2019届高考英语二轮复习考点解析卷：(二)含答案解析
2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷（二）1、The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs (地画) in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru. It is ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals and stylized human-like forms. The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920s. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers,maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world. There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta, United States (Mississippi and California), Chile, Holivia and in other countries. But the Nazca geoglyphs, becauseof their numbers, characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological (考古学的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蚀) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, combined with the existence of lighter-colored subsoil beneath the desert surface, providea vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.1.What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?A.They were built as a big map.B.They were formed by nature.C.They are ancient lines in caves.D.They are huge markings in a desert.2.How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.3.Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?A.Because of the wind at ground level.B.Because of the existence of soft soil.C.Because of the climate and geography.D.Because of the thick sand on the top.4.What does the underlined word “eternal” probably mean?A.Non-stop.B.Ever-lasting.C.Real-life.D.High-end.2、Camp All-StarOne of a Kind Summer Camps for KidsWelcome to Camp All-Star, your No. 1 summer sports camp for kids!

A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.In their research, Professor Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (调查) 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.Obviously, it’s important to consider individual(个人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss. So next time you’re hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes(简历) from female candidates a harder look.1.What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?A.Women are worse than men.B.Men take almost all high positions.C.There is a huge gap between genders.D.Women might behave better in every field.2.Which of the follo wing can best replace the underlined word ‘‘inherently” in paragraph 4?A.properlyB.potentiallyC.naturallyD.normally3.Which of the following may be the best title of this text?A.How We Can Figure Out The Boss.B.Why Women Are Better Than MenC.Why Women Make Better BossesD.How We Can Tell Gender Difference4.Who might have special interest in this article?A.Job hunters.B.Employers.C.Employees.D.University students.4、In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example,stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品)later in their trip. In department stores,the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品)section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers' senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.1.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A.To save customers time.B.To show they are high quality foods.C.To help sell junk food.D.To sell them at discount prices.2.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A.Opening the store early in the morning.B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.C.Inviting customers to play music.D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.3.What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B.The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C.An ocean view is much to the customers' taste.D.A good first impression increases sales.4.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.C.To report researches on customer behavior.D.To show dishonest business practices.5、How to Excel in Poetry WritingIf you are serious about your poetry,then you should consider the suggestions presented here.①__________ Many poets have also used these tips to make poetry publishing possible in their life.Write Every Day.

Also, the students who are 6 at pronunciation may be afraid that it will embarrass their classmates if they help 7 their mistakes.If you believe your pronunciation is good enough to 8 because it is good enough for your teacher and other students, you may be 9 when you actually go to a foreign country.

2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习第二部分题型突破专题12阅读理解第2讲推理判断题一对点特训(xx·山西大学附属中学高三月考)Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes(运动员). Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has shown that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback(反馈) to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷) in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not bee work for children. The oute of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting, young athletes may be worried more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the oute and find fault with youngsters' performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the oute. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates learning and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.体裁：说明文题材：文化教育主题：正面评价儿童运动语篇导读：文章说明了在儿童运动时，父母以及教练的评价反馈的重要性，建议我们在孩子运动时多作正面评价，少批评。

AAs a young man，Al was a skilled artist，a potter with a wife and two fine sons.One night，his older son developed a severe stomachache.Thinking it was only some common intestinal(肠的) disorder，neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously.But the boy died suddenly that night.Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation，he always felt he was guilty.To make matters worse，his wife left him a short time later，leaving him alone with his sixyearold younger son.The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could stand，and he turned to alcohol for help.In time，Al became an alcoholic.As the alcoholism progressed，Al began to lose everything he possessed—his land，house，etc..Finally Al died alone in a small bar.Hearing of Al’s death，I thought，“What a totally wasted life! What a complete failure！”As time went by，I began to revalue my earlier rough judgment.I knew Al’s now adult son，Ernie.He is one of the kindest，most caring，and most loving men I have ever known.I saw the love between Ernie and his children，thinking that kindness and love had to come from somewhere.I hadn’t heard Ernie talk much about his father.One day，I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person.Ernie said quietly，“As a child until I left home at 18，Al came into my room every night，gave me a kiss and said，‘Love you，son.’．”Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure.He had not left any material possessions behind.But he had been a kind and loving father，and left behind his best love.【解题导语】这是一篇记叙文，一个在作者眼中极其失败的人却是一位伟大的父亲，并且培养出了一个极其善良且充满爱心的儿子。

