B
(2020·贵州省安顺市高三联考)Harry
is
a
vehicle
called
a
pod—in
other
words,
something
like
a
car.
But
Harry
has
no
steering
wheel
or
brake
pedal.
Harry
does
not
even
have
a
driver.
Yet
Harry
is
carrying
passengers
around
London
for
the
next
few
weeks.
Harry
is
part
of
an
experiment
called
GATEway
that
is
testing
how
people
react
to
driverless
vehicles.
The
name
GATEway
is
short
for
Greenwich
Automated
Transport
Environment.
The
experiment
aims
to
help
cities
prepare
for
the
future
of
transportation.
The
GATEway
experiment
does
not
test
new
technology.
Instead,
it
tests
the
way
existing
technology
can
work
in
society.
The
pod
operates
in
an
area
of
London
called
Greenwich,
home
of
time
and
navigation
museums.
Other
places
where
pods
will
be
tested
are
Coventry,
Milton,
Keynes
and
Bristol.
The
pods
run
using
sensors
and
a
3D
map
of
the
area.
A
safety
operator
rides
along
to
take
control
in
case
of
an
emergency.
GATEway
is
intended
to
see
how
pedestrians
and
cyclists
may
adapt
to
driverless
vehicles.
Harry
holds
up
to
four
people
(three
passengers
and
a
safety
operator)
and
can
travel
at
speeds
up
to
16km/h.
It
is
being
tested
in
Greenwich
on
pedestrian
paths,
but
not
on
roads
with
other
vehicles.
If
you
are
in
Greenwich
during
the
next
few
weeks
you
may
see
Harry,
but
you
cannot
ride
in
it
during
the
trial.
Over
5,000
people
applied
to
be
a
passenger
in
Harry
but
only
about
100
were
chosen.
You
can
however,
ride
in
a
similar
pod
at
Heathrow
Airport
in
London.
The
Heathrow
pods
run
on
tracks
so
they
are
not
being
tested
with
pedestrians,
cyclists
or
other
drivers.
If
the
trials
are
successful,
the
first
pods
could
be
operational
on
the
roads
of
the
UK
in
2020.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了一辆无人驾驶车在伦敦投入实验，为将来在城市里使用做准备。
4．What's
the
purpose
of
the
GATEway?
A．To
settle
traffic
problems
in
cities.
B．To
test
a
new
transportation
technology.
C．To
prepare
cities
for
future
transportation.
D．To
draw
people's
interest
in
transportation.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“The
experiment
aims
to
help
cities
prepare
for
the
future
of
transportation.”可知，实验的目的是为将来使用这种无人驾驶交通工具做准备。
5．What
will
happen
if
Harry
meets
with
dangerous
situation?
A．The
passengers
will
help.
B．It
will
deal
with
it
by
itself.
C．An
accident
will
take
place.
D．A
human
driver
will
take
it
over.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“A
safety
operator
rides
along
to
take
control
in
case
of
an
emergency.”可知，无人驾驶车辆一旦遇到紧急情况，会有安全操作员来接管它。
6．Why
is
Harry
running
on
the
sidewalk?
A．To
test
the
response
of
people
walking
or
on
a
bike.
B．To
avoid
disturbing
other
vehicles
on
the
street.
C．To
prevent
it
from
running
at
high
speed.
D．To
watch
pedestrians
and
cyclists
go
safely.
答案：A 推理判断题。根据第四段笫一句“GATEway
is
intended
to
see
how
pedestrians
and
cyclists
may
adapt
to
driverless
vehicles.”可知，这台无人驾驶车辆在人行道上行驶，是为了测试行人和骑车人的反应。
7．What's
people's
attitude
towards
Harry?
A．Fearful.
B．Positive.
C．Doubtful.
D．Grateful.
答案：B 推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“Over
5,000
people
applied
to
be
a
passenger
in
Harry
but
only
about
100
were
chosen.”可知，需要100人参加实验，结果报名5,000人，说明人们对此项实验持积极的态度。

C
Futurologists
(未来学家)
predict
that
life
will
probably
be
very
different
in
2050
in
all
the
fields
of
activity,
from
entertainment
to
technology.
First
of
all,
it
seems
that
TV
channels
will
have
disappeared
by
2050.
Instead,
people
will
choose
a
programme
from
a
“menu”
and
a
computer
will
send
the
programme
directly
to
the
television.
Today,
we
can
use
the
World
Wide
Web
to
read
newspaper
stories
and
see
pictures
on
a
computer
thousands
of
kilometers
away.
By
2050,
music,
films,
programmes,
newspapers
and
books
will
come
to
us
by
computer.
We
will
also
be
able
to
see,
smell
and
touch
the
things
that
we
see
on
television.
In
transport,
cars
will
run
on
new,
clean
“gas”
and
they
will
go
very
fast.
Cars
will
have
computers
to
control
the
speed
of
the
car
and
there
won't
be
any
accidents.
Today,
many
cars
have
computers
that
tell
drivers
exactly
where
they
are.
By
2050,
the
computer
will
control
the
car
and
drive
it
to
where
you
want
to
go.
Space
planes
will
fly
all
over
the
world
and
people
will
fly
from
Los
Angels
to
Tokyo
in
just
two
hours.
In
technology,
robots
will
have
replaced
people
in
factories.
Many
factories
already
use
robots.
Big
companies
prefer
robots—they
do
not
ask
for
pay
rises
or
go
on
strike,
and
they
work
24
hours
a
day.
By
2050,
we
will
see
robots
everywhere—in
factories,
schools,
offices,
hospitals,
shops
and
homes.
Last
but
not
least,
medicine
technology
will
have
conquered
many
diseases.
By
2050,
we
will
be
able
to
help
blind
and
deaf
people
see
again
and
hear
again.
Scientists
will
be
able
to
produce
clones
(克隆)
of
people
and
decide
how
they
look,
how
they
behave
and
how
much
intelligence
they
have.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，从娱乐、交通、机器人、医药学等角度对公元2050年时人类生活的变化做了展望。
8．What
is
NOT
true
about
television
by
2050
according
to
this
passage?
A．One
will
be
able
to
smell
the
food
on
television.
B．One
can
have
a
try
of
the
food
you
see
on
television.
C．There
will
be
no
channels
for
us
to
choose
programmes.
D．Televisions
will
be
completely
controlled
by
computers.
答案：B 细节理解题。文章第一段最后一句提及未来人们可以看、闻、触摸电视上的东西，但没有提及可以品尝。故B项表述与文章不符。
9．What
can
be
the
development
of
transport
that
benefits
people
most
by
2050?
A．Cars
will
go
at
very
high
speed
on
their
own.
B．Space
planes
will
fly
all
over
the
world
in
a
short
time.
C．There
will
be
less
pollution
and
no
car
accidents.
D．Computers
will
tell
people
where
they
are
going.
答案：C 细节理解题。文章第二段前两句提及“clean
gas”与“there
won't
be
any
accidents”，因此C项正确。
10．It
can
be
implied
in
the
passage
that
by
2050
________.
A．people
will
live
more
healthily
and
longer
B．computer
will
control
the
speed
of
cars
C．people
can
read
newspapers
through
a
computer
D．there
will
be
no
people
working
in
factories
答案：A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段对2050年时世界医学技术发展情况(medicine
technology
will
have
conquered
many
diseases)的判断可知，未来人们会更健康、更长寿。
11．What
is
the
author's
attitude
towards
people's
life
in
future?
A．Doubtful.
B．Sad.
C．Happy.
D．Worried.
答案：C 推理判断题。作者在叙述未来生活各个领域的变化时，给予了积极评价，如clean,
in
just
two
hours,
prefer,
conquer等词汇的应用，体现了作者积极乐观的态度。因此选C。

