A

 The associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower shop like myself were never perfect;however,they were excellent.Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness,understanding,and patience.

One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job.He told me that David was a little shy,did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews.He requested that I give David an interview just for practice.He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice.

When David came in for the interview,he hardly said a word.I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around.I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability.David was very quiet (he was evaluated as a slow learner in school).Every ten days or so,for weeks after the interview,David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door.He never said a word,just stood by the door.

One day,shortly before Christmas,a large truck came to the shop,packed with 250 new bicycles.It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave.It was raining.Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work,so I was short-handed.It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it,David came in the front door and just stood there.I looked at him and shouted,“Well,all right!Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!”

David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years.He came to work every day thirty minutes early.He could talk; however,he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries.The customers would praise David,saying,“He doesn’t talk,but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!”

21.The author gave David an interview to　　　. 

A.find a person who is reliable     B.give him some practice

C.find a part-time worker in need D.show sympathy for him

22.The author finally hired David because 　　　. 

A.he needed someone who was willing to work then

B.there were no other workers in the shop then

C.David kept showing up

D.he realized David was dependable

23.We can infer from the last paragraph that 　　　. 

A.some customers just play jokes on David 

B.David has had his character changed through work

C.the author feels lucky to hire David 

D.the author prefers David to be more outgoing

语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。David是“我”的一位雇员,虽然他不善言辞,但勤恳踏实的工作态度赢得了顾客的赞美。他也让“我”明白:“我”的伙伴们和“我”一样都不完美,但却很优秀。在跟他们一起工作的日子里,“我”学会了宽恕、理解和耐心。

答案及剖析:

21.B　细节理解题。根据第二段第三句He requested that I give David an interview just for practice.可知,他要求作者给David进行一次面试,仅仅只是为了练习。故B项正确。

22.A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知,当装满250辆新自行车的大卡车冒雨到达时,一些工人不愿在这样的天气情况下工作,因此人手短缺。这时作者正好看到David进来,于是叫他过来帮忙。结合最后一段可知,David从此开始在这里工作了。故A项正确。

23.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,David在作者的店里勤勤恳恳工作了十八年,还受到了顾客的赞扬。由此可推知,作者感觉很幸运能有这样的员工。故C项正确。

B

Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises,according to scientists.They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat.

Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat in mice’s belly by half over four weeks,even if they ate more.US researchers say that social excitement aids weight loss by turning white fat into brown fat.White fat stores calories and makes us fatter,while brown fat burns energy to produce heat.Turning white fat into brown fat is extremely difficult,normally requiring long-term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the body’s nervous system.

However,scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown fat.The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice.Those,who lived alongside a greater number of mice,had more space and toys to excite themselves and they lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato” fellows.

Study’s author,Dr Mattew During whose team’s findings appear in the journal Cell Metabolism,said,“I’m still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs.” Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing,he added,“It’s not just a sedentary (久坐的)lifestyle and high calorie foods,but an increasing lack of social activities.” Co-author Dr Lei Cao said,“Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death;it’s equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent.Social activities are very vital.”

24.Which of the following statements does the text support?

A.Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing.

B.The mice lacking social life lose more weight.

C.The research findings haven’t been published so far.

D.Dr Mattew During wasn’t convinced of the result.

25.We can conclude from the text that 　　　. 

A.the fat in mice’s belly was reduced because of the relaxing environment

B.a sedentary lifestyle and high calories foods influence people’s social life

C.surfing the Internet may influence people’s face-to-face communication

D.cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life

26.What’s the main idea of the text?

A.Brown fat is beneficial to people’s health.

B.Socializing is unnecessarily important in people’s daily life.

C.White fat can be changed into brown fat.

D.Socializing contributes to people’s losing weight.