A(2015·宿迁市三模)Depression can be a devastating illness，plaguing millions of people worldwide with feelings of sadness，hopelessness，and fatigue.Despite numerous antidepressant drugs，as many as a third of patients don’t respond to medication.This has forced doctors to be more creative in finding different treatments for the condition.In the past two decades，researchers have tied depression to a seemingly unrelated condition：inflammation(炎症)，the body’s natural response to stress.It could rise from injury or inflection，or even emotional issues like an unhappy marriage or problems at work.Some amount of inflammation is generally beneficial，as it increases production of cytokines (致癌因子)，proteins that help us heal and protect us from the effects of overwork.But excessive cytokine levels，and the inflammation they bring on，could come at a cost.A number of studies suggest that high levels of cytokines could contribute to depression.Cytokines can reach the brain several ways：directly through the blood-brain barrier or indirectly by binding to nerve fibers elsewhere，which send signals to the brain to produce the inflammation molecules.In the brain，cytokines can disturb the production and release of several important signaling chemicals，including serotonin，dopamine and glutamate，which help control emotion，appetite，sleep，learning and memory.It’s thought that a lack of serotonin activity in the brain causes depression; most antidepressants increase the activity.But cytokines also have been shown to activate stress hormone signaling in the brain，which can also serve to develop depression.With all the evidence implicating inflammation in depression，doctors have been anxious to test antiinflammatory drugs as a potential treatment.Four small students published between 2006 and 2012 by research groups in Europe and Iran found that adults diagnosed with depression who took aspirin or another anti-inflammatory drug called C elecoxib，along with an antidepressant，got more relief from feelings of sadness，hopelessness，guilt and fatigue compared with those taking an antidepressant alone.However，Andrew Miller，a professor of psychiatry at Emory University，thought something was amiss in these small，limited studies.None of them looked at whether the participants had to have high levels of cytokines before into the trap of viewing inflammatory drugs.“Unfortunately，much of the field has fallen into the trap of viewing inflammation as the beall，endall，”Miller says.He and his colleagues wanted to see whether the effect of these drugs was limited to the depression patients with high cytokine levels，or if it helped all people diagnosed with depression.【解题导语】这是一篇医疗文章阅读。

五、推理判断——观点态度题(2018·浙江，C)As cultural symbols go，the American car is quite young.The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago，with the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线) on September 27,1908.Only eleven cars were produced the next month.But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.Modern America was born on the road，behind a wheel.The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture：the roadside diner，the billboard，the motel，even the hamburger.For most of the last century，the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds.The road novel，the road movie，these are the most typical American ideas，born of abundant petrol，cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system，the largest public works project in history.In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Since then，this society has moved onward，never looking back，as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power.The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster.In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.The problems of excessive(过度的) energy consumption，climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L．Friedman.He fears the worst，but hopes for the best.Friedman points out that the green economy(经济)is a chance to keep American strength.“The ability to design，build and export green technologies for producing clean water，clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”28．Why is hamburger mentioned in Paragraph 2?A．To explain Americans’ love for travelling by car.B．To show the influence of cars on American culture.C．To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.D．To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system.答案 B解析细节理解题。

