2020届新高考英语二轮对点集训：第四板块 第三部分 概要写作
第四板块第三部分概要写作Writing 1阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In 1971, China's first subway line in Beijing was formally put into operation. By December 2017, there were 171 subway lines stretching over 5,083 km in 35 cities on the Chinese mainland. Currently, China has the longest urban railway network in the world, which is predicted to surpass 6,000 km by 2020.The rapid development of China's urban railway system reflects the country's growing economic strength. The system has experienced the fastest growth over the past 15 years due to the investment of wealth accumulated from the reform and opening up in urban infrastructure construction. An urban railway system is expensive to build, with one kilometer of subway costing approximately 700 million yuan(about $110 million). A city without economic strength cannot develop such an expensive system.The progress in urban railway construction technologies has also contributed to the fast expansion of the infrastructure. Subway construction involves building underground tunnels, laying rails, manufacturing trains and the operation and management of subways. It is a systematic project which not only covers traditional infrastructure building but also modern electronics and information technology. China's railway construction technologies are the best in the world, with Chinese subway trains now exported to developed countries including the United States.The expansion of Chinese cities has made it necessary to develop urban railway systems. Since the start of the reform and opening up, a large number of people have migrated to cities and the number of private cars has increased dramatically, resulting in serious traffic congestion. Building subways has become an important way to solve this problem.This year marks the 41st anniversary of the launch of China's reform and opening up, and the rapid development of China's urban railway system exemplifies the achievements made by the policy. As China furthers its opening up, it will continue to maintain steady and rapid economic growth and railway systems will be available in more and more cities.Writing 1The past few decades has witnessed the fast development of Chinese urban railways both in number and length, which is a reflection of China's prosperous economy. (要点1) Actually, not only the growing construction technologies but also the expansion of Chinese cities with booming population and heavy traffic, stimulates the urban railway construction. (要点2) With the deepening of the reform and opening up policy, more urban railways will come into use. (要点3)Writing 2阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Unit 4 Wildlife protection阅读理解·组块专练——练速度(限时：35 分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解A(2020 ·洛阳高三第一次月考)I find it humorous sometimes that even themost ordinary incidents can have an impact on our awareness.My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years agoand we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking likeit does today. We live on a corner, higher than streetlevel, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the housethough is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, therocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someonewere in a hurry to finish.We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called thisarea our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover fl owers or plants,Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area.Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tinylittle plant that I could not immediately identify. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn ’t either. Wedecided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower. It had a tall skinny stalk (茎) and only one head on it.I decided to baby_it_along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from thearea to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had notstarted where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a bigrock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.That ’ s when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didn ’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do thesamething. Webelieve in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same food and nutrition as well.Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are andthe environment will begin to support you.

A(2020·河北省衡水中学高三下学期第一次模拟考试)Scientists have developed a new type of smart bandage(绷带) that can signal the type of bacterial(细菌的) infection it’s protecting，just like a traffic light，as well as release the right type of drugs on demand.The traffic light system works just like this：Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria，yellow means drug-sensitive(DS) bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics(抗生素) and causes antibiotic release，and red means drug-resistant(DR) bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out.In testing the bandage on mice，the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method.However，the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time，the requirement for professional personnel，and expensive instruments.Moreover，the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance.It’s easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations.Treatment doesn’t have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis，and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity.What’s more，the person wearing the bandage gets real-time feedback on what’s happ ening with the infection，if there’s an infection at all.The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light，including photodynamic therapy or PDT.We’ve been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years，thanks to advances in science — like the nanofiber mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out，speeding up the healing process.Then there’s the novel bandage for treating burns，which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection.The more work that a bandage can do while it’s protecting a wound，the better.Efforts to improve bandages continue and now we’ve got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics，but also tells the patient exactly what’s going on too.1．What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do?A．Avoid the use of antibiotics.B．Clear out harmful bacteria.C．Detect bacterial infections.D．Increase treatment options.2．What is the advantage of the smart bandage?A．It saves much time and cost.B．It removes the risk of infection.C．It prevents the bacterial resistance.D．It improves doctor-patient relationship.3．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A．Traditional bandages are out of use now.B．More smart bandages will be developed.C．Progress in science calls for more research.D．People are urged to study medical science.4．What does the text focus on?A．A successful test on mice.B．A colour-changing bandage.C．Sensing drug-resistant bacteria.D．Preventing abuse of antibiotics.【答案】 1.C 2.A 3.B 4.B【解析】这是一篇说明文。

