(建议用时：30分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A(2019·广州调研测试)Petrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads，buttheir days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the U．S. That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety”—driver s’ concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems，the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said，charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the U．S.A.Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago，electric cars were met with distrust，and their large price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity，recharging times，performance and price，the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics. Plugin cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.As well as advancements on the road，electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel，having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrolpowered outboard motors took over. Now，the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made，with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the U．S. to act on the study’s findings and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles，it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent. However，because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles，they cannot claim to be completely emissionfree. That said，as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources，electric vehicles will become even cleaner.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

B(2019·洛阳尖子生联考)I love to read before I go to sleep. It usually makes me feelcalm. But a big part of this depends on what I read. I love to read The Broons and Oor Wullie. Very often I’m smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress. Before we go to sleep, we may run over the day in our minds, and worry about tomorrow. We also may watch the news on TV, read the news on our smart phones or tablets, or even answer work emails. But the news is rarely proclaiming(宣告) all the good that’s happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we’re still at work. All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.The Broons and Oor Wullie is not the only thing I ever read at night. I sometimes read novels but, with the odd exception, I mostly avoid anything that is too me ntally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it’s something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating, when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up a trusty old The Broons and Oor Wullie for the last 10 or 15 minutes. Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure I get a peaceful night’s sleep. Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanketfor me.I’d suggest you find lighthearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime, especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time, or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day. It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh, then you may feel even better. Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain and strengthens the immune system. Laughter is good for the heart, and it is most definitely good for mental health. It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of The Broons and Oor Wullie, I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

There’s a chance that, sooner or later, youmight have to move further than you were thinking, as far as Mars(火星)．On Thursday, National Geographic will show the first ever Mars show home, giving earthlings an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet. Set in the notsodistant year of 2037, the iglooshaped structure could be the home of your future.It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil, called regolith, which has been microwaved into bricks. Some parts of the home are recognisable—kitchen, bedroom—but there are fundamental differences that are vital for human survival.As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Eart h’s, people will need permanent shelter from the sun and society will move largely indoors. Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won’t have windows. The homes will have simulated solar lighting, or natural light that has been bent several times.Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick, to protect people from dangerous rays that can pass through six feet of steel, and a double airlocked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive, but on Mars your house will be a survival centre，”says Stephen Petranek, author of Ho w We’ll Li v e on Mars. This is not just the stuff of scifi. “Ten to twenty years from now there will certainly be people on Mars，”Petranek says.“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars, but we haven’t had the will，”Petranek says. “But two main factors have completely swung public attitudes.”The private companies’participation has forced government agencies to up their game, and influential films such as Gra v ity and The Martian have caught society’s eye.【解题导语】本文主要对人类未来在火星上居住作了相关介绍。

(建议用时：45分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解(2019·昆明摸底)When she was found off the coast of California four years ago, the fur seal, known as Ziggy Star, was skinny and fragile. She was unfit to return to the wild. And though a professional rescue team took her in to care for her, Ziggy continued to decline.“I wouldn’t have given her next week，”says Uriarte, a surgeon who led a recent firstofitskind brain operation on the seal.The operation was the first of its kind to treat hydrocephalus in fur seals. The surgical team at Tufts was unable to find any documented evidence of a similar procedure, so they needed a lot of preparation to operate on Ziggy’s brain. The biggest concern in operating on Ziggy was how to control the animal’s anesthesia(麻醉)．“When they’re under anesthesia their body’s reaction includes decreasing their heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing，”says Flower, who observes Ziggy and the other animal s’ care, describing the special challenges of operating on seals. On the day of the surgery, Flower says that she and her team “were all quite anxious not knowing what would happen”. Moving quickly was extremely important; the longer she was under anesthesia, the more likely that she could lose her breathing, says the surgeon. The seal has been kept on land to prevent water from entering the cut on her head.Now, Ziggy is eating a full diet and is beginning to gain weight again.“Recently I’ve allowed her to go swimming，”says Flower. However, the source of Ziggy’s neurological disorder(神经紊乱) is still a mystery.“My theory is that when she was found, she had a head injury，”Uriarte says.“Hit by a boat maybe... That happens a lot with seals.”Flower is less willing to guess.“I don’t think there’s enough information to make that assumption. We just don’t know what happened to her.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

(建议用时：30分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A(2019·桂林、百色、崇左联考)By trying to tickle(使发痒) rats and recording how their nerve cells respond, Shimpei Ishiyama and his adviser are discovering a mystery that has puzzled thinkers since Aristotle expected that humans, given their thin skin and unique ability to laugh, were the only ticklish animals.It turns out that Aristotle was wrong. In their study published on Thursday, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael Brecht found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies. These signs of joy changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they discovered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made this feeling so powerful that it causes a rat being tickled to lose control.To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain where tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated(刺激) that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds.“It’s truly groundbreaking，”said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University who reviewed the paper.“It takes the study of emotion to a new level.”Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of animal tickling. He was part of a team that first noticed, in the late 1990s, that rats made special noises when they were experiencing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats repeatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab where Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similar sounds while playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab said, “Let’s go and tickle some rats.”They quickly found that those cries of pleasure doubled.“The authors have been very adventurous，”said Daniel O’Connor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University. To him, that finding was very surprising.“Why does the world literally feel different when you are stressed out？”he said.“This is the first step towards answering that question. It gives us a way to approach it with experimental rigor(严谨)．”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

