话题:个人情况难度星级:☆☆
(2019·陕西西安中学期中)
Stephen Hawking,the brightest star in the firmament(天空) of science,whose insights shaped modern cosmology(宇宙论) and inspired global audiences in the millions,has died aged 76.His family released a statement in the early hours of Wednesday morning confirming his death at his home in Cambridge.Hawking’s children,Lucy,Robert and Tim said in a statement,“We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today.He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years to come.His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humor inspired people across the world.”
When Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuron disease(运动神经元病) in 1963 at the age of 21,doctors expected him to live for only two more years.But Hawking had a form of the disease that progressed more slowly than usual.He survived for more than half a century and long enough for his disability to define him.His popularity would surely have been diminished without it.Those who live in the shadow of death are often those who live most.
For Hawking,the early diagnosis of his terminal disease,and witnessing the death from leukaemia(白血病) of a boy who he knew in hospital,ignited(点燃) a fresh sense of pursue.“Although there was a cloud hanging over my future,I found,to my surprise,that I was enjoying life in the present more than before.I began to make progress with my research,” he
once said.Embarking(着手) on his career in earnest,he declared,“My goal is simple.It is a complete understanding of the universe,why it is as it is and why it exists at all.”
18.The following statements about Hawking is true EXCEPT that .
A.Hawking had three kids according to the passage
B.Hawking’s intelligence and spirits influenced enormous people all over the world
C.Hawking’s disease became worse quickly after being diagnosed
D.almost all his life was devoted to the exploration of the universe in spite of his severe disease

根据第二段前两句“When Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuron disease(运动神经元病) in 1963 at the age of 21,doctors expected him to live for only two more years.But Hawking had a form of the disease that progressed more slowly than usual.”可知,C项“霍金的病在被诊断出来后迅速恶化”表述不正确。
故选C。

A.Increased.
B.Decreased.
C.Gained.
D.Disappeared.