语篇解读:科学家指出,人际交往能够提高体内卡路里的消耗量,从而减少脂肪,达到减肥的效果。然而,现代化的科技正在威胁着人与人之间的面对面交流。

答案及剖析:

24.A　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中的They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat可知,社交和与朋友见面能够帮助提高棕色脂肪的水平。所以答案为A项。

25.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句中的Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing可知,新科技正在威胁着面对面的交流。所以答案为C项。

26.D　主旨大意题。文章第一段统领全文,主要说明人际交往能够帮助提高棕色脂肪的水平,从而帮助人们减肥。第二、三、四段也都是围绕这一主题阐述的。所以答案为D项。

C

The national environmental watchdog has declared that boosting efforts to cut air pollution in northern China,especially winter smog from the burning of coal,is a mission for this year.

Burning coal for winter heating has been listed as one of the primary causes of air pollution,Chen Jining,minister of environmental protection,said on Monday at the annual meeting on environmental protection in Beijing.“As much as 60 percent of smog content is caused by coal burning in the starting phase of each smog”,said Fang Li,an official with Beijing’s Environmental Protection Bureau.Therefore,Beijing has declared that it will wipe out coal use in its most rural areas by 2020.

To start with,Beijing will replace coal-fired heating stoves with those powered by electricity or gas in 400 villages this year,before taking the campaign to the districts of Chaoyang,Haidian,Fengtai and Shijingshan by 2017,said Guo Zihua,a municipal rural development official.Beijing’s downtown districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng eliminated coal burning last year,officials said.

The capital and other places in northern China experienced several smog alerts in November and December,when peak readings were many times higher than the national safety level.Obviously,the situation is deteriorating,and will become a norm.So the government came up with a “smog subsidy (津贴)” for those who work outdoors,and 95 percent of the respondents to a survey support it.

The Trade Union in Zhengzhou City surveyed subscribers to its official WeChat account and found that 88 percent of nearly 400 respondents said priority should be given to outdoor workers on smoggy days.But 9 percent said air pollution affects everyone so it would be unfair to only address the concerns of people who work outdoors.

Over half of the respondents think the extra subsidy,if applied,could come in the form of protective tools or cash.Twenty-two percent said money is the easiest way.To finance the proposed subsidy,53 percent think the government and companies should jointly pay the bill,while 44 percent said central and regional governments should be responsible.

27.What can we infer from the “No coal by 2020” strategy?

A.China will wipe out coal use in most rural areas by 2020.

B.Beijing’s Environmental Protection Bureau put it forward.

C.Coal-fired heating is cheaper than electricity or gas heating.

D.Coal burning in Beijing is mostly concentrated in rural areas.

28.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.60 percent of dust is caused by coal burning.

B.Whether the “smog subsidy” policy can be carried out hasn’t been decided.

C.The Trade Union surveyed 400 Zhengzhou citizens.

D.There are 6 districts in Beijing where people burn coal.

29.How many respondents think it’s better to pay the subsidy by money?

A.About 35. B.About 90.  C.About 200. D.About 350.

30.What’s the author’s attitude towards the “smog subsidy”?

A.Supportive. B.Disapproving.  C.Objective. D.Uncertain.

语篇解读:本文是一篇环保类的说明文。由于雾霾天气越来越严重,北京市决定采取措施,在2020年前要实现农村“无煤化”。同时,出于对空气污染日趋严重而且很难彻底消除的考虑,政府计划推出“雾霾津贴”,来给户外工作者一些补偿。

答案及剖析:

27.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Beijing has declared that it will wipe out coal use in its most rural areas by 2020.”可知是在2020年之前北京实现农村无煤化,而不是整个中国,排除A项;文中并没有说明是哪个部门提出的此项战略,排除B项;C项文中也没有提及,故排除;根据第二段中的“it will wipe out coal use in its most rural areas by 2020”以及第三段中的“Beijing will replace coal-fired heating stoves with those powered by electricity or gas in 400 villages”可知烧煤主要集中在农村地区。故

