[2020·潍坊高考模拟]In
2009,
Dan
Black
was
hit
by
a
car
in
his
hometown
of
Chepstow,
Wales,
as
he
was
biking
to
his
job
at
a
grocery
store.
The
accident
left
him
unable
to
move
from
the
chest
down.
During
his
recovery,
he
suffered
a
stroke
that
made
his
right
arm
useless.
Once
a
promising
guitarist,
Dan,
now
25,
lives
with
his
parents
and
requires
around?the?clock
care
that
costs
nearly
$300,000
a
year.
After
the
accident,
a
friend
of
him
started
the
Help
Dan
Black
Fund
(基金)
to
cover
some
of
Dan's
medical
expenses.
Dan
learned
about
an
experimental
stem
cell
(干细胞)
treatment
in
China
that
could
enable
him
to
walk
again.
After
four
years,
donations
to
help
Dan
Black
totaled
nearly
$30,000.
One
day,
in
2013,
a
news
story
caught
the
eye
of
Dan's
mother,
Michacla,
who
then
shared
the
story
with
her
son.
The
story
featured
a
five?year?old
boy
named
Brecon
Vaughan.
He
had
a
rare
form
of
disease
and
never
walked
by
himself.
The
boy's
family
had
created
a
website
with
which
to
raise
nearly
$100,000
needed
for
a
trip
to
the
St.
Louis
Children's
Hospital,
where
treatment
was
offered
that
could
help
Brecon
walk.
Only
half
the
amount
had
been
raised,
said
the
report.
Dan
deliberated.
Then,
after
considering
that
his
own
dream
of
walking
could
be
years
away,
he
donated
his
$30,000
to
Brecon's
cause.“I
know
how
it
feels
to
walk.
Brecon
doesn't.
He
needs
it
much
more
than
I
do.”
Dan
told
a
newspaper.
Dan's
generosity
received
a
great
deal
of
attention,
and
contributions
started
pouring
in
to
the
Vaughan
website.
The
family
soon
exceeded
their
fund?raising
goal.
They've
promised
to
give
the
extra
funds,
about
$17,000,
to
the
Tree
of
Hope
charity,
which
helps
sick
children
in
the
United
Kingdom
find
specialized
medical
help.
In
October,
Brecon
and
his
family
traveled
to
St.
Louis
to
begin
treatment.
“What
Dan
did
is
great.”
Brecon's
mother
said,
“It
is
an
extraordinary
gift.”

[2019·重庆第二次调研]Ask
9?year?old
Annie
what
the
worst
thing
was
that
ever
happened
in
her
house
last
year,
and
she
won't
tell
you
that
it
was
her
parents'
divorcing,
although
they
did.
No,
what
Annie
remembers
most
are
the
horrible
fights
leading
up
to
the
announcement
about
the
divorce
which
was,
as
turned
out,
despite
her
parents'
anxiety
about
telling
her,
“not
that
big
of
a
deal”.
“I
already
knew
they
were
not
getting
along
well，”
Annie
says.
“Every
night
after
I
went
to
bed,
I
would
hear
my
parents
fighting.
It
made
me
really
unhappy.
When
they
finally
decided
to
get
a
divorce,
all
that
stopped.”
Annie's
experience
is
more
common
than
you
might
think,
and
there
is
a
great
deal
of
evidence
to
suggest
that“staying
together
for
the
sake
of
the
children”
is
not
what
should
be
encouraged,
and
may
do
more
harm
than
good.
According
to
psychologist
Lynn
Martingdale,
hearing
their
parents
arguing
is
often
more
stressful
for
children
than
separation
and
divorce,
and
if
you
think
that
your
children
don't
know
that
there's
trouble
in
family,
then
you're
kidding
yourself.
The
home
life
of
children
whose
parents
have
an
unhappy
marriage
is
often
far
from
ideal,
and
what's
worse,
parents
will
compound
the
problem
by
taking
their
unhappiness
out
on
the
children.
The
Center
for
Moving
Forward
conducted
a
study
in
2014
in
which
they
followed
25
families
whose
parents
had
been
in
marriage
counseling.
After
tracking
these
families
for
5
years,
they
found
that
the
children
of
the
parents
who
eventually
got
divorced
were
not
worse
off
than
the
children
of
those
who
remained
together,
and
in
some
cases
far
better.
The
study
took
the
social
and
the
children's
general
sense
of
well?being
into
consideration.
8．Why
was
Annie
really
unhappy
according
to
Paragraph
1?
A．Because
her
parents
fought
every
night.
B．Because
her
parents
finally
got
divorced.
C．Because
her
parents
decided
to
abandon
her.
D．Because
her
parents
got
along
badly
with
her.
9．Which
statement
may
psychologist
Lynn
Martingdale
agree
with?
A．Separation
and
divorce
will
hurt
the
children
most.
B．Keeping
an
unhappy
marriage
hurts
children
more.
C．Children
can't
understand
their
parents'
marriage
well.
D．Children
can't
feel
the
unhappiness
from
their
parents.
10．What's
the
function
of
the
last
paragraph
in
the
passage?
A．To
give
an
example
of
divorce.
B．To
support
Annie's
correct
answer.
C．To
further
clear
the
author's
viewpoint.
D．To
highlight
the
importance
of
the
study.
11．What
is
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A．Divorce
Is
Good
for
Children
B．Divorce
Is
Not
the
Worst
Thing
C．Fighting