【难句分析】 原文：Scientists
will
be
able
to
produce

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国年轻的程序员利用声像识别技术，将垃圾分类的工作变得如拍照或使用智能手机打电话一样容易。
1．that 考查同位语从句的连接词。分析该句结构可知，空格处引导同位语从句，law的同位语，解释说明law的内容，空格处在从句中不充当句子成分，应用that引导该同位语从句。
2．categories 考查名词。category为可数名词，根据该句中的“four”可知，该处用复数形式。
3．be
fined 考查动词的语态。句意：那些没能进行垃圾分类的人可能会被罚高达200元。分析句子结构并根据句意可知，该句主语Those和动词fine之间为被动关系，故用被动语态。
4．worried 考查词性转换。分析该句结构可知，空格处作make的宾语补足语，宾语为many
people，故用形容词worried。
5．a 考查冠词。a
number
of为固定搭配，意为“许多”。该处指“许多年轻的程序员”。
6．or 考查连词。根据语境可知，空格处前后是选择关系。该处表示与拍照片或者使用智能手机打电话一样简单。故用连词or。
7．to 考查介词。apply
...
to
...
为固定搭配，意为“将……应用于……”。该处表示将声像识别技术应用于应用程序和其他智能手机服务。
8．began 考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“last
month”可知，此处陈述的是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。
9．to
identify 考查非谓语动词。该处表示允许用户输入垃圾的名称以识别它属于哪一类，据此可知，此处作目的状语，故用动词不定式。
10．becoming 考查非谓语动词。分析该句结构可知，空格处为the
Chinese的补足语，the
Chinese和动词become为逻辑上的主谓关系，故填现在分词形式becoming。

课时作业
Ⅰ.阅读
(2020·湖北省孝感市第一中学高三月考)Last
week,
two
companies,
Kitty
Hawk
and
Uber,
announced
their
plans
to
bring
flying
cars
to
reality
very
soon.
Kitty
Hawk
president,
Sebastian
Thrun,
announced
Kitty
Hawk's
flying
car
plans
last
Monday.
According
to
its
website,
the
car
is
electric?powered
and
will
be
able
to
travel
at
a
speed
up
to
40
kilometers
an
hour.
It
says
such
a
machine
“does
not
require
registration
or
a
pilot's
license
and
may
be
flown
in
uncrowded
areas
for
recreational
purposes.”
As
of
now,
the
car
can
only
be
flown
over
fresh
water.
Kitty
Hawk
is
making
a
list
of
people
interested
in
buying
the
flying
car.
They
must
pay
a
deposit
of
$100.Those
who
get
their
names
on
the
list
early
will
receive
$2,000
off
the
final
cost
of
the
car.
However,
Kitty
Hawk
has
not
yet
announced
the
price.
Its
first
flying
cars
are
expected
to
go
on
sale
by
the
end
of
this
year.
Unlike
the
Kitty
Hawk
company,
Uber
does
not
plan
to
build
its
flying
cars.
Uber
expects
to
launch
flying
taxis
in
Dallas?Ft.
Worth,
Texas,
US
by
2020.Like
the
Kitty
Hawk
car,
Uber
flying
taxis
will
use
electric
power.
Uber
says
its
flying
taxis
could
travel
up
to
241
kilometers
an
hour.
The
company
says
that
could
reduce
the
travel
time
between
San
Francisco
and
San
Jose,
California
from
2
hours
on
the
road
to
15
minutes
in
the
air.
Riders
could
use
the
Uber
app
to
book
a
flying
taxi
to
take
them
to
their
destinations.
The
company
has
not
yet
said
how
costly
air
taxi
travel
would
be
compared
to
road
taxi
travel.
Sooner
than
you
think,
flying
cars
may
appear
in
the
sky.
Much
convenience
as
they
will
bring,
just
imagine
having
to
avoid
other
flying
cars.
Also,
what
if
your
battery
dies
when
you
are
in
the
air?
And,
how
will
you
know
where
to
land?

says
such
a
machine
‘...
may
be
flown
in
uncrowded
areas
for
recreational
purposes.’”可知，目前该飞行汽车主要用于消遣娱乐。故B项正确。
2．What
do
we
know
about
Kitty
Hawk's
flying
car
from
the
third
paragraph?
A．It
costs
two
thousand
dollars
each.
B．It
can
travel
over
water.
C．It
offers
$100
to
its
potential
buyers.
D．It
hasn't
gone
to
market.
答案：D 推理判断题。由第三段中的最后两句“However,
Kitty
Hawk
has
not
yet
announced
the
price.
Its
first
flying
cars
are
expected
to
go
on
sale
by
the
end
of
this
year.”可知，Kitty
Hawk的飞行汽车还没有定价，预计到今年年底进行销售。由此可以推知，该飞行汽车还没有上市。故D项正确。
3．In
what
way
is
Uber's
flying
taxi
similar
to
Kitty
Hawk's
flying
car?
A．They
travel
at
the
same
speed.
B．They
are
electric?powered.
C．They
are
supported
by
the
Uber
app.
D．They
require
a
flying
license.
答案：B 细节理解题。由第二段中的“...
the
car
is
electric?powered”和第四段中的“Like
the
Kitty
Hawk
car,
Uber
flying
taxis
will
use
electric
power.”可知，它们都是电动的。故B项正确。
4．What
is
the
purpose
of
the
last
paragraph
of
the
text?
A．To
call
for
public
donations.
B．To
introduce
some
advantages.
C．To
promote
interest
in
science.
D．To
talk
about
possible
problems.
答案：D 推理判断题。由最后一段最后三句话，尤其是最后的两个问句可知，该段提出了飞行汽车可能出现的问题。故D项正确。
【词汇积累】 ①recreational
adj.
娱乐的；消遣的
②deposit
n.
订金；押金 ③destination
n.
目的地；终点
【难句分析】 原文：Much
convenience
as
they
will
bring,
just
imagine
having
to
avoid
other
flying
cars.尽管它们会带来很多便利，但想象一下，你不得不避开其他会飞的汽车。(最后一段第二句)
分析：本句为主从复合句。as引导让步状语从句，从句中使用了部分倒装。as表示“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句时，其引导的让步状语从句必须使用倒装句。具体变法是把从句中作状语或者表语的“名词/动词/形容词/副词/分词”提到句首，形成“名词/动词/形容词/副词/分词＋主语＋动词”的倒装结构。

Ⅲ.七选五
(2020·山东省青岛市高三上学期调研)The
UN's
Millennium
Development
Goals
included
the
ambition
that
by

all
the
world's
children
would
complete
primary
school.
This
has
largely
been
achieved:
nine

are
now
enrolled.

