A
(2020·银川高一检测)
Sitting on the “Roof of the World”, Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve is one of the world’s hot spots for biodiversity protection. Mount Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest, is to be measured again by a Chinese team to make sure its exact height after last official measurement.
“Conducting research and protecting the region can help us learn more about the origin and development of the earth, as well as our human-beings and wildlife, ” said Cheng Pengfei, president of the Chinese Academy of Surveying & Mapping (CASM).
The weather in the Mount Qomolangma area changes frequently. While the maximum temperature in the tent is more than 20 degrees Celsius, or even 30 degrees Celsius at noon, it may start snowing in the afternoon, and a gale may spring up at night, even blowing away the tents. Those taking part in the mission are ready for the task after preparing thoroughly at the base camp.
The complex geological environment has formed diverse land forms in the area. Distinctive snow mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes and glaciers can be found. And the unique ecological environment has also established a special biological diversity.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。继上一次官方测量后, 中国队将再次测量珠穆朗玛峰的高度。研究和保护该地区可以帮助我们进一步了解地球的起源和发展, 以及人类和野生动物。珠峰的气候变化频繁, 复杂的地质环境在该地区形成了多种地貌。
1. What can we learn from the text?
A. The ecological environment around the Mount Everest has nothing to do with its biodiversity.
B. The height of Mount Everest has been measured before.
C. The weather in Mount Everest area is relatively steady with a small temperature change.
D. Learning more about wildlife in the area is one of the most important purposes of the research.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第一段Mount Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest, is to be measured again by a Chinese team to make sure its exact height after last official measurement. 在上一次官方测量后, 珠穆朗玛峰将由中国队再次测量, 以确定它的准确高度。由此可知, 珠穆朗玛峰的高度以前被测量过。
2. What does the underlined word possibly mean in the 3rd paragraph?
A. A name of an animal. 　　 B. A kind of grass.
C. A strong wind. D. A name of a machine.
【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据画线单词后面的even blowing away the tents可知, 甚至会吹走帐篷, 由此可以猜出, 画线单词gale是指大风。
3. Where can you most probably see the text?
A. In a geography textbook.
B. In a travelling brochure.
C. In a government report.
D. In a newspaper.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。通读全文可以看出, 这篇文章是关于中国队测量珠峰的相关事宜, 可能在报纸上看到。故选D。
B
Imagine being face-to-face with a woolly mammoth (猛犸象). It would be quite a sight. Scientists believe it would tower above 11 feet tall and have a sloping back, a long, powerful trunk, and sharp, curved tusks that stretch up to 10 feet. Its thick hair would be up to three feet long. It would weigh six tons—about as heavy as a bus.
You’ve probably never seen a giant furry elephant before. Actually, you definitely haven’t. The species has been extinct for thousands of years.
But a few years from now, you might be able to see a woolly mammoth in person. Scientists believe they have the technology to recreate it.
A team of South Korean and Russian scientists plan to clone a woolly mammoth. How will they do it?
Several woolly mammoth bodies have already been discovered in Siberia, an icy region in Russia. The scientists plan to take cells from these frozen mammoths. In a laboratory, they’ll use them to create a new cluster (群) of cells called an embryo. The embryo will be placed into the womb of a living female elephant. That elephant will then give birth to a baby woolly mammoth.
The scientists believe the whole process will take five years. Many scientists and animal lovers can’t wait. It will be so exciting to be able to bring a creature that has been extinct for thousands of years back to life. People would travel from around the world for the chance to see a living woolly mammoth. By observing the way the creature looks and acts, scientists might make brand-new discoveries about the history of animal life.
Other experts aren’t so sure about the woolly mammoth project. One big question is what to do with a mammoth. The Earth has changed in the thousands of years since these animals roamed the planet. Where would the creature live, and would it be able to survive in today’s climate ? Some believe that the money being spent on the experiment could be better spent on other important scientific projects, such as fighting diseases.
But the South Korean and Russian scientists are sticking to their plan. They admit they have a big challenge ahead. There is no guarantee that they will succeed, but they’re hopeful.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 介绍了科学家们克隆猛犸象的计划, 也许在将来的某一天人们又可以看到这种已经灭绝的动物。

5. What is the challenge for scientists to clone a mammoth?
A. Whether they have enough money for the project.
B. Whether the mammoth can adapt to the new environment.
C. Whether the mammoth can survive the modern diseases.
D. Whether their plan wins support from the public.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“One big question is what to do with a mammoth. The Earth has changed in the thousands of years since these animals roamed the planet. Where would the creature live, and would it be able to survive in today’s climate?”可知, 它们是否能够适应现在的环境和气候对科学家克隆猛犸象来说是一个挑战, 故B项正确。
6. The last paragraph implies that the attitude of scientists to cloning mammoths is _______.  
A. negative　　　　　　 B. disapproving
C. optimistic D. doubtful
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There is no guarantee that they will succeed, but they’re hopeful. ”可知, 没有人能保证他们一定能成功, 但是他们充满希望, 由此可知, 他们对克隆猛犸象的计划是乐观的, 故C项正确。
7. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Scientists are finding ways to deal with mammoths.
B. Scientists try to find out the history of animal life.
C. Scientists plan to bring the mammoth back to life.
D. Scientists pay little attention to the return of the mammoth.

