Dad was left alone.One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointer’s eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and we’ve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.”I turned to the man in horror. “You mean you’re going to kill him?”“Ma’am,” he said gently. “We don’t have room for every unclaimed dog.”The pointer’s calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “I’ll take him,” I said.I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!” I said excitedly.Dad wrinkled his face. “I don’t want it,” he muttered, turning back towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.Dad’s anger melted, and soo n he was hugging the dog.This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed.

2019-2020年高考英语预测试题(9)预测题

2019-2020年高考英语预测试题(9)预测题阅读理解Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a years-long and highly public battle with cancer.Mourners gathered outside his house in Palo Alto, California, and Apple stores around the world.Steve Jobs made technology fun.As tech leaders, they're really happy if they have one hit in their life.Steve Jobs has the Apple II, the Mac, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and Pixar.Steve Jobs was a college dropout.He was adopted by a machinist and his wife, an accountant.They supported his early interest in electronics.He and his friend Steve Wozniak started Apple puter—now just called Apple —in 1976.They stayed at the pany until 1985.That year, Steve Wozniak returned to college and Steve Jobs left in a dispute with the chief executive.Mr Jobs then formed his own pany, called NeXT puter.He rejoined Apple in 1997 after it bought NeXT.He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable panies in the world today.However, Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple's chief executive in August because of his health.He died a day after the pany released a new iPhone version that met with limited excitement.Steve left behind a pany that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.President Obama said in a statement: by building one of the planet's most successful panies from his garage, Steve Jobs exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity(独创性的).By making puters personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun.The fact that he was able to redesign American merce top to bottom and across is really stunning.He probably will be considered an industrial giant on the scale of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, so one of the greatest of all time.Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology, he also revolutionized American business.Steve Jobs was remembered as a "great visionary and leader" and a "marketing genius." 1.How did the people around the world probably feel when Steve Jobs died of cancer at the age of 56?A.Unfair. B.Embarrassed. C.Sorrowful.D.Unfortable.2.According to the second paragraph, the author wants to show that ______.A.Steve Jobs has a lot of inventions in the field of putersB.Steve Jobs makes great contributions to mankind in the field of putersC.Tech leaders will be happy when they have one hit in their lifeD.Steve Jobs owns many panies in America3.Which of the following statements about Steve Jobs is NOT TRUE?A.Steve Jobs didn't finish his college.B.Steve Jobs and his friend built a pany called Apple puter in 1976.C.President Obama spoke highly of Steve Jobs for his achievements.D.Steve Jobs was remembered as the founder of Apple and the Internet.4.The underlined word "stunning" in the last paragraph probably means ______.A.exciting B.amazing C.puzzlingD.interesting5.This passage is mainly about _______.A.the inventions of Steve Jobs B.the childhood of Steve JobsC.a brief introduction of Steve Jobs D.the death of Steve JobsBHow to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it." Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors.I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, es back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting(运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.Remember that you reap what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem.