Even
though
most
of
the
world's
children
go
to
school,
an

lot
of
them
learn
pretty

According
to
a
recent
World

study
of
seven
sub－Saharan
African
countries,
half
of
nine－year－olds
cannot
read
a
simple
word
and
three－quarters
cannot
read
a
simple

__2__
Several
recent

suggest
education
technology
can
help.
It
seems
to
bring
about
bigger
improvements
in
poor
countries
than
in
rich
ones.
__3__
That
doesn't
mean
buying
computers
for
schools
in
the
hope
that
children
will
understand
how
to
use
them,
a
stupidity
on
which
plenty
of
money
has
been
wasted.
Instead,
it
means
providing
schools
with
software
that
children
can
use
with
minimal
help
from
an
adult.
The
software
gets
things
right
more
often
than
the
teachers
do,
adjusts
itself
to
the
child's
ability,
and
sends
teachers
instructions
about
what
they
are
supposed
to
be
teaching.
__4__
Technology
is
no
panacea
(万灵药).
__5__
And
authorities
need
to
take
teachers
into
account.
But
education
technology
can
help
greatly—by
monitoring
pupils
and
teachers
alike,
assisting
the
best
teachers
and,
most
important,
making
up
for
the
failings
of
the
worst.
A．The
reason
is
terrible
teaching.
B．The
achievements
are
really
great.
C．However,
the
figure
is
not
as
impressive
as
it
sounds.
D．Technology
plays
more
and
more
important
role
in
teaching.
E．Good
traditional
teachers
are
not
outdated,
and
are
never
likely
to
be.
F．Meanwhile
it
allows
the

to
check
on
whether
the

is
in
the

G．Some
of
the

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。科技可以帮助解决贫穷国家学校师资力量薄弱和教师匮乏的问题。
1．C 根据设空处上文可知，联合国千年发展目标中有一项雄心勃勃的计划：到
2015
年，世界上所有适龄儿童都能够完成小学阶段的学习。这个目标大部分已经实现了：九成适龄儿童如今已经入学。根据设空处下文可知尽管世界上大多数适龄儿童都去了学校，他们之中有很多人在那里几乎什么都没学到。C项(然而，这个数字并不像听上去那样令人满意。)承上启下，C项中的this
figure指的是上文中的nine
out
of
ten
children，故选C项。
2．A 根据设空处上文可知，根据世界银行最近针对亚撒哈拉地区中七个国家的一份研究，有一半的九岁孩子连一个简单的单词都不会念，四分之三的孩子读不懂一些简单的句子。A项(原因在于糟糕的教学质量。)解释了为什么会出现这个现象，故选A项。
3．G 由本段中的instead后面的内容可知，G项(因此，一些原本被用在教师身上的稀缺资源可以被更好地用在教育科技上。)引起下文，故选G项。
4．F 根据设空处上文可知，从软件上学到的东西往往准确率比老师教的高，并能够根据孩子的能力自行调整，能够给教师发送提示信息，告诉教师应该教些什么。也就是这一部分是关于软件的好处，连接上文，F项(同时它使得有关部门能够监控教师是否在教室里。)切题。故选F项。
5．E 根据设空处上文“Technology
is
no
panacea
(万灵药)．”可知技术并非万灵药。根据设空处下文“And
authorities
need
to
take
teachers
into
account.”可知，有关部门需要让教师肩负起责任。连接上下文，E项(优秀的传统教师并不会过时，也不可能过时。)切题。故选E项。

[精彩范文]
On
Garbage
Classification
I
am
so
glad
to
have
the
chance
to
join
the
debate.
Now
I
want
to
say
something
about
garbage
classification.
As
we
all
know,
some
people
would
throw
all
waste
like
plastic,
paper
and
glass
into
the
same
public
dustbin,
without
thinking
whether
they
are
recyclable
or
not.
But
garbage
classification
is
very
important.
On
the
one
hand,
without
classifying,
some
waste
will
remain
where
they
were
placed
for
a
long
time.
As
a
result,
it
will
pollute
the
earth.
On
the
other
hand,
waste
is
just
the
misplaced
resources.
We
can
recycle
waste
by
classifying
it
and
making
full
use
of
some
leftovers.
Thus,
garbage
classification
is
meaningful
to
us.
We
can
do
it
just
now.
For
example,
we
can
collect
plastic
bottles
and
sell
them
to
the
waste
shop,
and
throw
used
batteries
into
the
correct
dustbin.
Ⅴ.概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A
bicycle
may
be
seen
by
most
people
as
just
another
vehicle
(交通工具),
but
for
many
Londoners,
cycling
is
a
way
of
life.
According
to
an
official
UK
government
survey,
about
570,000
bike
journeys
are
made
every
day
in
London.
In
fact,
almost
half
of
the
vehicles
that
pass
over
London
Bridge
each
day
are
bikes.
London
introduced
a
public
bike－sharing
system
in
2010.
“There
can
be
no
doubt
that
our
trusty
bicycles
have
changed
the
way
people
get
around
our
great
city，”
Johnson
told
The
Guardian
in
2015.
In
London,
bikes
are
used
for
more
than
just
taking
short
trips
to
and
from
the
subway.
No
matter
where
you
want
to
go
in
the
city,
taking
a
bike
is
usually
the
quickest
and
easiest
option
(选择)．
And
it's
not
just
shared
bikes
that
the
government
is
encouraging
people
to
ride.
In
many
companies
across
the
UK,
the
UK
government's
Cycle
to
Work
scheme
(骑行倡议)
allows
employees
to
buy
a
brand－new
bike
without
having
to
pay
any
tax
(税).
This
means
that
it's
common
to
see
many
people
cycling
to
and
from
work,
and
some
employers
even
provide
workplace
showers
and
lockers
(储物柜)
for
their
workers.
More
importantly,
a
cycle－friendly
boss
may
let
you
off
for
being
late
if
you
ride
a
bike
to
work.
Not
only
is
it
great
for
the
environment
and
our
body,
cycling
is
also
good
for
the
mind.
According
to
National
Geographic
Magazine,
“Bike
riding
can
improve
people's
happiness.”
[精彩范文]
Though
regarded
as
a
transportation
means,
cycling
is
a
way
of
life
for
those
living
in
London.
(要点1)
Without
doubt,
since
the
introduction
of
sharing
bikes
in
2010,
the
way
to
travel
around
London
has
changed.
(要点2)
Usually,
riding
bikes
is
the
most
convenient.
(要点3)
In
addition
to
the
government's
encouragement,
employees
can
buy
new
bikes
without
paying
taxes,
making
the
number
of
riders
increase.
(要点4)
Above
all,
riding
bikes
is
beneficial
to
both
the
environment
and
our
mental
and
physical
health.