[2019·郑州第二次质量预测]Scientists
think
that
growing
garden
grass
could
be
the
secret
to
solving
our
energy
needs,
and
we
may
soon
be
able
to
replace
our
gasoline
with
“grassoline”．
The
team,
including
experts
from
Cardiff
University
in
Wales,
has
shown
that
hydrogen
can
be
taken
from
grass
in
useful
amounts
with
the
help
of
sunlight
and
a
cheap
catalyst
—
something
that
speeds
up
a
chemical
reaction
without
being
used
up.
It
is
the
first
time
that
this
has
been
shown
and
it
could
lead
to
a
sustainable
way
of
making
hydrogen,
reported
Asian
News
International.
This
could
be
an
important
kind
of
renewable
energy
because
it
is
high
in
energy
and
it
does
not
give
out
harmful
gases
when
it
is
burned.
Study
co?author
Michael
Bowker
said，“This
is
really
a
green
source
of
energy.
Hydrogen
is
seen
as
an
important
future
energy
carrier
as
the
world
moves
from
fossil
fuels
to
renewable
energy,
and
our
research
has
shown
that
even
garden
grass
could
be
a
good
way
of
getting
it.”
Cellulose
(纤维素),
which
is
a
key
part
of
plants
and
the
biopolymer
found
in
the
largest
numbers
on
the
earth,
could
be
a
great
source
of
hydrogen.
In
their
study,
the
team
looked
at
the
possibility
of
getting
hydrogen
from
cellulose
using
sunlight
and
a
simple
catalyst.
This
is
called
photocatalysis
(光催化作用)
and
in
it,
the
sunlight
starts
the
catalyst,
which
then
makes
cellulose
and
water
into
hydrogen.
The
researchers
studied
the
effectiveness
of
three
metal?based
catalysts,
of
which
nickel
(镍)
especially
interested
the
researchers,
as
it
is
a
much
more
common
metal
than
gold
and
palladium
and
it
saves
more
money.
According
to
Bowker,
producing
hydrogen
from
cellulose
using
photocatalysis
has
not
been
studied
in
detail.
The
team's
research
shows
that
large
amounts
of
hydrogen
can
be
produced
using
this
method
with
the
help
of
a
bit
of
sunlight
and
a
cheap
catalyst.
The
study
shows
that
it
is
effective
to
use
real
grass
taken
from
a
garden.“This
is
important
as
it
avoids
the
need
to
separate
and
clean
up
cellulose,
which
can
be
both
difficult
and
costly，”
said
Bowker.
12．What
are
needed
to
get
hydrogen
from
grass?
A．A
catalyst
and
palladium.
B．Water
and
cellulose.
C．Sunlight
and
a
biopolymer.
D．Sunlight
and
a
catalyst.
13．Why
is
the
new
way
of
making
hydrogen
considered
significant?
A．It
is
cheap,
green
and
sustainable.
B．It
is
the
best
to
produce
the
renewable
energy.
C．It
is
more
productive
and
efficient
than
other
methods.
D．It
can
replace
the
way
to
make
fossil
fuels
completely.
14．Why
does
nickel
interest
the
researchers
in
making
hydrogen
from
cellulose?
A．It
can
produce
the
largest
amount
of
hydrogen.
B．It
can
avoid
separating
and
cleaning
up