The music came from the patient on the operating table. In a video from the surgery, the violinist was moving her bow (琴弓)up and down as surgeons behind a plastic sh e e twher up in the middle of the operation in order to ensure they did not damage parts of the brain necessary for playing the violin and keep her hand's functions intact .Turner, 53, learned that she had a slow -growing tumor. Later doctors found that it had become more aggressive and the violinist decided to have surgery to remove it. Turner recalled doctors telling her, "Your tumor is on the right -hand side, so it will not affect your right hand, it will affect your left hand. "Staring down at her left hand, she said," This is mymost important part. My job these days is playing the violin, which is my passion.""We knew how important the violin is to Turner, so it was vital that we preserved function in the delicate areas of her brain that allowed her to play," Keyoumars Ashkan, a doctor at King's College Hospital, said in a press release.Before Turner's operation, Ashkan and his colleagues spent two hours carefully mapping her brain to identify areas that were active when she played the violin and those controlling language and movement. Waking her up during surgery then allowed doctors to monitor whether those parts were suffering damage. The surgery was a success. Ashkan said, "We managed to remove over 90 percent of the tumor, including all areas suspicious of aggressive activity, while retaining full function of her left hand."Brad Mahon, expert at Carnegie Mellon University, said the basic features of an "awake craniotomy“—the type of brain surgery where patients are awake in order to avoid damage to critical brain areas—have remained largely unchanged for decades. For example, doctors have long used simple tests such as asking a patient to name what they're seeing in pictures to make sure language ability is preserved.But he said that doctors are now able to map the patient's brain activity in great detail before the surgery, using an imaging technique called functional MRI. That means surgeons are coming into the operating room with far more information about a specific patient's brain . That kind of information helps doctors tailor tests to a patient's particular needs.4.What does the underlined word "intact" mean in the first paragraph?A. strongB. soundC. talentedD. influential5.Why did Ashkan and his colleagues map Tume's brain beforeoperation?A.To keep her brain more active when she played the violin.B.To monitor whether her brain had suffered damage severely.C.To recognize the areas related to music and movement precisely.D.To remove the tumor while keeping all function of her brain.6.What can we know according to Brad Mahon?A.Doctors are using an imaging technique to monitor the surgery.B.Patients are asleep to protect critical brain areas in a surgery.C.A patient's language ability couldn't be preserved before.D.Surgeons can personalize a patient's operation by mapping his brain.7.What is the best title for the passage?A. Musician joined in her own brain surgeryB. Mapping a brain is realized after surgeryC. The violinist suffers from a brain tumorD. Doctors perform surgery on a brainCThe Tokyo Summer Olympics is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be "sustainable”—to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of "precious metals", like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make 5,000 medals was a huge challenge. That's because the amount of metal in each device is tiny. It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just 1 kilogram of gold.Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to tum in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the initiative , turning in smartphones, digital cameras , hand-held games, and laptops.At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1,621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted(熔炼)to get all the gold, silver, and bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It's also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren't safe for people to touch or breathe.By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around 32 kilograms of gold, 4,100 kilogramsof silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.8.What can we know about the Tokyo Olympic medals?A. They are hugely valuable.C. They are designed uniquely.B. They are of high quality.D. They are made from e-waste.9.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A.The difficulty of making the medals.B.The process of collecting old electronics.C.The initiative to recycle used s martphones.D.The classification of the collected devices .10.The underlined word "tricky" in Paragraph 5 means _____.A. creativeC. demandingB. well-paidD. time-consuming11.What's the purpose of Tokyo's way of making the medals?A.To advocate sustainable use of resources.B.To promote the spirit of Olympic Games.C.To introduce a new technique to make medals.D.To call people's attention to environmental damage.D"When I was 16 years old, I was diving in Greece, but I was disappointed because I saw more plastic bags than fish." These are the words of Boyan Slat, an engineer who designed the world's first ocean plastic cleanup system.Every year, more than 8 million tons of plastics end up in our oceans, according tothe UN Environment Programme. It is predicted that the weight of ocean plastics will rival the weight of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. To prevent this from happening, in 2013 Slat created the Ocean Cleanup, an environmental governmental organization, and put his plan for an ocean cleanup device into action.After years of research and development in the Netherlands, a device called System 001/B successfully started gathering plastics on October 2, 2019. The device uses a 600-meter-long C-shaped tube to gather all the floating rubbish. Unlike other cleanup methods, the system floats freely according to the direction of the waves, which allows waste to flow into and stay within the device. A sea anchor is attached to either end. This slows down the system as it floats through the water and allows the faster-moving rubbish, carried by the waves, to flow into its mouth. System 001/B can also collect waste below the surface using a 3-meter-deep skirt(档板)attached to the end. After being gathered, the trash will be dragged back to shore by boat and recycled.Right now, the system operates in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area that is 3 times the size of France. Once operational, the Ocean Cleanup expects a full fleet to be able to clear 50% of the great Pacific Garbage Patch in 5 years."It remains to be seen whether this dream will become a reality, but it is undeniable that humanity must work together to reduce our plastic use and repair the damage our waste has caused," Slat said. "We are starting to see a young generation that gets it andis excited about a sustainable future, but the question still comes down to: Are we going fast enough, and how much damage will have been done before we get there?"12.What does the underlined word "rival" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Compare.B. Equal.C. Measure.D. Cover.13.Why did Boyan Slat create the Ocean Cleanup?A. To collect ocean plastic waste.B. To help to invent System 001/B.C. To protect the living environment offish.D. To do research on the ocean environment.14.What can we know about System 001/B?A.It can collect and recycle garbage at the same time.B.It can only gather ocean waste which floats on the water.C.It aims to clear up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in five years.D.It is an ocean-cleaning device which has already been put to use.15.What does Slat want to tell us according to the last paragraph?A.Young generations care less about the environment.B.The future ecology of the oceans is deeply worrying.C.People should work hard to decrease plastic pollution.D.It's quite difficult to repair the damage to the environment.第二节(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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

