Ⅰ阅读理解
A
(2018·惠州调研)When I was a boy we used to live across the road
from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it. When winter arrived,
thick and heavy snow would fall, and my two brothers would grab their
sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun. I remember watching them
with envy because I was still too small to go sledding. Finally, one winter
I was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it.
The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers had the time of my life.It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled.Near the end of the day I was too overjoyed when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself. I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach. Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside.I was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course，straight towards one of those big oak trees. My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming. At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree.I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling，“You have to steer(操控)! You have to steer！”
Sadly, that wasn’t the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life.Many times problems，troubles, and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger，frustration, and despair. I am still learning that life isn’t always safe sledding. I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness，back to goodness，and back to God.
Life is a trip, but no one ever said it was a smooth ride.Steer well then.Steer straight.Steer your soul towards the light and the love that are all meant for us.
【解题导语】作者小时候有一次滑雪时差点撞到橡树上，但在最后一刻，作者翻滚到雪地里才得以化险为夷，同时他学到了一个人生道理：学会自我掌控。

1．What do we know about the author when he was very young?
A．He lived on a big hill with huge oak trees on it.
B．He was frightened to go sledding with his brothers.
C．He longed to go sledding with his brothers.
D．He carried his brothers’sleds as they went sledding.
C解析：细节理解题。

根据第一段第三句“I remember watching them with envy because
I was still too small to go sledding.”可知，作者因为年龄太小不能去滑雪，只能嫉妒地看着哥哥们玩。

据此可知，作者小时候很渴望和哥哥们一起滑雪，故C项正确。

2．Which of the following can replace the underlined word“exhilarating” in Paragraph 2?
A．Delightful.B．Terrifying.
C．Ordinary. D．Violent.
A解析：词义猜测题。

根据第二段第二句“It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled.”可知，这句话描述的是作者第一次滑雪时在木雪橇上从山上冲下去，风从脸上刮过时的快感。

根据第一段作者渴望滑雪的描述再结合下文中的“overjoyed”可知，作者玩得很开心，据此可以判断，画线词意为“令人愉快的”，故A项正确。

3．Why did the author fall off his sled?
A．Because his sled crashed into an oak tree.
B．Because he lost control of his sled.
C．Because his brother pushed it so hard.
D．Because the hillside was snowy.
B解析：推理判断题。

根据第二段中的“I was doing pretty well...one of those big oak trees.”可知，作者撞到了雪地里的一个树桩，然后径直撞向一棵大橡树，再结合该段中的“At the last possible second... the tree.”可知，作者在快要撞到橡树的那一刻从雪橇上翻滚下来，从而避开了危险。

据此可以判断，作者从雪橇上掉下来是因为他失去了对雪橇的控制。

故B 项正确。

4．What does the author mean to tell us?
A．Losing control of a sled can be dangerous.
B．Courage and determination can change one’s life.
C．Life can be controlled by oneself.
D．Life is a mystery full of coincidences.
C解析：推理判断题。

通过全文再结合文章最后一段的前两句“Life is a trip, but no one ever said it was a smooth ride. Steer well then.”可知，作者认为人生的旅程不是一帆风顺的，应该学会掌控生活。

据此可以判断，本文旨在告诉读者，人生是可以由自己撑控的，故C 项正确。

B
(2018·武昌高三调研)Kanda really doesn’t like to walk alone.The
scientist from a research institute of intelligent robots finds the experience
so boring that he’d rather drive—even though he lives close to his lab and
knows that walking is healthy.“I enjoy walking with someone，like with
my wife，with my daughter，”Kanda said.“But they are not always available.”
So Kanda，who specializes in human－like bots，developed a robotic walking partner that could make small talk based on its surroundings，which，he hopes，might motivate people to get out and exercise more.The bot rests on a person’s shoulder like a boxy parrot.It weighs about a pound and a half and sits roughly 8.5 inches high，and is 3.5 inches wide and 10 inches long.A microphone，a speaker，and an internal camera allow it to communicate.It’s even equipped with a smile.
Kanda and his team collected video from five different locations，including a garden and a shopping mall，and created a dataset of small talk topics related to each location.Then they programmed the robot to associate visual cues with specific topics.A special speech software provided the robot with a voice.Near a group of parked cars，for example，it might say，“In a big parking lot, sometimes I forget where I parked.”
They tested the robot on 15 volunteers，10 males and 5 females，who were paid and averaged about 26 years old.“Have you ever blown a puff of dandelion(蒲公英) seeds into the air？”The robot asked a participant，who smiled and responded，“Yes，I often did that when I was a child.”Although several participants noted the robot’s weight，Kanda was surprised that no one considered the experience strange or funny.“I guess people enjoy new technologies，”he said.
Just like a human partner，Kanda’s bot isn’t perfect.It’s not able to go for walks in heavy rain and，while the robot can make expressions，it can’t really hold a conversation，about which Kanda is most worried.Despite its limits，Kanda was comforted by the bot’s presence.“I felt a kind of sense of being with someone，”he said，“particularly when it spoke.”
【解题导语】本文主要介绍了新研发的陪人散步的机器人。