It is a yearly event on 23rd April, organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO), to promote reading.In the United Kingdom, the day is recognized on the first Thursday in March. On 3rd March, 2016 children of all ages in the U．K. will come together to appreciate reading. Sometimes, reading a modern novel can be tough (Booker Prize winner The Luminaries runs to 832 pages! ), especially if reading is not your strong suit. In fact, one in six people in the U．K. never pick up a book because they've experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure.The Galaxy Quick Reads series are designed to introduce reluctant readers to bestselling short funny novels, which bring the joy of reading without demanding hours of concentrated time. They cover a range of subjects, from romance to comedy.Jojo Moyes's Paris for One is a romantic adventure in which 26－year－old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy, neglectful boyfriend. When he fails to turn up, she is alone in the city. That is, until she meets Fabien, who shows her the charms of the French capital—in more ways than one.Adele Geras's moving story Out In The Dark was set in World War I, in which young Rob came back from the battlefields. Determined to find the officer's widow to return the photo of her and their daughter that the captain kept with him, he traveled several thousand miles but never gave up.Dead Man Talking is a fantastic tale of Pat, who had a terrible fight with his best friend, Joe, ten years ago—but now hears that Joe is dead, and he must attend his funeral. But Joe is not going quietly that very night—he's lying in his coffin being very chatty indeed.体裁：说明文题材：介绍说明主题：《银河快速阅读》系列语篇导读：有些书让不擅长阅读的读者望而却步。

(浙江、江苏)2019高考英语二轮复习 题型重组第二十一组
（浙江、江苏）2019高考英语二轮复习题型重组第二十一组Ⅰ.阅读理解More and more people take part in marathons these days—over 30，000 people will run the London Marathon this weekend, for instance.But it’s not just the 26 miles and 385 yards that could be a daunting prospect.“I have to admit to being completely frustrated by the blocking and for 18—19 miles was just keeping away from people and being held up，”one participant grumbled after the 2012 London Marathon.“I had to overtake a lot of people and ended up with bruised(淤肿的) forearms from all the elbows，”said another.How do such crowding problems arise, and could they be reduced? Some researchers believe that we can find the answers through a more familiar system in which jams appear—road traffic flow.Martin Treiber, of the Technical University of Dresden in Germany, has previously developed models for traffic flow.One of the first attempts to model traffic flow was made in the 1950s by James Lighthill and his collaborator Gerard Whitham of Manchester University.They considered the traffic as a kind of liquid flowing down a pipe, and looked at how the flow changes as the fluid gets denser(浓稠)．At first the flow rate increases as the density increases, since you simply get more stuff through in the same period of time.But if the density becomes too high，there’s a risk of jams, and the flow rate drops sharply.Treiber’s model of a marathon uses this same principle that the flow rate first increases and then decreases as the density of runners increases, thanks to an sudden switch from free to crowded flow. He assumes that there is a range of different preferred speeds for different runners, which each maintains throughout the race.With just these factors, Treiber can calculate the flow rate of runners, knowing the “carrying capacity”(承载能力) at each point on the route.This allows Treiber to figure out how blocking might depend on the race conditions—for example, for different starting procedures.Some marathons start by letting all the runners set off at once (which means those at the back have to wait until those in front have moved forward)．Others assign runners to various groups according to ability, and let them start in a series of waves.Treiber has applied the model to the annual Rennsteig halfmarathon in central Germany，which attracts around 6，000 participants.The traditional route had to be changed in 2013，because the police were no longer willing to close a road to ensure that runners could cross safely.It could pass either over a 60m wooden bridge or through a tunnel.Treiber used his model to predict the likely blocking caused in the various options.The model predicted that a mass start would risk an overload of runners if the bridge were to be used.Only by moving the starting point further back from the bridge could the danger be avoided—and even then, if some of the numbers assumed in the model were only slightly inaccurate, there was still a risk of jams at the bridge.On the other hand, no dangerous blocking seemed likely for the tunnel route.The run organizers consulted Treiber’s team, and eventually chose this option.1．What is the worst thing while running a marathon?A．The long distance.B．Too many participants.C．The dangerous blocking.D．Serious injuries in forearms.2．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．James Lighthill is the first expert trying to model traffic flow.B．The denser the flow is, the faster the flow rate becomes.C．The flow rate increases in the beginning because fewer people passed together.D．The flow rate increases first and then decreases later when the flow is too denser.3．What is NOT true about the Rennsteig?A．It has much less participants than the London Marathon in 2014.B．It has a shorter distance than the London Marathon.C．The route was changed because the traditional one is not safe any longer.D．The participants running this marathon will pass a tunnel because this choice is safer.4．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Make a comparison between marathon and road traffic.B．Running a marathon is somewhat dangerous if it is not well organized.C．Introduce a new technology to solve the blocking problem in marathon.D．Some advice for people who are to run a marathon.Ⅱ.任务型阅读A．Get started!B．Forget your failures.C．Find and use your positive voice.D．Think about how far you have come.E．Spend time with people who inspire you.F．Accept failure as a positive learning experience.Realizing your dreams is not a matter of possibility; it’s a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things.You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don’t feel like doing anything.This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don’t head it off and take action.Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you.1．________This is by far the most important tip in this article, because in the end, all of the other tips in the world won’t make as much of a difference as this simple and timeless instruction：Sit down and get a move on! Do you feel the push-back of laziness? Reading more about motivation won’t help. Reviewing your to-do lists won’t help. Only doing actually helps get everything going. So stop thinking about how hard the task is going to be or how long it’s going to take you.Not starting is failing.Tell yourself, “As soon as I get going, I’ll feel more motivated.”And you’ll realize it’s not nearly as hard as you thought it would be.2．________Be aware of your selftalk and stay confident.You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice.A voice that will consider your aim as not just a possibility, but a probability; A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses selfbelief as its driving force; A voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream.Tell yourself over and over again that you can do it. See what effect it has. Persist with this kind of possibility and eventually you’ll feel better about whatever it is you want to get done, and you’ll even start to fool yourself into believing it’s true.3．________There is no better way to recharge yourself for improvement than spending time with someone who motivates you.They are smart and can always encourage you to be better.Study their qualities.Study their habits.Surround yourself with them, talk to them, learn from them; they are already living and producing results at a level you admire and expect pare stories, successes and failures.Let their inner light guide you.4．________You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it.Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done.Think about it.Write down your past successes.Consider using a journal to keep track of them.You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results.It’s a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come.Be happy with your progress and move on.5．________Do not judge unsuccessful attempts and mistakes as an indication of your future potential, but as part of the growth process.Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime.When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it.Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent.And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success.Push through!Ⅲ.书面表达假定你是李华，将于2016年7月从新华外语学校毕业。