3年高考2年模拟1年原创备战2019高考英语专题10 定语从句(含解析)

【2019年高考命题预测】高考研究定语从句是英语三大类从句中最难的一类,其难点主要在于很多学生在学习时分不清先行词,不能正确使用关系代词、关系副词。

因此在学习定语从句时,务必搞清定语从句的概念、关系词的正确选择和使用情况等。

预测今后高考定语从句的考查还将是对关系代词和关系副词的考查。

【考点定位】2019考纲解读和近几年考点分布(1)考纲要求定语从句是高考的热点,对于定语从句考纲要求掌握以下内容:1.引导限制性定语从句的关系词;2.引导非限制性定语从句的关系词;3.限制性与非限制性定语从句的区别;4.介词+关系代词的用法;5.不定代词/数词+of which/whom引导的非限制性定语从句及其该结构与并列句的判断;6.关系词之间的异同现象及选用。

(2)命题规律一、主要考查关系代词和关系副词的正确运用,特别是它们在非限制性定语从句中的运用。

二、高考对定语从句的考查仍将不会单纯考查其语法结构,而是将其融入一定的语境中来考查考生的实际综合运用能力。

【考点pk】名师考点透析考点1:关系代词一览表关系词先行词从句成分例句备注关系代词who 人主语Do you know the man who is talkingwith your mother?whom, which和that在从whom 人宾语Mr. Smith i s the person with whomI am workingThe boy (whom) she loved died in thewar..句中做宾语时,常可以省略,但介词提前时后面关系代词不能省略,也不可以用thatwhose 人,物定语I like those books whose topics are about history.The boy whose father works abroad is my desk mate.that 人,物主语宾语A plane is a machine that can fly.

