第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Here are four fun Thanksgiving tradition facts.
Turkey and cranberry sauce (小红莓果酱)
While the Native Americans and Pilgrims are believed to have feasted on geese, lobster, cod and deer, present-day Thanksgiving dinners mainly feature turkey. Some experts believe the birds were selected because they were cheper, and easier to rise. The bird was suggested by Sarah Josepha Hale to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. Since President Abraham Lincoln loved roasted turkey, he happily included the bird on his Thanksgiving menu. The idea of pairing the bird with cranberry sauce is believed to be the brainchild of Civil War Union General Ulysses S. Grant in 1864.
Turkey Trots
Many Americans build up their appetites (食欲) for the holiday feast by participating in their town or city's morning runs, or "Turkey Trots". The fun tradition was started in 1896 by six people of Buffalo, New York. It is the world's oldest footrace, attracting over 14,000 runners of all ages and abilities every year.
Thanksgiving parades
American retailer Macy's has been holding a Thanksgiving parade along Manhattan's 77th Street and Central Pack West since 1924. Though the popular event, which attracts over 3.5 million people in person and about 50 million television viewers, now contains giant floats (花车), the first parade featured animals from New York's Central Park Zoo.
The Presidential turkey pardon
Every year, two lucky turkeys escape the Thanksgiving table due to a special pardoning supported by the US president. People credit the fun tradition to President Harry Truman (April 12, 1945 to January 20, 1953). Though at first, just one bird could be freed, a "spare" was added in 1981, after a turkey named Liberty escaped by accident before President Ronald Reagan was able to grant (授予) his pardon at the ceremony.
21.Which of the following traditions has the longest history?
A.Turkey Trots. B.Thanksgiving parades.
C.Turkey and cranberry sauce. D.The Presidential turkey pardon.
22.Which is a benefit of many Americans observing the tradition "Turkey Trots"?
A.Building good relationships with others.
B.Winning awards given by the government.
C.Adding a new tradition to the festival.
D.Physically preparing for the coming holiday feast.
23.The presidential turkey pardon was changed in 1981 probably to ___________.
A.make it easy to name the turkeys B.attract more people to participate
C.give the pardoned turkey a partner D.make sure the pardon could be carried out
【答案】21.C 22.D 23.D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国感恩节的四个传统。
21.细节理解题。根据文章内容可知,四个传统的历史:Turkey and cranberry sauce在1864年形成;Turkey Trots在1896年形成;Thanksgiving parades始于1924年;The Presidential turkey pardon形成于1945年或之后。因此可知,历史最悠久的应是Turkey and cranberry sauce。故选C项。
22.细节理解题。根据 Turkey Trots部分的Many Americans build up their appetites (食欲) for the holiday feast by participating in their town or city's morning runs, or "Turkey Trots".可知,许多美国人通过参加他们所在城镇的晨跑或“火鸡小跑”来增加节日大餐的食欲。许多美国人参加Turkey Trots的一个好处是使自己更有胃口去吃节日盛宴。故选D项。
23.推理判断题。根据The Presidential turkey pardon部分的Though at first, just one bird could be freed, a "spare" was added in 1981, after a turkey named Liberty escaped by accident before President Ronald Reagan was able to grant (授予) his pardon at the ceremony.可知,起初,只有一只鸟可以被释放,1981年,一只名为“自由”的火鸡在里根总统能够在仪式上赦免他之前意外逃脱,之后又增加了一只“备用”火鸡。由此可知,仪式上多了一只被赦免的火鸡是为了确保赦免仪式能正常进行。故选D项。

The end of the school year is in sight - Christmas cards, candy canes and of course, end of year reports.
While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids' performance, they do not expect their own input to be evaluated. But a school in the UK is changing that. As well as assessing their students, they are dishing out grades to mums and dads. Parents that are really involved in their kids' education are rewarded with an A, and parents that haven't done their bit get a disappointing D.
The school, Greasley Beauvale Primary in Nottinghamshire, uses standard such as whether mums and dads have attended school events such as plays and parent teacher evenings to decide on the grade. The school's principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme had been well received.
