(2020·鄭州質(zhì)量預(yù)測)Four teenage girls from Minnesota, US. 120 hours of nonstop togetherness. No cellphones. This is not a reality show, but an adventure journey.
“It was really perfect,” said Julia Ruelle of her recent adventure to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with three of her childhood friends. “By unplugging, we had an amazing time.”
Last year, the 16-year-old took part in an essay contest and carried off a prize. The award was a 5-day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there. So Julia invited her friends Anna Wander, Madeline Wilson and Julianna Torelli.
The four Minnetonka High School juniors arrived in Ely for training the day before they began the journey. They set out the next day at 7 a.m., quickly developing a routine.
“We were done paddling by noon,” Julia said. “We ate lunch at the campsites and then it was time for hammocks(吊床), reading, making friendship bracelets(手鐲) and talking.”
The girls all had experience in the outdoors before.
Anna had been to the Boundary Waters with her family. “I love how you are separated from everything in your life, especially technology, ” Anna said. Without her phone, she said, “I’m less worried about things.” Madeline, too, had been to the Boundary Waters a few years ago. “But this time, I had to paddle right and set up camp,” she said. The girls made fire and cooked meal together. No one was ever hungry or homesick, but they were nervous in the final night as they waited out a thunderstorm. They left wet sleeping bags in one tent, and squeezed into another for the night. “Every thunderstorm in the Boundary Waters feels huge,” Julia said.
On the car ride home, they were all on their phones catching up with friends. “It was a little at a loss turning my phone on,” said Anna. “Mental health can be improved so much in the Boundary Waters. It really helps to get away and reconnect with yourself.”
【解題導(dǎo)語】 16歲的高中女生Julia Ruelle參加了一個作文比賽并獲獎,獎品是邀請最多三位朋友一起進(jìn)行為期五天的獨木舟和露營探險。于是四個女孩關(guān)閉手機(jī),體驗了獨特的五天冒險之旅。

A.She won an essay contest.
B.She was invited by her friends.
C.She performed well in her school.
D.She asked her parents for support.
A 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一、二句“Last year, the 16-year-old took part in an essay contest and carried off a prize. The award was a 5-day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends.”可知,Julia Ruelle參加了一個作文比賽并獲獎,獎品是一次為期五天的獨木舟和露營探險,最多可以邀請三個朋友。據(jù)此可知,Julia Ruelle是通過在一次作文比賽中獲獎獲得這次機(jī)會的,故A項正確。
2.Why was the 5-day adventure unique to the girls?
A.They needed to complete many tasks.
B.They needed to find a guide on their own.
C.They had to live on a boat for several days.
D.They had to live without their smartphones.
D 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“No cellphones.”和倒數(shù)第二段第三句“Without her phone, she said,‘I’m less worried about things.’”可知,此次活動的獨特之處在于不允許帶手機(jī),故D項正確。
3.What can we know about the girls from the story?
A.They had not got any camping experience before.
B.They all felt refreshed after the adventure journey.
C.They enriched their learning experiences by exploring.
D.They used to keep in close touch with their friends by phone.
B 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Mental health can be improved so much in the Boundary Waters. It really helps to get away and reconnect with yourself.”可推知,經(jīng)歷這次冒險之旅后,她們都感受到,這次冒險之旅遠(yuǎn)離塵囂,重新與自己連接,改善了自己的精神健康,故B項正確。

(2020·河南六市高三聯(lián)考)It was about seven years ago. I just picked up my three-year-old daughter from the nursery. I was weighed down with shopping bags, and with my daughter’s things. We arrived at a pedestrian crossing and she pressed the button. In the distance, I heard alarms, told my daughter to wait and watched a police car approaching.
Little did I know, as the__green__man flashed, that my daughter had begun to run into the road. I watched the police car speed toward us—that’s when you sounded your horn and waved wildly to me. My daughter was about a meter from the path of the police car, hidden from their view by your car.
I screamed her name and ran toward her. She stopped and was shocked by the rush of the police car as it sped past. She wondered why you had blown your horn, asking, “Mom, why was that woman so rude?” not realizing you had saved her life.