But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes - and finds that alumni (毕业生)of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated die teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought that it was one of the most important experiences they'd ever had, regardless of age and two-thirds said that they were often in situations where then experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults.Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.4.What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Changing the course of children's life.B.Participating in childhood art programsC.Organizing arts-based museum programs.D.Remembering the time at museum events.5.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A.The result of the study.B.The process of the study.C.The approach to the study.D.The object and content of the study.6.What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text?A.Passion for arts may remain long in kids' whole life.B.No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts.C.Age matters in how people view their art experiences.D.Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts.7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.How is Art Connected to Our Life?B.Can Art Education Affect Our Income?C.What Should Art Museums do for Kids?D.Should Children Walk into Art Museums?C(2020·河北衡水中学高三)Archaeologists used DNA taken from a broken clay pipe stem found in Maryland to build a picture of an enslaved woman who died around 200 years ago and had origins in modern-day Sierra Leone. One researcher called the work “a mind-blower.”“In this particular context, and from that time period, I think it’s a first,” team member Hannes Schroeder told The Washington Post. “To be able to get DNA from an object like a pipe stem is quite exciting. Also it is exciting for descendant(后裔) communities. Through this technology, t hey’re able to make a connection not only to the site but potentially back to Africa.”The pipe stem was found at the Belvoir plantation in Crownsville, Maryland, where enslaved people lived until 1864 and where a likely slave cemetery was recently found. DNA taken from the pipe linked back to a woman either directly from or descended from the Mende people, who lived in west Africa, in an area now part of Sierra Leone.Julie Schablitsky, the chief archaeologist with the Maryland state highway administration, told The Post the discovery, based on saliva(唾液) absorbed into the clay pipe, was a “mind-blower”. She also said records show the existence of a slave trade route Sierra Leone to Annapolis, plied(定期往来) by British and American ships. “As soon as people stepped on those slave ships in Africa,” she said, “whether they were from Benin or whether they were from Sierra Leone, wherever they were from, that identity was lost. Their humanity is robbed. Who they are as a people has gone.”The new analysis is part of ongoing research around Belvoir that has given descendants of the people enslaved there new insight into the lives of their ancestors. Speaking to The Post, Nancy Daniels, a genealogist from Laurel, Maryland, who thinks she is a descendant of enslaved families from Belvoir but was not linked to the research on the pipe, called the discovery “overwhelming.” “I’m sitting here about ready to cry,” she said. “I’m sorry. I'm so happy ... Thank God for the DNA.”This year, events and ceremonies are being held to mark the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved people in America, at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619.8.What does the phrase “a mind-blower” in paragraphs 1 and 4 refer to?A.A surprise. B.A confusion.C.An excitement. D.A fascination.9.According to Hannes Schroeder, the pipe stem was of great significance because________.A.it was the first direct evidence that slaves living in Maryland were originally from AfricaB.it helped the archaeologists to draw a portrait of the enslaved womanC.it might contribute to identifying the birthplace of the descendant communitiesD.it contained genetic clues to the ancestral background of its owner10.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The owner of the pipe once lived in what is now an area in west Africa.B.The history of slavery in America is an ongoing topic of concern.C.African slaves lost their identities when they arrived at the Belvoir plantation.D.Nancy Daniels, a genealogist was sorry for not being involved in the research.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.DNA from an old pipe throws lights on the origins of the enslavedB.A new research reveals the origins of enslaved African womanC.The descendants of enslaved people seek their identitiesD.DNA contributes to the breakthrough of a new researchD(2019·广东高考模拟)In a recent series of experiments at the University of California, researchers studied toddlers’ thinking about winners and losers, bullies (欺凌) and victims.In the first experiment, toddlers (学步儿童) watched a scene in which two puppets (木偶) had conflicting goals: One was crossing a stage from right to left, and the other from left to right. The puppets met in the middle and stopped. Eventually one puppet bowed down and moved aside, letting the other one pass by. Then researchers asked the toddlers which puppet they liked. The result: 20 out of 23 toddlers picked the higher-status puppet — the one that did not bow or move aside. It seems that individuals can gain status for being dominant (占优势的) and toddlers like winners better than losers.But then researchers had another question: Do toddlers like winners no matter how they win? So, researchers did another experiment very similar to the one described above. But this time, the conflict ended because one puppet knocked the other down and out of the way. Now when the toddlers were asked who they liked, the results were different: Only 4 out of 23 children liked the winner.These data suggest that children already love a winner by the age of 21-31 months. This does not necessarily mean that the preference is inborn: 21 months is enough time to learn a lot of things. But if a preference for winners is something we learn, we appear to learn it quite early.Even more interesting, the preference for winners is not absolute. Children in our study did not like a winner who knocked a competitor down. This suggests that already by the age of 21-31 months, children’s liking for winners is balanced with other social concerns, including perhaps a general preference for nice or helpful people over aggressive ones.In a time when the news is full of stories of public figures who celebrate winning at all costs, these results give us much confidence. Humans understand dominance, but we also expect strong individuals to guide, protect and help others. This feels like good news.12.One of the purposes of the experiments is to ________.A.teach toddlers how to gain higher statusB.offer toddlers a chance to watch a sceneC.observe the process of toddlers’ solving a conflictD.find ou t toddlers’ attitude toward winners and losers13.The toddlers regarded bowing and moving aside as a sign of ________.A.obeying rulesB.gaining statusC.giving in to the otherD.showing good manners14.What does the second experiment tell us about toddlers?A.They are excellent learners.B.They are always changeable.C.They show mercy to the loser.D.They value kindness over winning.15.What does the author think of the results of the series of experiments?A.Disappointing.

