2019-2020年高考英语一轮总复习第一部分教材知识梳理Unit4Earthquakes练习新人教版必修一、阅读理解(共7小题;每小题2分,满分14分)AScientists at UC Berkeley released a video showing an earthquake early-warning system that sent an alert before the magnitude-6.0 Napa earthquake on Sunday morning.Officials said the system provided an alert 10 seconds before the quake was felt.California is working to plete a statewide system,which could be pleted in the next few years.Once fully developed,the system could give downtown Los Angeles 40 to 50 seconds of warning that the “Big One” was headed from the San Andreas fault,giving time for elevators to stop at the next floor and open up,firefighters to open up garage doors,high-speed trains to slow down to avoid derailment and surgeons to take the scalpel(手术刀) out of a patient.A lack of funds,however,has slowed the systems progress.The system works because while earthquakes travel at the speed of sound,sensors that initially detect the shaking near the epicenter of a quake can send a message fasterat the speed of lightto warn residents farther away that the quake is ing.Rep.Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) said the successful test showed the need for the system.“While this was not the big one,we need to be prepared to save lives and protect vital infrastructure(基础设施)even a few seconds of warning will allow people to seek cover,automatically slow or stop trains,pause surgeries and more,” he said in a statement.1.It will take a few years to finish the statewide earthquake early-warning system because .A.its a hard workB.theres no enough moneyC.its a large systemD.theres no enough workers2.Which can be inferred from the passage?A.The system can send an alert before an earthquake starts.B.The system works based on the difference of the speed between sound and light.C.Even warning a few seconds ahead can give time to save many lives and vital infrastructure.D.After the system is pleted,people will not be afraid of earthquakes in California.3.The word “while” in the last paragraph means .A.thoughB.howeverC.andD.because【文章大意】本文为说明文,主要介绍了美国加州的地震预警系统。1.B细节理解题。根据第五段“A lack of funds,however,has slowed the systems progress.”可知,由于资金不足,该系统的建设进度较为缓慢。2.C推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“.even a few seconds of warning will allow people to seek cover.”可知,C项正确。3.A词义推测题。根据最后一段while所引导的分句和主句意思可判断,前后为转折关系,意思是“虽然但是”,故选A项。BDear Editor,I shared a hotel life with my 20-year-old stepson,a sophomore(大二学生) in college.I couldnt resist reading the texts on his phone,which he left in the bathroom,and guessed that he and his friends were cheating on tests.I want to tell my husband,but if we confront(面对) him,my stepson will know I was checking his phone.Knowing I violated that trust will worsen an already weak relationship.Yet I find cheating wrong.What should I do?HELEN,PENNSYI.VANIAIm glad youve taken such a hard-line(强硬的) attitude to your stepsons cheating.I mean,what if he grows up to be the kind of person who reads other peoples private text messages without their permission?You should not have been looking at this kids phone.But you cant unlearn whatever youve learned.You should first tell him that you read his text messages.You should also inform him of the cheating.But you need to start from the position that youre equally guilty.Dear Editor,While taking out the recycling,I happened to look into our neighbors window.I saw a gun on the dining room table in the middle of a group of guys.The house is currently inhabited by the owners college-age son and his friends.I know that its legal to possess such weapons.But Im unfortable with our two children living so close to this situation.What should I do?BOB,TUCSONThis question is similar to the previous one except for one key difference that changes everything:intent.So what youre essentially asking is this:“Is it OK to mention something to someone who might care,even if its not your business?” The answer is yes.Theres nothing wrong about having a dialogue about a subject thats potentially meaningful.1.Whats the problem with Helen?A.She had a difficult relationship with her stepson.B.She was caught reading her stepsons texts.C.She wondered whether to let a secret out.D.She didnt know how to face her stepson.2.What does the editor think of Helens action?A.Its shameful.B.Its reasonable.C.Its forgivable.D.Its accidental.3.Both the two letters writers.A.did something wrong deliberatelyB.turned a

neighbor to get a gun permitD.remind the young to keep off his children【文章大意】本文是书信文体,两位读者写信给编辑分享他们的问题并寻求帮助。1.C细节理解题。根据第一段可知,Helen看过继子手机上的短信,知道他跟他的朋友考试作弊。因此她不知道是否该说出这个秘密。故选C项。2.A细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“But you need to start from the position that youre equally guilty.”可知,编辑认为Helen的行为是可耻的。故选A项。3.D推理判断题。根据两位作者给编辑所写的信可知,第一封信的作者介绍她看到继子的手机短信而得知他和朋友考试作弊的事情;第二封信的作者介绍他无意中看到邻居的桌上有一把枪。由此可推断,两封信的作者都觉得可能会有问题。故选D项。4.B推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“Theres nothing wrong about having a dialogue about a subject thats potentially meaningful.”可知,编辑建议Bob跟邻居好好谈谈。故选B项。二、语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)A Frenchman went to a small Italian town 1. stayed with his wife at the best hotel there.One

me?”可知她在猜测。16.C根据上文可知这个玩具是送给她的,因此“我”点了点头。nod“点头”。17.B“我”做了一件好事,因此那位美国人对“我”的行为表示感激。be grateful for“为而感谢”。18.B此处是“我”的感想:那一瞬间,我们不再是陌生人了。19.D“我”同她握了握手,她的笑容使“我”高兴起来。make ones

organized so that they can learn more about whats going on inside school.(xx山西山大附中期中考试)1.第1句:offeroffered。现在完成时由“have/has+过去分词”构成。2.第1句:withfrom。固定搭配choose
