A
(2018·清江中学高二上检测)
We considered a list of the best American books—but we’d need a whole issue to do them justice.Here are 5 that helped define the national character.Most from a century or so ago，they still entertain，teach and inspire American people.
Moby Dick by Herman Melville
First published in 1851，the book tells the adventure stories of Captain Ahab and his continuous hunting for the white whale and draws us into a universe full of fascinating characters and stories.
The Education of Henry Adams by Henry Adams
Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1918，the book provides insight into Adams’ family，including his experience as a private secretary to his father，minister to England during the American Civil War.
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
When Whitman published Leaves of Grass in 1855，he wanted to define the American experience—sing for the new country in a new voice，reflecting the great changes in the American literary world that had taken place during his lifetime.
Poems by Emily Dickinson
An enthusiastic poet whose works have had a considerable influence on modern poetry，Dickinson’s frequent use of dashes(破折号)，sporadic(零星的) capitalization of nouns，and unusual metaphors(隐喻) has contributed to her reputation as one of the most innovative poets of the 19th­century American literature.
The song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
First published in 1855，this is Longfellow’s most popular and most recognized poem，showing the heroic life and death of a magic American Indian sent by the Great Spirit to guide the nations in the ways of peace.
56．If you want to learn about a magic American Indian，you can choose . A．Moby Dick B．Leaves of Grass
C．Poems D．The song of Hiawatha
答案 D
解析细节理解题。

根据最后一段中的“showing the heroic life and death of a magic American Indian”可知The song of Hiawatha叙述了美洲印第安人的故事，故选D。

57．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Of the five works，four are poems.
B．Walt Whiteman was an enthusiastic poet and singer.
C．The Education of Henry Adams is a non­fiction book.
D．Of the five books，Moby Dick was published last.
答案 C
解析细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“the book provides insight into Adams’ family，including his experience...”可知，它不是小说而是自传，故选C。

B
New research brings some good news for lovers of spicy(辛辣的) foods，after finding that eating hot red chili peppers might help to extend lifespan(寿命)．“Consuming(消耗) hot red chili peppers might reduce death risk，” say Chopan and Littenberg from the research team.In hot peppers，such as Mexico peppers，the strong flavor comes from a compound(复合物)，which does not exist in sweet peppers or onions.Studies have suggested that this compound can offer a wealth of health benefits.
A study of more than 16,000 people in the United States showed that people who consumed red chili peppers had a lower risk of death from all causes over an average of 18 years than those who did not eat the spicy pared with people who did not consume hot red chili peppers，those who did were found to be at 13 percent reduced risk of all­cause death.
For example，a recent study reported by Medical News Today，found that the compound might have the potential to stop breast cancer，while an earlier study linked the compound to a reduced risk of digest system cancers.Still，the available data suggested that hot red chili pepper consumption was most strongly associated with a reduced risk of death from heart disease.
While the researchers are unable to discover the concrete compound by which red chili peppers might extend lifespan，the team says that it is likely due to the compound that is effectively against obesity(肥胖症)．
Overall，the team says that these latest findings support those of the 2015 study，linking spicy food intake to reduced risk of death by showing “a significant decrease in death associated with hot red chili pepper consumption”. However，Chopan and Littenberg note that the earlier study was only conducted in Chinese adults，so the new research makes these findings more credible.
语篇解读本文主要介绍了吃红辣椒可能有助于延长寿命的研究。

58．What is the finding of the new research mainly about?
A．Hot red chili pepper lovers develop no cancers.
B．Hot red chili peppers help control breast illness.
C．Hot red chili peppers decrease heart disease.
D．Hot red chili pepper intake may increase lifespan.
答案 D
解析细节理解题。

根据第一段内容可知，这项新的研究主要是关于吃红辣椒可能有助于延长寿命的。

故选D。

59．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “credible”？
A．Convincing. B．Practical.
C．Encouraging. D．Attractive.
答案 A
解析词义猜测题。

根据最后一段可知，这项研究早期只在中国的成年人身上进行过。

而现在又有了最新的研究更加证实了之前的发现，所以现在的研究使之前的发现更可信了。

convincing令人信服的，有说服力的。

故选A。

60．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The study only goes for American people.
B．Red chili peppers can cure all­cause diseases.
C．The compound protects people against obesity.
D．Onion consuming can reduce death risk.
答案 C
解析推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段中的“the team says that it is likely due to the compound that is effectively against obesity(肥胖症)”可知，这种化合物能有效抵抗人体肥胖。

故选C。

C
Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes? Let’s have a look.
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies.We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants.Sometimes，people may get caught with their pants down.They are found doing something they should not be doing.And，in every family，one person takes control.Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do.Then we say she wears the pants in the family.
Pants usually have pockets to hold things.Money that is likely to be spent quickly
can burn a hole in your pocket.Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants.If you have less money than usual，you may have to tighten your belt.
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much.I really take my hat off to them.Yet，when it comes to my own money，I spend it at the drop of a hat，which means I immediately spend it.
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes.People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are.I dislike such people.
My father is an important person.He runs a big company.He wears a suit and tie，and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms.Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly.But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve.
语篇解读本文介绍了一些和衣服有关的英文表达。