C．It
is
more
common
than
other
metals
and
costs
less.
D．It
works
quicker
than
other
metals
during
photocatalysis.
15．What
does
the
author
intend
to
tell
us
mainly
in
this
passage?
A．Catalysts
that

be
taken
from

[2020·福建质量检查]Some
people
put
their

For
many
people,
bicycling
is
not
just
an
easy
way
of
getting
around
town
but
also
an
exciting
sport.
__1__.
One
kind
of
race
is
the
time
trial.
Each
racer
leaves
the
starting
line
at
a
different
time
and
heads
hard
for
the
finish
line.
The
cyclist
who
covers
the
distance
in
the
shortest
amount
of
time
wins
the
race.
__2__，
because
the
bicycles
are
spread
out
and
are
not
likely
to
run
into
each
other.
Another
kind
of
race
is
more
difficult.
A
few
city
blocks
are
closed
to
traffic.
Then
all
the
racers
line
up
in
a
tight
pack
and
begin
racing
at
the
same
time.
__3__.
The
race
requires
more
than
speed.
It
also
requires
skilful
handling
of
the
bicycle
as
it
runs
at
full
speed
around
other
bicycles.
The
racer
who
completes
all
the
laps
first
is
the
winner.
__4__.
Racers
have
to
cover
anywhere
from
35
miles
to
almost
3,000
miles.
The
race
course
may
be
a
straight
stretch
of
road
or
a
long
series
of
roads
across
the
country.
The
prize
goes
to
the
first
person
who
crosses
the
finish
line.
Between
races
cyclists
stay
in
good
condition
by
doing
exercise
that
builds
up
their
strength
so
that
they
can
keep
riding
for
long
periods
of
time.
__5__，
they
often
join
bicycling
groups
and
become
licensed
racers.
Then
they
can
enter
special
races
all
over
the
country.
If
you're
a
cyclist,
keep
practicing.
You
could
become
a
star.
A．As
cyclists
become
more
experienced
B．A
time
trial
is
a
very
safe
race
for
beginners
C．Serious
cyclists
often
arrange
to

