2019-2020年高考英语二轮专题复习精练 阅读理解(13)xx宁夏银川市高三年级模拟考试 Well, there is no doubt about it that time seems to be flying!It feels like you just get the holidays trappings_and_trimmings put away and its time to get them out again. When we interviewed women for our book Love for Grownups, we discovered that as the holidays came to an end, women looked to the New Year with both anticipation and a bit of dread. How can you look at the New Year as a fresh start? Here are some ideas: Keep your resolutions reasonable. Sure, we all might want to put “lose ten pounds by Valentines Day” on our resolution list, but lets be practical here the odds of that happening are probably pretty slim, but if you do achieve that goal, good for you! Try thinking of more“life changing”resolutions like“try something new this year”or“get in touch with friends from college” that kind of thing. The pounds will take care of themselves.Use deadlines to help you do things youve put off. One woman we interviewed for our book told us that she and her husband had been meaning to rewrite their wills for over three years and still hadnt gotten around to it.One of her friends finally said,“Use your wedding anniversary as the deadline for writing your wills.Tell yourselves youll have it done before you celebrate.”And they did.Look at the calendar and think ahead.When you get your calendar for xx,think if there is something youd like to do in,say,summer or fall,and plan ahead.If youve been trying to take the kids camping for two years but somehow it never happens, this is the year to look ahead and say“lets go the second week in August”If it turns out you have to move your trip,fine,but at least youve got it on the calendar!Remember that the beginning of every year is a new,fresh start.You may not achieve all of your goals,but every little bit will help make this year even better than the last.1The underlined part“trappings and trimmings” in Paragraph 1 means “_”Afruits BequipmentCfurniture Ddecorations2Whats the authors proper advice on taking the kids camping?AYou should do it in summer or fall.BYoud better plan for two years.CYour should get it on the calendar first.DYou have to go the second week.3What could be the best title for the text?AKeep Your Determinations ReasonableBNew Year,Same YouBut BetterCUse Deadlines to Help You Do ThingsDLook and Think Ahead文章大意文章为说明文,介绍了新年规划以及如何落实的问题。1D。考查词义猜测。综合第一段第一、二句话可知,时间飞快,你刚把假日装饰收起,又到了把它们拿出来的时候了,故画线词意为“装饰物”。2C。考查细节理解。文章第四段提到“If it turns out you have to move your trip,fine,but at least youve got it on the calendar”可知,不管会不会改变行程,首先要将计划记录在日历上。3B。考查主旨大意。A、C、D选项分别是对第二、三、四段的归纳,只有B项具有概括性。BA nation mourns the loss of its former leader, Nelson Mandela, who has died after a long illness.

He also joined the African National Congress, a group that fought for racial equality.In 1948, the government introduced apartheid, which left the countrys nonwhite majority with few economic opportunities.

The result will be an eyecatching garden which brightens up the popular tourist route, near the Rubens at the Palace Hotel, and stops it from flooding.Containing more than 20 seasonal plant species, the wall required 16 tons of soil and will be capable of storing up to 10,000 litres of water. The project, backed by London Mayor Boris Johnson, was launched with the aim of dealing with a key environmental challenge in London.According to the Environment Agency, there are around 534,000 properties in London on the Thames flood plain and one in four are at risk of flooding. This is partly due to the low absorbency of urban surfaces.Matthew Pencharz, the Mayors Advisor for Environment and Energy, said, “London has plenty of trees, parks, gardens and increasing numbers of living roofs, which can increase resilience(适应力) to extreme weather. The Mayor is encouraging more green programs like the living wall to make sure London can continue to pete, not only as the greenest city in Europe, but as the best city on the earth.”A similar living wall was built in Islington in xx but ended in disappointment after the watering system failed and all the plants died.At that time critics accused the council of wasting 100,000 of taxpayers money on a “green extravagance (奢侈品)”. The Victoria project is believed to be the largest of its kind in the country.Ruth Duston, CEO of Victoria BID, said,“Building the living wall has a longterm positive impact on the environment. It delivers a model of best practice for London.”The flowers have been chosen to ensure the wall is in bloom all year round, attracting wildlife such as birds, butterflies and bees.Armando Raish, managing director of Treebox, said,“Due to the variety of plants, we expect the living wall to significantly increase the number and variety of bugs and bees in this part of Victoria.”1The“living