It might be in a dream, a lost letter, a memory, or something found that we’d forgotten about.My grandmother was from a town in Michigan. And summer after summer I enjoyedstaying with my grandparents as a young child. I was from the city and loved the small town where they lived. People knew everyone, their children, their pets, their ancestors.Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting... she would make sandwiches and we’d have tea parties, plant flowers and carefully tend them. She loved knitting sweaters as well as making beautiful quilts for her grandchildren. I remember the small thimble (顶针) she would place on her finger while doing her needlework.A few years ago, when Grandma left this earth for her new residence in Heaven, I bid farewell to my loving grandmother. How quickly our lives can change! We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier, on her 91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it mostly on my birthdays, because there was no card from Grandma. She’d never forgotten my birthday!On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low, something happened made me feel as if she was sharing that special day with me. I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow; it was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam(缝)that I carefully opened, and, to my delight, out came a tiny silver thimble!How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her! Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, I pictured her sewing it into that little pillow that I just happened to fluff(抖松), to place on my bedspread(床罩)that day. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I’d collected over the years. What a precious memory of a very special lady who, somehow, I knew, was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble into my pillow. I heated the kettle and made some tea, using my best china, as Grandma always did, and then enjoyed my tea and Grandma’s thimble. What a wonderful birthday that was!1.In the author’s memory, what would her grandmother do?A. She would make sandwiches and hamburgers for her family.B.

These super bats have invaded one of Australia’s most famous public spaces. Officials have said the animals are destroying trees and have to move on.These unwanted guests at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens look like tiny foxes with wings. Officials have estimated there are about 11,000 of them living in the picturesque harbor-side park. After inspecting damage to dozens of trees they now believe there are twice as many as previously thought. Branches have been breaking under the weight of these furry invaders and their droppings have been poisoning plants.Help may well be at hand, however, in the shape of the ordinary garbage bin. The gardens’ director Dr. Tim Entwistle hopes the unpleasant sounds of crashing bin lids will agitate the flying foxes and force them to move on. “The way to disturb them is to use noises, so we’ve used the loud noises made by rubbish bins in the past. You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what we’ll do is have a series of noises, at the beginning and end of the day. What we’ve found in the past is that the flying foxes leave the gardens and go somewhere else,” said Tim.The gray-headed flying fox is Australia’s largest bat. It flies around at night using its eyes and a powerful sense of smell to search for fruit and flowers. Officials at the Royal B otanic Gardens in Sydney have said they’re optimistic the unwelcome colony can be uprooted. If and when the bats do move to other parts of the city they will of course then become someone else’s problem.1.According to the passage, Why do people want to get rid of the flying foxes ?A. Because the garden are important public places.B. Because they are polluting the city.C. Because many garbage bins have been damaged by them.D. Because they’re threatening the survival of trees and other plants.2.In order to get rid of the flying foxes, what are people doing?A. They are shooting them.B. They are using rubbish containers.C. They are shaking the trees hard.D. They are cutting some trees down.3.Which of the following can replace the underlined “agitate” in Paragraph 3?A. ExciteB. killC. disturbD. discourage4.What does the writer imply from the last paragraph?A. The bats will still stay in the gardens.B. Some area will have to deal with the bats.C. The grey-headed flying fox often eat treesD. The damage caused by the bats is serious详细信息4.难度:困难The year 2114 will be an eventful one for art. In May of that year in Berlin, the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats’ “century cameras” – cameras with a 100-year-long exposure (曝光)time – will be brought back from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited. Six months after that, the Future Library in Oslo, Norway, will open its doors for the first time, presenting 100 books printed on the wood of trees planted in the distant past of 2014.As Katie Paterson, the creator of the Future Library, puts it: “Future Library is an artwork for future generations.” These projects, more than a century i n the making, are part of a new wave of “slow art” intended to push viewers and participants tothink beyond their own lifetimes. They aim to challenge today’s short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately. In their way, too, they are fighting against modern culture –not just regarding money, but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention.In a similar fashion, every April on Slow Art Day, visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time – a tough task for the average museum visitor, who typically spends less than 30 seconds on each piece of art.Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, since it’s in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. “Since I started living in a city, I’ve somehow been quite disconnected,” Anne Beate Hovind, the Future Library project manager, who described how working on the library drew her back to the pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth, told The Atlantic magazine.1.According to the first paragraph, what will NOT happen in 2114 ?A. A camera which was produced 100 years ago will be exhibited.B. The Future Library will be open to the public for the first time.C. Photos with a 100-year exposure time will be developed and exhibited.D. Books printed on the wood of trees planted in 2014 will be displayed.2.What can we learn about today’s people’s attitude toward works of art?A. They consider works deliberately.B. They spend little time on works.C. They spend much money on works.D. They stare at works for 10 minutes at a time.3.What is the purpose of the wave of slow art?A. To advocate creating works of art slowly.B. To protect works of art from being damaged.C. To promote works of art for modern culture.D. To encourage people to consider works more deliberately.4.How would Anne Beate Hovind feel about the city life?A. It’s discouraging.B. It’s awful.C. It’s developed.D. It’s busy.二、七选五详细信息5.难度:中等The running of the bulls is a nine-day traditional Spanish festival in honor of Saint Fermin in Pamplona.

