2019年高三英语一轮复习辅导与测试 第1部分 Unit 4 Pygmalion时训练 新人教版选修8.阅读理解Twothirds of the worlds major rivers have now been disrupted with more than 50,000 dams in an attempt to store water and provide power.In the US，there are more than 85,000 dams，disrupting large and small rivers，and in most cases transforming natural flow.The most famous of these，the Hoover Dam，constructed in the 1930s，is mainly responsible for the fact that the Colorado River no longer reaches the ocean.Dams，besides all their attractive benefits，also have negative impacts.Creating a reservoir means a large area must be floodedmunities may lose their land，houses and culturally important sites.Environmentally，the new reservoir can be a paradise for wildlife，especially birds; however，it can cause greenhouse gas emissions and poison the water.Also，the dramatic rise and fall of water levels during dam releases is too extreme for plants and animals to cope with，resulting in dead zones around the shores of reservoirs.Fish that lay their eggs in the shallows，for example，may find a few hours later that those sites are high and dry.Downstream(在下游方向)of a dam，the flow may be reduced so that farmers cannot irrigate their fields.Many rivers run through national borders，which may cause conflict over precious water.Disputes have been continuing between India and Pakistan，and Turkey，Syria and Iraq，for example.Dams dont just block the flow of water.They also prevent fish migrations，and dams are a barrier to sediment (沉淀物)flows.Instead of rushing downriver，sediments get backed up against the dam wall，which causes the reservoir level to increase over time.However，sediments which are rich in nutrients have bee a problem.The fertility of the entire system can be influenced，with soils lost during seasonal rains not being replaced.Perhaps the biggest problem can be seen in deltas，which are sinking into the oceans.Groundwater is being extracted to feed the city，causing the city to sink，and sediments washed away by the ocean are no longer being replaced.The result is that sea level rises in cities from Shanghai to Alexandria.1The Hoover Dam is mentioned in the passage in order to show_.Adams play an important role

ocean”可知，文章中提到胡佛大坝是为了说明大坝可以影响河的流向，故选B。2选D细节理解题。根据第二段末句和第四段首句可知，随着大坝的修建，蓄水淹没了一些文化遗迹，并且导致下游的农民无法灌溉农作物，故选D。3选B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“it can cause greenhouse gas emissions and poison the water”可知，随着水坝的修建，蓄水会释放出温室气体，使水有毒，所以鱼的生活环境会变得危险，故选B。4选A主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲的是修建大坝对环境造成的影响，故选A。.完形填空【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了我在商场前擦车时遇到一位无业游民，他虽然衣衫褴褛，可在我问他是否需要帮助时，他却说了一句话：“我们不都需要帮助吗？”虽然这句话很简单易懂，但却使我受到极大震撼。1选B连接代词what引导主语从句，在从句中作consider的宾语。2选C由文意可知此人衣衫破旧，因而“我”认为他一无所有。looks在此表示“the appearance of sb./sth.”，即外表，符合文意。expressions指面部表情，不符合文意。3选A文章倒数第二段中提到我给了他足够的钱可以买车票，所以A项ride为最佳答案，ride the bus意为“乘公共汽车”。4选Din rag意为“衣衫褴褛”，既然对方为无业游民，他应该是衣衫褴褛，故选D符合语境。5选A从下文dignity“尊严”可知，对方虽然贫穷，但有尊严。注意此处air意为“神态；感觉”。其他选项不符合文意。6选C文章开头提到我在擦车，而下文提到“as I worked”，说明仍在擦车，故选C项。7选A由下文something inside said.he would say“yes”可知，他在旁边静静地看着我干活，故选quietly“轻声地，安静地”。casually意为“偶然地，无意地”；aimlessly意为“漫无目的地，无目标地”；eagerly意为“渴望地，热切地”。8选B由上下文可推知，他一无所有，所以我认为他必然会开口向我要钱，故选B项。considered意为“经过深思熟虑的”；expected意为“预料到的”；designed意为“被设计的”；supposed“信以为真的”。根据句意，应该选expected。9选D当我们之间的沉默继续扩大时，我内心有个声音：“问一下他是否需要什么帮助。”故选D项silence，意为“沉默”。situation意为“形势，情况”；sigh意为“叹气，叹息”；doubt意为“怀疑”。10选A由but profound和下文他说的话可知，他说的话是简单的“Dont we all”。simple意为“简单的”；plex意为“复杂的，综合的”；strange意为“奇怪的”；ripe意为“成熟的”。11选B通过下文Those three little words still.可知，他简单而含义深远的话让我永远难以忘记，故选forget。accept意为“接受”；forget意为“忘记”；respond意为“回答”；choose意为“选择”。12选Chigh意为“高的”，与句中的successful，important并列呼应。句意为“我在此之前一直认为自己地位高、很成功，是个重要人物”，其他选项不符合文意。13选D通过下文like a shotgun，可知他的话对我震动很大。frighten意为“使惊吓”；move意为“移动，使感动”；wound意为“受伤”；hit意为“打，击”。根据句意，应该选hit。14选Areach in my wallet意为“伸手到钱包里拿(钱)”；search意为“搜寻”；look up意为“(在字典上)查找”；expose意为“暴露”。根据文意，A项正确。15选Ashelter在此意为“居所；住处”。从下文的for the day和sleep可以推知，我给他的钱足够买车票、吃饭和寻找住处。16选C从上下文理解可知，他的话是对的，我至今没忘。ring true相当于sound true，听起来是对的、真实的，故选C。17选Dacplish意为“完成；实现”。从上下文理解可知，无论你拥有多少，无论你取得了多大成功，都需要别人的帮助，故选D项。struggle意为“斗争”；devote意为“奉献”；apply意为“申请”。18选C和上文how much对比，应该是how little。19选Abe filled with意为“装满”，从下文even without money or a place to sleep可推知，我们的生活充满问题，甚至可能没钱或没睡觉的地方。其他选项不符文意。20选B通过上文可知，即使生活可能贫穷，我们仍然可以给予别人帮助，故选B项give，意为“给予”。.对话填空1careless2.the3.ambulance4.is being treated5why6.parents7.we8.to drive9.with10will