2019年高考浙江卷英语试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）AZachariah Fike has an unusual hobby.He finds old military（军队的）medals for sale in antique stores and on the Internet.But unlike most collectors,Zac tracks down the medals’rightful owners, and returns them.His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother,a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A.G.Piccoli,found in an antique shop.Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart-he earned one himself in a war as a soldier.So when his mother gave him the medal,he knew right away what he had to do.Through the Internet,Zac tracked down Corrado’s sister Adeline Rockko.But when he finally reached her,the woman flooded him with questions:"Who are you？What antique shop？" However,when she hung up,she regretted the way she had handled the call.So she called Zac back and apologized.Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown,N.Y."At that point,I knew she meant business,"Zac says."To drive eight hours to come to see me."The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown.Corrado,a translator for the Army during WWII,was killed in action in Europe.Before hearing from Zac,Adeline hadn’t realized the medal was missing.Like many military medals,the one Zac’s mother had found was a family treasure."This medal was very precious to my parents.Only on special occasions（场合）would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands,"Adeline says.As a child,Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so significant.“But as I grew older,”Adeline says,"and missed my brother more and more,I realized that was the only thing we had left." Corrado Piccoli’s Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown.Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama.Since he first reunited Corrado’s medal,Zac says his record is now5for5.21.Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself？A.In the army.B.In an antique shop.C.From his mother.D.From Adeline Rockko.22.What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him？A.She was very impolite.B.She was serious about the medal.C.She suspected his honesty.D.She came from a wealthy family.23.What made Adeline treasure the Purple Heart?A.Her parents’advice.B.Her knowledge of antiques.C.Her childhood dream.D.Her memory of her brother.BMoney with no strings attached.It’s not something you see every day.But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month,a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, "Give What You Can,Take What You Need."People quickly caught on.And while many took dollars,many others pinned their own cash to the board.“People of all ages,races,and socio-economic（社会经济的）backgrounds gave and took,”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox,which created the project."We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars."Most of the bills on the board were singles,but a few people left fives,tens and even twenties.The video clip（片段）shows one man who had found a$20bill pinning it to the board.“What I can say for the folks that gave the most,is that they were full of smiles,”Bridges said.“There’s a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most."Most people who took dollars took only a few,but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign,Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy.He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.“After all,everyone has bad days and good days,"he said.“Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”24.What does the expression"money with no strings attached"in paragraph1mean?A.Money spent without hesitation.B.Money not legally made.C.Money offered without conditions.D.Money not tied together.25.What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride?A.Women tended to be more sociable.B.The activity attracted various people.C.Economic problems were getting worse.D.Young couples needed financial assistance.26.Why did Bridges carry out the project?A.To do a test on people’s morals.B.To raise money for his company.C.To earn himself a good reputation.D.To promote kindness and sympathy.CCalifornia has lost half its big trees since the1930s,according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor（因素）.The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by50percent on more than46, 000square miles of California forests,the new study finds.No area was spared or unaffected,from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles.In the Sierra high country,the number of big trees has fallen by more than55percent;in parts of southern California the decline was nearly75percent.Many factors contributed to the decline,said Patrick Mclntyre,an ecologist who was the lead author of the study.Woodcutters targeted big trees.Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources（资源）.But in comparing a study of California forests done in the1920s and1930s with another one between2001and2010,Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed,taking into account such things as rainfall,air temperature,dampness of soil,and the timing of snowmelt（融雪）.Since the1930s,Mclntyre said,the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures,which cause trees to lose more water to the air,and earlier snowmelt,which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.27.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B.The increasing variety of California big trees.C.The distribution of big trees in California forests.D.The influence of farming on big trees in California.28.Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A.Ecological studies of forests.B.Banning woodcutting.C.Limiting housing development.D.Fire control measures.29.What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?A.Inadequate snowmelt.B.A longer dry season.C.A warmer climate.D.Dampness of the air.30.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.California's Forests:Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B.Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC.Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D.Patrick Mclntyre:Grow More Big Trees in California第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。