【高考专题】2020届高考英语二轮题海特训营 阅读理解 一(含答案解析)
2020届高考英语二轮题海特训营阅读理解一A1.Raised in a motherless home，my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children.His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home，Dad never met me，even in severe weather. If I grumbled，he'd say in his loudest fathervoice，"That's what your legs are for！"The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop，I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedges(树篱)edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. OnceI had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey，I always had asense of relief to see the hedges because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening，the hedges had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedges，moving toward the house. Upon closer observation，I realized it was the top of my father's head. Then I knew，each time I'd come home，he had stood behind the hedges，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care，after all.On later visits，that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait untilI was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reachinghome，I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair."So，my son，it's you！" he'd say，his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied，"Yes，Dad，it's me. I'm home."（1）What does the underlined word "grumbled" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Accepted happily.B．Explained clearly.C．Agreed willingly.D．Spoke unhappily.（2）What made the author feel upset was ______.A. the tiredness after long hours in labsB．the fear of seeing something movingC．the feeling of being less than valuedD．the loneliness of riding the bus home（3）The author's father watched behind the hedges because _____.A．he was concerned about his son's safetyB．he wanted to help his son build up courageC．he didn't want to meet his son at the doorwayD．he didn't think his son was old enough to walk alone（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．My Father's SecretB．My College LifeC．My Terrible Journey HomeD．Riding the Bus AloneB2.Chinese scientists recently have produced two monkeys with the same gene, Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, using the same technique that gave us Dolly the sheep. These monkeys are not actually the first primates（灵长类）to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo（胚胎）splitting, the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus（原子核）with DNA from a differentiated body cell. This Dolly method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer （SCNT）, can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA.Success came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscopy to better view the cells during handling or using several materials that encourage cell reprogramming, which hadn’t been tried before on primates. Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers’ pouring water on the idea that the team’s results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier for cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality.However, their research purpose is entirely for producing non-human primate models for human diseases; they absolutely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.（1）What do we know about the technology called SCNT?A. It created the first two primates.B. It may contribute to editing the DNA.C. It can divide an early-stage embryo into several cells.D. It produced two cloned monkeys with different genes.（2）What does the author mean by “pouring water on the idea” in paragraph 2?A. Keeping a hot topic of it.B. Having a low opinion of it.C. Attaching no importance to it.D. Adding supportive evidence to it.（3）What is the scientists’ purpose to clone these monkeys?A. To help with the study of human diseases.B. To serve as a stepping stone to their reputation.C. To prepare for their research on human cloning.D. To raise money for holding an exhibition of novels.（4）What can we infer from the passage?A. New techniques seem to be pointless.B. Cloning humans is already on its way.C. Society won’t agree to clone another monkey.D. The success rate of cloning a monkey was not high.C3.While WeChat is China's biggest mobile messaging app (应用软件),there are many equivalent(相当的) apps in other countries that offer similar features(特征).WhatsApp (US)Users: more than 300 millionPlatforms: Android, 10S, Windows Phone, BlackBerryFeatures:Text chat, push-to-talk, file sharing, location sharingWith more than 300 million active users, WhatsApp is one of WeChat's biggest competitors.