She wondered why I picked her up and burst into tears. My legs gave way as I reached the other side of the road. I should have followed my “wait” with a hand on her shoulder, or an explanation of why we were ignoring the green man this time, especially as I had in effect conditioned her to cross the road at the sight of the green flash.
I beat myself up for months, and still do, with flashbacks and horrible assumptions about what might have been. But for your sounding your horn, seeing what I hadn’t seen, I would have been left a mother on the other side of the road, totally broken. I apologize for putting you in that position—I can imagine that it upset you,too. You saved her life and I am so grateful.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文是一篇記敘文。大約七年前,“我”的女兒過馬路時沒有注意到警車,幸虧一位女士按喇叭提醒,才挽救了女兒的生命。這件事讓“我”至今難忘,心中充滿感激。
4.What does the underlined part “the green man” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.A pedestrian. B.A policeman.
C.A traffic sign. D.A button.
C 解析:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“Little did I know, as the__green__man flashed,that my daughter had begun to run into the road.”并結(jié)合常識可知,此處表示看到綠燈亮之后,“我”的女兒跑到了馬路上;據(jù)此可推知,畫線部分指代一種交通標(biāo)志,故C項正確。A項意為“一個行人”,B項意為“一個警察”,D項意為“一個按鈕”,都與語境不符。
5.Why did the woman sound her horn?
A.To stop the police car.
B.To show her impatience.
C.To greet passing pedestrians.
D.To draw the mother’s attention.
D 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第二、三句“I watched the police car speed toward us—that’s when you sounded your horn and waved wildly to me. My daughter was about a meter from the path of the police car, hidden from their view by your car.”可知,“我”看到警車向“我們”疾馳而來,這時你按響了喇叭,瘋狂地向“我”揮手?!拔摇钡呐畠弘x警車的車道大約一米遠(yuǎn),你的車擋住了他們的視線。據(jù)此可推知,那位女士按響喇叭是為了引起這位母親的注意,提醒她注意她女兒的安全,故D項正確。
6.What can we infer from the incident?
A.The mother didn’t regret what had happened.
B.The daughter didn’t follow the traffic rules.
C.The woman responded quickly and properly.
D.The police drove beyond the speed limit.
C 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段可知,當(dāng)看到小女孩面臨危險時,那位女士按響喇叭,并瘋狂地向小女孩的母親揮手;并結(jié)合第三段第一、二句“I screamed her name and ran toward her. She stopped and was shocked by the rush of the police car as it sped past.”可知,警車疾馳而過,“我”的女兒安然無恙;據(jù)此可推知,那位女士反應(yīng)快速、正確,挽救了小女孩的生命,故C項正確。
7.How did the mother feel when taking hold of her daughter?
A.Angry and shocked.
B.Scared but relieved.
C.Guilty and confused.
D.Grateful but sad.
B 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第一、二句“She wondered why I picked her up and burst into tears. My legs gave way as I reached the other side of the road.”可知,女兒不知道“我”為什么把她抱起來并突然大哭起來;當(dāng)“我”走到路的另一邊時,“我”的腿軟了;結(jié)合上文可知,一位女士的提醒使“我”的女兒避免了車禍;據(jù)此可推知,抓住女兒時,這位母親既害怕,又感到寬慰,故B項正確。

11.A.attempted B.failed
C.chose D.intended
B 解析:根據(jù)第二段的最后兩句可知,作者四年間沒有上正規(guī)的舞蹈課,再聯(lián)系本句中的“in the four years”可知,fail to do sth.“未做某事”符合語境。attempt“嘗試”;choose“選擇”;intend“打算,計劃”。
12.A.admitted B.a(chǎn)ddicted
C.a(chǎn)dapted D.a(chǎn)pplied

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
(2020·濟(jì)南針對性訓(xùn)練)The Amazon basin region is home to about 2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plants, and some 2,000 birds and mammals. To date, at least 40,000 plant species, 3,000 fish, 1,294 birds, 427 mammals, 428 amphibians, and 378 reptiles have been scientifically classified in the region. One in five of all the birds in the world live in the Amazon rainforest.
