AMy college experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly. Of course, most college students shouldn’t be drinking at all, but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol, which makes harm-reducing approaches important.Unfortunately, campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head: rather than filling up before a night of partying, significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.This is a high-risk behavior called “drunkorexia,” which is one part eating disorder, one part alcoholism—a very dangerous combination for college-age students. The term drunkorexia, which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol, was coined about 10 years ago, and it started showing up in medical research around 2012. Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin, pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students, mostly women.Imagine this scenario: A femal e college freshman doesn’t eat anything all day, exercises on an empty stomach, then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours. Because there’s no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly, leading to inebriation and possibly passing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning. That’s drunkorexia.Tavis Glassman, professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio, researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios suc h as the one described above: “With nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly, and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drinking: getting home safely, sexual assault, unintentional injury, fights, hangovers that affect class attendance and grades, and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,” he says.“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system, it can interfere with sleep, lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers,” Hultin says.1. What does the underlined word “inebriated” in paragraph 1 mean?A. excitedB. overwhelmedC. addictedD. drunk2. We can infer from the passage that ____________.A. a large number of college students spend most of their nights partyingB. some college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slimC. There is a direct link between body image and consuming alcoholD. female college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol3. Which of the following may Tavis Glassman agree with?A. With more food in one’s system, he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.B. Drinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.C. Those who don’t attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.D. Alcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.BThe first men and women came to Britain over two and a half million years ago. They were hunters and gatherers of food who used stone tools and weapons. But the British Isles only became islands separate from the rest of Europe about 8,500 years ago, when melting ice formed the English Channel!3,000 years after Britain became an island, new tribes who came by boat from the mainland introduced farming. These tribes built earthworks for protection and as tombs for their dead.Many of these man-made hills can still be seen.Later on, people learned to build stone monuments. The most amazing is Stonehenge, a circle of huge stones begun about 4,500 ye ars ago. Stonehenge is the world’s most famous prehistoric monument. We don’t know what it meant or what it was used for, though many different suggestions have been made.3,000 years ago the climate in Britain became colder and wetter than before, and people had to move down from high ground. A bit later iron started to be sued for tools and weapons instead of bronze.Knowledge of ironworking may have been brought by the Celts, a new wave of immigrants who started to arrive from southern Europe in about 500 BC.What we know about the first people in Britain has been worked out by archaeologists from the remains they left behind them. Pytheas, a Greek, was the first person who could read and write to come to Britain. His visit was in about 330 BC, over 2000 years after Stonehenge was begun. Unfortunately, what Pytheas wrote has been lost, so we don’t have any written record of Britain until the Romans came, almost 300 years after he did!4.This passage mainly tells us _______ .A.The dawn of history in BritainB.How English Channel was formedC.How the British made a living millions of years agoD.When humans appeared on the British Isles5.In this passage “the man-made hill” probably refers to ___________ .A.The small islands in BritainB.Earthworks for protection and as tombsC.The amazing StonehengeD.The farms opened up by the first man6.Why did people move to low ground 3,000 years ago?A.Because iron tools were used for farmingB.Because the climate made it unfit for man to live thereC.Because more people arrived from southern EuropeD.Because the Celts forced them to do so7.Only after ________ do people have written records about Britain.A.the arrival of the CeltsB.Stonehenge was begunC.Pytheas’s visitD.the Romans cameCDuring Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine -year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four differ ent directions. For a child on a bike that’s really confusing!”Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 81,000 - more than the city’s 850,000 inhabitants - and 63% of the population cycle daily.But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are ca rs, cycling tourists and scooters (小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when shewon a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury (评审员) member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that childr en have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park w here children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn a it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents, L otta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”8. Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?A. To teach children how to ride.B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.C. To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.9. Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?A. ImportantB. UnnecessaryC. DifficultD. Valuable10. What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor? .A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.B. She has won a contest about cycling.C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.D. She has given proposals to the city mayor.11. What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?A. CautiousB. FavorableC. AmbiguousD. DisapprovingDGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A c hild’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the RockyMountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guid es, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to s ee what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. “Oh, a few birds, ” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.12. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ________.A. anxious to do wonders.B. sensitive to others’ feelings.C. likely to develop unpleasant habits.D. eager to explore the world around them.13. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.B. To stop complaining all the time.C. To follow the teacher’s advice.D. To admit mistakes honestly.14. The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they _______.A. are very patient in their observation.B. are really fascinated by nature.C. care only about the names of birds.D. question the accuracy of the field guides.15. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should ______.A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world.B. get rid of some bad habits in our daily life.C. open our mind to new things and ideas.D. try our best to protect nature.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年江苏淮阴中学高三英语第二次联考试卷及答案解析
2020年江苏淮阴中学高三英语第二次联考试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhile Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor（监控器）a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer'sLos Angelesapartment, the monitor inPhoenixtracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked remotely to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past？Or was she slowing down？In the battle against cheating, this is thecutting edgeand a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. This technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid — that students haven't searched the Internet to get the right answers.Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses". Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.1. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?A. To correct her typing mistakes.B. To find her secrets in the room.C. To keep her from dishonest deeds.D. To prevent her from slowing down.2. What does the underlined expression "cutting edge" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. sharpening toolB. advanced techniqueC. effective ruleD. dividing line3. How can some programs find out possiblecheaters?A. By scanning the Internet test questions.B. By checking the question answering speed.C. By producing a large number of questions.D. By giving difficult test questions.BThe idea of growing food in a desert would make most people laugh but this is quickly becoming a reality. There are currently two desert farms in the world where quality vegetables are being planted cheaply and easily.Sundrop Farms, based in South Australia, uses experimental greenhouses to grow tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. The biggest challenge of growing food in a desert, obviously, is the lack of available water. The researchers at Sundrop Farms have gotten aroundthis problemby using the sun to desalinate (淡化) sea water. It can also be used to control the temperature of the greenhouses.Without depending on limited resources such as land and fresh water Sundrop Farms has made farming a practice. This can increase the world’s food supplies. Another benefit ofthis kind of farming is that it can be done anywhere, thus reducing the costs of transporting food to distant locations. Yet another benefit is that it reduces the need for pesticides (杀虫剂).Another experimental desert farm is the Sahara Forest Project, which began