"There were some critics. In spite of it, between 15 percent and 20 percent of parents started out in the lower categories but now that has been reduced to just two per cent," she explained.
Chambers hopes that the scheme will help motivate parental involvement. "The system is important because you have got to get the parents on board from day one. That one hour initial conversation saying they could improve will make a difference to the rest of that child's academic life", she said.
But while the scheme may be well intentioned, it is likely to be connected with parent shaming. There are lots of reasons why some mums and dads might not be involved in school activities such as work commitments, looking after younger children or caring for elderly relatives.
And of course, being involved in your kid's education doesn't begin and end at school. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes from helping with homework to keeping uniforms freshly laundered. And what about all the parents who stayed up sewing special costumes at the last minute? Surely that earns a gold star instead of a grade!
28.What do schools usually do at the end of the school year? ______
A.Evaluating kids' performances.
B.Making Christmas cards.
C.Dividing candies.
D.Grading parents.
29.What does the school's principal Chambers say about the scheme? ______
A.It uses a new way to evaluate kids.
B.It has gained much acceptance.
C.It gives parents further education.
D.It improves kids' motivation for learning.
30.What does the author think of parents being involved in kids' education? ______
A.It adds to parents' burden.
B.It brings shame to parents.
C.It means far more than being graded.
D.It increases parents' commitment to education.
31.What is the passage mainly about? ______
A.There is too much stress for parents about their children's academic life.
B.Parents as well as their children are on the list of the year school report.
C.Parents should be involved in children's school life.
D.Whether a parent is excellent depends on the grade he gets.
【答案】28.A 29.B 30.C 31.B
【分析】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。学年结束时学校一般是对学生的表现进行评估。虽然大多数家长欢迎对孩子的表现进行评估,但他们并不期望自己也进入到被评估。而英国的一所学校正在改变这一点。不仅评价他们的学生,而且还要对他们的妈妈和爸爸参与学校活动打等级。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段可知在学年结束时有年终报告书,在第二段中“While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids' performance, they do not expect their own input to be evaluated. ”可知在学年结束时,要评估学生的表现。故选A。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的The school's principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme had been well received.学校的校长Chambers说方案已经获得了广泛的接受,即得到了大家的认可。故选B。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知。参与孩子的教育并不只在学期开始或结束时,还用于如帮助孩子做功课,清洁校服,还有熬夜给孩子制作表演的服装等。这一切都不仅仅只是给打个等级。因此推断分析选项可知C项符合题意。故选C。
31.主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids’ performance, they do not expect their own input to be evaluated. But a school in the UK is changing that. As well as assessing their students, they are dishing out grades to mums and dads.”可知学年结束时学校一般是对学生的表现进行评估。虽然大多数家长欢迎对孩子的表现进行评估,但他们并不期望自己也得到评估。而英国的一所学校正在改变这一点。不仅评价他们的学生,而且还要对他们的妈妈和爸爸参与学校活动打等级。接着就是对这种评估的标准进行了分析。分析选项可知B项(父母和他们的孩子都被列入年度学校报告的名单中)符合题意,故选B项。
D
Tobacco has long been recognized as a huge health threat. It is known to cause lung and heart problems to many long-term users. According to the World Health Organization, 3,000,000 people die early each year because of tobacco use, including 890,000 deaths from second-hand smoke exposure.
E-cigarettes, an alternative (替代品) to smoking, have become popular. Also known as vaporizers (汽化器), they are electric devices that heat liquid nicotine into a vapor that can he taken in. This vapor is less harmful to inhale than smoke. For example, it does not produce tar (焦油), which can build up in a smoker’s lungs. Inhaling vapor - called vaping - is not without its own risks, however. Exposure to nicotine during youth can lead to addiction and cause long-term harm to brain development. The vapor may also contain harmful things. The Center for Disease Control has linked vaping to more than 805 cases of lung disease and 12 deaths so far in the US.