The warm and wet forest has been in existence for at least 55 million years, and thrived even during glacial periods, allowing for the evolution of an unbelievable diversity of species. Radiocarbon dating(放射性碳定年法) has revealed trees of 10 centimeter in diameter to be more than 300 years old, and some trees over 1,000 years old, indicating that untouched forests can experience unbelievable longevity.
The first human inhabitants are thought to have settled in the Amazon region about 11,200 years ago. European explorers arrived in the 16th century, bringing diseases which traveled faster than the explorers themselves, killing perhaps as many as 90% of the indigenous inhabitants(土著居民). By the late 17th century the Amazon basin was controlled by Portuguese and Spanish explorers.
The Amazon rainforests has been described as the lungs of our planet because of its important role in recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen. But due to deforestation(濫伐森林), rainforests now cover less than 5% of the Earth’s land surface, and experts believe that this is a big contributor to global climate change. Severe deforestation began in the 20th century, with 587,000 square kilometers lost up to the year 2000.Most deforested land is used for grassland to raise farm animals and agriculture. The addition of transport routes has led to increased settlement and deforestation, and at the present rate, scientists estimate that the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by 40% in two decades.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文主要講述了亞馬遜熱帶雨林的歷史、豐富的物種以及現(xiàn)在所面臨的危險。
1.Why are the figures mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A.To prove the forest untouched.
B.To classify species scientifically.
C.To show the diversity of species.
D.To attract more attention to the Amazon region.
C 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容并結(jié)合第二段第一句中的“allowing for the evolution of an unbelievable diversity of species”可推知,那些關(guān)于動植物種類的數(shù)字說明了亞馬遜熱帶雨林的物種多樣性,故選C。
2.Why did most indigenous inhabitants in the Amazon region die?
A.European explorers brought diseases there.
B.Portuguese explorers treated them badly.
C.A lot of trees were cut down and burned.
D.They got killed by Spanish explorers.
A 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句“European explorers arrived in the 16th century, bringing diseases which traveled faster than the explorers themselves, killing perhaps as many as 90% of the indigenous inhabitants(土著居民).”可知,可能多達(dá)90%的亞馬遜土著居民因為歐洲探險者所帶來的疾病而死亡,故選A。
3.What can be inferred about the Amazon rainforest?
A.It has the largest number of species.
B.It covers over 5% of South America.
C.It is becoming larger in area.
D.It is being endangered now.
D 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段尾句中的“at the present rate...in two decades”并結(jié)合最后一段的整體內(nèi)容可推知,亞馬遜熱帶雨林遭到破壞,而且未來20年可能會減少40%,故選D。
4.What may be included in the following paragraph?
A.Examples of destroying forests.
B.Measures to protect rainforests.
C.New settlements in the Amazon region.
D.Ways to stop global warming.
B 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的關(guān)鍵詞“deforestation”可推知,亞馬遜熱帶雨林砍伐嚴(yán)重,那么本文接下來自然就會論述這一問題的解決措施,故選B。
B
(2020·佛山高三調(diào)研)Plants cannot run or hide, so they need other strategies to avoid being eaten. Some curl up their leaves, others produce chemicals to make themselves taste bad if they sense animals drooling on them, chewing them up or laying eggs on them—all signals of an attack. New research now shows that some flora can feel a plant-eating animal well before it launches an attack, letting a plant prepare a preemptive(先發(fā)制人的) defense that even works against other pest species.
When ecologist John Orrock of the University of Wisconsin-Madison sprayed snail slime—a liquid the animals release as they slide along—onto soil, nearby tomato plants appeared to notice. They increased their levels of an enzyme(酶), which is known to prevent plant-eating animals. “None of the plants were ever actually attacked,” Orrock says. “We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming, and that was enough to cause big changes in their chemistry.”
