(建议用时:45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2020·成都高三第一次诊断)Young trees don’t just grow;they developa personality and learn more about their environment and how they shouldbest behave in it. They also help each other out whenever there’s trouble.Personality, just as among people, varies among trees. Some are anxious,some bold. On the author’s land,there are three oak trees growing closetogether. One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others. Since they all experience the same temperature,the same soil and the same length of day, such variables can’t be the explanation. So what’s happening?Well,this tree is simply more careful than the others. Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients. However, the longer a tree keeps its leaves, the higher the risk of injury.Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes. A tree, for example, keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again. This leads to several other conclusions: trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere. Obviously, trees don’t have brains, but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.But trees aren’t only clever when it comes to caring for themselves. They also support each other whenever there’s trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients. For example, one time the author found a very old tree stump. Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil. But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living. How was this possible?Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system, and had been for at least 400 years!Why do trees do__such__a__thing?It’s simple: it’s better together. Trees need the forest; it protects them from storms, provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了树的智慧:每棵树都有它不同的个性,遇到困难时它们也会互相帮助。
研究发现,树不但能自己做决定,还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。
1.Why does the author mention the three oak trees?A.To illustrate trees can learn from experiences.B.To show trees can make independent decisions.C.To explain trees are quite supportive to each other.D.To prove trees have the same personalities as humans.B解析:推理判断题。
根据第二段第四句“One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others.”可知,三棵橡树中,有一棵总比其他两棵先落叶;结合第三段第一句“Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes.”可知,树木能自己做决定。
据此可推知,作者提及三棵橡树旨在说明树木可以自己做决定,故B项正确。
2.According to the text, which of the following best describes general features of trees?A.Anxious and bold.B.Smart and adventurous.C.Helpful and wellbehaved.D.Adaptable and supportive.D解析:推理判断题。
根据第三段第一句“Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes.”,并结合第三段内容可知,树木不仅能自己做决定,还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。
据此可推知,树木适应能力强。
根据第四段第一、二句“But trees aren’t only clever when it comes to caring for themselves. They also support each other whenever there’s trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients.”可知,树木不仅善于照顾自己,当遇到困难时,它们会发出警告,相互支持,甚至照顾生病、虚弱的同类;据此可推知,树木之间互帮互助,故D项正确。
3.What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing”mean?A.Give warnings.B.Offer assistance.C.Depend on others. D.Provide nutrients.B解析:词义猜测题。
根据第四段尾句“Well,the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system, and had been for at least 400 years!”可知,树桩是由它的邻居从根处给予营养来滋养的;结合第五段第一句“Why do trees do__such__a__thing?”和其后的内容可知,该处表示“为什么树木要互相帮助?”,故画线短语是指提供帮助,故B 项正确。
4.Where does this text most probably come from?A.A public lecture. B.A science book.C.An experiment report. D.A travel journal.B解析:文章出处题。
通读全文可知,本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了树的智慧:每棵树都有它不同的个性,遇到困难时它们也会互相帮助。
研究发现,树不但能自己做决定,还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。
据此可推知,本文最可能选自科学书籍,故B项正确。

(建议用时:35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·长沙统一模拟)Kendrick Lamar hasn’t had much luck when it comes towinning a Grammy. But that’s OK:The US rapper has just won a Pulitzer Prize for hismusic.In 2014, in 2016, and again in 2018, Lamar was nominated(提名) for an album of the year Grammy. Each time, he was beaten out, first by Taylor Swift, next by Daft Punk, and most recently by Bruno Mars.But the Pulitzer Prize committee was inspired enough by Lamar’s 2017 album, Damn., to award the Pulitzer Prize in music on April 16. It’s an amazing album that documents the real life of modern AfricanAmericans in South Los Angeles with wildly accomplished beats and rhythms.Lamar’s win is considered to be historical. The Pulitzers have long displayed their preference towards high art rather than the pop culture of the masses. So it’s not just that no rapper has ever won a Pulitzer: no pop music maker has ever won one in the award’s history.But Lamar is not just a singer—he’s clever at using language. Like the best writers, his music describes small moments that illustrate larger points. His songs are about his experience as a black man who grew up in California, struggled, got into trouble, and found his way out by working hard and making sense of the history and reality in the US.“He’s an artist who challenges ideas,”said Ryan Coogler, director of the blockbuster(大片) Black Panther, for which Lamar created music. “One big theme in our film is this idea of ‘What does it mean to be African?’ Lamar in his music is very exactly and directly challenging that question.”Good artists entertain us, great artists make us think, and exceptional artists help us empathize(产生共鸣).There are a lot of good, great, even exceptional artists in rock, pop, country, and hiphop. But only Lamar has won a Pulitzer Prize.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to help one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children. Who are able from a young age to gather their own food.In the laboratory, chimps don’t naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no great effort, a plate that also provides food for a nei ghbor to the next cage, he will pull at random ---he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.Human children, on the other hand, are extremely corporative. From the earliest ages, they desire to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of expensive with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see an unrelated adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and shareare not taught .but naturally possessed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train children to behave socially. Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence develops in children before their general cognitive(认知的)skills,at least when compared with chimps..In tests conducted by Tomtasell, the chi ldren did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests, but were con sider ably better at understanding the social worldThe core of what children’s mind have and chimps’don’t is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a “we”, a group that intends to work toward a shared goal.21. What can we learn from the experiment with chimps?A. Chimps seldom care about others’interests.B. Chimps tend to provide food for their children.C. Chimps like to take in their neighbors’food.D. Chimps naturally share food with each other.22. Michael Tomasello’s tests on young children indicate that they____.A. have the instinct to help othersB. know how to offer help to adultsC. know the world better than chimpsD. trust adults with their hands full23. The passage is mainly about ____.A. the helping behaviors of young childrenB. ways to train children’s shared intentionalityC. cooperation as a distinctive human natureD. the development of intelligence in childrenBEl Nifio, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects, both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nifio, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nifio in 1997-98 helped American’s economy grow by $15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvests, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural in rich countries is greater than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱)in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施)can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道)make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Nino’s harmfuleffects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.24. What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?A. It is named after a South American fisherman.B. It takes place almost every year all over the world.C. It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Chris tmas.D. It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.25. What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?A. Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B. Droughts become more harmful than floods.C. Rich countries’gains are greater than their losses.D. Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.26. The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest thatA. more investment should go to risk reductionB. governments of poor countries need more aidC. victims of El Nino deserve more compensationD. recovery and reconstruction should come first27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce El Nino and its origin.B. To explain the consequences of El Nino.C. To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D. To urge people to prepare for El Nino.四. 单句填空(每题1.5分,共15分)28. Ladies and gentlemen, please remain __________ (seat) until the plane has come to a complete stop.29.

AIn ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, a bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dre ams of head-cutting!It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(传递). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctoradvising his patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he fails to get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people a re not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toasted beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh,that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的) person is sure to have.1.From “Dreams of headcutting!”(Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer________.A.was reminded of the cruel pharaohB.was mad at the sales agentC.wished that the sales agent would have bad dreamsD.dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night2.Which of the following is true?A.The author really appreciated the neighbor’s warning.B.From the passage we know that it is the bad news that makes someone angry.C.If the runner brought to the pharaoh unhappy news, he would betreated like a prince.D.When we want to deliver any bad news, we should share the feeling of the receiver.3.What is the main idea of the text?A.Receiving bad news requires great courage.B.Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.C.Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication.D.Learning ancient traditions can be useful.4.In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was________.A.not helpful B.not considerateC.friendly D.warm-heartedBAt the first show of The Fault in Our Stars in New York City, the scene I found most difficult to watch was when 16-year-old Hazel, who has Stage 4 thyroid (甲状腺) cancer, wakes up in the middle of the night out of breath.It brought me back to one night in 2008, when I watched my father carry my sister Esther from her bedroom to an ambulance. She was 14 at the time, struggling with thyroid cancer that had spread to her lungs. We held hands and cried as we watched her lying there, so fragile. We didn't think she'd make it through the night. Yet, like Hazel, she regained her strength. She lived for two more beautiful and hard years —until just after her 16th birthday, in August 2010.Author John Green showed respect for Esther at the beginning of his book. “I could never have written The Fault in Our Stars without knowing Esther. Every word in that book depends on her,” Green wrote.I'm not sure what Esther would have thought of it. But watching the movie, I couldn't help feeling I was seeing my little sister on the screen. After a doctor offers a new machine, Hazel interrupts, “Why? I like the old machine.” My sister could be similarly playful. “This oxygen machine is cool, and I like it. I name it Denmark,” she said in one video.However, Hazel is not supposed to be Esther. The Fault in Our Stars is a love story between two teenagers. My sister never got to have a relationship like that. Witnessing a life and a romance (浪漫故事) she could have had made me feel unbearably sad and yet, strangely, uplifted. It's as if,through Hazel, my sister is able to continue having new experiences. As if she got a sequel (续集).5.The movie reminded the author of ________.A.her 16th birthdayB.her happy family lifeC.her sister suffering from cancerD.her father encouraging her sister6.Which of the following can be used to describe Esther?A.Funny.

Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them. This helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly, but with specific areas of excellence, such as high-class men's suits, ceremonial costumes, and innovative (革新的) street fashion. In other words, we English dress best when we are “in uniform”.You may be surprised that I am including “innovative street fashion” in the category of the uniform. Surely the parrot-haired punks (朋克摇滚乐迷) or the Victorian vampire goths are being original, not following rules? It's true that they all look different and eccentric (古怪的) but in fact they all look eccentric exactly in the same way. They are wearing a uniform. The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen,who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes, a kind of 1950s fashion, with no regard for anyone else's opinion. However, it is true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nation's street fashion. We may not be individually eccentric, apart from the Queen, but we have a sort of collective eccentricity, and we appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.Another “rule” of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously, to be able to laugh at themselves. However, it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.The goths, in their scary black costumes, certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously. But when I got into conversation with them, I discovered that they too had a sense of humor. I was once chatting to a goth in the full vampire costume —with a white face, deep purple lipstick, and black parrot-hair. I saw he was also wearing a T-shirt with “Goth”. “Why are you wearing that?” I asked. “In case you don't realize I'm a goth,” he answered, pretending to be serious. We both burst out laughing.12.What can we know about the English people?A.They need rules to dress well.B.They are in need of uniforms.C.They are creative in general.D.They lead the world trend.13.Who is individually eccentric in dressing?A.A high-class man.B.A parrot-haired punk.C.The Queen.D.The fashion innovator.14.Which of the following can best describe the goths?A.They dress badly.B.They dress in an amusing way.C.They are unable to laugh at the way they dress.D.They are less fashionable than the other English people.15.What may be the best title for the text?A.How the English DressB.How the English Admire FashionC.Why the English Like UniformsD.Why the English Are Eccentric in Dress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。

(建议用时:35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·长沙统一模拟)Kendrick Lamar hasn’t had much luck when itcomes to winning a Grammy. But that’s OK:The US rapper has just won aPulitzer Prize for his music.In 2014, in 2016, and again in 2018, Lamar was nominated(提名) for an album of the year Grammy. Each time, he was beaten out, first by Taylor Swift, next by Daft Punk, and most recently by Bruno Mars.But the Pulitzer Prize committee was inspired enough by Lamar’s 2017 album, Damn., to award the Pulitzer Prize in music on April 16. It’s an amazing album that documents the real life of modern AfricanAmericans in South Los Angeles with wildly accomplished beats and rhythms.Lamar’s win is considered to be historical. The Pulitzers have long displayed their preference towards high art rather than the pop culture of the masses. So it’s not just that no rapper has ever won a Pulitzer: no pop music maker has ever won one in the award’s history.But Lamar is not just a singer—he’s clever at using language. Like the best writers, his music describes small moments that illustrate larger points. His songs are about his experience as a black man who grew up in California, struggled, got into trouble, and found his way out by working hard and making sense of the history and reality in the US.“He’s an artist who challenges ideas,”said Ryan Coogler, director of the blockbuster(大片) Black Panther, for which Lamar created music. “One big theme in our film is this idea of ‘What does it mean to be African?’Lamar in his music is very exactly and directly challenging that question.”Good artists entertain us, great artists make us think, and exceptional artists help us empathize(产生共鸣).There are a lot of good, great, even exceptional artists in rock, pop, country, and hiphop. But only Lamar has won a Pulitzer Prize.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。