And the industry isn’t stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that —it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “re-c reate forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same”, freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and dessertsit serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.Sustainability(可持续性）The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids (水解胶体) from plentiful renewables like algae(藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients(烹饪原料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock "food" that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements. NutritionFuture 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’s bread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you on demand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste(糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants.（1）What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A. It helps cooks to create new dishes.B. It saves time and effort in cooking.C. It improves the cooking conditions.D. It contributes to restaurant decorations.（2）What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?A. It solves food shortages easily.B. It quickens the transportation of food.C. It needs no space for the storage of food.D. It uses renewable materials as sources of food.（3）According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ________.A. is more available to consumersB. can meet individual nutritional needsC. is tastier than food in supermarketsD. can keep all the nutrition in raw materials（4）What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?A. The printing process is complicated.B. 3D food printers are too expensive.C. Food materials have to be dry.D. Some experts doubt 3D food printing.（5）What could be the best title of the passage?A. 3D Food Printing: Delicious New TechnologyB. A New Way to Improve 3D Food PrintingC. The Challenges for 3D Food ProductionD. 3D Food Printing: From Farm to TableG7.Many of us have reached in our pockets, feeling a vibration （振动）, wrongly believing our mobile phones have just rung. The phenomenon even has a name: phantom vibration syndrome—and found it is surprisingly common.Now scientists believe that we are so alert（警觉） for phone calls and messages we are misinterpreting slight muscle spasms （痉挛） as proof of a call. Robert Rosenberger, an assistant professor at the Georgia Tech Institute of Technology has studied the delusional calls. He said sufferers describe a vague tingling feeling which they think is their mobile phone indicating it has received a text message or call while on ‘silent’. But when the device is retrieved, there was no one on the other end.Dr. Rosenberger said “I find so many people say, ‘This happens to me, but I thoughtI was the only one. I thought I was odd. ”It seems that the syndrome particularlyaffects people at the beck and call of mobile phones or pagers. A 2010 study by Michael Rothberg and colleagues found that nearly 70 per cent of doctors at a hospital in Massachusetts suffered phantom vibrations. A more recent study of US college students found the figure was as high as 90 per cent.While the odd feeling is widespread, it does not seem to be considered a grave problem.Dr. Ros enberger said: “it's not actually a syndrome in a technical sense. That's just the name that's got stuck to it.” He added: “Only 2 per cent of people consider it a problem.”While widespread, the scientific community has not yet invested much effort in getting to the bottom of why we suffer phantom calls.Dr. Rosenberger said: “People are guessing it has something to do with nervous energy. The cognitive（认知的） scientists are talking about brain chemistry, cognitive pathways changing. But it's not like they h ave brain scans to go on.”He said: “We have a phone call in our pocket all the time and it becomes sort of an extension of ourselves. We have this sort of readiness to experience a call.We feel something and we think, OK, that could be a call.”（1）Why do some people mistake slight muscle spasms for a call?A. They all have a vivid imagination.B. They are sensitive to calls and messages.C. There are few calls and messages in their life.D. Slight muscle spasms affect them more than other people（2）Which of the following are more likely to have phantom vibration syndrome thanothers?A. Doctors.B. University professors.C. College students.D. The cognitive scientists.（3）In Dr. Rosenberger's opinion, phantom vibration syndrome ___.A. isn't a kind of disease actuallyB. is considered a problem by most peopleC. is a serious problem ignored by peopleD. has something to do with brain chemistry（4）What does the text mainly talk about?A. Most people have phantom vibration syndrome.B. How to keep away from phantom vibration syndrome.C. How to reduce phantom phone vibrations.D. People care too much about phantom phone vibrationsH8.When a driver slams on the brakes to avoid hitting a pedestrian crossing the road illegally, she is making a moral decision that shifts risk from the pedestrian to the people in the car Self-driving cars might soon have to make such ethical (道德的)judgments on their own — but settling on a universal moral code for the vehicles could be a tough task, suggests a surveyThe largest ever survey of machine ethics, called the Moral Machine, laid out 13 possible situations in which someone’s death was unavoidable Respondents were asked to choose who to spare in situations that involved a mix of variables: young or old, rich or poor, more people or fewer Within 18 months, the online quiz had recorded 40 million decisions made by people from 233 countries and territories When the researchers analysed these answers, they found that the nations could be divided into three groups One contains North America and several European nations where Christianity has been the dominant (占支配地位的)religion; another includes countries such as Japan, Indonesia and Pakistan, with strong Confucian or Islamic traditions A third group consists of countries in Central and South America, such as Colombia and Brazil The first group showed a stronger preference for sacrificing older lives to save younger ones than did the second group, for exampleThe researchers also identified relationships between social and economic factors in a country They found that people from relatively wealthy countries with strong institutions, such as Finland and Japan, more often chose to hit people who stepped into traffic illegally than did respondents in nations with weaker institutions, such as Nigeria or PakistanPeople rarely face such moral dilemmas, and some cities question whether the possible situations posed in the online quiz are relevant to the ethical and practical questions surrounding driverless cars But the researchers argue that the findings reveal cultural differences that governments and makers of self-drivingcars must take into account if they want the vehicles to gain public acceptance At least Barbara Wege, who heads a group working on autonomous-vehicle ethics at Audi in Ingolstadt, Germany, says such studies are valuable Wege argues that self-driving cars would cause fewer accidents, proportionally, than human drivers do each year—but that people might focus more on events involving robots Surveys such as the Moral Machine can help to begin public discussions about these unavoidable accidents that might develop trust “We need to come up with a social consensus,” she says, “about which risks we are willing to take”（1）Why is it difficult to set universal moral rules for programming self-driving cars?A．Social values always change with the timesB．Moral choices vary between different culturesC．Drivers have a preference for sacrificing the weakD．Car makers are faced with decisions of life or death（3）The researchers conducted the study by_____A．using a massive online quiz worldwideB．comparing different cultures and customsC．dividing the respondents into three groupsD．performing a series of controlled experiments（3）According to the study, in which country are drivers more likely to hit a pedestrian crossing the road illegally?A．Nigeria B．Colombia C．Finland D．Indonesia（4）Barbara Wege would probably agree that _____A．Self-driving cars will greatly improve the traffic environmentB．Accidents caused by self-driving cars might receive more attention C．Problems involving self-driving cars might shake the public trust in society D．Car makers needn’t take the risk of solving self-driving car ethical dilemmas答案解析1.【参考答案】（1）D；（2）C；（3）A；（4）A；2.【参考答案】（1）B；（2）B；（3）A；（4）D【解析】本文是一篇科普类的文章。