in Qatar in December 2012. Greenhouses in the farm are cooled by saltwater. Solar power and other technologies are used together to help make vegetation (植被) grow in the desert environment. As deserts have expanded over recent years around the world due to global warming, this project could solve the problem.The result form the Qatar project were better than expected and in June of 2014, Jordan agreed to host another one. This will be much bigger than the Qatar project and the project members will have even more opportunities to test their experiments on a much larger scale. It is not clear yet that desert farming resents the future of farming but these projects have shown some success in the field.4. What does “this problem” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Sea water is bard to purify.B. The desert is short of water.C. The temperature is high in the desert.D. Desert farms aren’t fit to plant vegetables.5. What is one of the characters of desert farming?A. It needs more pesticides.B. It saves delivery costs.C. It has a location limit.D. It solves food waste problems6. What can we know about the Sabara Forest Project?A. It lives up to expectationsB. It can help produce more foodC. It is started to prevent global warmingD. It uses technology to produce saltwater7. What can be inferred about desert farming from the last paragraph?A. It still has problems to solve.B. It represents the future of farming.C. Its early success has aroused interest in it.D. Its aim is to create more job opportunities.CAlaska—The American city Anchorage is recovering from a powerful earthquake Friday that damaged public buildings, homes and roads.The 7.0 earthquake caused buildings to slake. But there have been no reports of deaths, serious injuries or damage. Officials say the quake has not affected transportation of food and her supplies. “The ships are coming in on schedule, the supply lines are at this point working well,” the government told reporters Sunday.The Glenn Highway was probably the road hit hardest by the earthquake. It connects the state's largest city to other parts in the north. Traffic has been heavy and slow—moving since the quake. Drivers are being guided. Groups of workers are trying to rebuild areas where the quake left large holes in the road.People who are still nervous after the major quake have been more upset by more than 1, 700 aftershocks. “Anything that moves, you feel terrified”said David, whose home suffered structural(结构)damage, including a sunken foundation(地基). Actually, Alaska came up with strict building rules after a 9. 2 earthquake in 1964. That was the second most powerful earthquake on record.Government officials said a public health center promises that moneyfor medical treatment will continue tocome. Mental healthy service(心理健康服务)is also available for people hurt by the disaster.Earthquake experts say there is a 4 percent chance of another 7. 0 earthquake or greater in the following week. "The chance is very small, but its not impossible, ” said the expert, Paul Caruso.8. What was the result of the earthquake?A. Buildings were damaged.B. Food supply was cut off.C. Many people were killedD. The ships could not come in.9. Why is the traffic slow on the Glenn Highway?A. Because small quakes hit the city.B. Because falling rocks are a danger.C. Because the highway is badly damaged.D. Because drivers are misled.10. What can you learn from Paul Caruso?A. Another greater earthquake is on the way.B. Chances still exists of another earthquake.C. It will be safe in the 1th week after the quake.D. There is no possibility for more quakes.11. Where can your possibly read the passage?A. Ina story book.B. In a travel journal.C. In a poster.D. In a newspaper.DMany teens may feel anxious sometimes. It’s the kind of nervousness that makes you bite your nails before a big test. We spend more time online than we should. We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media. Young people are developing a false view of life.On the screen, we see what people want to show us. People usually only post photos where they are looking their best. They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time. No one seems sad or lonely. In short, life isfabulous. But sooner or later, our young people compare their real life to it. They find that theirs doesn’t seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students. It’s reported that a lot more college students feel ―overwhelming anxiety. The percentage jumped from 50% in 2011 to 62% in 2016. Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country. It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.Certainly, we can’t blame it on social media alone. We expect toomuch from our children and a lot of these expectations aren’t reasonable. Their schedules are packed with sports, clubs and homework. They don’t haveenough free time. We want our children to succeed, and we don’t care how much it costs.As parents, we must have more balance. On one hand, we push too hard, and on the other hand, we make life too easy for children. We shouldn’t and can’t promise our children that they will always be happy. We shouldn’t try to protect them from the problems of everyday life. Let them solve the problems in person.12. What is the text mainly about?A. What causes teens’ nervousness.B. How to deal with teens’ anxiety.C. What a view of life means to people.D. How to treat social media appropriately.13. What does the underlined word “fabulous” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Wonderful.B. Encouraging.C. Anxious.D. Doubtful.14. Why does the author mention the numbers in paragraph 3?A. To draw teachers’ attention.B. To show teachers’ mental problems.C. To present the seriousness of teens’ anxiety.D. To show adults have more problems than teens.15. What should parents do to help their children out?A. Try to meet their expectations.B. Help them with their homework.C. Give them more free time to play sports.D. Allow them to solve their own problems in life.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

2020江苏高考英语二轮培优新方案：专题限时检测(二十五)阅读理解D篇增分练(三)
专题限时检测(二十五)阅读理解D篇增分练(三)(共2篇，限时20分钟)APerfectThe eyeliner makes the dark circles less visible. The lip gloss hides the trembling. The ponytail hides missing patches of hair. The Abercrombie sweater covers bruises (伤痕). I might look a bit thinner, but everyone will ask about my new diet. My hair might not shine the way it used to, but the pink ribbon will distract curious eyes. One hour of preparation and I look like myself. One hour of preparation and no one will know. One hour out of 24. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth —wasting a twenty-fourth of my day on a lie. But then I see my wispy hair and baggy eyes, and I have to do it.Checking my make-up one last time, I push my sleeves up, though not past my elbows. I slip on a cute pair of flat shoes — heels are too dangerous with shaky legs — and grab my Hollister bag. Padding downstairs, I breathe in the scent of waffles and syrup.“Morning, Mom，” I call.“Morning, baby，” she chirps. “Did you sleep well？”“Better than I have been.”She sighs, and her eyes look a hundred years old for a minute. “Any improvement is good，” she says half-heartedly.“Of course.”“I made waffles.” Her offering.“Thanks, Mom. Smells delicious.” My offering.I sit at the table and she hands me a plate. The thought of all that food turns my stomach, but I force a smile and thank my mother again. She busies herself at the sink and fills the silence with chatter. When she turns around, she takes in the waffles still on my plate, only missing a few bites. I smile apologetically.“I'm not very hungry this morning.”“You'll need your strength for this afternoon.” She bites her lip. She doesn't like to bring it up over breakfast. I eat another bite.“I packed your lunch.”“I'm 18, Mom. I can pack my own lunch. You have more important things to do.”She reaches for the paper sack. “But now I know you'll have something to eat. And you need to eat, okay? You have to keep your strength up.”Sighing, I take the bag. I know this peanut butter and jelly sandwich won't be eaten, not any more than the one yesterday or the day before. Anything consumed after 11 ends up in a plastic basin at 4：07. It's just the way it works.“Hon, have you thought about what I said the other day？” she asks.I_shrug_noncommittally.“Sweetheart, you can't hide this forever. Eventually you're going to miss school and people will start asking questions.”“Mom, I have two months left of high school. I can make it till then. I'm class president and probably will make a graduation speech. I was voted‘Most popular’，‘Most fun to be around’，‘Best smile’ and‘Most likely to succeed’.I'm the girl who's got it all together. People don't want to know that the girl who's got it all together, doesn't have it all together. People don't want to know that girl is dying！”“Honey, don't say that. You're not dying.”“Yes, I am. You heard Dr. Morrison. I have maybe a year left. Mom, listen to me. I don't want to be the girl everyone looks at and whispers, ‘Look at her. Poor thing！’ I can't handle that. I want to be normal. Just for these last two months.”“Okay，”she whispers. “Okay. Just remember, it's okay if you don't have it all toge ther. Sometimes things just fall apart and there's nothing we can do.”“Thanks, Mom.” I grab my bag and lunch and kiss her on the cheek. “I love you.”“I love you too，” my mom replies. This exchange, once taken for granted, is now a vital part of every morning, every afternoon, every night. Three little words, followed by four more, have come to mean more than an entire conversation. They bridge all gaps and disagreements, because we both know there is now a finite number left.Keys in hand, I open the door and blink in the early morning sun. My silver car waits in the driveway and as I walk toward it, I check my reflection in the tinted window. Perfect.语篇解读：本文讲述了因病而时日不多的作者早上上学前和母亲的对话，作者坚持要开完毕业典礼，以最好的面貌和同学们告别。

高考英语-语法填空+阅读理解+任务型阅读-专题练习(二十三)有答案
