Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips—of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞) in my little box because I ’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cellsare harvested from a donor(捐献者)to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’vegot 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up thestem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:“ Well,I ’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please, please, you’ve got to get me back to t he United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me,re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originallyscheduled.For this courier job,you ’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.25.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“ courier”in Paragraph 1?A.providerB.delivery manC.collectorD.medical doctor26.Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A.He cannot stay away from his job too long.B.The donor can only wait for that long.C.The operation needs that much time.D.The ice won ’t last any longer.27.Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A.To London.B.To Newark.C.To Providence.D.To Washington.C(2018 课标全国Ⅱ ,D)We’ve all been there:in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with theuncomfortable silence.What’s the problem?It ’s possible that we all have compromised conversationalintelligence. It ’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it ’s awkward and challenging, or we think it ’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it ’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren ’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease( 润滑剂 )for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “ Almost every great love story and each big business dealbegins with small talk, ” he explains. “ The key to successful small talk is learning how toconnect with others, not just communicate with them. ”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction( 互动 )with its waiter;the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shopexperience. “It ’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband, ”says Dunn. “ But interactions with peripheral( 边缘的 )members of our social network matter forour well-being also. ”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater senseof belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk.“ Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.28.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.Addiction to smartphones.B.Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C.Absence of communication between strangers.D.Impatience with slow service.29.What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A.Showing good manners.B.Relating to other people.C.Focusing on a topic.D.Making business deals.30.What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A.It improves family relationships.B.It raises people’s confidence.C.It matters as much as a formal talk.D.It makes people feel good.31.What is the best title for the text?A.Conversation CountsB.Ways of Making Small TalkC.Benefits of Small TalkD.Uncomfortable SilenceD(2017 课标全国Ⅰ ,D)A build-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking waterin areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S.Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carrythe necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural subs titutes. The only components required, though, are a 5'× 5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic,six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup—to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet acrossand three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’sproductivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place sothat one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up—and out—the side of the hole.Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirtand weighting the sheet’s center dow n with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体 ) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over,and no more than three inches above, the cup.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic.Ground water evaporates(蒸发 ) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material, and falloff into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through thetube, and won ’t have to break down the still ev ery time you need a drink.32.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?A.It ’s delicate.B.It ’s expensive.C.It ’s complex.D.It ’s portable.33.What does the underlined phrase“the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The tube.B.The still.C.The hole.D.The cup.34.What is the last step of constructing a working solar still?A.Dig a hole of a certain size.B.Put the cup in place.C.Weight the sheet’s center down.D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.35.When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from.A.the plastic tubeB.outside the holeC.the open airD.beneath the sheet第二节 ( 共 5 小题 ; 每小题 2 分 , 满分 10 分)(2018 课标全国Ⅱ )根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

最新2019届(新课标)全国卷英语高考模拟试卷(一)时间:120分钟;总分150分第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力(共两节,满分30 分)(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWhen I was a kid in the 1960s. my parents had a country store in the small town of Frankfort, Maine. No neighboring houses could be seen from our place,and new salesmen were always amazed at the amount of business we did. Dad's motto was, “We sell everything.” If he didn't ha ve something in store, he would pick it up for customers on his weekly trip to Bangor.One time Dad was in Bangor getting shoes for someone at a shoe factory. He saw big boxes full of shoes and asked about them. They were the mates(一双鞋中的一只) to faulty shoes that had been thrown away. He looked through the boxes and realized that there were usable brand-new shoes in there. He offered the manager five cents a shoe. Dad made the deal and got the manager to reserve any future boxes for him.Of course Mon, his bu siness partner, was more practical, and her first reaction was, “But what are you going to do with them?” Dad bought an old school bus. He cleaned it up, removed the seats and placed big containers down both sites of the aisle(通道). When all was ready, the whole family helped to put the shoes in place. At first, it looked like we had plenty of room on the bus, but Dad kept bringing home more boxes.There was no sign on the Shoe Bus. The only advertising Dad did was to place a piece of paper beside the store exit that read “Shoes $1 a pair.”When folks asked about the deal. they learned it wasn’t that easy because they had to find their own pairs. The attraction was a combination of getting a good deal on a quality pair of shoes and the thrill of the hunt.To this day I still run into people who talk about the fun they had searching for pairs in Dad's Shoe Bus.21. The author's parents ran their store well becauseA. they always had enough supplies in store.B. they won the great support of new salesmen.C. they opened it in a very crowded neighborhood.D. they did all they could to meet their customers' need.22. Why did the customers think it fun shaping in the Shoe Bus?A. There were free bus rides offered on them.B. 