Vaping has greatly increased in popularity in the US, especially among teenagers. About 37 % of US high school seniors were reported vaping in 2018, up from 28% the year before, Harvard Health Publishing reported. Michael Blaha, a researcher at the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, listed 3 reasons that contributed to vaping’s popularity among young people. First, many teens eve that vaping is less harmful than smoking. Second, ecigarettes have a lower per-use cost than traditional cigrattes. Finally, e-cigarettes come in a wide range of sweet flavors, like apple pie and watermelon.
Blaha is most concerned that more teenagers are taking up vaping as a habit. “It’s one thing if you change from cigarette smoking to vaping. It’s quite another thing to start up nicotine use with vaping. And, it often leads to using traditional tobacco products down the road,” he said.
Governments around the world the divided about vaping. 39 countries and regions have banned the sale of e-cigarettes, according to the Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction 2018. Last September, US President Donald Trump said the use of e-cigarettes might be negatively affecting young people and that it should be kept off the market until proved harmless.
32.The underlined word “inhale” in Paragraph 2 probably means “__________”.
A.blow away B.spread out
C.give off D.breathe in
33.In what way are e-cigarettes different from traditional tobacco products?
A.E-cigarettes do not produce tar.
B.E-cigarettes are not bad to smokers’ health.
C.E-cigarettes are less likely to cause nicotine addiction.
D.E-cigarettes do more harm to smokers’ brains than their lungs.
34.Why is vaping popular with young people according to Blaha?
A.Vaping is allowed at school.
B.Vaping makes them look cool.
C.They like the liquid taken from fruits.
D.They think it’s safer and cheaper than smoking.
35.What can we learn from Blaha’s words in Paragraph 4?
A.Those who smoke e-cigarettes tend to smoke tobacco later.
B.Vaping is more likely to attract teenagers than older people.
C.It usually takes a long time for smokers to enjoy e-cigarettes.
D.E-cigarettes should be encouraged to replace traditional tobacco products.
【答案】32.D 33.A 34.D 35.A
【分析】这是一篇说明文。众所周知,烟草一直被认为是一个巨大的健康威胁,它会导致许多长期使用者的肺部和心脏问题。烟草的替代品----电子烟在美国越来越受欢迎,尤其是在青少年中。文章介绍了电子烟的危害及各国对电子烟的态度。
32.词义猜测题。根据下文的For example, it does not produce tar (焦油), which can build up in a smoker’s lungs.可知,它不会产生焦油,而焦油会在吸烟者的肺部积聚。由此可知,上一句应是指“这种蒸气吸入的危害比烟小。”,因此,inhale应是“吸入,吸收”的意思。故选D。
33.细节理解题。根据第二段的This vapor is less harmful to inhale than smoke. For example, it does not produce tar (焦油), which can build up in a smoker’s lungs.可知,电子烟不会像香烟一样产生焦油。故选A。
34.细节理解题。根据第三段的Michael Blaha, a researcher at the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, listed 3 reasons that contributed to vaping’s popularity among young people. First, many teens eve that vaping is less harmful than smoking. Second, e-cigarettes have a lower per-use cost than traditional cigrattes. Finally, e-cigarettes come in a wide range of sweet flavors, like apple pie and watermelon.可知,Blaha认为年轻人喜欢吸电子烟的原因有三个:认为电子烟的危害比吸烟小;电子烟比香烟便宜;电子烟的味道多。结合选项,故选D。
35.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Blaha说的话“It’s one thing if you change from cigarette smoking to vaping. It’s quite another thing to start up nicotine use with vaping. And, it often leads to using traditional tobacco products down the road可知,Blaha认为开始使用电子烟的人很可能最后开始吸烟。故选A。

词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一,可以大致分为①定义猜词,可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义。③语法猜词,可以根据构词法,再结合上下文进行猜词。④语境猜词,猜测词义离不开上下文的语境。⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容。本文中的第1小题是词义猜测题,该小题属于语境猜词。根据下文的For example, it does not produce tar (焦油), which can build up in a smoker’s lungs.可知,它不会产生焦油,而焦油会在吸烟者的肺部积聚。由此可知,上一句应是指“这种蒸气吸入的危害比烟小。”,因此,inhale应是“吸入,吸收”的意思。

Dear Tom,
How is everything going? Since you are interested in the shadow play, I'd like to introduce them to you.