高考英语专题练习（二十三）语法填空＋阅读理解＋任务型阅读Ⅱ．阅读理解（2014·黑龙江鹤岗一中模拟）People tend to have one of three beliefs about the meaning of work and which category you fall into largely depends on your parents, according to the new research from the University of Michigan.Workers who are job-oriented are those just trying to make a living who much prefer the activities they pursue outside of the office. Career-oriented adults — your typical “workaholic” — value the social status and reputation that comes with professional achievement, and gain much of their identity from their jobs. Calling-oriented people do work that they are passionate about because they want to have a positive impact on the world.In the first empirical study into how these orientations originate, researchers found that how teenagers view their parents' work ethic is central to the development of their own work attitudes.It's not a straightforward transfer of values. People who perceive their father to have a strong career-orientation are more likely to be career-oriented themselves, but career-determined mothers have no effect on their kids' work orientation. The researchers attributed this to generational gender norms. When the study's participants were teenagers, mostly in the 1980s, men were more commonly employed outside of the home and were more likely than women to hold “career” jobs with opportunity for advancement.Mothers do have a notable effect on whether children have a job-orientation mentality. Teenagers who are close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job when they grow up, probably because they've been raised to value social, rather than instrumental, life experiences.Having both parents display the same work ethic has an amplified influence, but only in the case of calling-oriented children. As our society favors money and professional achievement, a child with two calling-oriented parents is more likely to have the confidence to ignore these social pressures and pursue his dreams.Children can affect their parents' work ethic, too. Allowing people to bring their children into the office has been shown to improve efficiency and productivity—and could help raise that next generation of career-oriented workers. 1．If you are proud of being a teacher, and you are enthusiastic about your job, you belong to ________.A．the job-oriented groupB．the career-oriented groupC．the workaholic groupD．the calling-oriented group2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Children valuing their parents' career-orientation will be career-oriented.B．Fathers have a greater influence than mothers on teenagers' attitude towards jobs.C．Calling-oriented mothers have little effect on their children's work orientation.D．Children's attitudes towards jobs aren't related to parents'.3．What does the underlined word “amplified” in Paragraph 6mean?A．Enough.B．Increased.C．Decreased.D．Strong.4．What is the attitude of the child with two calling-oriented parents towards the social pressure?A．He takes no notice of it.B．He thinks too highly of it.C．He looks on it as a difficulty.D．He considers it confusing.Ⅲ．任务型阅读（2014·银川质检） 1 It makes people suffer a lot from it. Why can't they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get. 2When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. 3 You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.4 In China and some other countries, for example, some people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms of colds.There is one interesting thing to note—some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in your body longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. 5 There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: it takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine. So you should trust the function of your body.A．Therefore, there isn't a cure for each one.B．Bodies can indeed do an amazing job on their own.C．How much do you know about the various viruses in the world?D．Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it.E．Different people do different things to deal with colds.F．The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your cold.G．It is easy for many people to catch a cold in spring or fall.语法填空＋阅读理解＋任务型阅读答案Ⅰ．A1．for2．to buy3．was waiting4．how5．amazement 6．her7．when/as8．the9．best10．whichB1．if/whether2．to3．collecting/to collect4．Out5．Interested 6．they7．have been collecting8．roughly / appropriately 9．which10．countriesⅡ．1~4．DBBAⅢ．1～5．GADEB语法填空＋阅读理解＋任务型阅读解析Ⅰ．A1．解析:for考查介词.由语境可知,此处应用for表示目的.我在购买我做志愿者工作所需的物品.2．解析:to buy考查非谓语动词.此处为不定式作目的状语.3．解析:was waiting考查时态.由语境可知,此处描述的是当时正在发生的事,所以用过去进行时.4．解析:how考查宾语从句的引导词.由语境判断应用how.此处表示“挨着我的那位女士接近我,想知道我将如何吃掉我买的这一大盒豆腐”.5．解析:amazement考查词性转换.此处是“to one's＋名词”结构,故空格处应用amaze的名词形式,to my amazement“使我大为惊奇的是”.6．解析:her考查代词.由设空特点看,此处需要限定词,再结合语境“she responded that she felt good. . . ”可推知应用her.7．解析:when/as考查从属连词.此处表示“当她的父母作为难民来到这个国家时”.8．解析:the考查冠词.由语境可知,此处特指当前这个付款的机会,因此用定冠词.9．解析:best考查形容词的最高级.由后面表示范围的定语从句“I had ever received for my voluntary work”可知此处应用最高级形式.10．解析:which考查定语从句的关系词.此处which指代“my voluntary work”,并在定语从句中作主语.B1．解析:if/whether考查宾语从句的引导词.此处表示我想知道你是否可以告诉我一些关于你集邮的事情,故应填if/whether“是否”.2．解析:to考查动词不定式的省略.此处完整的句子应是“I'd be pleased to tell you something about my stamp-collecting. ”,动词不定式所表示的内容与上面相同,动词不定式省略到to.3．解析:collecting/to collect考查非谓语动词.start后接动词时要用动名词或者不定式.4．解析:out考查副词.work out表“计算,统计”之意,为固定短语,符合语境.5．解析:interested考查词性转换.be interested in表“对……感兴趣”之意,为固定搭配,符合语境.6．解析:they考查代词.此处指代“my first packet of stamps”,因此用they来代替.7．解析:have been collecting考查时态.依据时间状语可知,Gibbon这些年一直都在集邮,因此用现在完成进行时,表示动作的持续性.8．