选D。

28.B　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“the government came up with a ‘smog subsidy(津贴)’”以及后文做的一些调查可知,“雾霾津贴”的举措只是由政府提出,最终能否被实施还没有确定。故B项正确。根据第二段的内容可知百分之六十的烟雾是在燃烧煤炭的开始阶段产生的,而不是百分之六十的灰尘是由燃煤引起的,故排除A项;根据倒数第二段的首句可知将近400的市民不一定全是郑州市民,故C项不正确;根据第三段的内容可知D项也不符合文意,故也应排除。

29.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Twenty-two percent said money is the easiest way.”可知400×22%=88,最接近90,故选B。

30.C　观点态度题。本文作者只是客观地介绍了“雾霾津贴”的一些情况以及人们对它的一些看法,没有夹杂任何感情色彩和偏向性。故选C。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(2018浙江余姚中学高三最后押题卷)

　　根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Want to improve your language skills?Follow the tips.

Embrace authentic language

Go to find what you love—movies,audiobooks,podcasts,or comics.Or travel back in time to your favorite childhood Disney songs.You may find that you even want to sing along with them.31.　　　Language teachers call these “authentic texts”,which is simply another way to say that this is real,living,breathing language. 

Use your devices

Think of the technology you use on a daily basis.How about changing the display language?32.　　　It might be worth making a mental note of how to change the language back though,just in case. 

Build associations with your environment

Your environment is full of vocabulary.Sticky notes are your friends when it comes to labeling every object in your house.Handy tip:Don’t just label stuff,build associations with useful vocabulary.For example,don’t just write “the light switch” but also “to turn on”,“to turn off”,“bright” and “dark”.Reading these associations regularly will help solidify them in your mind.33.　　 

Less is more—when you do it regularly

Make it a habit to learn as much as you can every day—and “can” is the operative word here.You’ve got half an hour?Great.Only 15 minutes today?No problem.It’s still better than cramming for a weekend and then doing nothing for a couple of weeks.34.　　　If you’re able to integrate language learning into your day instead of trying to set aside “extra” time for it,the chances of it becoming a habit are much better. 

Find someone to talk to,even if it’s you

Finding a native speaker to talk to is an absolute must if you want to learn a language.35.　　　And don’t be afraid to chat in the language you’re learning:everybody who’s ever learned a language has done this at one stage or another.It’s perfect for building your confidence,or trying out new words,so it becomes the second nature. 

A.What’s important is that you learn regularly,and that you find time for it in your daily routine.

B.Waiting at a cafe?Scan the headlines on China Daily,of course,the English version.

C.Try making little sentences with them as you go about your day—talking to yourself can be invaluable.

D.While you’re walking the dog,listen to that foreign language podcast.

E.Jingles and songs learned in any language stick in the mind for decades.

F.Your computer,your smart phone,your browser,your apps,your GPS,and of course any games you play.

G.Get someone else who’s learning the language,a classmate or colleague.

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。本文是关于如何提高语言能力的一些建议。

答案及剖析:

31.E　根据上两句:Or travel back in time to your favorite childhood Disney songs.You may find that you even want to sing along with them.可知歌曲有利于语言学习,并在大脑中持续很久,故选E。

32.F　根据本段小标题Use your devices可知F选项Your computer,your smart phone...合适。

33.C　根据语境强调与环境相联系是很好的学习语言的途径,也需要巩固所学的词汇,所以用它们造句是可行的做法。

34.A　根据本段大意“积少成多、循序渐进”,且前文中讲到每天15分钟学习语言胜过一星期一次的填鸭式的学习,A项中提到要把时间放到每日的常规中,故选A项。

35.G　根据本段小标题Find someone to talk to,even if it’s you可知,学习语言需要有交流对象,且前一句提到找一个说母语的人一起学习语言,G项中与学习该语言的人一起学习,符合上下文语境。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

The world’s fifth reported brown-and-white giant panda has been found in Foping Nature Reserve.56.　　　　(spot)on Nov.1,the baby panda,less than two months old,was estimated to 57.　　　　(appropriate)weigh 2 kilograms and believed to be the fifth giant panda of this rarely seen color ever found.58.　　　　(it)eyes haven’t opened yet,but it can sense the people 59.　　　　 come near it to take a picture. 

