.She is less willing to go to college.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知,Mary之前不善于交际,并被诊断患有阿斯伯格综合征,但是松鼠改变了她,使她变得外向了。
14.How did Mary manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats?
A.By putting them in cages.
B.By playing music to them.
C.By attracting them with colorful food.
D.By building a close relationship with them.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的描述可知,想给松鼠拍照需要借助食物,但并不是只要给松鼠食物,松鼠就会让她拍出想要的照片,她必须和松鼠之间建立信任而亲密的关系。
15.Which words can best describe Mary?
A.Confident and strong.
B.Patient and caring.
C.Sociable and healthy.
D.Traditional and hard?working.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据文中Mary与松鼠的相处及第四段中的“She had the patience to earn their trust, though.”可知,Mary有耐心且有爱心。

【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了鼓励和帮助考试失败者的方法。
1.G 解析:本句位于段落末尾,根据第二至五段首句的祈使句可以看出该空既要对第一段内容进行概括又要引出下文,讲述鼓励和帮助考试失败者的方法。所以选G项。
2.D 解析:根据该段主题句尤其是否定词Don’t及空前一句中重复出现的Don’t可知,此段主要讲不要嘲笑失败者,D项 “Or don’t compare their scores with yours.” 与前一句内容充分连贯,符合语境。
3.C 解析:选项C中的that指代前一句中的“everyone fails at some point”,空后提出克服失败情绪的方法,C项与上下文内容连贯,所以选C项。
4.B 解析:空处位于段落主题句的位置,所以句子的形式应该类似其他自然段的段落首句,即祈使句,所以可以重点关注A、B和E三个选项。根据该段下文内容可知,选项A和E与下文不连贯,所以排除;B项能较好地概括该段主题,所以选B项。
5.E 解析:根据该段中的“ways”,“methods”及主题句可知,本段主要是讲帮助他们找到新的学习方法,E项 “分享一些你认为成功的方法” 符合语境,E项中的ways也是提示。

B 解析:根据后一句“And I got a lot out of coaching.”可知,在当教练的过程中 “我” 得到了许多;据此可以判断,当教练是 “我” 人生中最有意义的经历。B项意为“有意义的”,符合语境,故B项正确。A项意为“遗憾的”;C项意为“有趣的”;D项意为“痛苦的”,都与语境不符。
18.A.nearly B.completely

A 解析:根据该句中的“the experience ______pushed me into coaching as my career” 并结合后一句中的“I chose journalism”可知这段经历几乎(nearly)促使 “我” 把教练作为“我” 以后的职业,但是 “我” 后来选择了新闻工作。B项意为“完全地”;C项意为“最后,终于”;D项意为“仅仅,简单地”。
19.A.again B.instead
C.too D.meanwhile

20.A.when B.how
C.where D.why
D 解析:根据该句中的“who knows ______we do anything at 21” 并结合常识可知,此处表示,谁会知道我们为什么在二十一岁的时候会做那样的事情?D项意为“为什么”,符合语境,故D项正确。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Andrew在没有任何工作经验的情况下参加了面试,可是却因留下一封感谢信被雇主看中,由此而获得了工作机会。
1.least 解析:考查形容词的最高级。分析句子结构可知,空格前有冠词“the”修饰,空格处修饰名词“experience”。根据形容词最高级前加the的用法可知,空格处应填形容词的最高级形式。故填least。
2.What 解析:考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导主语从句;且在主语从句中作主语。what在名词性从句中可充当主语、宾语和表语。故填What。注意首字母大写。
3.went 解析:考查动词的时态。本文主要时态是一般过去时。“Though”引导让步状语从句,主句是一般过去时,所以从句也应用一般过去时。故填went。
4.compared 解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空格处和句中谓语动词“didn’t have”间无连词,故需用其非谓语动词形式;且compare与其逻辑主语“he”之间构成被动关系,故空格处应用过去分词形式。故填compared。
5.to get 解析:考查非谓语动词。have the ability to do sth.为固定结构,意为“有能力做某事”。故填to get。
6.an 解析:考查冠词。give sb. sth.为固定结构,意为“给某人某物”;这里指Andrew面试完后,给接待员留下一个信封,冠词a/an表示泛指;且envelope的读音是以元音音素开头。故填an。
7.who 解析:考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导定语从句,指代先行词“the man”,指人,且在从句中作主语。故填who。
8.telling 解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句谓语动词为“got”,tell与“got”之间没有连词,故空格处应用非谓语动词;且tell与其逻辑主语“call”之间构成主动关系,故空格处用动词的现在分词形式。故填telling。
9.clearly 解析:考查词性转换。空格处修饰动词“knew”,故此处要用所给词的副词形式。故填clearly。
10.customers 解析:考查名词复数。句意为:他将会和顾客建立良好的关系……空格处被“his”修饰,故应填名词,且customer为可数名词;根据语境可知,此处指顾客们,故要用复数。故填customers。

【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了几个大学生考前在外贪玩,之后撒谎逃避考试,系主任巧妙应对的有趣故事。
61.stayed 解析:考查动词时态。通读文章和“One night”可知发生在过去,故填stayed。
62.to 解析:考查介词。固定搭配pay attention to sth.意为“留心,注意某事”,故用介词to。
63.taking 解析:考查非谓语动词。介词后跟名词、代词或动词?ing形式作宾语,故填taking。
64.themselves 解析:考查代词。根据语境可知,他们在自己身上抹上润滑油和泥土。该空与句子主语“They”呼应,故用themselves作宾语。
65.nervously 解析:考查副词。副词修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子。故用副词nervously修饰动词went。
66.had been 解析:考查动词时态。参加婚礼发生在他们陈述事件之前,表示过去的过去,故用过去完成时。
67.a 解析:考查冠词。tire是可数名词的单数形式,且第一次在语境中出现,故用不定冠词修饰,又因flat的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
68.thought 解析:考查名词。deep是形容词,修饰名词,且be/get lost in thought为固定短语,意为“陷入沉思”,故用名词thought。
69.When 解析:考查连词。when引导时间状语从句,意为“当……时候”,符合语境。
70.rooms 解析:考查名词复数。根据语境可知,系主任把他们安排在不同的房间,因此此处表示复数概念,故用rooms。