A
(2020·甘肃省会宁一中高三第一次月考)The
word
“OK”
is
the
most
frequently
spoken
all?purpose
expression
on
the
planet—and
it's
turning
176
years
old
on
March
23,
2015.
The
term
was
born
during
a
19th?century
abbreviation
(缩写)
craze
and
went
on
to
international
fame
with
its
own
hand
gesture.
Last
year,
Henry
Nass,
a
64?year?old
retired
English
teacher,
a
New
Yorker,
had
spent
the
last
few
weeks
handing
out
cards
championing
“Global
OK
Day”
in
advance
of
the
coming
anniversary.
“No
matter
where
people
are
from
they
use
the
word
‘OK’，
but
they
don't
know
where
it
comes
from，”
says
Nass.
“The
problem
is
because
it's
just,
you
know,
OK.”
The
word
is
OK,
perhaps,
but
its
history
is
definitely
better
than
average.
Late
etymologist
Allen
Walker
Read
traced
the
two?letter
word
to
1839,
when
editors
at
the
Boston
Morning
Post
signed
off
on
articles
as
“all
correct”
with
a
simple
word
“OK”．
The
word
made
it
into
print
on
March
23
of
that
year,
in
an
article
against
a
rival
editor
in
Providence
who
had
stated
wrongly
that
a
band
of
Bostonians
heading
to
New
York
would
pass
through
the
Rhode
Island
capital.
“We
said
not
a
word
about
our
team
passing
‘through
the
city’
of
Providence，”
the
Morning
Post
reported.
“O.K.—all
correct.”
The
humor
of
the
Providence?Boston
joke
has
been
lost
to
history—but
the
word
OK
took_off
from
there,
soon
connoting
(隐含)
agreement,
acceptance,
averageness,
quality
or
likability.
By
1840,
it
served
as
a
slogan
for
President
Martin
Van
Buren's
unsuccessful
reelection
campaign.
“Old
Kinderhook
is
OK，”
posters
stated,
a
reference
to
the
eighth
president's
birthplace
and
his
supporters'
belief
in
his
satisfactory
performance.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章就“OK”这个词的历史进行展开，介绍了它的来源及发展史。
1．Why
did
Henry
Nass
hand
out
cards?
A．To
let
people
understand
the
history
of
the
word
“OK”．
B．To
call
on
people
to
use
the
word
“OK”
properly.
C．To
appeal
to
people
to
celebrate
OK
Day.
D．To
attract
people's
attention.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“a
New
Yorker,
had
spent
the
last
few
weeks
handing
out
cards
championing
‘Global
OK
Day’
in
advance
of
the
coming
anniversary”可知，他分发卡片是支持“全球OK日”，是为了呼吁人们庆祝这个节日。故选C。
2．What
does
the
author
want
to
convey
in
Paragraph
4?
A．The
history
of
the
word
“OK”
is
known
to
average
people.
B．The
history
of
the
word
“OK”
is
unfamiliar
to
people.
C．People
frequently
use
the
word
“OK”
in
history.
D．People
are
fond
of
the
word
“OK”
in
history.
答案：B 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“The
word
is
OK,
perhaps,
but
its
history
is
definitely
better
than
average.”可知，“OK”这个词可能很普及，但是它的历史绝对不够普及，由此推知“OK”这个词的历史对人们来说是陌生的。
故选B。
3．What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“took
off”
in
Paragraph
7
probably
mean?
A．Got
off.
B．Set
up.
C．Moved
off.
D．Became
popular.
答案：D 词义猜测题。根据第七段“The
humor
of
the
Providence?Boston
joke
has
been
lost
to
history—but
the
word
OK
took_off
from
there,
soon
connoting
(隐含)
agreement,
acceptance,
averageness,
quality
or
likability.”可知，关于Providence－Boston的笑话已经是过去的历史了，但是“OK”这个词从此风靡，很快就包含了同意、接受、普通、优质的和可爱的意思，即“OK”这个词变得受欢迎。故选D。
4．We
can
learn
from
the
text
that
Kinderhook
is
________
of
the
eighth
American
president.
A．the
name
B．the
birthplace
C．the
policy
D．the
belief
答案：B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“‘Old
Kinderhook
is
OK，’
posters
stated,
a
reference
to
the
eighth
president's
birthplace
and
his
supporters'
belief
in
his
satisfactory
performance.”可知，Kinderhook是第八任总统的出生地。故选B。

B
In
England
recently
three
foreign
gentlemen
came
to
a
bus
stop
and
waited.
About
five
minutes
later,
the
bus
they
wanted
came
along.
They
were
just
going
to
get
on
when
suddenly
there
was
a
loud
noise
behind
them.
People
rushed
onto
the
bus
and
tried
to
push
them
out
of
the
way.
Someone
shouted
at
them.
The
bus
conductor
came
rushing
down
the
stairs
to
see
what
all
the
trouble
was
about.
The
three
foreigners
seemed
all
at_sea
and
looked
embarrassed.
No
one
had
told
them
about
the
British
custom
of
lining
up
for
a
bus
that
the
first
person
who
arrives
at
the
bus
stop
is
the
first
person
to
get
on
the
bus.
Learning
the
language
of
a
country
isn't
enough.
If
you
want
to
have
a
pleasant
visit,
find
out
as
much
as
possible
about
the
manners
and
customs
of
your
host
country.
You
will
probably
be
surprised
just
how
different
they
can
be
from
your
own.
A
visitor
to
India
would
do
well
to
remember
that
people
there
consider
it
impolite
to
use
the
left
hand
for
passing
food
at
table.
The
left
hand
is
supposed
to
be
used
for
washing
yourself.
Also
in
India,
you
might
see
a
man
shaking
his
head
at
another
to
show
that
he
doesn't
agree.
But
in
many
parts
of
India
a
shake
of
the
head
means
agreement.
Nodding
your
head
when
you
are
given
a
drink
in
Bulgaria
will
most
probably
leave
you
thirsty.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章以一个小故事作为开头，向我们介绍了英国人的乘车习惯，并进一步向我们介绍了不同国家肢体语言的内涵。
5．The
British
people
tried
to
push
the
three
gentlemen
out
of
the
way,
because
the
gentlemen
________.
A．were
foreigners
B．didn't
have
tickets
C．made
a
loud
noise
D．didn't
line
up
for
the
bus
答案：D 细节理解题。由第一段尾句“No
one
had
told
them
about
the
British
custom
of
lining
up
for
a
bus
that
...
on
the
bus.”可知，英国人因为这三位外国人没有排队而将他们推到一边。
6．According
to
the
article,
if
you
want
to
have
a
pleasant
journey
in
a
foreign
country,
you
should
________.
A．learn
the
language
of
the
country
B．understand
the
manners
and
customs
of
the
country
C．have
enough
time
and
money
D．make
friends
with
the
people
there
答案：B 细节理解题。由第二段第二句“If
you
want
to
have
a
pleasant
...
your
host
country.”可知，当我们到国外旅行时，应该对目标国的风俗习惯有所了解。
7．What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“at
sea”
probably
mean?
A．Tired.
B．Disappointed.
C．Pleased.
D．Confused.
答案：D 词义猜测题。根据画线短语后的“and
looked
embarrassed”可知，这三位外国人对英国的风俗并不知情，由此可知，当他们面对英国人当时的反应时会感到迷惑。
8．In
India
it
is
considered
impolite
to
________.
A．use
the
right
hand
for
passing
food
at
table
B．pass
food
with
the
left
hand
C．eat
food
with
your
hands
D．help
yourself
at
table
答案：B 细节理解题。由第二段第四句“A
visitor
to
India
would
do
well
...
left
hand
for
passing
food
at
table.”可知，在印度用左手递食物被认为是不礼貌的。