As the traditional Chinese folk art, the shadow play has been existed in China for centuries. It dates back to the Han Dynasty, where Emperor Liu Che lost his beloved wife Li. Depressing about her death, he even ignores the state affairs, worrying his officials. Then they made a puppet with the image of Li but performed before the Emperor. He was too pleased that he asked them to spread the art form.
Unfortunately, it is becoming more attractive due to the impact of modern media. Both Chinese artists and the government are making joint efforts conserve the ancient art form.
If you want to know more, don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】them→it the→a 删除been where→when
Depressing→Depressed ignores→ignored but→and too→so
more→less efforts后加to
【分析】这是一篇应用文。通过这封信,作者给朋友介绍了中国的传统民间艺术皮影戏的由来,衰落和现状。
【详解】
1.考查代词。联系上句可知,此处的代词应代指the shadow play,它是单数,故应用it来代替。故将them改为it。
2.考查冠词。结合句意,此处应译为“作为一项传统中国民间艺术”,故用不定冠词,且traditional是辅音音素开头,故用a。故将the改为a。
3.考查语态。exist(存在)是不及物动词,没有被动语态。故删除been。
4.考查关系词副词。先行词Han Dynasty(汉朝)应在从句中作时间状语,故用关系副词when。故将where改为when。
5.考查形容词。分析句子可知,修饰主语he应用v-ed的形容词。故将Depressing改为Depressed。
6.考查时态。联系上下文,此处的he指代汉朝皇帝刘彻,故讲述的是过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故将ignores改为ignored。
7.考查连词。句意:然后他制作了一个以Li为原型的木偶并且在皇帝面前表演。结合句意可知,前后两个动作是顺承关系,应用and连接。故将but改为and。
8.考查副词比较级。句意:非常不幸的是,由于当代媒体的影响它正在变得没那么有吸引力。由unfortunately可知,此处应译为“没那么有吸引力”,所以用less。故将more改为less。
9.考查固定结构。结合语境可知,此处考查so…that…(如此…以至于…)。故将too改为so。
10.考查固定短语。根据短语make efforts to do sth(努力做某事)可知,此处应加上to。故在efforts后加to。
第二节 书面表达 (满分25分)

【参考范文】
Dear Sir or Madam,
Recently, our class had a discussion on choosing jobs. As we all know, nowadays there are various kinds of jobs in our society. Different people hold different views on what job to choose. Some may choose the jobs they are interested in, while others may prefer a job with high pay.
In my opinion, one should choose a job that interests him, as long as the pay could cover the basic needs of his life. First, it is not the money that serves as the ultimate goal of life, but happiness. Only by doing the things one really enjoys could he achieve the happiness he pursues. Second, a man can do the job much better when the job interests him more.
When faced with the two options, I would rather choose the job that I am interested in than the one with higher pay.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua

Here are four fun Thanksgiving tradition facts.
Turkey and cranberry sauce (小红莓果酱)
While the Native Americans and Pilgrims are believed to have feasted on geese, lobster, cod and deer, present-day Thanksgiving dinners mainly feature turkey. Some experts believe the birds were selected because they were cheper, and easier to rise. The bird was suggested by Sarah Josepha Hale to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. Since President Abraham Lincoln loved roasted turkey, he happily included the bird on his Thanksgiving menu. The idea of pairing the bird with cranberry sauce is believed to be the brainchild of Civil War Union General Ulysses S. Grant in 1864.
Turkey Trots
Many Americans build up their appetites (食欲) for the holiday feast by participating in their town or city's morning runs, or "Turkey Trots". The fun tradition was started in 1896 by six people of Buffalo, New York. It is the world's oldest footrace, attracting over 14,000 runners of all ages and abilities every year.
Thanksgiving parades
American retailer Macy's has been holding a Thanksgiving parade along Manhattan's 77th Street and Central Pack West since 1924. Though the popular event, which attracts over 3.5 million people in person and about 50 million television viewers, now contains giant floats (花车), the first parade featured animals from New York's Central Park Zoo.