wall” was designed to _.A. display some unusual plantsB. prevent flooding when it rainsC. store rainwater for the citizensD. attract more tourists to London2The underlined word“backed”in Paragraph 2 probably can be replaced by_.A. criticizedB. constructedC. supported D. rejected3Why are 25% of the buildings on the Thames flood plain at risk of flooding?A. Because the buildings are near the river.B. Because it rains heavily all the year round.C. Because there are few trees and plants in London.D. Because the ground doesnt absorb much rainwater.4Which would be the best title of the text?A. A Beautiful Garden CityB. Londons Living Wall of GreenC. More Species in Central LondonD. Creative Way to Fight Flooding文章大意在伦敦的维多利亚火车站附近建起了能种植万余株植物的墙体。在下大雨的时候,雨水可以用来浇这些植物,预防伦敦市区泛滥成灾。1B。考查细节理解。根据第一段的内容可知,这道种植植物的墙建在维多利亚火车站附近,目的是用雨水浇这些植物,预防伦敦市区泛滥成灾。2C。考查词义猜测。从第四段中伦敦市长顾问的话“The Mayor is encouraging more green programs like the living wall to make sure.”中可以推断出,市长对该项目的态度是支持的。画线的单词backed 意为“支持”,可被 supported 代替。criticize “批评”;construct“建造”;reject“拒绝”。3D。考查细节理解。根据第三段的内容可知,在伦敦市的泰晤士河的洪泛区,有大约534,000处房产,其中的四分之一面临被淹的危险。部分原因是城市地表的吸收能力低。4B。考查标题判断。本文向读者介绍了英国伦敦市治理雨水泛滥的新举措,建造一道种植植物的墙。故选B项。Cxx兰州、靖远名校高三模拟考试Steve was blue collar;my collar was white.He was union;I was management.He worked with molten steel;I slaved over a hot word processor.He worked different shifts at different time.My job was strictly 9to5.However, we lived in the same neighborhood,and we went to the same church.I knew his family,and he knew mine.We could talk openly with each other,and we usually did.One day I was taking some VIPs on a tour of the steel mill at which we were both employed and I saw him out by the blast furnace. He was covered with sweat and soot as he worked confidently just a few feet from metal, so hot that a miscue(失误) would melt him, me and the tour van I was driving instantly.“I dont know how you do that,” I told him when I saw him at church the following Sunday. “Its so hot up there,even in the dead of winter. And if you make a mistake, people die. How do you handle the pressure?”He scoffed at my question. “Its no big deal,” he said. “Ive been doing this for years. The furnace pretty much runs itself. Im_just_there_for_the_ride.”“Well, Im glad its you and not me,” I said. “I couldnt do what you do.” A few weeks later, Steve and his crew came into the office to pick up some tickets for a football game the pany was sponsoring. I was on a tight deadline to deliver some advertising copy, so after I greeted Steve, I returned to my puter to continue working while my staff took care of the tickets. After a few minutes of tiptiptapping on my keyboard, I had that funny, awkward feeling that I had an audience. I glanced up and saw Steve leaning against the wall,watching me.“I dont know how you do that,”he said.“Theres so much stuff going on up here.I dont know how you keep track of everything.And if you make a mistake,millions of people are going to hear it on the radio.How do you handle the pressure?”I scoffed at his question,even though it sounded eerily familiar.“Its no big deal,”I said.“Ive been doing this for years.Most of this stuff writes itself.Im just here to make sure it all gets to the right places on time.”“Well,Im glad its you and not me,”Steve said.“I couldnt do what you do.”It wasnt until Steve left the office that I realized we had pretty much had the exact same conversation twiceonce with regard to his work and once with regard to mine.Without even trying,Steve and I had stumbled on a simple fact of life in the workplace:it takes all kinds.1It can be learned from the first paragraph that Steve and the author_.Aworked for different paniesBhad obviously different jobsCworked in shifts at different timeDargued at times,but got along well2What does the underlined sentence mean?ANo one could do this work except Steve.BSteves job was a bit dangerous.CIt was an easy job for Steve.DSteve was good at handling pressure.3Why was the author busy on his keyboard when Steve came for tickets?AHe had to deliver sales reports.BHe was engaged in an advertising copy.CHe was organizing a football game.DHe was on a tight deadline to create a report.4What could be the best title of the text?AIts No Big DealBEvery Man Has His StrengthsCMake a Difference in JobsDIt Takes All Kinds 文章大意作者通过讲述他与朋友在同一家公司上班的故事告诉读者一个简单的道理社会需要各种各样的工作。1B。考查推理判断。 从第一段内容可知,史蒂夫与钢水打交道,作者与文字处理打交道,可见他们的工作明显不同。2C。 考查推理判断。 由第四段中的信息“Its no big deal” “Ive been doing this for years.The furnace pretty much runs itself.”可知,史蒂夫认为自己可以轻松驾驭这份工作。3B。考查细节理解。根据第六段中的信息“I was on a tight deadline to deliver some advertising copy, so after I greeted Steve, I returned to my puter to continue working”可知,作者忙于做广告文案。4D。考查推理判断。作者在最后一段对自己与Steve的两次对话进行了思考,认识到一个简单的事实:it takes all kinds(需要各种各样的工作),所以最佳标题为D项。B