61．Which of the following expressions can show someone is nervous?
A．Get caught with one’s pants down.
B．Have ants in one’s pants.
C．Wear the pants in the family.
D．Burn a hole in one’s pocket.
答案 B
解析细节理解题。

根据第二段第二句“We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants.”可知，当一个人紧张不安时，我们会说“have ants in their pants”，分析选项可知B正确。

62．If we say someone has to tighten his belt，we probably mean he . A．has done something wrong
B．used to live a rich life
C．has put on the wrong pants
D．is short of money
答案 D
解析细节理解题。

根据第三段最后一句“If you have less money than usual，you may have to tighten your belt.”可知，如果你的钱比平常少(缺钱，手头紧)，你可能不得不收紧你的腰带。

故选D。

63．Someone who spends his money at the drop of a hat most probably . A．doesn’t save money
B．earns much money
C．never wastes his money
D．spends more than he earns
答案 A
解析细节理解题。

根据第四段中的“Yet，when it comes to my own money，I spend it at the drop of a hat，which means I immediately spend it.”可知，当作者花自己的钱的时候，会很快就花个精光。

此处指“不节省钱”，故选A。

64．We can use the expression “wear one’s heart on one’s sleeve” to describe someone who .
A．gets angry easily
B．looks very serious
C．shows his feelings openly
D．often wears a suit and tie
答案 C
解析推理判断题。

根据最后一段最后两句“Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly.But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve.”可知，有些不太了解作者的父亲的人认为他太严肃，从不坦率表达自己的感情。

但作者知道自己的父亲“wears his heart on his sleeve” 。

此处的转折词but，表示前后意思是相反的。

由此可判断父亲不是一个严肃的人，而是一个坦率表达自己情感的人。

故选C项。

D
I was always an overweight kid.Whenever I told my family about dreams of becoming
a policewoman，they would say，“Well，you’re going to have to lose some weight if you want to do t hat.” I knew they were right，and I felt ashamed of my body.But as time went on，I didn’t lose weight—I gained it.
At thirty­three，I was five feet two inches tall and weighed over 300 pounds.Needless to say，I hadn’t become a police officer.And of course，there was no way I could.I was too old，too heavy—it was too ridiculous to ever consider.But deep down，it was really what I wanted to do.Whenever I saw a cop，I felt the same longing I’d had as a child.
One day I looked into the mirror，and I truly saw myself as I was—a person with a good heart，with worthy dreams，who had given up on herself.I faced the woman in the mirror and asked，“How will you ever know what you can do if you don’t try？”
I decided to go for it.I took the first step：the civil service exam.But tes t­taking has never been a strength of mine，and I failed.While it is possible to join the police force without passing the civil service exam，it is decidedly more
difficult.It would have been easy to give up then，but I was determined to pursue my dream.
So，I contacted the police department in my community；I told the chief of police about my desire to join the force，and he asked to meet with me.I was very nervous about the face­to­face meeting.I kept reminding myself that what mattered was my sincerity，and my belief in myself.Still，I was consumed with fear and thought：he’ll take one look at me and then politely tell me，“Don’t call us.We’ll call you！”
But it didn’t happen that way at all.He simply accepted me，inviting me to join the police auxiliary group.
I had to set a uniform.Anticipating this task unnerved me.
Finally，I summoned enough courage to act.With sweaty palms，I tried on uniforms，but I couldn’t find any that fit me.Eventually I had to go to a tailor and have a uniform altered.How uncomfortable this was for me.While the tailor，an older man，was measuring and tucking my uniform，I could feel the temperature rising in the dressing room.I was consumed with humiliation.
Soon the chief recommended me for the thirteen­week training program at the North East Regional Police Institute.This school was demanding，both academically and physically.You had to learn criminal law，take CPR exams and learn to use handcuffs(手铐)．
But the day I’d been dreaming finally arrived.Working in pairs，we were going to learn how to use handcuffs.I pretended not to notice when I was the last one to be chosen as a partner.Then one person put his hands behind his back，while the partner received instructions on how to handcuff the other’s wrists together.The instructor walked around，checking out each team and commenting on them in front of the entire class.Because of my size，I couldn’t get my wrists together the right way so that my partner could handcuff me.The instructor was making his way over to us，and I was so anxious that the sweat was pouring down my face.I could tell my partner was uncomfortable，too，as he tried his best to coach me on ways to get my wrists closer.I prayed to somehow become invisible.But the instructor didn’t pass over us.Instead，he pointed out our problem to the entire class.
I made it through the thirteen weeks.Although test­taking and risk­taking were my constant companions，I passed all final exams with flying colors.
“How are you going to know what you can do until you try？” has become my
motto.Since that time，I have let myself dream freely and pursue the dreams that really move me.It is truly amazing what you can do—if you’ll only try.