The Presidential turkey pardon
Every year, two lucky turkeys escape the Thanksgiving table due to a special pardoning supported by the US president. People credit the fun tradition to President Harry Truman (April 12, 1945 to January 20, 1953). Though at first, just one bird could be freed, a "spare" was added in 1981, after a turkey named Liberty escaped by accident before President Ronald Reagan was able to grant (授予) his pardon at the ceremony.
21.Which of the following traditions has the longest history?
A.Turkey Trots. B.Thanksgiving parades.
C.Turkey and cranberry sauce. D.The Presidential turkey pardon.
22.Which is a benefit of many Americans observing the tradition "Turkey Trots"?
A.Building good relationships with others.
B.Winning awards given by the government.
C.Adding a new tradition to the festival.
D.Physically preparing for the coming holiday feast.
23.The presidential turkey pardon was changed in 1981 probably to ___________.
A.make it easy to name the turkeys B.attract more people to participate
C.give the pardoned turkey a partner D.make sure the pardon could be carried out
【答案】21.C 22.D 23.D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国感恩节的四个传统。
21.细节理解题。根据文章内容可知,四个传统的历史:Turkey and cranberry sauce在1864年形成;Turkey Trots在1896年形成;Thanksgiving parades始于1924年;The Presidential turkey pardon形成于1945年或之后。因此可知,历史最悠久的应是Turkey and cranberry sauce。故选C项。
22.细节理解题。根据 Turkey Trots部分的Many Americans build up their appetites (食欲) for the holiday feast by participating in their town or city's morning runs, or "Turkey Trots".可知,许多美国人通过参加他们所在城镇的晨跑或“火鸡小跑”来增加节日大餐的食欲。许多美国人参加Turkey Trots的一个好处是使自己更有胃口去吃节日盛宴。故选D项。
23.推理判断题。根据The Presidential turkey pardon部分的Though at first, just one bird could be freed, a "spare" was added in 1981, after a turkey named Liberty escaped by accident before President Ronald Reagan was able to grant (授予) his pardon at the ceremony.可知,起初,只有一只鸟可以被释放,1981年,一只名为“自由”的火鸡在里根总统能够在仪式上赦免他之前意外逃脱,之后又增加了一只“备用”火鸡。由此可知,仪式上多了一只被赦免的火鸡是为了确保赦免仪式能正常进行。故选D项。

The end of the school year is in sight - Christmas cards, candy canes and of course, end of year reports.
While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids' performance, they do not expect their own input to be evaluated. But a school in the UK is changing that. As well as assessing their students, they are dishing out grades to mums and dads. Parents that are really involved in their kids' education are rewarded with an A, and parents that haven't done their bit get a disappointing D.
The school, Greasley Beauvale Primary in Nottinghamshire, uses standard such as whether mums and dads have attended school events such as plays and parent teacher evenings to decide on the grade. The school's principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme had been well received.
"There were some critics. In spite of it, between 15 percent and 20 percent of parents started out in the lower categories but now that has been reduced to just two per cent," she explained.
Chambers hopes that the scheme will help motivate parental involvement. "The system is important because you have got to get the parents on board from day one. That one hour initial conversation saying they could improve will make a difference to the rest of that child's academic life", she said.
But while the scheme may be well intentioned, it is likely to be connected with parent shaming. There are lots of reasons why some mums and dads might not be involved in school activities such as work commitments, looking after younger children or caring for elderly relatives.
And of course, being involved in your kid's education doesn't begin and end at school. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes from helping with homework to keeping uniforms freshly laundered. And what about all the parents who stayed up sewing special costumes at the last minute? Surely that earns a gold star instead of a grade!
28.What do schools usually do at the end of the school year? ______
A.Evaluating kids' performances.
B.Making Christmas cards.
C.Dividing candies.
D.Grading parents.
29.What does the school's principal Chambers say about the scheme? ______
A.It uses a new way to evaluate kids.
B.It has gained much acceptance.
C.It gives parents further education.
D.It improves kids' motivation for learning.
30.What does the author think of parents being involved in kids' education? ______
A.It adds to parents' burden.
B.It brings shame to parents.
C.It means far more than being graded.
D.It increases parents' commitment to education.