around
and
around

4．D 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中的“Then,

to
Brecon's

5．A 考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的“They've
promised
to
give
the
extra
funds,
about.
..
to
the
Tree
of
Hope
charity...”可知，筹款有剩余的钱，因此推测exceeded的含义为“超过”。故选A项。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章以9岁的孩子Annie的父母由于争吵导致最终离婚的叙述引入主题，接着通过论据论证了“在不幸的婚姻中，离婚并不是最糟糕的事”这一主题。
【难句分析1】 No,
what
Annie
remembers
most
are
the
horrible
fights
leading
up
to
the
announcement
about
the
divorce
which
was,
as
turned
out,
despite
her
parents'
anxiety
about
telling
her,
“not
that
big
of
a
deal”．
分析：该句为主从复合句。句中“what
Annie
remembers
most”为what引导的主语从句；“which
was,
as
turned
out,
and
despite
her
parents'
anxiety
about
telling
her,
‘not
that
big
of
a
deal’”为which引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the
divorce。
译文：不，Annie记得最清楚的是导致(她的父母)宣告离婚的可怕的争吵，尽管她的父母害怕告诉她，但是正如事实证明的那样，离婚“没什么大不了的”。
【难句分析2】 The
home
life
of
children
whose
parents
have
an
unhappy
marriage
is
often
far
from
ideal,
and
what's
worse,
parents
will
compound
the
problem
by
taking
their
unhappiness
out
on
the
children.
分析：该句为并列句。前一分句中“whose
parents
have
an
unhappy
marriage”为whose引导的定语从句，修饰先行词children,
whose在从句中作定语。
译文：父母婚姻不幸福的孩子的家庭生活往往很不理想，更糟的是，父母把他们的不幸福发泄在孩子身上，会使问题更加严重。
8．A 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Every
night
after
I
went
to
bed,
I
would
hear
my
parents
fighting.
It
made
me
really
unhappy”可知，Annie的父母每天晚上都吵架，这让她感到很不幸福。故A项正确。
9．B 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“According
to
psychologist
Lynn
Martingdale,
hearing
their
parents
arguing
is
often
more
stressful
for
children
than
separation
and
divorce”可知，心理学家Lynn
Martingdale认为，听父母吵架对孩子来说往往比分居和离婚更有压力，据此可以判断，Lynn
Martingdale认为维持不幸福的婚姻会更加伤害孩子。故B项正确。
10．C 考查主旨大意。根据最后一段中的“After
tracking
these
families
for
5
years,
they
found
that
the
children
of
the
parents
who
eventually
got
divorced
were
not
worse
off
than
the
children
of
those
who
remained
together,
and
in
some
cases
far
better”可知，在对这些家庭进行了5年的跟踪调查后，他们发现，最终父母离婚的孩子并不比那些父母仍在一起的孩子生活得更差，在某些情况下，他们的生活更好。据此可知，最后一段旨在通过研究进一步说明本文的论点：在不幸的婚姻中，离婚不是最糟糕的选择。故C项正确。
11．B 考查主旨大意。根据第一段第二句和Annie所说的话可知，对孩子们来说，父母的争吵比离婚更糟糕；结合第二段中的“there
is
a
great
deal
of
evidence
to
suggest
that
‘staying
together
for
the
sake
of
the
children’
is
not
what
should
be
encouraged,
and
may
do
more
harm
than
good”可以判断，本文的主旨是：在不幸的婚姻中，和离婚相比，父母为孩子而在一起给孩子的伤害最大。最后一段的研究也论证了这一点。故B项最适合作为本文标题。
【语篇解读】 该文主要介绍了从纤维素中提取氢气这一新方法。
【熟词生义】 study常用义：v.学习
例句：She
has
been
awarded
a
scholarship
to
study
at
Harvard.
她获得了去哈佛大学读书的奖学金。
本文义：n.&v.研究
例句1：Recent
studies
show
that
women
still
get
paid
a
lot
less
than
men.
最近的调查表明，女性的薪水仍比男性的要低很多。
例句2：Scientists
are
studying
the
photographs
of
Mars
for
signs
of
life.
科学家们正在研究火星的照片，寻求生命的迹象。
【难句分析】 The
researchers
studied
the
effectiveness
of
three
metal?based
catalysts,
of
which
nickel
(镍)
especially
interested
the
researchers,
as
it
is
a
much
more
common
metal
than
gold
and
palladium
and
it
saves
more
money.
分析：本句是一个复合句。which引导非限制性定语从句，
指代先行词three
metal?based
catalysts;
as引导原因状语从句。
译文：研究人员研究了三种金属基催化剂的效果，其中镍尤其让研究人员感兴趣，因为它与金子和钯比起来更常见，而且也更省钱。
12．D 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“hydrogen
can
be
taken
from
grass
in
useful
amounts
with
the
help
of
sunlight
and
a
cheap
catalyst”可知，从草中获取氢气需要阳光和催化剂。
13．A 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“it
could
lead
to
a
sustainable
way
of
making
hydrogen”可知，这种方法是可持续的；根据第七段内容可知该方法成本低且无污染，故选A。
14．C 考查细节理解。根据第七段最后一句“The
researchers
studied
the
effectiveness
of
three
metal?based
catalysts,
of
which
nickel
(镍)
especially
interested
the
researchers,
as
it
is
a
much
more
common
metal
than
gold
and
palladium
and
it
saves
more
money”可知，研究人员对金属镍感兴趣是因为其更常见，且价格更廉价。
15．B 考查主旨大意。根据第一段点题，并结合最后一段的再次强调说明，以及对全文的整体理解可推知，本文主要讲述的是从纤维素中制造氢气这一新方法。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。详细介绍了几种骑自行车的比赛。
1．C 根据空处所在的位置可知，该句承上启下；由下文介绍的几种骑自行车比赛可知，C项“热衷骑自行车的人经常筹备参加骑自行车比赛”符合语境。
2．B 根据空后的“because
the
bicycles
are
spread
out
and
are
not
likely
to
run
into
each
other”可知，由于自行车是分散的，不太可能互相碰撞；故对于新手来说这种比赛是安全的，故B项正确。
3．F 根据空处上下文可知，空处承接上文，继续介绍这种难度较大的骑自行车比赛具体的比赛内容，故F项正确。且F项中的“the
city
blocks”与该段中的“A
few
city
blocks”呼应。
4．D 根据空后一句“Racers
have
to
cover
anywhere
from
35
miles
to
almost
3,000
miles”可知，参赛者必须骑35英里到近3
000英里的路程；又结合本段第三句的内容可知，D项“道路比赛通常是路程最长的骑自行车比赛”符合语境。
5．A 根据空后的“they
often
join
bicycling
groups
and
become
licensed
racers”可知，他们经常参加自行车团体，并成为有执照的参赛者；据此可推知，空处是说这些骑自行车者越来越有经验，故A项正确。