C
(2020·四川省棠湖中学高三期中考试)I
was
in
the
seventh
grade,
and
we
had
moved
to
New
Jersey
in
November.
By
then,
everyone
already
had
had
their
own
friends,
and
no
one
wanted
to
talk
to
a
new
girl.
To
make
things
worse,
they
put
me
in
“Section
L”.
I
found
out
later
that
everyone
called
Section
L
“Loserville”.
It
was
sort
of
an
open
secret
that
it
was
the
section
for
troublemakers
and
not－so－smart
kids.
When
I
found
out,
I
wanted
to
scream.
I
had
always
been
a
good
student
and
had
amazing
friends,
and
now
everyone
thought
I
was
a
loser!
I
did
text
my
friends
in
Illinois
almost
every
night,
especially
my
best
friend,
Ana.
At
first
my
friends
wanted
to
hear
all
about
it.
But
then
some
stopped
texting
back
once
I
said
something
about
how
miserable
I
was.
One
night
when
I
was
texting
with
Ana,
I
complained
about
another
friend
who
had
just
done
that.
Ana's
texts
came
really
fast
for
the
next
few
minutes
and
they
surprised
me.
She
said
that
she
was
tired
of
hearing
about
how
bad
everything
was
in
New
Jersey,
too.
She
said
she
did
not
want
to
hurt
my
feelings
but
that
I
needed
to
stop
feeling
so
sorry
for
myself
all
the
time,
I
had
to
try
to
make
things
better.
The
next
day,
I
thought
a
lot
about
what
Ana
had
said.
She
was
right!
I
wish
I
could
say
that
everything
changed
overnight
after
that,
but
it
didn't.
I
was
still
stuck
in
“Loserville”，
and
some
people
were
still
mean
to
me,
even
though
I
tried
to
just
stay
out
of
their
way.
But
what
did
change
was
me—I
stopped
feeling
so
sorry
for
myself
and
did
something
about
making
friends.
I
signed
up
to
make
sets
for
the
school
play.
I
met
a
lot
of
new
people
there,
and
suddenly
I
had
friends
to
say
hi
to
in
the
halls!
I
still
miss
Illinois
sometimes,
but
life
in
New
Jersey
isn't
so
hard
anymore.
Even
though
I
couldn't
change
my
situation,
I
could
change
my
attitude—and
that
made
all
the
difference.

master。
2．growth 考查词性转换。the＋名词＋of
...
“……的……”。故填growth。
3．what 考查表语从句的连接词。分析句子结构可知，is后接表语从句。在表语从句中，关系词作speak的宾语，指物。故填what。
4．in 考查介词。be
fluent
in
“在……方面流利”为固定短语。故填in。
5．the 考查冠词。that

“情况不是这样”为固定短语。故填the。
6．whose 考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，teachers
为先行词，引导词在后面的定语从句中作定语，所以关系代词为whose。故填whose。
7．more 考查副词的比较级。由“than”和句意可知，空处应填much的比较级more。故填more。
8．did 考查动词的时态。由“last
month”可知，本句用一般过去时。所以空处填did。
9．necessarily 考查词性转换。necessarily为副词修饰整个句子。故填necessarily。
10．losing 考查非谓语动词。of为介词，后接动名词作宾语。故填losing。

to
be
sold
on
the
market
soon.

and
even
recall
the
behavior
that

tricks,
take
photographs,
and
over

Ⅲ.七选五
(2020·全国新高三开学联考)In
American
history,
Benjamin
Franklin
was
famous
for
his
proverbs.
Franklin
lived
in
the
1700s.
He
was
a
leader
of
the
American
Revolution
against
English
rule.
He
was
also
a
scientist,
inventor
and
writer.
For
many
years,
Franklin
published
a
book
called
“Poor
Richard's
Almanac”.
He
included
many
proverbs
that
he
had
heard
or
created.
__1__
Like
this
one：“Early
to
bed
and
early
to
rise
makes
a
man
healthy,
wealthy
and
wise.”
Franklin
is
also
remembered
for
other
proverbs
like,
“A
penny
saved
is
a
penny
earned.”
__2__
Here
are
other
examples
of
proverbs
that
Americans
use.
__3__
Some
people
say,
“All
is
fair
in
love
and
war.”
They
mean
that
anything
you
do
in
a
relationship
or
in
battle
is
acceptable.
__4__
In
other
words,
when
you
are
in
love
with
someone,
you
may
refuse
to
see
anything
bad
about
that
person.
Some
people
are
only
interested
in
having
a
relationship
with
someone
who
is
very
good?looking.
You
might
tell
them
that
“Beauty
is
only
skin
deep.”
Your
girlfriend
may
be
lovely
to
look
at,
but
she
may
also
have
some
bad
qualities.
__5__
Your
boyfriend
is
a
wonderful
person,
but
not
good?looking.
So
what
a
person
looks
like
is
not
really
important.
Another
proverb
is
true
in
love
and
war
or
other
situations:
“Actions
speak
louder
than
words.”
It
means
that
what
you
do
is
more
important
than
what
you
say.
A．Or
the
opposite
may
be
true.
B．The
first
ones
are
about
love.
C．Some
of
them
are
still
used
today.
D．Another
proverb
says
“Love
is
blind.”
E．A
proverb
is
a
short,
well
known
saying.
F．This
means
that
money
should
not
be
wasted.
G．Another
proverb
about
love
is,
“Absence
makes
the
heart
grow
fonder.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了本杰明·富兰克林的几条名言。
1．C 空格前提到富兰克林的书中包括许多名言，空格后具体举例，由此可知，空格处应填一个过渡句，C项“有些(名言)沿用至今。”符合语境。
2．F 空格处是对前面一句名言“A
penny
saved
is
a
penny
earned.
(省钱就是赚钱。)”的解释说明，故选F。
3．B 根据空格后列举的几个关于爱情的名言可知，选项B
“The
first
ones
are
about
love.”引起下文，符合语境。
4．D 根据空格后“换句话说，当你爱上一个人时，你会拒绝看这个人的缺点”的内容可知，选项D
“另一句名言说‘爱情是盲目的。’”符合语境。
5．A 空格前后是相反的内容，故空格处应选“Or
the
opposite
may
be
true.”，A项正确。

Dear
Joe，
I'm
so
glad
to
hear
from
you
again
after
so
many
days.
In
your
letter,
you
say
you
are
curious
about
the
“toilet
revolution”
in
China,
so
I'd
like
to
cast
some
light
on
it.
The
so?called
“toilet
revolution”
is
a
term
used
to
refer
to
some
measures
carried
out
in
rural
areas
to
transform
the
toilets.
You
may
not
have
a
clear
concept
about
the
structure
and
design
of
these
toilets.
The
fact
is
that
most
of
them
are
unscientific.
With
the
development
in
China,
our
government
has
begun
to
attach
significance
to
the
environment
and
the
well?being
of
the
people.
We
realize
the
toilet
is
a
symbol
of
civilization
and
a
key
factor
to
the
beauty
of
the
rural
areas.
Consequently,
we
are
making
a
great
change
in
the
design
of
the
toilets.
For
instance,
we
focus
on
how
to
drain
away
waste
water
into
some
centralized
places
and
then
we
deal
with
the
water
in
case
it
will
flow
at
random.
Hopefully
my
letter
may
clarify
your
puzzlement.
Yours，
Li
Hua