Some Effective Ways to Meet New People
It is universally acknowledged that first impressions matter a lot. If you want to know how to meet people, just follow these steps.
◆Live in the moment.
To meet new people, the first thing you have to do is enjoy the present moment of the new conversation. Let go of your expectations and fears. 　1　  
When you approach a new person, don’t ask yourself, “How do I look?” or “How do I sound?” Instead, ask, “What would this person like to talk about?” or “What matters to this person?”
◆　2　 
If you keep up your confidence, people feel that you’re a person who is worth talking to. You should be confident before you walk into a room with new people in it and build your confidence as the conversation goes along. Just smile, talk about the things that you love, and show everyone that you love who you are, where you are, and what you do.
　3　 Stand tall, maintain eye contact, and don’t fidget (摆弄) with your hands or look at the floor. When you introduce yourself, speak clearly and loudly enough that you’ll be heard.  
◆Be positive.
　4　 You should smile from time to time. Talk about the things you love, the things that make you happy, and your interests to keep people engaged.  
Don’t talk about your long-standing hatred for a certain teacher, or classmate. 　5　 The occasional “That’s so true!” or “I know exactly what you mean!” will be far more positive.  
A. Stay confident.
B. Communicate in a fun and casual way.
C. Body language can help you stay confident.
D. They can prevent a conversation from unfolding smoothly.
E. Don’t ask for the person’s number in the middle of the conversation.
F. Maintaining a positive attitude will make people want to talk to you.
G. Don’t nod and agree with what the person is saying every five seconds.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些与新结识的人谈话时的建议。
1. 【解析】选D。根据前文“Let go of your expectations and fears. ”可知, 要放下你的期望和恐惧, 可推知设空句应是对“为什么放下期望和恐惧”作出解释。选项D. They can prevent a conversation from unfolding smoothly. ( 它们能阻止谈话顺利展开。)解释了期望和恐惧对于谈话的阻碍作用, 且句中“They”与前文“expectations and fears”相呼应。
2. 【解析】选A。设空为小标题, 根据后文“If you keep up your confidence, people feel that you’re a person who is worth talking to. (如果你保持自信, 人们会觉得你是一个值得交谈的人。)”可知要保持自信, 本段主题应是“自信”。选项A. Stay confident. (保持自信)贴合主题。
3. 【解析】选C。设空在段首, 后文应对设空句进一步解释。根据后文“Stand tall, maintain eye contact, and don’t fidget with your hands or look at the floor. When you introduce yourself, speak clearly and loudly enough that you’ll be heard. ( 站直, 保持眼神交流, 不要摆弄你的手或看着地板。当你介绍自己时, 说话要清楚, 声音要大, 这样别人才能听到。)”可知, 本段主要讲述了肢体语言在保持自信方面的重要性。选项C. Body language can help you stay confident. ( 肢体语言可以帮助你保持自信。)贴合主旨要义。
4. 【解析】选F。设空在小标题之后, 应对其进行进一步的解释。根据小标题“Be positive. ”可知, 该部分讲述的主题是“积极”。选项F. Maintaining a positive attitude will make people want to talk to you. ( 保持积极的态度会让人们想和你说话。)进一步解释了“积极”的作用。
5. 【解析】选G。根据后文举例: The occasional “That’s so true!” or “I know exactly what you mean!” will be far more positive. ( 偶尔说一句“太对了!”或“我完全明白你的意思!”会更加积极。)可知, 要使交谈变得更加积极, 可以说一些表述赞同的话语, 因此选项G. Don’t nod and agree with what the person is saying every five seconds. ( 不要每隔五秒钟就点头同意对方说的话。)提到的“不要一直点头”与后文举例相呼应。
话题写作·表达升级
幽默故事

1. 在写幽默故事时, 可适当使用含蓄、风趣的小对话, 以增加文章的生动性和感染力。同时, 我们还要了解中西方文化的异同, 掌握不同的修辞手法。既要了解表层意思, 又要领会深层含义。
2. 从形式上看, 幽默故事通常比较简短, 并常带有推理性。前面的部分往往起铺垫作用, 后面的部分才是幽默的“灵魂”。