8．D 根据上文中的“He

get
stuck,
so
he
got
out
of
his
truck
to
help.”可知，此处vehicle符合语境，故选D项。
9．A 此处指有人高声喊：“我父母！我父母！”，故选A项。
10．B 根据下文的“when

18．B 这是美国红十字会把奖项授予他的原因。honor“给……荣誉；表彰”符合语境，故选B项。

第二节
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了有关脸盲症的相关信息，以及有关脸盲症的最新研究，该研究有助于我们对如何记住我们周围的世界有一个更深的了解。
1．simply 考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词，故用副词simply修饰其后的impossible。

not可知，连接词应是whether或if，所以正确答案是whether/if。

①schoolmate改为schoolmates schoolmate是可数名词，且其与语境中的teachers呼应，故用其复数形式。
②what改为that 分析句子结构可知，It在句中作形式主语，此处引导的从句作真正的主语，且此处在从句中不作句子成分，故将what改为that。
③删除an 根据固定搭配for
example“例如”，故删除an。
④come改为comes 主语it是第三人称单数，且此处叙述的是一般的情况，故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，即comes。
⑤it改为them 此处应用them代指该句中的复数名词opinions。
⑥after改为before 根据语境及常识可知，讨论之后再做最终的决定是必要的，故用连词before。

with
sb“与某人交流”，故在communicate后加with。

第二节 书面表达
【参考范文】
Dear
Carol，
I'm
a
student
who
lives
in
the
same
neighbourhood
with
you.
Hearing
that
you
want
a
tutor
to
teach
your
son
Chinese,
I
can't
wait
to
recommend
myself
to
you
with
great
sincerity.
I
believe
I
will
be
your
best
choice.
First,
having
acquired
a
good
knowledge
of
Chinese
and
reasonable
teaching
methods,
I
am
able
to
help
your
son
immerse
himself
in
the
new
language.
Besides,
with
my
fluent
English
and
outgoing
personality,
I
don't
think
you
need
to
worry
about
the
communication
between
us.
Lastly,
I
have
the
experience
of
teaching
foreigners
to
learn
Chinese
and
they
speak
highly
of
me.
I
can
come
to
give
classes
every
Sunday.
And
I
would
appreciate
it
if
you
could
give
me
this
valuable
chance.
Looking
forward
to
your
early
reply.
Yours，