31.What is the passage mainly about? ______
A.There is too much stress for parents about their children's academic life.
B.Parents as well as their children are on the list of the year school report.
C.Parents should be involved in children's school life.
D.Whether a parent is excellent depends on the grade he gets.
【答案】28.A 29.B 30.C 31.B
【分析】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。学年结束时学校一般是对学生的表现进行评估。虽然大多数家长欢迎对孩子的表现进行评估,但他们并不期望自己也进入到被评估。而英国的一所学校正在改变这一点。不仅评价他们的学生,而且还要对他们的妈妈和爸爸参与学校活动打等级。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段可知在学年结束时有年终报告书,在第二段中“While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids' performance, they do not expect their own input to be evaluated. ”可知在学年结束时,要评估学生的表现。故选A。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的The school's principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme had been well received.学校的校长Chambers说方案已经获得了广泛的接受,即得到了大家的认可。故选B。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知。参与孩子的教育并不只在学期开始或结束时,还用于如帮助孩子做功课,清洁校服,还有熬夜给孩子制作表演的服装等。这一切都不仅仅只是给打个等级。因此推断分析选项可知C项符合题意。故选C。
31.主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids’ performance, they do not expect their own input to be evaluated. But a school in the UK is changing that. As well as assessing their students, they are dishing out grades to mums and dads.”可知学年结束时学校一般是对学生的表现进行评估。虽然大多数家长欢迎对孩子的表现进行评估,但他们并不期望自己也得到评估。而英国的一所学校正在改变这一点。不仅评价他们的学生,而且还要对他们的妈妈和爸爸参与学校活动打等级。接着就是对这种评估的标准进行了分析。分析选项可知B项(父母和他们的孩子都被列入年度学校报告的名单中)符合题意,故选B项。

Tobacco has long been recognized as a huge health threat. It is known to cause lung and heart problems to many long-term users. According to the World Health Organization, 3,000,000 people die early each year because of tobacco use, including 890,000 deaths from second-hand smoke exposure.
E-cigarettes, an alternative (替代品) to smoking, have become popular. Also known as vaporizers (汽化器), they are electric devices that heat liquid nicotine into a vapor that can he taken in. This vapor is less harmful to inhale than smoke. For example, it does not produce tar (焦油), which can build up in a smoker’s lungs. Inhaling vapor - called vaping - is not without its own risks, however. Exposure to nicotine during youth can lead to addiction and cause long-term harm to brain development. The vapor may also contain harmful things. The Center for Disease Control has linked vaping to more than 805 cases of lung disease and 12 deaths so far in the US.
Vaping has greatly increased in popularity in the US, especially among teenagers. About 37 % of US high school seniors were reported vaping in 2018, up from 28% the year before, Harvard Health Publishing reported. Michael Blaha, a researcher at the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, listed 3 reasons that contributed to vaping’s popularity among young people. First, many teens eve that vaping is less harmful than smoking. Second, ecigarettes have a lower per-use cost than traditional cigrattes. Finally, e-cigarettes come in a wide range of sweet flavors, like apple pie and watermelon.
Blaha is most concerned that more teenagers are taking up vaping as a habit. “It’s one thing if you change from cigarette smoking to vaping. It’s quite another thing to start up nicotine use with vaping. And, it often leads to using traditional tobacco products down the road,” he said.
Governments around the world the divided about vaping. 39 countries and regions have banned the sale of e-cigarettes, according to the Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction 2018. Last September, US President Donald Trump said the use of e-cigarettes might be negatively affecting young people and that it should be kept off the market until proved harmless.
32.The underlined word “inhale” in Paragraph 2 probably means “__________”.
A.blow away B.spread out
C.give off D.breathe in
33.In what way are e-cigarettes different from traditional tobacco products?
A.E-cigarettes do not produce tar.
B.E-cigarettes are not bad to smokers’ health.
C.E-cigarettes are less likely to cause nicotine addiction.
D.E-cigarettes do more harm to smokers’ brains than their lungs.
34.Why is vaping popular with young people according to Blaha?
A.Vaping is allowed at school.
B.Vaping makes them look cool.