Initially Orrock found this defense worked against snails; in the latest study, his team measured the slimy warning’s impact on another potential threat. The investigators found that hungry caterpillars(毛蟲), which usually eat tomato leaves greedily, had no appetite for them after the plants were exposed to snail slime and activated their chemical resistance. This nonspecific defense may be a strategy that benefits the plants by further improving their overall possibilities of survival, says Orrock, who reported the results with his colleagues in March in Oecologia.
The finding that a snail’s approach can cause a plant response that affects a different animal made Richard Karban curious, a plant communications expert, who was not involved in the study. “It is significant that the plants are responding before being damaged and that these cues are having such far-ranging effects,” Karban says. “The research was comprehensive,” he adds, “but he wonders how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slime that never actually touched them.”
“That’s the million-dollar question,” Orrock says. He hopes future research will make out the mechanisms that enable plants to sense these relatively distant cues.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文主要介紹了一項新的科學(xué)研究。研究表明植物會對外在威脅相當(dāng)警覺,會自動作出反應(yīng)進(jìn)行自我保護(hù)。
5.John Orrock sprayed a liquid onto soil near tomato plants to ________.
A.make them grow better
B.give them a warning
C.keep plant-eating animals away
D.inform plant-eating animals of danger
B 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming, and that was enough to cause big changes in their chemistry.”可推知,John Orrock在西紅柿植株附近的泥土上噴灑液體的目的是給予植物一種警告,讓它們能夠產(chǎn)生自我保護(hù)性反應(yīng),且其與第三段第一句中的“his team measured the slimy warning’s impact on another potential threat”呼應(yīng),故選B。
6.Why is the example of caterpillars mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.To introduce another animal.
B.To confirm the result of the study.
C.To appeal to people to protect animals.
D.To analyze different resistance chemicals.
B 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“Initially Orrock found this defense worked against snails;in the latest study, his team measured the slimy warning’s impact on another potential threat.”可推知,文章中提到毛蟲的例子是為了驗證研究的結(jié)果,故選B。
7.What does Richard Karban really want to know?
A.How tomato plants become aware of danger.
B.What the chemicals in the snail slime are.
C.Whether the research is of practical value.
D.What the finding of the research is.
A 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句“‘The research was comprehensive,’he adds,‘but he wonders how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slime that never actually touched them.’”,并結(jié)合對最后一段的整體理解可推知,Richard Karban實際上想了解的是西紅柿植株是如何意識到危險的,故選A。
8.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Watchful Plants B.Greedy Animals
C.A Snail’s Approach D.A Defense Attack
A 解析:標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)文章中的關(guān)鍵詞plant,并結(jié)合對全文的整體理解可推知,本文主要講述的是有關(guān)植物的科學(xué)研究,研究發(fā)現(xiàn)植物有對外在威脅或攻擊的自我保護(hù)性反應(yīng),故選A。
Ⅱ.七選五
(2020·平頂山名校模擬)Three in five people in the UK hold a library card. For some, libraries are a shelter from the stresses of day-to-day life. 1.________ If you’re considering joining your local library, now is the time to do so. And if you need any more encouragement, here are several reasons why you should.
Most libraries in the UK allow members of the general public to come and go as they like. 2.________ You can also take out a library card and borrow books for free, although you will inevitably face a fine for late returns.
3.________ Imagine just how many books you have at your fingertips with a library card. There are lots of modern ones, as well as original ones, and you can continue to expand your learning and vocabulary all the time. It’s a priceless experience, especially for kids, and also a great way to level the educational playing field.
Libraries develop with times. They have changed greatly since decades ago. 4.________ Some libraries have apps so you can see when your books are due back and even reserve books in some cases. There are also libraries which let you access books in digital formats on your mobile device—pretty cool.
Libraries are one of very few spaces left in towns and cities where members of the public can come together and actually be and feel like a community. They have noticeboards to offer services like exercise classes or learning centres. 5.________
A.Libraries help people learn.
B.Libraries help educate the kids.
C.They create a great sense of community.
D.You can go in, settle down and read a book without being charged a penny.
E.Most libraries now have computers and allow people to borrow CDs and DVDs.
F.Libraries help us save money as we’re borrowing books rather than buying them.
