江苏省南通中学2022-2023学年新高考高一上学期第一次月考试卷(含答案)
江苏省南通中学2022-2023学年新高考高一上学期第一次月考试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解World Series, the United StatesA century’s worth of the World Series has seen many exciting matches. To get to the series, each of the 32 teams in the major leagues must experience a 162-game season, followed by three playoffs. The first is a best-of-five series, followed by two best-of-seven series.Super Bowl, the United StatesThe Super Bowl is so big that even the commercial advertisements are worth watching.When it was held for the first time in 1967, there were plenty of empty seats and it attracted a small TV audience. It is the competition between the top team from the American Football Conference and the top team from the National Football Conference for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.24 Hours of Le Mans, FranceSkill,speed and stamina are the three dimensions that mark the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The competition is set on a non-permanent track at Circuit de la Sarthe near the city of Le Mans in France. The winner is the car, driven by a team of three drivers, which covers the greatest distance in 24 hours. The first Le Mans contest took place in May 1923. Today it is held every June.Polo at Palermo,ArgentinaArgentine polo is considered the best in the world. It’s no wonder the Argentine Open Championship is the top draw for the sport’s best players and fans. The tournament, first known as the River Plata Polo Championship, takes place between late November and early December. First held in 1893, the tournament is older than the tango.1、What do we know about the Super Bowl?A. Its ads are the best.B. It is a championship game.C. Few people watch it now.D. The Vince Lombardi Trophy is its official name.2、What kind of race is the 24 Hours of Le Mans?A. A motorcycle raceB. A cycling raceC. A car raceD. A long-distance running race3、Which of the four sporting events has the longest history?A. The World SeriesB. The Super BowlC. The 24 Hours of Le MansD. The Polo at PalermoComputers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future we will use computers in everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. People will use the Internet to play games, see films and buy food. Also, we can use the Internet to make telephone calls.Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communication. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We’ll read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn to lots of pages and we will save lots of paper. We will use more and more computerized books.Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers, because paper books may be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.4、In Paragraph 1 it is thought people will use computers for________.A. playing games, shopping and making telephone callsB. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing filmsC. seeing films, buying food, and going for holidaysD. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor5、Which reason for using computerized books is NOT said in the passage?A. Computerized books won’t be very expensive.B. Computers can keep many different books in them.C. We won’t have lots of pages.D. We won’t need any paper.6、Paragraph 4 tells ________.A. about the old and new ways of shopping and communicatingB. if the Internet will change our habitsC. about computerized booksD. about future uses of computers7、The title for this passage is___________.A. Computers Will Replace Shop and BooksB. Computers and the FutureC. Computers will Do Everything for ManD. How Computers Change Our HabitsDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the area which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent for neuroscience of what Einstein’s theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does-well, perhaps you’ll understand why.8、Mirror neurons can explain _______.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late9、The underlined word “triggered” in the third paragraph probably means “_______”.A. set offB. cut offC. built upD. broken up10、We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _______.A. relate to human behavior and interactionB. control human physical actions and feelingsC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. determine our knowledge and language abilities11、What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways to find mirror neurons.B. Problems of mirror neurons.C. Existence of mirror neurons.D. Functions of mirror neurons.“It’s over! Thank goodness!”School was over and I was tired. I sat at the front of the school bus.Janie, the driver, always tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by talking. I try to listen politely, but usually I’m too busy thinking about my day. On this day, however, her talk was worth listening to.“My father’s ill,” she said to no one in particular. I could see worry in her eyes. I had never seen her like this before. She always meets students with a smile.With a sudden chance of interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him?”With her eyes wet an d her voice unusual, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes lowered as she continued, “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.” I couldn’t answer. My heart ached for her.I sat on the seat thinking of the great pain my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that.Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver, which was just her job. She had a whole world of family and cares too.I sh ouldn’t have been so selfish. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver.I had judged her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.I shouldn’t have been so selfish and self-centered. Understanding people is an art.12、When the students get on the school bus, Janie usually ________.A. listens to musicB. talks about her own worryC. sits on her seat without wordsD. meets them with a smile13、After she learned Janie’s story, the writer thought of ________.A. her father’s deathB. her mother’s painC. the ache of her own heartD. the pain of Janie’s parents14、The writer felt herself selfish because she had ________.A. thought of Janie as nothing but a driveB. made only a few friends in the schoolC. hardly thought of herselfD. never listened to others15、In this passage the writer tries to tell us that ________.A. losing parents makes people sad and helplessB. understanding the people around us takes timeC. we should learn to understand the people around usD. it’s not right to judge the people around us by their clothes二、七选五16、Dogs do not see the world in the same way that we do. They rely on their body language for communication. Read on to see the ways they SHOW their feelings and emotions through their actions and behaviors!How They BarkThere are several reasons dogs bark. If it is loud and frequent, it might be something urgent. Perhaps they sense danger and want to let you know. ①_______ Loud barking can also mean that they are in pain. Make sure to pay attention to figure it out!On Your Feet②_______ It might be a little annoying, but your dogs mean well! This is their way to show their love and loyalty. They only want to be as close to you as possible. It is behavior that they got from their ancestors when they used to run as a pack.Eye MovementIn certain ways, dogs are like humans. ③_______ They look at the ground when they feel tired or sad. Meanwhile, they open their eyes wide and look around when they are excited. A raised eyebrow might mean confusion. Make sure to take these all into account!Barking At NothingSometimes when our dogs are looking out the window and start barking, we notice thereis nothing actually there for the dog to bark at, so why are they barking? ④_______ Your house is their house, too, and they want any and all intruders (侵入者) to know that they are there.⑤_______If your dog refuses to eat when another dog or human is in the room with them, it is not because of any other reason except for the fact that they do not want to share their food with you. While humans likely don’t think about this because we don’t eat dog food, dogs don’t understand that!A. Using Their TailsB. Only Eating AloneC. They tend to show emotions with their eyes as well.D. They could be doing this because they are protecting your house.E. Shorter and softer barks, meanwhile, mean that they want to play.F. Dogs like to lie on your feet when you are eating dinner or watching TV.G. They have been waiting for you to come back, and they cannot control their excitement.三、完形填空（20空）After their business trip，John and Mary returned，eager to see their lovely children.

2022-2023学年江苏省南通市高三(第1次)模拟考试英语试卷+答案解析(附后)
2022-2023学年江苏省南通市高三（第1次）模拟考试英语试卷AStarting to write short stories: An online workshop with Stuart EversIt is a common misconception that writing a short story is easier than crafting(构思) a longer form piece of fiction. Though they have fewer words, as a writer you have less time and space on the page to both capture the imagination of your readers and craft a journey for your characters that has a beginning, middle and end.In this highly practical workshop with award-winning writer Stuart Evers, you will know about the fundamentals of the short story writing—from building tension to creating a current of events that invites interest—for constructing a story that has the emotional heft of a novel, as well as breathing life into characters that are authentic and full.Regardless of your skillset or experience, under Stuart's expert guidance, you will take the first crucial steps in short storytelling so that you will have a newfound confidence in your ability to continue crafting short stories, far beyond the course. Course content:What makes a short story?How to generate ideas for short storiesHow to turn something from a situation into a storyWriting techniques that can be put into practice instantlyPost-class learning material that includes short story reading listCourse Details:Tuesday, 28 February 2023, 6pm-9pm GMT£80 plus £4.25 booking feeA catch-up recording will be shared after the class and will be available for two weeks.This masterclass is available globally. If you are joining us from outside the United Kingdom, you will be sent a link to the workshop 24 hours and 30 minutes before the start time.1. What does the workshop with Stuart Evers focus on?A. Adding more words in a limited time and space.B. Developing essential short story writing skills.C. Planning a complete journey with the readers.D. Distinguishing between a short story and a novel.2. What is said about Stuart's masterclass?A. It is demanding but rewarding.B. It will be replayed in two months.C. It will be free to foreigners online.D. It is practical and confidence-building.3. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A short story.B. A livestream website.C. An academic article.D. An examination paper.BIt is an unpleasant extinction that will change the world and how people communicate: within 20 years, two thirds of all the planet's languages will be dead. Experts agree that nothing can stop it happening but one academic is trying her hardest to slow it down. Professor Antonella Sorace is one of a growing number who believe learning a second language has enormous untapped benefits for the human brain. This is true not only for young children but also for adults and people at risk from dementia (痴呆), where research consistently shows that learning a new language could delay the start of the disease for four to five years—a better result than with any medication to date.It is those benefits of bilingualism (双语) that should encourage us to preserve and protect Europe's minority languages—Gaelic, Manx, Cornish and Ulster Scots, she says.Already her work and the project she founded three years ago in Edinburgh, Bilingualism Matters—now expanding across Europe and in the US—have convinced the Scottish government to introduce languages to primary schools. From 2023 all Scottish children will be learning a language other than English in their first year at school, with two other languages to be introduced later.Bilingualism Matters is also working to encourage businesses to consider the benefits of their staff learning languages. "In business, people say 'English is the language of business, why would I need to learn another language?'" said Sorace. "Maybe it would mean you could do better business."Just as disappearing forests take with them secrets of undiscovered medicines, disappearing languages can take the key to a longer and better quality of life. The first battle is to unpick the popular assumption that bilingualism might damagechildren's brains. There were even suggestions it could encourage schizophrenia (精神分裂症).Study after study has shown the opposite to be true, says Sorace. "These prejudices are deeply rooted, but we are perhaps halfway to persuading people that the brain can cope. Then we have to persuade people that it is actually of benefit."4. What will happen to the majority of the world's languages?A. They will become extinct in decades.B. They will be learnt by more academics.C. They will prevent the risk of dementia.D. They will help people better communicate.5. What's Bilingualism Matters intended to do?A. Find a replacement for English.B. Teach businesses marketing skills.C. Promote minority language learning.D. Influence governments' policy making.6. What's the top priority in preserving minority languages?A. Getting rid of people's fear for mental illnesses.B. Finding the key to promoting people's welfare.C. Unlocking the secrets of undiscovered medicines.D. Correcting the misconception about Bilingualism.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. The benefits of Bilingualism.B. The founding of Bilingualism Matters.C. A new challenge facing language teaching.D. A professor fighting to save minority languages.CThere is such a thing as a free lunch, it turns out, as long as you don't mind too much what it is. Tamara Wilson found hers a few streets away from her west London home—and as well as picking up some unwanted bread and fruit that would otherwise be thrown away, she made a new friend.Wilson is one of 3.4 million people around the world using an app designed to encourage people to give away rather than throw away surplus (剩余的) food. "It's such a small thing, but it makes me feel good and my neighbour feel good. And a lot of small acts can end up making a big difference," she said.The last few years have seen an explosion in creative ways to tackle food waste by linking supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and individual households to local communities. Olio, the app used by Wilson, saw a fivefold increase in listings during 2022, and the signs are that this rapid growth is continuing into 2023, said Tessa Clarke, its CEO and co-founder.About a third of all food produced globally is wasted, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Almost 1.4 billion hectares of land—close to 30% of the world's agricultural land—is dedicated to producing food that is never eaten, and the carbon footprint of food wastage makes it the third contributor of CO2. Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways of tackling the global climate crisis.Olio, Clarke said, was an attempt to change this on a small, local scale. "The app connects people with others who have surplus food but don't have anyone to give it to because so many people are disconnected from their communities." Users of Olio post images of surplus food that others in the neighbourhood might want. Olio also has a network of 24,000 volunteers who collect surplus food from local supermarkets and stores for app users to claim.Despite the success of the app, it was hard to make a difference to the huge scale of food waste, Clarke added. "Even though we're doing well, we've only scratched the surface (触及表面). But if everyone makes small changes in the world, we'd dramatically reduce the amount of food that ends up in bins (垃圾桶)."8. What does the author want to show by telling Wilson's story?A. People tend to use apps to order food.B. People prefer to make friends on apps.C. People find a high-tech fix to food waste.D. People show more concern for each other.9. What's the consequence of food waste according to the text?A. Global warming.B. Loss of land.C. World hunger.D. Poverty and inequality.10. What does Olio do to help tackle food waste？