话题:现代技术难度星级:☆☆☆
(2018·河北武邑中学五模)
Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle.Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem.Over the past 10 years,development in technology has moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality.Now,two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.
The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype(原型) of its flying bicycle.Grant Stapleton,marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics,says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly.“It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed,” he adds.
Mr Stapleton says safety was the company’s main concern.He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors(交叠式旋翼) to power the vehicle.
The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike,which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.
In New Zealand,the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device,called Jetpack(喷气背包).It can fly for more than 30 minutes,up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.
Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company.He said Jetpack “is built around safety from the start”.In his words,“reliability is the most important element of it.We have safety built into the actual structure itself,very similar to a Formula One racing car.”
Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams.Mr Coker says it also has a parachute(降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency.“It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot,”he adds.Mr Coker says Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.
21.We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike .
A.can hardly get in and out of small spaces quickly
B.can fly for over 30 minutes,up to 1,000 meters high
C.has been used by the police and emergency rescue teams
D.can be transported quickly after being folded and packed
答案 D
解+析细节理解题。
根据第二段中的“the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly.‘It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed’”可知,Hoverbike能够很快地进出小空间。
它可以快速地跨洲移动,因为它可以折叠和包装。
分析选项可知,D项正确。
22.The writer uses the example of Formula One racing car to show that .
A.Jetpack is very safe and reliable
B.Jetpack’s engine is powerful
C.Jetpack’s actual structure is unique
D.Jetpack can reach a great speed and height
答案 A
解+析推理判断题。
根据第六段中的“...reliability is the most important element of it.We have safety built into the actual structure itself...”可知,安全性、可靠性是最重要的考虑因素,故选A项。
23.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “”.
A.the jet stream
B.the engine
C.Jetpack
D.the parachute
答案 D
解+析代词指代题。
根据最后一段中的“Mr Coker says it also has a parachute(降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency.‘It starts to work at very low altitude...’”可知,由此可知it指的是parachute(降落伞)。
故选D项。
话题:科普知识难度星级:☆☆☆
The color of food might affect just how much you want to eat them,but what about the birds in your neighborhood?Would they care what color their food is?Try this out for a science fair project,or just to learn something new while making your local birds happy.
Begin this experiment with the question “What color of birdseed,if any,will birds like the most?”,and then make a hypothesis(假设) based on your question.An example might be “Birds will eat more green birdseed than other colors of birdseed.”
You should get several bird feeders.Purchase birdseed that is very light in color.To color the birdseed,pour it into a bowl and then add food coloring that you can purchase from the store.Mix
them up well with a spoon and continue to add coloring until all the seed is colored.You should sample at least a few colors and have one feeder with seed that has not been colored—this is called the control and it will give you something to compare your results to.Now just hang them up outside in the same location,and wait for your feathered friends to show up.This works best in an area where birds are used to feeding from a feeder—it can take birds over a week to find new feeders.
Observe your bird feeders whenever possible,and keep track of how much seed is in each bird feeder each day.A ruler is helpful for this.You might also want to take pictures of the feeders and keep track of what kind of birds visit each feeder.Over time,you should be able to see if one color of seed gets eaten more than others.
Once your experiment is done,you will be able to go back to your hypothesis and see if it is correct.Remember,it’s not bad if your hypothesis was wrong.The main thing is that you’ve learned something from your experiment,and hopefully you had some fun doing it.
24.What’s the purpose of this experiment?
A.To make local birds happy.
B.To see what color birds like most.
C.To see if the color of food affects birds.
D.To find how local birds feed themselves.
答案 C
解+析细节理解题。
根据第一段第一句和第二句可知,该实验的目的是看鸟食的颜色对鸟的食量有没有影响。
25.What is the most important about the bird feeders?
A.They are filled with some water.
B.They are placed in secret places.
C.They are painted in different colors.
D.They are all the same size and type.
答案 D
解+析推理判断题。
该实验的主体是鸟食颜色,所以只有鸟食颜色是变量,而其他的因素都应该是固定的,由此可以推断出,喂鸟器的大小和类型应该是一样的。
26.What’s the second step for this experiment?
A.Observing bird feeders.
B.Raising a question.
C.Collecting all the data.
D.Making a hypothesis.
答案 D
解+析细节理解题。
根据第二段中的“Begin...,...and then make a hypothesis...”可知,实验的第二步是作一个假设。
27.How does the author prove his view?
A.By giving examples.
B.By doing experiments.
C.By doing questionnaire survey.
D.By searching for reference.
答案 B
解+析推理判断题。
本文具体介绍了一个实验,所以作者是通过做实验来证明观点的。
Ⅳ.七选五
Any woman can be strong.I don’t just mean strong in mental aspect. 28 You may think that strong women are born,not made.You may be thinking of Olympic weightlifters lifting dozens of kilos over their heads,or of bodybuilders posing.
29 It is a requirement for everyday life.Strength is what you need if you carry your luggage.You need to be strong to pick your child up off the floor.And,most of all—especially as you get older—you need strength simply to stand up without falling over.
As we age,we progressively lose muscle mass,which can make us weaker. 30 We might have trouble going up and down steps,picking up something heavy,even standing up from a seat.But while ageing is unavoidable,building muscle through strength training is meaningful.
A programme that is becoming more and more commonly used is Starting Strength.The basic Starting Strength programme consists of four different lifts.Trainees learn these lifts step by step.
31 Three times a week they perform three of the lifts.If they are successful in a period,they then add 2.25kg in the next period.
But barbell(杠铃) lifting doesn’t just offer physical strength;it also gives women emotional and mental confidence. 32
A.But strength is not just about appearances.
B.I mean simply being able to fight against gravity.
C.Being strong doesn’t mean having a strong heart,either.
D.However,this condition can be improved by working out.
E.Most people begin to learn the lifts using an empty bar weighing 20kg.
F.In daily life,the actions we take for granted become more and more difficult.
G.However you feel about your body,you can become the strongest version of yourself.
28.答案 B
解+析设空处位于段中,衔接上下文。
根据空前句“I don’t just mean strong in mental aspect.”可知,强健并不仅仅意味着在精神层面上的强健。
根据行文逻辑可知,设空处应是对strong的解释,且与空前句表达的意思相对。
B项中的“I mean simply”正好与空前句“I don’t mean”意思相对,符合此处语境。
故选B。
29.答案 A
解+析设空处位于段首,承接上段并开启下文。
上段末尾提到了举重运动员举重和健美爱好者摆姿势展示肌肉的场景,这些都是表面可以看出来的力量,A项中的“not just about appearances”是对此的承接,且根据本段中的“Strength is what you need if you carry your luggage.”和“need strength”可知,本段与strength有关。
A项中的“strength is...”正好与之匹配,且空后的It指代的就是该项中的strength。
故选A。
30.答案 F
解+析设空处位于段中,应为过渡句,起承上启下的作用。
空前句“As we age,we progressively lose muscle mass,which can make us weaker.”指出随着年龄的增长,我们会逐渐失去力量,这让我们变得越来越弱。
空后句举例说明了我们的某些日常行动变得困难。
F 项中的“the actions”引出了下文,且其中的difficult也与空后句中的trouble相呼应。
故选F。
31.答案 E
解+析设空处位于段中,衔接上下文。
根据本段内容可知,本段与“four different lifts”有关。
再由空前的“step by step”和下文的“in the next period”可知,设空处应该是介绍举重的第一阶段。
E项也出现了“lifts”,且其中的“begin to learn”与下文的“the next period”联系紧密。
故选E。
32.答案G
解+析设空处位于段尾,起总结作用。
上文提到了举杠铃的好处,根据行文逻辑可知,此
处应总结其好处。
G项中的“成为最强壮有力的自己”正是在总结举杠铃的好处。
故选G。
Ⅴ.完形填空
Rarely do teachers know whether they make permanent impressions on students.I know because it 33 to my mother,a retired teacher,when she turned on the 34 one morning in 2003.
The story began in the mid-1960s.My mom was teaching 35 at Burlingame Junior High.I knew little about her job at the time except for a 36 student,Tamara,who was 37 writing stories as a seventh-grader in my mom’s class.
I was visiting her in 2003 when my mom came out of her room with a 38 look on her face.She’d been listening to the radio,and she had 39 an interview with a best-selling French author,Tamara Pierce—the same name as that of the gifted student my mom had taught nearly four 40 before.My mother 41 :Could it be the same person?
I 42 the Internet and quickly found the website for the author.My heart began to beat rapidly when I 43 it at the bottom—here was 44 that my mother had taught a now-famous writer!
“I should 45 my writing career to my English teacher.(Bless you,Mrs Jacobsen!)”
My mother’s name was Mary Jacobsen.
My mother’s immediate response to this 46 was quiet.She was always kind and extremely 47 .I mention this story not only because it’s a wonderful 48 of the influence teachers can have without being 49 of it.It also makes me see my mom 50 .This story makes me consider how nice it would be if we all let our favorite 51 teachers know their work 52 .
33.A.fell B.appealed
C.happened
D.applied
答案 C
解+析根据上下文可知,这里指的是这种情况发生(happen)在了妈妈身上。
fall to (职责、责任)落在……身上;appeal to上诉,吸引,呼吁;apply to适用于,运用。
34.A.radio B.television
C.c-o/mputer
D.heat
答案 A