'They could receive better customer service.C. They could match pairs of shoes by themselves.D. There was a wide variety of shoes to choose from.23. What can we learn about the author's father from the text?A. He had a good nose for business.B. He was clever at transforming a store.C. He was patient with customersD. He had a strong preference for bargains.BFor the past 15 years, factory owner Kamal Parmar has been running an after-school program for slum kids in Ahmedabad, India, helping them with basic skills like reading and writing and even preparing for their school tests.Parmar’s story began one afternoon 15 years ago. He stopped a few kids returning home from the local school and took their exam paper and asked them a few questions. Shockingly, he made a shocking discovery--the students, even the older ones, knew nothing about reading except the alphabet. And that left him thinking that something should be done for these children.So he invited the kids to visit his workshop every evening, where he set up a temporary classroom with metal desks. The shabby school started off with 10 students. Today, the Footpath School has a total of 155 students and many of the kids that Parmar has taught in the past 15 years have gone to attend college and build successful careers.Despite having studied only till the seventh grade, he has been able to teach the kids by inventing creative techniques. He asks them to read first and then to form questions on their own and read them out. In this way, many kids learn all seven subjects in six months.Parma r’s family are very supportive of his project and are proud to see how much of an impact he has had on the kids. His students love him. Ten of his ex-students are currently serving as teachers at the school and he doesn’t have to employ any teachers.For t hose who are inspired by his story, but can’t actually volunteer at school, Parmar has a simple piece of ads ice: “Try to educate just one child a year, and see the difference it makes to the society.”24. Why did Parmar start the school?A. To earn some extra money.B. To become a good teacher.C. To help the poor kids with their education.D. To make himself famous.25. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The students’ poor reading ability.B. The students’ bad living conditi ons.C. The students’ terrible school exam result.D. The students’ lack of basic life skills.26. Which words can be used to describe Parmar?A. Diligent and intelligent.B. Selflessly and imaginative.C. Modest and patient.D. Humorous and rich.27. Parm ar’s advice in the last paragraph is to call on more people to.A. teach poor kidsB. work in his own factoryC. contribute more money to schoolsD. listen to his storiesCIf you want to be productive, you must complete work. Almost everything we do has many stages to completion and in many situations, you don’t actually create value until you finish the last stage. Farmers can’t sell their grain until it is harvested. Automakers can’t sell cars that have made it 90% of the way through the assembly line(生产线). Most employers aren’t going to pay you for having a degree unless you finished the last class and graduated.Now all those things require starting, but if you have work in progress, the most valuable thing you can do is to pick something and finish it. Finishing is where you start benefiting from the value you’ve created. I’ve noticed that many successful people aren’t the ones who are the smartest or have the best ideas. They are often the ones who do the best job of taking an idea and completing it. A good idea fully carried out is better than a great idea that never gets completed.Does this mean you need to finish everything you start? Not necessarily, but if you don’t think something is worth finishing, be honest with yourself and terminate the project. Don’t leave hundreds of half finished efforts lying around physically or mentally acting like you are going to come back and pick them up. If you need to drop something , do so strategically and intentionally. If you’ve put significant e ffort into a project, you may still benefit from finishing it even if you wouldn’t start it again based on changed circumstances. For example, if you are in your last few months before graduating from college and realize you don’t want to career in what yo u are majoring in, you probably should go ahead and graduate because there is significant value in having the degree---even if you don’t intend to actually work in that field.What projects do you have that are currently in progress? Can you find something and finish it?28. Why do many people become successful according to the author?A. They are the smartest.B. They have the best ideas.C. They start things smoothly.D. They make ideas fully completed.29. What does the underlined word “terminate” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Develop.B. End.C. Plan.D. Support.30. According to the author, which of the following is the correct way of creating value?A. A man decides to finish all he starts to doB. Farmers hurry to sell their crops before they are ripeC. A college student chooses to study until he gets his degreeD. A student keeps a half-filled stamp album around for future use31. What is the best title for the text?A. Finishing vs. Starting.B. Well Begun is Half Done.C. Planning vs. Performing.D. It is Easier Said than Done.DThe Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs (地画) in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru. It is ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals and stylizedhuman-like forms. The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920s. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers, maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world. There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta, United States (Mississippi and California), Chile, Bolivia and in other countries. But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers, characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological (考古学的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蚀) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, combined with the existence of lighter-colored subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.32. What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?A. They were built as a big map.B. They were formed by nature.C. They are ancient lines in caves.D. They are huge markings in a desert.33. How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.34. Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?A. Because of the wind at ground level.B. Because of the existence of soft soil.C. Because of the climate and geography.D. Because of the thick sand on the top.35. What does the underlined word “eternal” probably mean?A. Non-stop.B. Ever-lasting.C. Real-life.D. High-end.第二节(共 5 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