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 $ 20 bill 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.”()1.What does the expression “money with no strings attached”in Paragraph 1 mean?A．Money spent without hesitation.B．Money not legally made.C．Money offered without conditions.D．Money not tied together.()2.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.()3.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.【语篇解读】本文简单介绍了Tyler Bridges在洛杉矶发起的The Toolbox及其影响、意义。

A(2020·河北省衡水中学高三下学期第一次模拟考试)We’ve known that sitting for long periods of time every day has countless health consequences，like a higher risk of heart disease.But now a new study has found that sitting is also bad for your brain.A study published last week，conducted by Dr.Prabha Siddarth at the University of California，showed that sedentary(久坐的)behavior is associated with reduced thickness of the medial temporal lobe(中颞叶)，a brain area that is critical to learning and memory.The researchers asked a group of 35 healthy people，ages 45 to 70，about their activity levels and the average number of hours each day spent sitting and then scanned their brains.They found that the subjects who reported sitting for longer periods had the thinnest medial temporal lobes.It means that the more time you spend in a chair the worse it is for your brain health，resulting in possible damage to learning and memory.What is also interesting is that this study did not find a significant association between the level of physical activity and thickness of this brain area，suggesting that exercise，even severe exercise，may not be enough to protect you from the harmful effects of sitting.It then surprisingly turned out that you don’t even have to move much to enhance cognition(认知)；just standing will do the trick.For example，two groups of subjects were asked to plete a test while either sitting or standing.Participants are presented with conflicting stimuli(刺激)，like the word “green” in blue ink，and asked to name the color.Subjects thinking on their feet beat those who sat by a 3milicond margin .The cognitive effects of severe physical exercise are well known.But the possibility that standing more and sitting less improves brain health could lower the bar for everyone.I know，this all runs counter to received ideas about deep thought，from our grade school teachers，who told us to sit down and focus，to Rodin’s famous “Thinker，” seated with chin on hand.They were wrong.You can now all stand up.1．What can we infer from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．Severe exercise can lessen the damage of sitting.B．Severe exercise can greatly improve our brain health.C．Sedentary behavior will possibly damage our brain.D．Brain health has nothing to do with sedentary behavior.2．What does the underlined word “margin” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Blank. B．Edge.C．Decrease. D．Difference.3．What is the received idea about deep thought?A．Sitting more is good for our mental health.B．Sitting is better when we think.C．Exercise more can improve our cognition.D．We should stand while thinking.4．The passage mainly tells us .A．people tend to sit while thinkingB．standing more can make our brain healthierC．physical exercise can improve our brain healthD．sedentary behavior leads to countless health problems【答案】【解析】这是一篇说明文。