5．Why does Kanda have the idea of developing a robotic walking partner?
A．Because he wants someone to accompany him while walking.
B．Because he has never developed a robot like a parrot.
C．Because his family are unwilling to walk with him.
D．Because he is crazy about developing robots.
A解析：细节理解题。

根据第一段的“‘I enjoy walking with someone，like with my wife，with my daughter，’Kanda said.‘But they are not always available.’”可知，Kanda发明陪人散步的机器人的原因是想找个人在他散步时陪他，故选A。

6．What characteristic does the robot have?
A．It can “speak”and “see”．
B．It can walk like a human being.
C．It can communicate with people freely.
D．It is much more humorous than a real person.
A解析：推理判断题。

根据第二段倒数第二句以及第三段的“Then they programmed...with a voice.”可推知，这种机器人可以说话还可以看，故选A。

7．What is necessary for the robot to function?
A．A small size.B．A boxy shape.
C．A human partner. D．A speech software.
D解析：细节理解题。

根据第二段倒数第二句和第三段的“Then they programmed...A special speech software provided the robot with a voice.”可知，这种机器人是要配备麦克风、扬声器、内置摄像头以及特殊的语音软件的，故选D。

8．What is Kanda most likely to do about his robot next?
A．To make it more convenient to carry.
B．To improve its conversational skills.
C．To enable it to walk in heavy rain.
D．To better its sound system.
B解析：推理判断题。

根据最后一段第二句的“it can’t really hold a conversation，about which Kanda is most worried”并结合全文的内容可推知，接下来Kanda将要改善的是机器人的交流技能，故选B。

C
(2018·福建泉州检测)We know a lot about the advantages and
disadvantages of reading a hard-copy book vs. reading electronically. The
problem is, many of us refuse to listen.
Don’t get me wrong: Digital reading has some real advantages. Ask
people what they like most about reading on digital screens, and you hear
over and over again about convenience. More points for digital reading：e­books tend to be cheaper. There’s also the environmental argument. Think of the trees!
Yet the soundness of this case is arguable. The earth metals to build e­readers are not just rare but highly poisonous. And think about all that energy needed to run servers and cooling fans. And remember, trees are a renewable resource.
Then, there’s the appeal of a hard copy. Many people prefer print when reading both for pleasure and for school or work. Drawing examples from my own research, some of the reasons are aesthetic(美学的). Others involve a sense of accomplishment, ease of annotation(“I can write on the pages”), and navigation(“easy to locate where I was”). Meanwhile, I hear abundant complaints about eye strain(眼疲劳) and headaches when using screens.
Much of what students liked about reading print involved their minds. They say “it’s easier to focus”. Some also acknowledged they took more time with printed text and read more carefully.
But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration. More than 92% of those I surveyed said they concentrated best when reading a hard copy. When a digital device has an Internet connection, it’s hard to resist the temptation(诱惑)．
So if digital interruptions don’t threaten your enjoyment or understanding of a text, then medium may not matter. Casual reading like David Baldacci? If you break to check sports scores, there will be little harm done. But just d on’t expect to understand Joyce’s novels this way.
【解题导语】文章主要介绍了在网络高度发达的社会中，电子书愈来愈有替代纸质书的趋势，然而作者通过对比两者的优缺点表达了对纸质书的青睐。

9．What is an advantage of reading a hard­copy book?
A．It is cheaper.
B．It is easier to carry around.
C．It helps people think deeper.
D．It provides instant information.
C解析：细节理解题。

根据文章第五段可知，读纸质书能让人更专注、更认真，因此思考更深入。

故选C项。

10．What’s the biggest problem of reading digitally?
A．Environmental concern.
B．Physical discomfort.
C．Lack of concentration.
D．Internet connection.
C解析：细节理解题。