四、推理判断——细节推断题(2018·浙江五校联考)Ninety percent of Americans drive to work every day，although working from home is on the rise.If you’re lacking in topics of conversation at a party，chatting about your commute is a pretty safe bet.According to a recent study，driving for more than two hours each day can steadily decrease the IQ of middle-aged drivers.The Sunday Times of London detailed the study，which looked into the lifestyle choices of over 500,000 Britons between the ages of 37 and 73.When looking at the data of the 93,000 participants who drove more than two to three hours per day，the study found a noticeable dropoff in brainpower，measured by intelligence and memory tests.The study found similar results with participants who took part in several hours similarly sedentary(久坐的) activity，like television watching.As it turns out，stimulating activity stimulates your brain，while non-stimulating activity，well，doesn’t stimulate your brain.“Cognitive(认知的) decline is measurable over five years because it can happen fast in middle-aged and older people.This is associated with lifestyle factors such as smoking and bad diet—and now with time spent driving，”Kishran Bakrania，a medical epidemiologist at the University of Leicester told The Times.Fortunately for most Americans，the average commute time was recorded at approximately 26.5 minutes according to the 2015 United States Census.And if you think that the way to pump up your IQ is through brain games，think again.Just try and avoid those long hours on the road if possible，and if you happen to have free time on your commute，be sure to use it wisely.1．According to the passage，which of the following may be of help to our brainpower?