(2020·浙江省金丽衢十二校高三第一次联考)
Rescue
Dawn
came
slowly.
A
shaft
of
sunlight
reached
into
the
4－meter－deep
crater
(弹坑),
making
the
metal
of
the
bomb
shine.
The
boys
were
numb
and
tight,
and
hungry.
They
tried
not
to
look
at
the
huge
shape
of
the
bomb
that
appeared
over
them.
Harry
suddenly
opened
his
eyes
and
seized
Jack's
arm
“Listen！”
he
whispered.
Jack's
eyes
widened
instantly,
and
both
boys
strained
their
ears.
They
could
hear
a
man
talking
softly.
The
voice
seemed
a
long
way
off.
Jack
went
to
shout,
but
Harry
clamped
his
hand
over
Jack's
mouth.
“Don't
shout，”
he
hissed
(发出嘘声),
“We'll
be
blown
into
pieces.”
The
soft
voice
came
nearer
and
nearer.
Suddenly,
an
army
captain
appeared
at
the
top
of
crater.
He
was
talking
to
a
mouthpiece
(话筒)
around
his
neck.
He
stopped
talking
when
he
saw
the
boys.
“What
the
...”
he
said,
“Who
are
you？”
Harry
found
his
voice,
“Jack
and
Harry
Brown.”
“Is
that
dog
dead？”
asked
the
captain.
“No,
he's
sleeping，”
said
Harry.
The
captain
spoke
into
the
mouthpiece
again,
“Sergeant
(中士)，”
he
said,
stopped
and
took
a
breath
before
he
went
on.
“There
are
two
kids
and
a
dog
down
here.”
Then
the
captain
crouched
down
and
stared
closely
at
the
bomb.
“Don't
move
and
don't
speak，”
he
said,
“or
we'll
all
go
up.”
He
began
talking
quietly
to
his
sergeant.
Jack
and
Harry
were
too
stiff
to
move.
They
held
Raf,
the
dog,
tightly
and
waited.
Another
man
appeared
at
the
top
of
the
crater.
“I
thought
so，”
he
said,
“It's
them
all
right.”
“It's
Old
Tin
Hat！”
whispered
Jack.
Old
Tin
Hat
was
carrying
a
ladder.
He
and
the
captain
lowered
the
ladder
into
the
loose
earth
next
to
the
two
boys.
“Keep
still，”
the
captain
warned
them.
As
the
captain
held
on
at
the
top,
Old
Tin
Hat
started
to
come
down
the
ladder
very
slowly,
very
gently,
step
by
step.
At
last,
he
reached
the
bottom,
and
with
one
movement,
he
lifted
Jack
on
his
back.
Harry
watched
as
Jack
was
carried
up.
It
seemed
to
take
an
age.
With
a
sudden
fall
of
earth,
Old
Tin
Hat
froze
halfway
up.
Old
Tin
Hat
pulled
Harry
onto
his
back,
carrying
Raf
under
his
arm.

[精彩范文]
With
a
sudden
fall
of
earth,
Old
Tin
Hat
froze
halfway
up.
Harry
gasped
with
terror
but
luckily
the
ladder
was
steady.
Old
Tin
Hat
started
up
again.
No
sooner
had
he
got
to
the
top
than
hands
reached
out
and
Jack
disappeared.
Again
down
the
ladder
came
Old
Tin
Hat,
gently
and
cautiously.
Eventually,
he
joined
Harry
and
Raf.
Though
he
suggested
that
dog
went
last,
Harry
insisted
that
they
would
be
together.
Old
Tin
Hat
pulled
Harry
onto
his
back,
carrying
Raf
under
his
arm.
Old
Tin
Hat
started
to
climb
the
ladder
for
the
second
time.
The
weight
of
the
boy
and
the
dog
made
him
gasp.
With
great
efforts,
they
came
to
the
top
of

crater.
Everybody
was

A

cheer
rose
from

off.
A

tightly.
Later,

was
taken
away,

B
(2020·石家庄市重点高中高三毕业班摸底考试)I
can
proudly
say
that
last
year
I
broke
the
record
for
the
oldest
person
in
the
world
to
ride
a
roller
coaster.
I'm
105,
but
I
feel
younger.
Even
the
doctor
agrees
I'm
in
good
condition.
I'm
a
bit
deaf
and
my
legs
feel
weak,
but
they
are
the
only
issue.
I
rode
the
Twistosaurus
at
Flamingo
Land,
which
spins
you
round
quite
fast.
I
didn't
choose
to
go
on
that.
I'd
have
preferred
a
really
fast
one
that
went
upside
down.
But
I
was
told
I
couldn't
ride
something
like
that,
because
it
would
affect
my
blood
pressure
and
I
might
have
some
danger.
I
wasn't
nervous—I
don't
get
frightened
of
anything.
I
was
securely
fastened,
so
I
knew
I
wouldn't
fall
out!
The
roller
coaster
ride
went
on
for
three
or
four
minutes,
and
it
couldn't
be
a
better
experience.
And
I
raised
a
lot
of
money
for
the
Derbyshire,
Leicestershire
&
Rutland
Air
Ambulance
fund,
which
was
fantastic.
People
were
saying
I'd
got
a
place
in
the
Guinness
World
Records.
Later,
someone
came
to
present
me
with
the
certificate.
I
had
it
on
the
wall
in
my
living
room,
with
another
one
I
got
a
year
earlier.
My
record－breaking
ways
really
began
a
couple
of
years
ago,
with
the
ice
bucket
challenge.
It
turned
out
that
I
was
probably
the
oldest
person
in
the
world
to
do
it,
and
the
video
was
very
popular.
After
that,
I
started
to
think
about
what
else
I
could
do
to
raise
money
for
different
charities.
I'm
not
sure
if
anyone
admires
all
the
fun
I'm
having.
They
just
say
I'm
daft
and
that's
about
it.
But
I've
had
many
good
days
and
many
exciting
times.
I've
had
a
really
good
life.
I
don't
think
I've
wasted
any
of
it.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了世界上玩过山车年龄最大的老人的经历。他已经105岁，获得了吉尼斯世界纪录证书；此外，他还参加过“冰桶挑战”，为慈善组织募捐。他认为自己没有浪费人生，过得很充实。
4．Why
didn't
the
author
choose
to
go
on
riding
the
Twistosaurus?
A．Because
he
was
told
not
to
do
so.
B．Because
he
considered
it
too
gentle.
C．Because
he
thought
it
spun
too
fast.
D．Because
he
was
in
a
bad
physical
condition.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句“I
didn't
choose
to
go
on
that.
I'd
have
preferred
a
really
fast
one
that
went
upside
down.”可知，作者没有选择坐Twistosaurus，是因为他想要真正的快速翻转的过山车，即他认为Twistosaurus太过平缓，故B项正确。
5．How
did
the
author
most
probably
react
while
riding
the
roller
coaster?
A．He
really
enjoyed
himself.
B．He
was
very
worried
at
first.
C．He
couldn't
think
much
about
it.
D．He
got
frightened
as
it
started
moving.
答案：A 推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“The
roller
coaster
ride
went
on
for
three
or
four
minutes,
and
it
couldn't
be
a
better
experience.”可知，乘坐过山车持续三到四分钟，作者认为这是一次再好不过的经历了。据此可推知，作者在坐过山车时很享受，故A项正确。
6．What
do
you
know
about
the
author
from
Paragraph
4?
A．He
was
eager
to
get
certificates.
B．He
disliked
showing
off
his
success.
C．He
was
the
oldest
person
in
the
world.
D．He
set
a
record
the
year
before
last
year.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“last
year”和第四段的内容，尤其是末句“I
had
it
on
the
wall
in
my
living
room,
with
another
one
I
got
a
year
earlier.”可知，去年作者把这张吉尼斯世界纪录证书挂在客厅的墙上，还有一张是一年前挂的。据此可知，作者在前年也创造了一项纪录。
7．Which
word
can
best
describe
the
author?
A．Cooperative.
B．Optimistic.
C．Generous.
D．Intelligent.
答案：B 推理判断题。根据尾段最后三句“But
I've
had
many
good
days
and
many
exciting
times.
I've
had
a
really
good
life.
I
don't
think
I've
wasted
any
of
it.”并结合文章描述的作者105岁还创造吉尼斯世界纪录可知，作者认为自己有过许多美好的日子和许多激动人心的时刻，他过得很好，没有浪费人生。据此可推知，作者是一个乐观的人，故B项正确。