Therefore, students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. To cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.Sports 2: GymWe will be using St. Peter’s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has lots of trees with plenty of shade.

For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car. Knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.As Graduation Day approached, his anxiety grew. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study and handed him a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?", then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family. Realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Then, a telegram arrived, telling him his father had passed away, and willed all his possessions to the son.When he arrived at home, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the bible and turned the pages. From the back of the Bible dropped a car key. It had a tag with the dealer's name and the words… "PAID IN FULL".How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Remember, what may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.24.As graduation day approached the young man became anxious, because______.A. the young man’s father was seriously ill.B. he was anxious to know whether he had passed the exams.C. he was anxiously waiting for the new carD. he felt upset to leave college25.

He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don’t think they will come to visit me.”After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorryabout that. “I’m very sorry, Mr Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn’t come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why? That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night.29. That day Mark Twain went to the town _____.A. to see one of his friendsB. because he wanted to do something there for his writingC. because he was told there were a lot of mosquitoes thereD. to see one of his relatives30. The waiters felt sorry because _____.A. they did something wrong to Mark TwainB. their hotel was too smallC. the room was not very cleanD. there were quite a few mosquitoes in Mark Twain’s room31. All the people present laughed heartily because _____.A. the mosquitoes were very clever and they didn’t come into the wrong roomB. the mosquitoes knew Mark Twain’s room numberC. Mark Twain gave the waiters some nice presentsD. Mark Twain made a joke32. From the story we know _____.A. no mosquitoes troubled Mark Twain in the nightB. the owner of the hotel told the waiters to look after Mark Twain well at nightC.

For a while, silence fell.“I thought that we had a lot of topics to share, but few people were really interested in talking,” she said. “It seemed that there’s a big gap between me and those with hand-held devices (设备)” .Shuai is not the only one feeling segregated from others by mobile technology. According to a latest survey of hundreds of teenagers in Hong Kong 54.29 percent of them would use cellphones while having dinner with their families. It has affected relationships with their parents. It suggests that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting has made us feel more connected than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are now used to a new way of being “alone together.”Actually, sending text messages or writing micro blogs allows us to exchange thoughts. But online connection cannot replace a “real conversation”.Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The exchange of ideas in a conversation sharpens our minds,”she said. She also mentions that burying ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and meeting people.However, experts remind us that it’s unfair to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert points out that, it is still the mobile owners who’re avoiding personal contact.We ourselves use these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting or calling may be an excuse to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “The way to improve conversation is by understanding each other. Simply throwing away mobilephones is not a solution,” she said.32.The best title for the passage would be “_____________”.A. Mobilephone addictionB. Development of mobile technologyC. An unhappy high school friends meetingD. It is the cellphone that ends a real conversation33.The underlined word “segregated”in Paragraph 3 means “_________”A. preventedB. separatedC. protectedD. injured34. Which of the following statements is not true according to Chen Chen?A. It is the mobile users that are to blame for the death of conversation.B. Mobile users avoid real contact with others by sending messages or calling.C. Only by totally forgetting mobile phones can we solve the problem.D. We can better conversation by means of understanding each other.35. Who thinks the exchange of thoughts in a real conversation make us cleverer?A. Shuai YunyunB. Sherry TurkleC. Lan GuoD.