My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could tak e one of my children out alone, ”said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.The children were extremely quick to accept the i dea of“Mommy and Me”time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around, ”Christie shared with me quietly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone time. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃)son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me”time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child—talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

Global warming李仕才一、阅读理解。
Everyone knows that death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two stages — clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have stopped functioning, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be saved. Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues. Deat h is then unchangeable and final.Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling the organism, combined with narcotic (麻醉) sleep. By slowing down the body’s metabolism (新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.To show how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta. The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began taking blood out from an artery (动脉). The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in. For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artifici al breathing. After two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes, spontaneous (自发的) breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin (青霉素) injection, Keta seized the syringe (注射器)and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.1.For a person who suffers from the clinical death _________.A. he is still very much aliveB. he cannot avoid final deathC. his most important organs are damaged foreverD. he still has the possibility of getting back to life2.Scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer in order to _________.A. cool the organismB. delay the coming of biological deathC. slow down the body’s metabolismD. bring vital cells and tissues back to active life3.The text mainly talks about _________.A. clinical death and biological deathB.an experiment on a monkeyC. the meaning of deathD. the process before death4.From the underlined sentence in the last paragraph we can know that _________.A. Keta was impoliteB. Keta was healthyC. Keta was illD. Keta was crazy【文章大意】本文主要叙述了为了延缓生理死亡的到来，科学家尽量延长临床死亡的时间。

第二部分专题一第4讲【真题达标组】A(2019全国卷Ⅱ，C)Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e－book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's “me” time. And like more Americans, she's not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half(53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore,74 percent，according to statistics from the report.“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone，but together，you know？”Bechtel said，looking up from her book. Bechtel，who works in downtown West Palm Beach，has lunch with coworkers sometimes，but like many of us，too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today，I just wanted some time to myself，” she said.Just two seats over，Andrew Mazoleny，a local videographer，is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first－name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流). “I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week，” he said. “It's a chance for self－reflection. You return to work recharged and with a plan.”That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one，but those days are over. Now，we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology，”said Laurie Demerit, whose company provided the statistics for the report.()1.What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A．Food variety.B．Eating habits.C．Table manners.D．Restaurant service.()2.Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch?A．To meet with her coworkers.B．To catch up with her work.C．To have some time on her own.D．To collect data for her report.()3.What do we know about Mazoleny?A．He makes videos for the bar.B．He's fond of the food at the bar.C．He interviews customers at the bar.D．He's familiar with the barkeeper.()4.What is the text mainly about?A．The trend of having meals alone.B．The importance of self－reflection.C．The stress from working overtime.D．The advantage of wireless technology.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，列举了越来越多人喜欢单独吃饭的现象，并解释了原因。

B(2018，北京卷，A)My First Marathon(马拉松)A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P．E.class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informed me that I was “not athletic”．The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS！”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a．m.or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished! And I got a medal.In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”．()5.A month before the marathon, the author ________.A．was well trainedB．felt scaredC．made up his mind to runD．lost hope()6.Why did the author mention the P．E.class in his 7th year?A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.C．To show he was not talented in sports.D．To share a precious memory.()7.How was the author's first marathon?A．He made it.B．He quit halfway.C．He got the first prize.D．He walked to the end.()8.What does the story mainly tell us?A．A man owes his success to his family support.B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.C．Failure is the mother of success.D．One is never too old to learn.【语篇解读】本文为一篇记叙文。