C
(2020·全国百校联盟高三TOP300尖子生联考)I
had
just
graduated
and
was
taking
a
few
weeks
off.
The
three
weeks
between
graduation
and
work
was
fun;
I'm
glad
I
took
time
to
relax
and
get
things
in
order
before
taking
the
next
step.
Many
of
my
classmates
may
have
felt
the
real
world
came
too
early,
but
I
was
anxious
to
start
my
professional
career.
There
have
been
a
lot
of
changes
since
graduation.
I
have
a
new
job
and
a
new
home
in
a
new
city.
I
took
a
job
with
Pipestone
Veterinary
Services
in
Independence.
There
have
certainly
been
some
growing
pains,
but
overall
things
have
been
going
well.
Pipestone
is
a
large
group
with
clinics
in
five
locations
in
four
states.
Because
of
this,
there
are
a
lot
of
people
involved
whom
I
do
not
see
on
a
regular
basis.
Spending
time
in
Pipestone,
Minnesota,
where
the
headquarters
are
located,
has
been
really
helpful
in
getting
to
know
the
staff.
I've
also
gotten
used
to
all
the
emails
and
understanding
the
information
I
receive
each
week.
As
the
new
vet,
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
my
own
clients
so
I
am
getting
most
of
my
work
from
the
other
vets.
I
have
taken
over
the
veterinary
(兽医的)
services
for
two
farms
near
Independence.
It's
great
having
more
responsibilities
and
regular
scheduled
work.
Several
people
have
asked
me
if
I
miss
school.
I
can
say
with
absolute
certainty
that
I
do
not
miss
sitting
in
class,
studying
for
hours
on
end,
taking
exams,
etc.
but
I
do
miss
some
aspects.
I
was
fortunate
to
have
some
incredible
professors
whom
I
benefited
from
greatly.
I
also
made
some
amazing
friends
whom
I
miss
a
lot.
Veterinary
school
was
difficult,
but
there
were
some
great
times
and
I
am
thankful
for
all
the
experiences
I
had
at
Iowa
State.
8．What
did
the
author
do
during
the
three
weeks
off?
A．Relaxed
and
made
preparations
for
the
future.
B．Spent
the
precious
time
outside
school
for
fun.
C．Worked
to
get
experience
for
the
future
career.
D．Travelled
around
the
country
with
some
classmates.
答案：A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“I
had
just
graduated
and
was
taking
a
few
weeks
off.
The
three
weeks
between
graduation
and
work
was
fun;
I'm
glad
I
took
time
to
relax
and
get
things
in
order
before
taking
the
next
step.”可知，作者在这三个星期进行了放松，并把以后的事情安排得井井有条，A.

have
been
going
well.”和第三段中的“I've

篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了另一种旅游形式——贫困之旅。人们在世界上最贫穷的地区进行旅游，这些旅行可能会使人们更多地关注长期存在的贫困和战争的影响。
1．especially 考查词性转换。此处是副词修饰when引导的时间状语从句，故答案为especially。
2．travelling/traveling 考查非谓语动词。句意：很多人冲出家门或公司去旅游景点。此处是动名词作定语，修饰spots，故答案为travelling/traveling。
3．and 考查连词。固定结构：and
so
on等等。故答案为and。
4．is 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处是there
be句型，句子主语是another
way
of
travelling，故谓语动词应用单数第三人称形式，并且介绍的是一般情况，故用一般现在时，故答案为is。
5．the 考查定冠词。此处是形容词最高级，前面用定冠词the，故答案为the。
6．to
experience 考查非谓语动词。句意：有些人可能会参加为期一天的“最贫困之旅”，有些人甚至花钱住在非常贫困的社区，体验世界上最低的生活水平。此处是动词不定式作目的状语，故答案为to
experience。
7．countries 考查名词。第三世界的国家不止一个，所以名词用复数形式，故答案为countries。
8．more 考查形容词的比较级。句意：这些旅行可能会唤醒人们更多地关注长期存在的贫困和战争的影响。结合句意可知，句子用比较级，故答案为more。
9．be
donated 考查含情态动词的被动语态。句意：旅游所得的钱可以捐赠给生活在那里的人们。此处money和donate之间是被动关系，can已经给出，故答案为be
donated。
10．who/that 考查定语从句的引导词。此处people是先行词，指人，引导词在后面的定语从句中作主语，故答案为who/that。

课时作业
Ⅰ.阅读
(2020·山东省德州市武城五中高三月考)A
living
tortoise
of
its
kind
not
seen
in
more
than
110
years
and
feared
to
be
extinct
(灭绝的)
has
been
found
in
a
remote
part
of
the
Galapagos
islands
of
Fernandina.
An
adult
female
Fernandina
tortoise
was
spotted
Sunday
by
a
joint
team
of
the
Galapagos
National
Park
and
the
US?based
Galapagos
Conservancy.
Researchers
think
there
may
be
more
members
of
the
tortoise
on
the
island
because
of
the
droppings
and
tracks
they
found.
The
team
took
the
tortoise,
likely
more
than
110
years
old,
to
a
breeding
(繁殖)
center
for
rare
tortoises
where
it
will
stay
in
a
specially
designed
fence.
The
only
other
living
member
of
the
tortoise
was
found
in
1906.
Since
then,
researchers
have
come
across
tortoise
tracks
and
bite
marks
on
plants,
and
there
was
a
possible
unconfirmed
sighting
in
2009.
But
Sunday's
discovery
was
the
first
confirmed
sighting
and
together
with
the
possibility,
of
finding
more
members
of
this
kind
has
raised
the
possibility
of
breeding.
Fernandina
is
the
third
largest
Galapagos
island
and
is
famous
for
the
La
Cumbre
volcano,
one
of
the
most
active
in
the
world.
The
island
lies
in
the
Pacific
Ocean
about
1,000
kilometers
off
Ecuador's
mainland.
In
listing
the
Fernandina
tortoise
as
possibly
extinct,
the
conservation
group
said
on
its
website
that
this
kind
of
tortoise
may
have
submitted
to
“the
frequent
volcanic
lava
(岩浆)
flows
that
nearly
cover
the
island.”
The
Galapagos
islands
host
unique
wildlife
whose
characteristics
helped
Charles
Darwin
develop
his
theory
of
evolution.
It
was
declared
a
UNESCO
World
Heritage
site
in
1979.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在菲尔南迪娜岛上发现销声匿迹了110多年、人们担心其灭绝的活体乌龟。这一新的发现大大增加了这种珍稀乌龟繁殖的几率。
1．How
many
Fernandina
tortoises
are
sure
to
be
living
according
to
the
passage?
A．One.
B．Two.
C．Three.
D．One
thousand.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中“The
only
other
living
member”可知，现在已知存活的菲尔南迪娜乌龟只有两只。
2．What
is
important
about
the
new
discovery
of
the
living
Fernandina
tortoise?
A．Improving
the
chance
for
breeding.
B．Confirming
the
theory
of
evolution.
C．Showing
its
adaptation
to
volcanic
lava.
D．Finding
more
living
members
of
its
kind.
答案：A 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中“has
raised
the
possibility
of
breeding”可知，发现菲尔南迪娜乌龟活体增加了繁育的可能性。
3．Which
of
the
following
caused
the
Fernandina
tortoise
to
die
out?
A．Living
on
the
remote
islands.
B．Hunting
of
the
human
beings.
C．Living
in
the
bad
environment.
D．Staying
in
specially
designed
fences.
答案：C 推理判断题。根据第四段特别是最后一句可知，菲尔南迪娜乌龟生存的海岛上有活火山，岩浆差不多覆盖了整个海岛，乌龟已经屈从于这样的环境。由此判断，恶劣的生存环境导致了过去一百多年菲尔南迪娜乌龟的消亡。
4．What
can
be
a
suitable
title
for
the
Text?
A．Proper
Place
to
Host
Unique
Wildlife
B．Evidence
to
Prove
Survival
of
the
Fittest
C．Rare
Tortoise
Found
on
Fernandina
Island
D．Possibility
of
Breeding
Fernandina
Tortoise
答案：C 标题判断题。本文主要介绍了一项新的发现，即在菲尔南迪娜岛上发现销声匿迹了110多年、人们担心灭绝的活体乌龟。C项“菲尔南迪娜岛上发现了珍稀乌龟”符合题意。