解析:roughly/appropriately考查语境.此处表示邮票的大约数目,因此用roughly/appropriately.9．解析:which考查定语从句的关系词.这里是引导非限制性定语从句,关系词代指the Penny Black,且在从句中作主语,因此用which.10．解析:countries考查名词单复数.此处country是可数名词,被these修饰,要用复数形式.Ⅰ．1．解析:选D推理判断题.从第二段最后一句“Calling-oriented people do work that they are passionate aboutbecause they want to have a positive impact on the world. ”特别是“passionate”一词可知答案.2．解析:选B推理判断题.从第四段中的“People who perceive their father to have a strong career-orientation are more likely to be career-oriented themselves, but. . . work orientation. ”可知答案.3．解析:选B词义猜测题.从画线词后面的“a child with two calling-oriented parents is more likely to. . . ”可知,amplified意为“增加的”.4．解析:选A细节理解题.从第六段中的“a child with two calling-oriented parents is more likely to have the confidence to ignore these social pressures and pursue his dreams. ”可知答案.。

专题限时检测(二十三) 阅读理解D篇专练(一)(共2篇，限时20分钟)A(2020·镇江一模)No one knew Prince Edward Street as well as Pierre Dupin.He had delivered milk to the families on the street for thirty years.For the past fifteen years a large white horse named Joseph pulled his milk wagon.Joseph was a gentle horse with beautiful spirit shining out of its eyes, so Pierre named him after Saint Joseph.Every morning at five, Pierre arrived at the milk company's stables to find Joseph waiting for him, Pierre would call, “Good morning, my old friend.”， as he climbed into his seat, while Joseph turned his head toward the driver.And the two would go proudly down the street.Without any order from Pierre, the wagon would roll down three streets.Then it turned right for two streets, before turning left to Saint Catherine Street.The horse finally stopped at the first house on Prince Edward Street.There, Joseph would wait perhaps thirty seconds for Pierre to get down off his seat and put a bottle of milk at the front door.Pierre knew every one of the forty families that got milk.The cooks knew that Pierre could not read or write; so, instead of leaving orders in an empty milk bottle, they simply sang out if they needed an extra bottle.Pierre also had a wonderful memory.When he arrived at the stable he always remembered to tell Jacques, the foreman (领班) of the stables, “The Pacquins took an extra bottle this morning; the Lemoines bought a pint of cream ... ” Most of the drivers had to make out the weekly bills and collect the money.But Jacques, liking Pierre, never asked him to do this.One day the president of the milk company came to inspect the earlymorning milk deliveries.Jacques pointed to Pierre and said：“See how the horse listens and how he turns his head toward Pierre? See the look in that horse's eyes? You know, I think those two share a secret.I have often felt it.He is getting old.Maybe he ought to be given a rest, and a small pension.”“But of course，” the president laughed.“He has been on this job now for thirty years.All who know him love him.Tell him it is time he rested.He will get his pay every week as before.”But Pierre refused to leave his job.He said his life would be nothing if he could not drive Joseph every day.“We are two old men，” he said to Jacques.“Let us wear out together.When Joseph is ready to leave, then I too will do so.”Then one cold morning Jacques had terrible news for Pierre.Jacques said，“Pierre, your horse, Joseph, didn't wake up.He was very old, Pierre.” Jacques said softly.“He is over in his stall, looking very peac eful.Go over and see him.” Pierre took one step forward, then turned.“No...no ... I cannot see Joseph again.You ... , you don't understand, Jacques.”For years Pierre had worn a large heavy cap that came down low over his eyes.It kept out the bitter cold wind.Now,_Jacques_looked_into_Pierre's_eyes_and_he_saw_something_that_sh ocked_him.He_saw_a_dead,_lifeless_look_in_them.“Take the day off, Pierre，” Jacques said.Pierre walked to the corner and stepped into the street.There was a warning shout from the driver of a big truck ... there was the screech (尖锐的刹车声) of rubber tires as the truck tried to stop.But Pierre heard nothing.Five minutes later a doctor said, “He's dead... , killed instantly.”“I couldn't help it，” the truck driver said.“He walked in fro nt of my truck.He never saw it, I guess.Why, he walked as though he were blind.”The doctor bent down.“Blind？Of course, this man has been blind for five years.”He turned to Jacques, “Didn't you know he was blind？”“No ... no ... ” Jacques said softly.“None of us knew.Only one ... only one knew — a friend of his, named Joseph ... It was a secret, I think, just between those two.”A．Joseph was named after an unknown manB．Pierre knew all the small streets in the city better than anyone else C．Joseph managed to deliver milk by itself even without Pierre's company D．Pierre and Joseph seemed to understand each other and cooperated very well解析：选D 推理判断题。
前三段中我们可以很明显的看到不需要主人Pierre Dupin的口令，Joseph也知道他们要去的地方。
所以他们的配合非常的默契，合作得很好。
2．Why did Pierre refuse to leave his job?A．He thought he was not old enough to retire.B．The pension was too small to support his life.C．He was unwilling to be separated from Joseph.D．He wanted to get promoted to foreman.解析：选 C 细节理解题。
根据第七段第二句“He said his life would be nothing if he could not drive Joseph every day.”可知，他不肯离职是因为他不愿意和Joseph分开。