A. It sells surplus food to those in need.B. It allows volunteers to slay connected.C. It provides a platform for people to promote food.D. It fills the information gap between green communities.11. What does Clarke think of the work on reducing food waste globally?A. It is a great success.B. It requires joint efforts.C. It is beyond human power.D. It has won public support.DWhile the benefits of Zoom and other videoconferencing tools made them absolutely essential in the pandemic (疫情), the research suggests that heavy reliance on the technology comes at a cost to creative thinking.Brucks at Columbia University and her team started their investigation when managers reported having trouble innovating with remote workers. Brucks doubted whether videoconferencing was a factor, suspecting that difficulties coordinating (协调) large, global teams online might be to blame instead.To find out, the researchers analysed ideas for new products generated by 1,490 engineers for a multinational company. The engineers, who were in Finland, Hungary, India, Israel and Portugal, were randomly paired up and given an hour or so to brainstorm products either in person or over videoconferencing. They then selected their best idea.Writing in Nature, the researchers report that the engineers produced more ideas, and more innovative ideas, when working face to face. "They are not only generating a larger number of creative ideas, but their best idea is better," Brucks said. Virtual teams were just as good at selecting the best ideas from a bunch as those that met in person."Visual focus is a huge component of cognitive (认知) focus. When you're focused on the screen and ignoring the rest of the environment, that affects how you approach the task," said Brucks. "It's uniquely bad for creativity because it's inhibiting broader exploration."Brucks said the impact on the real world "could be huge", leading to a division of labour between face-to-face and virtual meetings that could "permanently reshape the office and work schedules". But she urged businesses to be cautious, because if virtual meetings are cheaper than in-person ones, they may still be morecost-effective.Asked for tips, Brucks said people could save more creative tasks for in-person meetings, or turn off their camera when coming up with ideas. "I think it unlocks more creative thinking," she said.12. Why did Brucks conduct the research?A. To prove her assumption.B. To clarify a new concept.C. To make a comparison.D. To explain a rule.13. What is the finding of the research?A. Face-to-face gatherings promote cross-culture ties.B. Workers think less creatively in virtual meetings.C. Individual work generates more innovative ideas.D. Videoconferencing has an irreplaceable role.14. What does the underlined word "inhibiting" in paragraph 5 mean?A. Encouraging.B. Requiring.C. Beginning.D. Preventing.15. What does Brucks say about virtual meetings?A. They should be used accordingly.B. They'll make office workers divided.C. They'll give way to in-person meetings.D. They help businesses run more efficiently.People have tried everything to get more sleep. But unlike almost every other area of life, effort is not rewarded. (1)The more you try, the less you are likely to succeed. Here are some ways to improve your sleep that might just work.(2) There is nothing you can do between now and bedtime to guarantee that you will sleep tonight. There is, however, plenty you can start doing to improve your chances of sleeping well next month. So instead of worrying about the night ahead, make sleeping well a long-term goal and expect to see progress in a few weeks rather than tomorrow.Have a late night. Adults need to be awake for at least 16 hours to generate enough sleep-drive to sleep for eight hours at night. Having an early night can mean you won't be sleepy enough to fall asleep quickly and easily. Don't pay too much attention to the exact times or he hours of sleep you are getting—the details don't matter. And don't take naps(小睡) in the day. (3)Smile more. Smiling can reduce tension and promote relaxation. As you turn the light out at night, try to think of something funny and smile lo yourself in the dark. (4)Even a fake smile is enough to send a message to the brain to change your mood and retrain the brain to be comfortable with being awake, thus reducing tension and allowing sleep to follow.Stop reading articles about sleep. None of the researching, monitoring or analyzing actually leads to better sleep. In fact, constantly looking for a solution is undoubtedly making things worse. (5) Make this the last article you read on the subject, then go and find something more interesting to think about.A. Try to stay awake at night.B. In fact, it is actively punished.C. Give up trying to sleep tonight.D. So give sleep less of your attention.E. They take the edge off your appetite for sleep.F. It doesn't have to be a genuine, heartfelt smile.G. You have to do things differently to get a different outcome.16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF.