C.They like the liquid taken from fruits.
D.They think it’s safer and cheaper than smoking.
35.What can we learn from Blaha’s words in Paragraph 4?
A.Those who smoke e-cigarettes tend to smoke tobacco later.
B.Vaping is more likely to attract teenagers than older people.
C.It usually takes a long time for smokers to enjoy e-cigarettes.
D.E-cigarettes should be encouraged to replace traditional tobacco products.

35.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Blaha说的话“It’s one thing if you change from cigarette smoking to vaping. It’s quite another thing to start up nicotine use with vaping. And, it often leads to using traditional tobacco products down the road可知,Blaha认为开始使用电子烟的人很可能最后开始吸烟。故选A。

词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一,可以大致分为①定义猜词,可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义。③语法猜词,可以根据构词法,再结合上下文进行猜词。④语境猜词,猜测词义离不开上下文的语境。⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容。本文中的第1小题是词义猜测题,该小题属于语境猜词。根据下文的For example, it does not produce tar (焦油), which can build up in a smoker’s lungs.可知,它不会产生焦油,而焦油会在吸烟者的肺部积聚。由此可知,上一句应是指“这种蒸气吸入的危害比烟小。”,因此,inhale应是“吸入,吸收”的意思。

Dear Tom,
How is everything going? Since you are interested in the shadow play, I'd like to introduce them to you.
As the traditional Chinese folk art, the shadow play has been existed in China for centuries. It dates back to the Han Dynasty, where Emperor Liu Che lost his beloved wife Li. Depressing about her death, he even ignores the state affairs, worrying his officials. Then they made a puppet with the image of Li but performed before the Emperor. He was too pleased that he asked them to spread the art form.
Unfortunately, it is becoming more attractive due to the impact of modern media. Both Chinese artists and the government are making joint efforts conserve the ancient art form.
If you want to know more, don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】them→it the→a 删除been where→when
Depressing→Depressed ignores→ignored but→and too→so
more→less efforts后加to
【分析】这是一篇应用文。通过这封信,作者给朋友介绍了中国的传统民间艺术皮影戏的由来,衰落和现状。
【详解】
1.考查代词。联系上句可知,此处的代词应代指the shadow play,它是单数,故应用it来代替。故将them改为it。
2.考查冠词。结合句意,此处应译为“作为一项传统中国民间艺术”,故用不定冠词,且traditional是辅音音素开头,故用a。故将the改为a。
3.考查语态。exist(存在)是不及物动词,没有被动语态。故删除been。
4.考查关系词副词。先行词Han Dynasty(汉朝)应在从句中作时间状语,故用关系副词when。故将where改为when。
5.考查形容词。分析句子可知,修饰主语he应用v-ed的形容词。故将Depressing改为Depressed。
6.考查时态。联系上下文,此处的he指代汉朝皇帝刘彻,故讲述的是过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故将ignores改为ignored。
7.考查连词。句意:然后他制作了一个以Li为原型的木偶并且在皇帝面前表演。结合句意可知,前后两个动作是顺承关系,应用and连接。故将but改为and。
8.考查副词比较级。句意:非常不幸的是,由于当代媒体的影响它正在变得没那么有吸引力。由unfortunately可知,此处应译为“没那么有吸引力”,所以用less。故将more改为less。
9.考查固定结构。结合语境可知,此处考查so…that…(如此…以至于…)。故将too改为so。
10.考查固定短语。根据短语make efforts to do sth(努力做某事)可知,此处应加上to。故在efforts后加to。

【参考范文】
Dear Sir or Madam,
Recently, our class had a discussion on choosing jobs. As we all know, nowadays there are various kinds of jobs in our society. Different people hold different views on what job to choose. Some may choose the jobs they are interested in, while others may prefer a job with high pay.
In my opinion, one should choose a job that interests him, as long as the pay could cover the basic needs of his life. First, it is not the money that serves as the ultimate goal of life, but happiness. Only by doing the things one really enjoys could he achieve the happiness he pursues. Second, a man can do the job much better when the job interests him more.
When faced with the two options, I would rather choose the job that I am interested in than the one with higher pay.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