Many 60.　　　　(research)believe the brown-and-white pandas are a return to the form typical 61.　　　　 their ancestors.But some argue that those pandas are a variation(变异)of their usual group while a few others think that they are 62.　　　　 new subspecies of pandas 63.　　　　(result)from the environmental changes of the mountains. 

The first three recorded brown-and-white pandas 64.　　　　(find)in Foping Nature Reserve,in 1985,1990 and 1991 with the fourth found in 1992 in Shaanxi.China has more than 2,000 giant pandas.The giant panda 65.　　　　(feed)mainly on green bamboo. 

语篇解读:本文是说明文,介绍的是世界上第五只棕白相间的大熊猫被发现及该类熊猫的一些相关情况。

答案及剖析:

56.Spotted　考查非谓语动词的用法。the baby panda与spot是逻辑上的动宾关系,故应用其过去分词形式作状语。

57.appropriately　考查副词的用法。此处表示这只大熊猫幼崽估计重约2千克。此处应用副词修饰动词。appropriately“大约”。

58.Its　考查代词的用法。它的眼睛还没有睁开,但它能感知到前来靠近它拍照的人。应用形容词性物主代词在句中作定语。

59.who/that　考查定语从句的用法。空处在句中引导定语从句,修饰先行词people,且在从句中作主语,故填who/that。

60.researchers　考查名词复数的用法。许多研究人员认为这种棕白相间的大熊猫的出现是一种返祖现象。根据句意和空前的“Many”可知,此处应填可数名词复数形式researchers。

61.of　考查固定搭配。typical后常跟介词of表示“……的典型,……的代表”。

62.a　考查冠词的用法。其他一些人认为它们是一种新的大熊猫亚种。subspecies“亚种”是单复数同形。此处表示泛指,故应填不定冠词a。

63.resulting　考查非谓语动词的用法。result from“因……产生”与其逻辑主语为主谓关系,故应用现在分词形式在句中作后置定语。

64.were found　考查时态和语态。根据句中的“in 1985,1990 and 1991”可知,find这一动作发生在过去,故应用一般过去时;find与主语在逻辑上是动宾关系,应用被动语态,故填were found。

65.feeds　考查时态。大熊猫主要以翠竹为食。此处陈述的是一种客观事实,应该用一般现在时,故填feeds。feed on“以……为食”。

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

Ali and his younger sister,Zahra,lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood.Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job,and they had only a little money with which to buy food.As they had not paid the rent for several months,the landlord was breathing down their necks.

One day,Ali took Zahra’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed,but he lost them on the way home.It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes.He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed,so he begged his sister to keep it secret.Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes.Zahra’s school hours were in the morning,so she would wear them first.After school,she would rush back and give them to Ali.He could then run to his school,which began in the afternoon.Although he ran as fast as he could,Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.

Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes,he decided to take part.He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.

The day of race arrived.Ali had a strong start,but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache.Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her.Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength,and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners,determined to finish third.Suddenly,as the finish line drew near,another runner collided (碰撞)with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.

注意:

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;

3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;

4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Paragraph 1:

Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.                       

Paragraph 2:

Filled with delight,Ali walked home quickly.                                

　　One possible version:

Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.Refusing to give up at this point,he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could.He dashed across the finish line and won the fourth prize.Thinking he would let her sister down,Ali couldn’t help sobbing.Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule.Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony,Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.

　　Filled with delight,Ali walked home quickly.He could not wait to see his sister and share the thrilling news.On his arrival,Ali found Zahra was waiting outside.She was really nervous whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting.“Zahra,see what I have got for you.” He took the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands.The instant Zahra saw the shoes,her face lit up.So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali.“Thank you!Ali.” Tears of joy welled up their eyes as the brother and sister hugged tightly together.