What does the word jazz mean in the following sentence?Don’t give me that jazz, for I am a practical person.A. rhythmic beatsB. a type of musicC. a kind of danceD. meaningless talk(B)Domestic (驯养的) horses now pull ploughs, race in the Kentucky Derby, and carry police. But early horses weren’t tame (驯服的) enough to perform these kinds of tasks. Scientists think the first interactions humans had with horses were far different from those today.Thousands of years ago, people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food. Over time, people began to catch the animals and raise them. This was the first step in domestication. As people began to tame and ride horses, they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable characteristics. For example, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily. People who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep stronger animals. Characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals’ genes. So as the domesticated horses reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. Each new generation of houses would show more of these chosen characteristics. Modern day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This variety didn’t exist in the horse population before domestication. The Shetland horse is one of the smallest breeds—typically reaching only one meter tall. With short, strong legs, the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts (矿井) with low ceilings. Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene around 1700. People bred these heavy, tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads.The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. For example, horse were important tools in the advancement of modern agriculture. Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently. Before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. Riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time. That encouraged populations living in different areas to interact with one another. The new from of rapid transportation helped cultures spread around the world.( )4. Before domestication horses were ______.A. caught for sportsB. hunted for foodC. made to pull ploughsD. used to carry people( )5. The author uses the Shetland horse as an example to show ______.A. it is smaller than the Clydesdale horseB. horse used to have gentle personalitiesC. some horses have better shaped than othersD. horses were of less variety before domestication( )6. Horses contributed to the spread of culture by ______.A. carrying heavy loadsB. changing farming methodsC. serving as a means of transportD. advancing agriculture in different areas ( )7. The passage is mainly about _______.A. why humans domesticated horsesB. how humans and horses needed each otherC. why horses came in different shapes and sizesD. how human societies and horses influenced each other(C)More than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple (菠萝). The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the mar ket by storm, rapidly becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.In nutrition (营养) it was all good news too. This nice tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C(维生素C) than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out the market.( )8. We learn from the text that the new type at pineapple is __________.A. green outside and sweet insideB. good-looking outside and soft insideC. yellowy-gold outside and hard insideD. a little soft outside and sweet inside ( )9. Why was the new type of pineapple selling well?A. It was rich in nutrition and tasted nice.B. It was less sweet and good for health.C. It was developed by Del Monte.D. It was used as medicine.( )10. The underlined word “fixture” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something _________.A. that people enjoy eatingB. that is always presentC. that is difficult to getD. that people use as a gift( )11. We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte _________.A. slowed other companies to develop pineapplesB. succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itselfC. tried hard to control the pineapple marketD. planned to help the other companies(D)Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days of more. And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for orbital accommodation--or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like tovisit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel--private rooms, meals, bars. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views--of Earth and space--and the endless entertainment ofliving in zero gravity--including sports and other activities that make use of this.The hotels themselves will vary greatly---from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date. It’s actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible.Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sort of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below.Of course all good things have come to an end. Unfortunately, And so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading back enough you’ll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. You’ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again---or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.( )12. When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because_______.A. It is expensive to travel in spaceB. they would find the possible life in other star systemsC. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotelsD. they want to realise the full potential of tourism( )13. Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer?A. The gravitational pullB. The special views.C. The relaxation in a bar.D. The space walk.( )14. Which of the following is not discussed in the passage?A. When was the space traveling made possible?B. What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer?C. Why were there not many published designs for space hotels?D. How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels?( )15. This passage is mainly about ________.A. traveling in spaceB. the ways of living in space hotelsC. zero gravity and space hotelsD. the description of space hotels第二节（本题共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is often the case ______anything is possible for those who hang on to hope.A. whyB. whatC. asD. that参考答案：D试题分析：考查主语从句。
本句中it是形式主语，真正的主语是连接词that他引导的主语从句，连接词that在本句中不充当任何成分，只是一个引导词而已，不能省略。
连接副词why要在句中做状语，连接代词what通常在句中做主语、宾语或表语等；as通常不引导名词性从句。
句意：对于那些心存希望的人一切皆可能是事实。
故D正确。
【名师点睛】that 引导主语从句：由连词that引导的主语从句，在大多数情况下被放到句子的后面，用it 作形式主语来代替它的位置。
常见的以it作形式主语的主语从句的句型有三种。
1. It + be + 形容词+that从句适用于这种句型的常见形容词有：necessary，clear，true，strange，important，wonderful，possible，likely，obvious，surprising etc。
1) It’s clear that they badly need help。
很明显，他们急需援助。
2) It’s possible that we can carry out the project at last. 最终我们能完成这项工程是有可能的。
表语为necessary，clear，true，strange, important, wonderful，possible, likely, obvious, surprising, astonishing, etc.等形容词时，谓语动词的形式一般为“should ＋动词原形”3) It is necessary that you (should)master the computer. 你很有必要掌握电脑。
4) It is strange that he should have killed himself .真奇怪，他竟然自杀了2. It +be +名词词组+ that从句常用于这种句型的名词词组有：a fact， a good idea，a pity，an hour，a shame，no wonder，good news etc.1) It’s a pity that you missed the film.你没有看那部电影真是太遗憾了。
2) ―Tom has a bad cold. 汤姆患了重感冒。
―It is no wonder that he looks pale. ――难怪他看起来脸色苍白。
3) It is a great shame that he should have stolen a pen. 他竟然偷钢笔，真是太丢脸了。
shame 所用的句中要用虚拟语气。
3. It + be+ 过去分词+ that从句常有的过去分词有：said，reported, hoped, believed, expected, decided, well-known, thought, suggested 等。
1) It is well-known that the earth moves around the sun.众所周知，地球围绕太阳转。
2) It’s reported that the two countries have made an agreement about their trades.据报道这两个国家就贸易问题达成协议。
过去分词表示：建议，命令，愿望如suggested ，ordered，requested等词时，从句需用虚拟语气。
动词形式为：should ＋原型。
1) It is requested that Mr. Wang (should) give a performance.有人请求王先生表演一个节目。
2) It is suggested that we should discuss the problem .有人建议我们应该讨论一下这个问题。
11. Jack will hold a meeting ______ people can voice their opinions on today's global economy．A．which B．when C．where D．whose参考答案：C【知识点】考查定语从句。
句意：Jack将举行会议，在会议上人们可以就全球经济发表自己的看法。
空后的定语从句中主语、宾语俱全，排除A。
可将定语从句还原为：people can voice their opinions on today's global economy at the meeting。
at the meeting在句中作地点状语，换成引导词就是where，故填C。
12. Parents should be aware that communication between parents and their children is important，________their heavy work loads.A．but for B．besidesC．because of D．despite参考答案：D本题考查介词及介词短语。
but for要不是因为；besides除了……之外，此外；because of 因为；despite尽管，虽然。
句意为：父母应该意识到他们和孩子之间的交流很重要，尽管他们的工作繁忙。
根据句意应该选D项。
13. ----What’s that noise?---- There’s a truck stopping outside．It’s someone something.A．deliver B．to deliver C．delivering D．delivered参考答案：C14. Communication along with information industry __--_____--- an important part in modern times．A． play B． plays C．have played D． are playing参考答案：B15.