2019-2020年高考英语预测试题(10)预测题阅读理解What is politeness? This sounds like a simple question. In daily life, we often make judgments about what is polite and what is not polite. For example, to offer your seat to the elderly on a bus is considered polite behavior, and to interrupt when someone is talking is considered impolite; to greet someone the first time you meet him in the morning is polite and to stand up to reach for the dish you want at a dinner table is impolite. So politeness can first of all be regarded as a phenomenon, an observable social phenomenon.What I would like to propose is that as an observable social phenomenon, politeness is something superficial, but to account for what is understood at the surface, we should dig into the depth where different cultural values are rooted.When being plimented (赞美), an English-speaking person would readily accept the pliment by saying something like "Thank you" to show his appreciation of the praise, but a Chinese speaker would try to deny the truth of the pliment. They both think they are behaving properly. Yet neither of them would think the other is being polite. The English speaker is being polite to the extent that by accepting and showing appreciation of the pliment, and he avoids hurting the positive face of the person who makes it; the Chinese speaker is showing modesty by denigrating himself, ignoring the fact of the pliment paid to him. As has been mentioned, self-denigration has been at the core of the Chinese understanding of politeness for over two thousand years. The Chinese, in order to show modesty, will go to such lengths as to underrate what he himself has achieved and deny the truth of a plimentary remark.1. According to the first paragraph, politeness can be briefly described as_____.A. proper social phenomenaB. being modestC. showing appreciationD. an observable social phenomenon2. In the author's opinion, the nature of politeness lies in ________.A. something superficialB. what is understood at the surfaceC. different cultural valuesD. the root of different thoughts3. The underlined word "denigrate" in the passage means ________.A. appreciateB. denyC. ignoreD. pliment4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Chinese speakers dislike being plimented.B. English-speaking people are reluctant to accept pliment.C. Chinese tend to show politeness and modesty by denying the truth of praise.D. Chinese people think highly of British politeness while English people thinkpoorly ofChinese politeness.5. What’s the author’s attitude towards Chinese politeness?A. Approving.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. CriticalBSAN FRANCISCO — In the western U.S., Hawaii and elsewhere across the globe, moon watchers were treated Saturday to a rare celestial phenomenon: a total lunar eclipse(月全食).For about 50 minutes starting at 6:06 a.m. PST, the moon was pletely blocked by the Earth's shadow.With only some indirect sunlight able to reach it after passing through the Earth's atmosphere, the moon took on a reddish glow. Since the atmosphere scatters blue light, only red light strikes the moon, giving it a dark red color.Dally Sam, who runs a public relations firm in Hawaii, said it had been cloudy and rainy, but the weather cleared just in time for the eclipse.Around 3 a.m., he awoke, as he usually does, and remembered to step outside the house in time to catch the eclipse about a half hour later. No one else in the neighborhood was up."It was turning that dark red color," Sayre, 47, said, "I’d better grab a camera. To be able to see it just right outside our house was really cool."At the local observatory in Los Angeles, some 300 people, many clutching coffee cups in the cold morning air, sat with blankets and chairs on the observatory's great lawn."It's really a celestial festival out here," John Peter, 39, told the Los Angeles Times as he set up his camera.Lying on a slope north of downtown near the Hollywood sign, the place offers clear views of the sky. Observatory officials alerted the crowd when the eclipse began and spontaneous applause erupted when the celestial event ended.A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon goes through the long shadow cast by the Earth and is blocked from the sunlight that brightens it.The last total lunar eclipse was on June 15 although that was not visible from the U.S. The next one is on April 15, xx, and will be seen in the U.S.6. What do we know about the lunar eclipse from the passage?A. The total lunar eclipse began at about 3:30 a.m.B. The total lunar eclipse ended at about 6:56 a.m.C. The lunar eclipse ended at about 6:56 in the evening.D. The lunar eclipse began at about 6:06 in the evening.7.
