高考英语复习训练题Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·日照检测)Along with the standard pigments(颜料) and paintbrushes，artist Sean Yoro(known as Hula)，requires an unconventional piece of equipment for his particular brand of mural(壁画) making：a paddleboard.The Hawaiian muralist，balanced on the top of the floating platform，describes women from various sites across the world，whose homelands are often threatened by the effects of global warming.For his most recent project，titled“What If You Fly”，Hula traveled to Baffin Island，off the coast of Nunavut，Canada，to paint a portrait of local Inuit woman Jesse Mike，who lives there with her daughter.In a short film telling of the artist's process，Mike explains her frustrating previous experiences working with filmmakers who reported on the terrible circumstances troubling her endangered landscape.“For most people，it's about the polar bears，it's not about the people，”she said.“Well，let's make it about the people.”Hula and his team spent 14 hours searching for the perfect iceberg canvas(油画布)，knowing all the while that the ice itself，and any image created on the top of it，would soon melt away into nothing.“It's a little ambitious t o do this larger­than­life ice mural in the Arctic，and somehow，at the same time，make a connection to the human culture，”climber and filmmaker Renan Ozturk said of the project.When Hula found his proper ice，he painted a portrait of Jesse he took earlier on his camera.Working against the power of time and Mother Nature，the artist aimed to finish as much of Jesse's portrait as he could before the iceberg disappeared.The massive image，Hula's most remote and technically challenging piece yet，communicates a memorable reality—the consequences of climate change，first and foremost，affect people.【语篇解读】本文主要叙述了壁画大师Hula去往Baffin Island，通过在冰上画一位因纽特女性的肖像来提醒人们气候变化的后果正在影响人类这一现实。

]B(2019·甘肃省重点中学联考)Every human being，no matter what he is doing，gives off body heat.The usual problem is how to get rid of it.But the designers of the Johnstown campus(校园) of the University of Pittsburgh(commonly referred to as Pitt) set themselves the opposite problem—how to collect body heat.They have designed acollection system which uses not only body heat，but the heat given off by such objectsas light bulbs and refrigerators as well.The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus's six buildings comfortable.Some parts of most modern buildings—theaters and offices as well as classrooms，are more sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must beair­conditioned even in winter.The technique of saving heat and redistributing(重新分配) it is called“heat recovery”．A few modern buildings recover heat，but the campus's system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.Along the way，Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its producers.The hardera student studies，the more heat his body gives off.Male students send out more heatthan female students，and the larger a student is，the more heat he produces.We may conclude that the_hottest_prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard­working overweight male genius.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Pittsburgh大学的“热回收”技术。