A(2016·浙江大学附中高考全真模拟)Surprisingly，no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals，still less the content or quality of that education.Proper records are just not kept.We know that more than 850，000 children go through hospital each year，and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital.We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1，000 children in hospital.Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country.It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher.A further quarter have only a part-time teacher.The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off.From this survey，one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hours a day.Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all.They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school.If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied，and the latter is often all the teachers can do.The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady”or just “the helper”．Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work.Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school.Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching，and are told to catch up as best as they can.Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly.But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.【解题导语】文章讲述了因病住院学生的教育问题，老师太少，无法保证学生的学习，作者对于这一现象很不满意。

A(2015· 淮安市第二次调研测试)Fuel Cell Technology for CarsFill her up with hydrogen? That’s what some California motorists may be saying soon，as car makers try to speed up production of zero emission(零排放) cars to meet state requirements in the near future.Beneath the skin of this ordinary looking Hondas FCX Concept Vehicle sits an electrochemical reactor：a handbuilt，astronomically expensive power_plant known as a fuel cell.It’s expected to be running ordinary family cars on California’s roads within three years.So what exactly is a fuel cell，anyway? Why are governments，private businesses and academic institutions cooperating to develop and produce them? A fuel cell，very simply described，is a power generator，making electricity through the combination of hydrogen and oxygen.Fuel cells generate electrical power quietly and efficiently，without pollution.Unlike power sources that use fossil fuels，the only byproducts from an operating fuel cell are heat and water.To be more technical about it，a hydrogen atom with its one electron，attempts to pass through a fuel cell membrane(膜) to unite with an oxygen atom.The membrane allows only the hydrogen proton(质子) to pass through，forcing its electron to run around the membrane to catch up with the proton on the other side.This creates electricity，water，and heat，but no exhaust emissions.If the fuel cell is powered with pure hydrogen，it has the potential to be up to 80percent efficient.That is，it turns 80 percent of the energy content of the hydrogen into electrical energy.However，we still need to turn the electrical energy into mechanical work.This is accomplished by the electric motor.A reasonable number for the efficiency of the motor is about 80 percent.So we have 80percent efficiency in generating electricity，and 80percent efficiency turning it into mechanical power.That gives an overall efficiency of about 64 percent.Honda’s FCX concept vehicle reportedly has 60percent energy efficiency，which is twice or even three times more efficient than usual cars.But in spite of all the advantages described above，experts say，“We still have technical challenges getting this extremely complex system to work properly，the way customers expect it to work.There are challenges in using new fuels，and providing the new fuel basic facilities.And before fuel cell vehicles hit the road，there will have to be a network of hydrogen stations that will allow drivers to fill up with the flammable gas，under 36hundred pounds of pressure.”【解题导语】 本文主要讲的是未来的新能源汽车的一些情况。

AAs a young man，Al was a skilled artist，a potter with a wife and two fine sons.One night，his older son developed a severe stomachache.Thinking it was only some common intestinal(肠的) disorder，neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously.But the boy died suddenly that night.Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation，he always felt he was guilty.To make matters worse，his wife left him a short time later，leaving him alone with his sixyearold younger son.The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could stand，and he turned to alcohol for help.In time，Al became an alcoholic.As the alcoholism progressed，Al began to lose everything he possessed—his land，house，etc..Finally Al died alone in a small bar.Hearing of Al’s death，I thought，“What a totally wasted life! What a complete failure！”As time went by，I began to revalue my earlier rough judgment.I knew Al’s now adult son，Ernie.He is one of the kindest，most caring，and most loving men I have ever known.I saw the love between Ernie and his children，thinking that kindness and love had to come from somewhere.I hadn’t heard Ernie talk much about his father.One day，I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person.Ernie said quietly，“As a child until I left home at 18，Al came into my room every night，gave me a kiss and said，‘Love you，son.’．”Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure.He had not left any material possessions behind.But he had been a kind and loving father，and left behind his best love.【解题导语】 这是一篇记叙文，一个在作者眼中极其失败的人却是一位伟大的父亲，并且培养出了一个极其善良且充满爱心的儿子。

BIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams，the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life，but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage，but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners，but a good sense.It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand，a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But behavior of politeness is by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However，misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver，whose manners are faultless，told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately，modern drivers can’t even learn to drive，let alone master the roadmanship(公路驾车技能)．Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more giveandtake(互谅互让) from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讨论了行车礼貌的问题。