根据文章第六段中的第一句“But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration.”可知，电子书阅读的最大问题是缺乏专注。

故选C项。

11．What’s the author’s attitude toward e-reading?
A．Supportive.B．Disapproving.
C．Optimistic. D．Unconcerned.
B解析：推理判断题。

根据文章第三至六段尤其是最后一段可知，作者认为，如果电子阅读不会影响你阅读的愉悦感和对文本的理解，那么无可厚非。

但是读类似乔伊斯的作品时就不是合适的选择了。

由此可推测，作者对电子阅读持不赞成的态度。

故选B项。

12．How is the passage mainly developed?
A．By analyzing possible reasons.
B．By providing typical examples.
C．By listing practical suggestions.
D．By presenting direct comparisons.
D解析：写作手法题。

文章的第二段主要讲了电子书的好处，第三段讲了电子书的缺
点，第四、五段主要讲了纸质书的益处，第六段讲了电子书的缺点。

因此整个文章是通过比较来写作的。

故选D项。

Ⅰ阅读理解
(2018·兰州高考实战模拟)In many developed countries, people
who have high degrees begin to work longer than those who don’t.
About 65% of American men aged 62－74 with a professional degree
are in the workforce(劳动人口), compared with 32% of men who only
finish high school. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-educated wealthy and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individuals and society, are profound.
The world is facing an astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity(长寿) translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift(变化) will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling(渐增的) ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.
Policies are partly responsible. Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early. Even the better­off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to reap(获得) rich rewards into old age
because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding(先前的) generation. Technological change may well reinforce(强化) that shift: the skills that complement(补充) computers, from management know­how to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age.
【解题导语】本文主要讲述了在发达国家有专业技能的人的工作年限更长及其原因分析。

1．What is the common phenomenon in the workforce in rich countries?
A．Younger people are replacing the elderly.
B．Well­educated people tend to work longer.
C．People with no college degree cannot find any job.
D．Unemployment rates are decreasing year after year.
B解析：细节理解题。

根据文章第一段的第一句“In many developed countries, people who have high degrees begin to work longer than those who don’t.”可知，在发达国家，受过良好教育的人的工作年限更长，故选B。

2．In view of the experience of the 20th century, many observers predict that________．
A．economic growth will slow down
B．government budgets will decrease
C．more people will try to receive higher education
D．there will be more competition in the job market
A解析：细节理解题。

根据第二段的最后一句“The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity(长寿) ... pensioners will create government budget problems.”可知，选A。

3．According to the text, what is the result of policy changes in European countries?
A．Unskilled workers may choose to retire early.
B．More and more people have to go abroad to hunt for jobs.
C．People may be able to use computers to do more complicated work.
D．Even wealthy people must work longer to live comfortably in retirement.
D解析：细节理解题。

根据最后一段的第三句“Even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement.”可知，欧洲国家政策的变化导致富有的人也必须工作更长时间才能过上舒服的退休生活，故选D。

4．The underlined word “know-how” in the last paragraph probably refers to “________”．A．a completely different environment
B．practical knowledge and technical skills
C．a better understanding of policy changes
D．the courage to face difficulties and dangers
B解析：词义猜测题。

根据最后一段的最后一句“Technological change may well reinforce(强化) that shift: the skills that complement(补充) computers, from management know­how to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age.”可知，know­how是对skills的限定修饰，由此可推知，know-how指相应的技能和知识，故选B。

(2018·南昌高三模拟)Your first step toward healthy living is to get a handle on your health status right now. Here’s your to－do list：
Assess your activity.How much physical activity do you get in a typical week?
1.________？How much variety do you get in your activity, and how much do you enjoy it? The CDC recommends that adults get at least two and a half hours per week of moderate－intensity aerobic activity or one hour and 15 minutes per week of vigorous－intensity aerobic activity, plus muscle－strengthening activity at least two days per week.
Keep a food diary. Write down everything you eat for a day—and no fair skipping the items you’re embarrassed about. “2.________，”says Kathianne Sellers Williams, MEd, RD, a nutritionist, wellness coach, and personal trainer with Cafe Physique in Atlanta. “You can’t change what you’re not aware of or don’t acknowledge.”

4．________. How strong are your connections with family and friends?