Ⅲ.七选五
(2020·河南省高三阶段性考试(三))Given
the
high
price
of
housing,
many
of
us
are
living
in
smaller
spaces
than
we'd
like.
However,
living
in
small
spaces
is
not
that
bad;
it
has
some
advantages.
They're
cheaper
to
decorate.
It
can
take
thousands
of
dollars
worth
of
decoration
simply
to
make
a
large
space
look
inviting.
__1__
Instead
of
many
pieces
of
large,
expensive
furniture,
you
only
need
a
few
to
make
your
style.
You'll
have
plenty
of
money
left
for
other
things.
They're
easier
to
clean.
This
must
be
one
of
your
favorite
things
about
living
in
a
small
space.
The
bigger
the
space,
the
longer
it
takes
to
organize
and
tidy
up.
__2__
That's
why
small
spaces
are
welcomed
by
those
who
like
being
surrounded
by
order
and
cleanliness
and
don't
want
to
spend
a
ton
of
time
and
energy
in
keeping
them
that
way.
__3__
It
takes
a
lot
to
pay
for
heating,
cooling
and
electricity,
which
can
also
cost
much
energy.
When
you
compare
the
electricity
bill
of
someone
living
in
500
square
feet
with
that
of
someone
living
in
3,000
square
feet,
the
difference
can
be
great.
We
use
less
energy
and
produce
less
waste
when
we
live
in
small
spaces.
__4__
They're
easier
to
personalize.
Ever
have
you
walked
into
a
large
home
that
feels
more
like
a
museum
than
the
small
home
of
someone
you
know?
It's
usually
not
the
most
familiar
or
welcoming
atmosphere.
__5__
It
is
much
easier
to
decorate
a
small
home
in
your
own
style.
A．They're
more
organized
and
comfortable.
B．No
one
wants
to
spend
hours
just
cleaning.
C．Living
in
small
homes
makes
your
life
in
a
mess.
D．They're
financially
and
environmentally
friendly.
E．So
it
also
does
good
to
our
beloved
Mother
Nature.
F．Actually,
you
want
your
home
to
show
your
personal
style.
G．Small
spaces,
however,
make
decorating
more
simple
and

NASA
Discovers
Seven
Exoplanets
When
people
think
of
aliens
and
living
beings
on
other
planets,
they
think
of
sci－fi
movies
and
fiction
and
fantasy
books.
However,
recently,
NASA
has
discovered
a
new
solar
system
only
40
light
years
away
that
has
seven
exoplanets,
and
that
just
might
have
life!
An
exoplanet
is
defined
as
any
planet
that
is
not
part
of
our
solar
system.
These
newly－discovered
seven
planets
orbit
the
dwarf
star
TRAPPIST－1.
A
star
is
a
massive,
bright
ball
of
energy
held
together
by
its
own
gravity.
Stars
can
be
divided
into
two
distinct
groups:
giants,
which
are
brighter
than
the
sun;
and
dwarfs
which
are
fainter
stars,
including
Sun.
There
are
six
types
of
dwarf
stars:
red,
yellow,
blue,
white,
black
and
brown—our
Sun
is
a
yellow
dwarf.
TRAPPIST－1,
discovered
in
1999,
is
a
red
dwarf
and
they
tend
to
be
small,
cool
stars
with
temperatures
under
4,000
Kelvin.
How
are
planets
orbiting
these
distant
stars
discovered?
Astronomers
point
a
telescope
at
the
star
to
continuously
monitor
the
intensity
of
light
coming
from
it.
If
there
is
a
dip
in
the
light
and
it
happens
at
regular
intervals,
there
is
a
good
chance
that
a
planet
is
orbiting
around
it.
By
measuring
how
long
it
takes
planets
to
pass
in
front
of
the
star,
how
much
light
it
blocks,
and
how
often
they
orbit,
scientists
can
calculate
the
masses
of
these
planets
and
their
distance
from
the
star.
This
latest
discovery
is
the
largest
number
of
exoplanets
found
at
any
one
time.
This
new
solar
system
is
so
tiny
that
all
seven
planets
are
as
close
to
TRAPPIST－1
as
Mercury
is
to
the
sun!
Furthermore,
while
it
takes
Mercury
88
days
to
go
around
the
sun,
it
takes
the
outermost
exoplanet
only
20
days
to
orbit
the
star
TRAPPIST－1.
Also,
since
TRAPPIST－1
is
a
cool
star,
liquid
water
could
exist
on
any
of
the
seven
planets.
Scientists
have
been
focusing
on
the
three
exoplanets
in
the
habitable
zone
which
are
most
conducive
to
life.
Planet
E
even
gets
the
same
amount
of
starlight
and
is
the
same
size
as
Earth.
Due
to
tbeir
density,
all
the
planets
would
most
likely
be
rocky.
Also,
the
planets
are
so
close
to
each
other
that
if
you
were
standing
on
one,
you
would
be
able
to
see
a
wonderful,
up－close
look
at
the
other
planets!

The
text
centers
on
the
discovery
of
a
new
solar
system
with
seven
exoplanets.
(要点1)
Stars
are
divided
into
giants
and
dwarfs;
the
latter
are
classified
into
six
types
according
to
their
color.
(要点2)
Astronomers
use
a
method
to
judge
planets
orbiting
the
distant
stars,
or
calculate
their
masses
and
distance
from
the
star.
(要点3)
All
the
seven
rocky
planets
circle
the
dwarf
TRAPPIST－1
closely
in
at
most
20
days,
which
makes
it
possible
for
life
to
survive
on
them,
for
there
is
likely
water
on
the
rocky
surface.
