2020年新高考高三英语阅读专练(含答案精析)

2020年新高考高三英语阅读专练(含答案精析)AMumbai’s chefs were quick to spot the latest threat facing India’s economy. As they searched for ingredients in Crawford market, where vendors sell fruit, vegetables and other kitchen staples, they began hearing prices quoted not per kilogram, but per quarter-kilo—a way attempting to mask price increases. Returning from a recent shopping activity, one chef checked off the items rising sharply in price: tomatoes, cabbages, fish, spices—almost every ingredient, in fact, in the Indian cookbook.The vendors had some plausible excuses. The weather has been changeable, and delivery systems unreliable. But although an increase in inflation(通货膨胀) was widely foreseen, the severity of it was not. Consumer prices rose by over 7.3% in December, compared with a year earlier, the biggest jump since July 2014.Various difficulties will complicate the government’s efforts to fight an economic slowdown. India’s GDP grew by only 4.5% in the third quarter compared with a year earlier. That figure would have been as low as 3.1% were it not for a hurried government-spending activity. But any increase in demand could prompt an offsetting response from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the central bank. It may choose to extended stagnation(停滞) so as to avoid the uglier scenery of stagflation(滞胀).Stagflation usually begins with a setback to supply, such as India’s unseasonal rains. These misfortunes both lower output and lift costs. But once prices have increased sufficiently to reflect the short supply, they should in principle stop rising. Some economists expect inflation to begin falling as soon as February. After all, core inflation, which excludes food and fuel prices, remains below 4%.The problem is that before inflation disappears, Indians may start believing it will stay, making it more likely to persist. The RBI’s inflation-targeting framework, which was adopted in 2015, was supposed to fight this tendency. But the framework has “yet to be fully tested”, according to a recent lecture by Raghuram, the former RBI governor who introduced it.1. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1?A. To give advice on how to buy cheap ingredients.B. To make an explanation for price increases.C. To lead to the topic by presenting an example.D. To emphasize the hard life of Indian chefs.2. What’s the possible GDP growth rate of India without the government spending?A. 4.5%.B. 7.3%.C. 3.1%.D. 4%.3. Which of the following is NOT true about inflation -targeting framework?A. This framework was believed to control the inflation.B. This framework has been tested to be effective.C. This framework was introduced by the former RBI governor.D. This framework was adopted in 2015.【答案】1~3 CCB【解析】本文是一篇说明文,说明印度国内的通货膨胀问题。

Rolling hills.BWhen "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was first shown to the public last month,a group of excited animal activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard.But they werenˈt there to throw red paint on fur﹣coat﹣wearing film stars.Instead,one activist,dressed in a full﹣body monkey suit,had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers:"Thanks for not using real apes(猿)!"The creative team behind "Apes" used motion﹣capture(动作捕捉)technology to create digitalized animals,spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actorˈs performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image(图象).In this case,one of a realistic﹣looking ape.Yet "Apes" is more exception than the rule.In fact,Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately.One nonprofit organization,which monitors the treatment of animals in filmed entertainment,is keeping tabs on more than 2,000 productions this year.Already,a number of films,including "Water for Elephants," "The Hangover Part Ⅱ" and "Zookeeper," have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them havenˈt been treated properly.In some cases,itˈs not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried;itˈs the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns.And there are questions about the films made outside the States,which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the States.4.Why did the animal activists gather on Hollywood Boulevard?A. To see famous film stars.B. To oppose wearing fur coats.C. To raise money for animal protection.D. To express thanks to some filmmakers.5.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A.