G.For others, particularly the homeless and people in poverty, a lifeline to the world.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了加入圖書館的原因。圖書館是人們減壓的好場所,在那里人們還可以免費學(xué)習(xí)文化知識。圖書館隨著時代發(fā)展,創(chuàng)造了一種社區(qū)意識。
1.G 解析:根據(jù)空前一句“For some, libraries are a shelter from the stresses of day-to-day life.”可知,對一些人來說,圖書館是躲避日常生活壓力的庇護(hù)所;據(jù)此可推知,空處應(yīng)與此對應(yīng),介紹其他人對圖書館的看法,故G項符合語境。
2.D 解析:根據(jù)空后一句“You can also take out a library card and borrow books for free, although you will inevitably face a fine for late returns.”可知,你也可以拿出借書證免費借書,不過如果逾期還書,你將不可避免地面臨罰款;據(jù)此可推知,空處應(yīng)是介紹在圖書館免費讀書的情況,故D項符合語境,銜接上下文。且D項中的“You can”與空后一句中的“You can also”相呼應(yīng)。
3.A 解析:根據(jù)空處所在位置可知,空處為該段的主題句;結(jié)合對本段的整體理解,尤其是該段第三句“There are lots of modern ones, as well as original ones, and you can continue to expand your learning and vocabulary all the time.”可知,通過閱讀,你可以一直拓展你的學(xué)習(xí),擴(kuò)大你的詞匯量;據(jù)此可知,該段主要說明了圖書館可以幫助人學(xué)習(xí),故A項正確。
4.E 解析:根據(jù)本段的主題句“Libraries develop with times.”和空后的“Some libraries have apps”可知,空處應(yīng)是介紹現(xiàn)如今的圖書館利用現(xiàn)代技術(shù)設(shè)備的情況,故E項與此處匹配。
5.C 解析:根據(jù)該段第一句“Libraries are one of very few spaces left in towns and cities where members of the public can come together and actually be and feel like a community.”可知,圖書館能讓公眾聚集起來成為一個社區(qū);結(jié)合空處位置可知,空處總結(jié)該段,即圖書館創(chuàng)造了一種社區(qū)意識,故C項正確。

【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文主要介紹了英國正在流行的兩大趨勢,即素食主義和有機(jī)農(nóng)業(yè)。
1.to eat 解析:考查非謂語動詞。此處為固定搭配decide not to do sth.“決定不做某事”,故用不定式作賓語。
2.a(chǎn)re becoming 解析:考查動詞的時態(tài)和主謂一致。與上文“Vegetarianism(素食主義) is becoming one rising trend in the UK”呼應(yīng)可知,此處用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時,表示現(xiàn)在的一種趨勢,且與句子主語的復(fù)數(shù)形式保持一致,故用are becoming。
3.Why 解析:考查疑問副詞。與語境中的問號呼應(yīng),并結(jié)合下文的內(nèi)容可推知,此處表示對原因的疑問,故用特殊疑問詞Why。
4.on 解析:考查介詞。effect on sb./sth.意為“對某人/某(事)物有影響”,為固定搭配,故用介詞on。
5.Worries 解析:考查名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)。worry為可數(shù)名詞時,意為“令人擔(dān)憂的事”,且根據(jù)語境及該句中的have可知,此處用名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式作主語。
6.healthier 解析:考查形容詞的比較級。句意:為了變得更健康,其他一些人選擇改變他們的飲食習(xí)慣。此處包含一個比較的概念,故用形容詞比較級形式作become的表語。
7.the 解析:考查冠詞。risk被介詞短語of certain cancers修飾,表示特指,故用定冠詞the修飾。
8.a(chǎn)nother 解析:考查限定詞。與上文“Vegetarianism(素食主義) is becoming one rising trend in the UK”呼應(yīng)可知,此處表示另外一種興起的趨勢,故用限定詞another修飾名詞trend,表示“再一,另一”。
9.organically 解析:考查副詞。修飾動詞用副詞,故用副詞organically修飾動詞produced。
10.is produced 解析:考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,produce與句子主語Organic meat是被動關(guān)系,且表示客觀敘述,故用其一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)形式。