They would lose popularity.CWith the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(孤独),more families are choosing to live together.The doorway to peace and quiet,for Nick Bright at least,leads straight to his mother-in-law:she lives on the ground floor,while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol—one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof.They share a front door and a washing machine,but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen,bathroom,bedroom and living room on the ground floor."We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house," says Kathryn Whitehead.Rita cuts in:"We spoke more with Nick because I think itˈs a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law."And what does Nick think?"From my standpoint,it all seems to work very well.Would I recommend it?Yes,I think I would."Itˈs hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him,but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time.Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001 to 419,000 in 2013.Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common.Some people live with their elderly parents;many more adult children are returning to the family home,if they ever left.It is said that about 20% of 25﹣34-year-olds live with their parents,compared with 16% in 1991.The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.Stories like that are more common in parts of the world,where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted.In India,particularly outside cities,young women are expected to move in with their husbandˈs family when they get married.8.Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol?A. Nick.B. Rita.C. Kathryn.D. The daughters.9.What is Nickˈs attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in-law?A. Positive.B. Carefree.C. Tolerant.D. Unwilling.10.What is the authorˈs statement about multigenerational family based on?A. Family traditions.B. Financial reports.C. Published statistics.D. Public opinions.11.What is the text mainly about?A. Lifestyles in different countries.B. Conflicts between generations.C. A housing problem in Britain.D. A rising trend of living in the UK.DWe are the products of evolution,and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago.As scientists look deeper into our genes(基因),they are finding examples of humanevolution in just the past few thousand years.People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes.Cattle-raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a mutation (突变)that helps them digest milk as adults.On Thursday in an article published in Cell,a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation—not to air or to food,but to the ocean.A group of sea﹣dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers.The Bajau,as these people are known,number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia,Malaysia and the Philippines.They have traditionally lived on houseboats;in recent times,t heyˈve also built houses on stilts(支柱)in coastal waters."They are simply a stranger to the land," said Rodney C.Jubilado,a University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau.Dr.Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines.They made a living as divers,spearfishing or harvesting shellfish."We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders," Dr.Jubilado said."I could see them actually walking under the sea."In 2015,Melissa Ilardo,then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen,heard about the Bajau.She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them."It seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population," said Dr.Ilardo.She also said there were likelya number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.12.What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1?A. Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers.B. New knowledge of human evolution.C. Recent findings of human origin.D. Significance of food selection.13.Where do the Bajau build their houses?A. In valleys.B. Near rivers.C. On the beach.D. Off the coast.14.Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau?A. They could walk on stilts all day.B. They had a superb way of fishing.C. They could stay long underwater.D. They lived on both land and water.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Bodies Remodeled for a Life at SeaB. Highlandersˈ Survival SkillsC. Basic Methods of Genetic ResearchD.

高考英语阅读理解专题训练AThe Gunpowder Plot was a conspiracy(阴谋) to kill King James Ⅰ,as well as the members of the House of Lords and Commons at the re-opening of Parliament.It was designed by a group of Catholics in protest against the anti-Catholic laws that were being introduced by the king.Robert Catesby was the leader of the group.It was he and his cousin,Thomas Wintour,and two other friends,Thomas Percy and John Wright,who formed the center of the group.They were joined by nine more men;among them was Guy Fawkes,from the city of York in the north of England.Fawkes found a store room directly under the House of Lords and rented it out under the false name of John Johnson.The conspirators stored thirty-six barrels of gunpowder there,and Fawkes,who was an explosives expert,was to light the fuses(引信) on 5th November 1605.The plot failed because one of the conspirators,Francis Tresham,sent a letter to his relative,who was a member of the House of Lords.The letter warned him not to attend the opening ceremony of Parliament.The letter was passed on to the authorities,who took action.Guy Fawkes was found in the cellar on the night of 4th November with the thirty-six barrels and a number of fuses.He was imprisoned and ill-treated,eventually giving away the names of the conspirators.Soldiers of the king surrounded Holbeach House,in the Midlands,where they knew the conspirators to be hiding.In the fight that followed,four of them were shot dead,including Catesby and Percy,who were actually killed by the same bullet.The others were imprisoned and hanged along with Guy Fawkes on 31st January 1606.These days,on 5th November,children all over Britain celebrate Guy Fawkes Night by building huge bonfires and lighting fireworks.It’s a family tradition and an occasion to eat potatoes baked by the flames.There is always a “guy”on top of the fire,a model of Guy Fawkes,dressed in the clothes of the 17th century.1.Francis Tresham wrote the letter to his relative to .A.warn him of the danger of being killedB.reveal the names of the conspiratorsC.protect the House of LordsD.report the plot to the authorities答案 A解析细节理解题。

When traveling on a budget,every dollarcounts.Unfortunately,the cost of tickets alone can make a serious hole in your savings.Don't let that stop you from taking your dream vacation,though.According to Jeff Klee,CEO of ,there is a “sweet spot” to get the biggest bang for your buck.“The most important rule is fairly obvious: don't wait until the last minute,as that rarely works out,”he said in a statement.“But bey ond that,you also want to be careful not to buy too early.”Still,that's easier said than done.Finding the most cost-efficient time to book is tough.Luckily,somebody did the math—so you don't have to.Data crunchers(处理器) from the online travel ageney surveyed over 917 million fares to determine the day with the cheapest rates. Here's what they found:while prices tend to stay the same between 320 and 106 days before a trip,they start dropping at the 105day mark.That said,you might be tempted to book the moment prices drop.But holdon!