AQuicker and faster 3-D printers have allowed not just amazing objects to be created, but have started to affect how doctors treat patients.We've put together a list of some of the most amazing medical breakthroughs made possible with 3-D printing.Life-Saving AirwayIn 2013, doctors created a new airway for Kaiba Gionfriddo, a boy born with an airway that kept collapsing (萎陷). To save his life doctors printed tiny tubes to join together in different shapes and sizes until one finally worked for Kaiba. It was placed in Kaiba's bronchus (支气管) so that it no longer collapsed. Even more remarkably, once the plant was placed it could stay there. It's designed to eventually be absorbed into the body.New “Bionic” HandsOne of the most remarkable ways 3-D printing is now being used is as a way to create prosthetics (假肢). A boy born without an arm named Alex was able to get a new “bionic” hand thanks to it. Last year a college student spent 8 weeks coming up with a special prosthetic design that only cost a few hundred dollars in materials. He said he wanted to createa prosthetic far cheaper than other choices that can run tens of thousands of dollars.A Practice HeartIn Seattle, doctors have been able to use 3-D printing technology to “practice” risky operations so that they will face fewer surprises in the operating room. Kami Sutton was born with her heart “in the wrong place”. For a recent operation her doctor was able to take many scans of Sutton's heart and print out a model. “Kami's heart is truly one-of-a-kind，”Dr. Stephan Seslar, a heart disease specialist said. “Operating on her without understanding the structure of her heart better could be very dangerous.”A New SkullA U．K. man was able to have part of his skull rebuilt thanks to a 3-D printer. Stephen Power broke his cheek bones in a crash. To help Power his doctors instead created 3-D bones all carefully printed in the shape of his face. “This is really the first time we've taken it to this stage, where everything has been planned and modeled in advance —and worked sweetly，” said Adrian Sugar, a doctor.1．What is special about the 3-D printed airway?A．It uses high-tech materials.B．It varies in shapes and sizes.C．It can be absorbed by the body.D．It can prevent any disease in the airway.2．What is the advantage of the new “bionic” hand?A．Its price.B．Its effects.C．Its materials. D．Its shape design.3．What does Adrian Sugar think of the new skull printed by 3-Dtechnology?A．He has doubts about it.B．He thinks highly of it.C．It needs to be better planned.D．It functions well but needs improving.BA couple of months ago, we were in a hurry to get somewhere, but it seemed that my 6-year-old daughter had an instinctive (本能的) capacity to slow things down. In response I had become impatient, frustrated and unkind. As I unloaded my apology, she said, “Mom, it's OK. You've never been a mom before. This is your first time. Y ou're just trying. It's OK.”Her response made me feel ashamed. She had been able to give me what I had refused to give her just moments before —mercy, understanding and sympathy. And I needed it. We all do. In fact, there may be nothing more needed today in our nation and communities.It's no wonder that former Westboro Baptist Church member Megan has transformed her idea. She spent 20 years representing her family's beliefs with messages of hate towards blacks, Jews and those who support abortion. When she finally started being able to engage in (参与) civil dialog with her “enemies”，she found that “people on the other side were not the ones I had been led to believe ...” Finally, she left the faith of her family. What surprised her most was the forgiveness and understanding she experienced from those who had been her former “enemies”．My experience with my daughter teaches me that the ability to engage “with the other”，to form a judgment, to avoid tough judgements, and to show sympathy is learned first, and practiced best, at home —even if, as in my case, it is my children who teach me the lesson. Researchers believe the key to developing those abilities in our childrenlies in how we respond to their feelings, especially the negative ones.We should all make efforts to create a world where we are all better able to take the perspective (观点) of others, stay away from tough judgments and recognize and respect the humanity in the souls around us. This desire makes my own struggling to be better worth all the efforts every day.4．What did the author think of her daughter's reaction?A．Her daughter was not so kind.B．Her daughter did better than her.C．Her daughter's words annoyed her.D．Her daughter should make an apology.5．The author mentions the example of Megan in order to ________.A．show that blacks and Jews are treated unfairlyB．judge whether what Megan did was right or notC．show that there are no forever enemies in our lifeD．prove that people should show understanding to each other6．Why did Megan change her attitude towards her former “enemies”？A．Because she forgave them at last.B．Because she knew them better later.C．Because she made herself understood by them.D．Because she felt great sympathy towards them.7．What's the author's attitude toward our future?A．Hopeful. B．Doubtful.C．Cautious. D．Worried.CNearly every driver has experienced that feeling of great tiredness, where it becomes almost impossible to stay awake at the wheel. 14-year-old Katherine Wu is too young to have experienced this situation firsthand. However, she noticed how difficult it was for her dad to remain awake while driving back from their family vacations in Florida to their home in Maryland. Her mom had to talk to her dad all the way.“So I created a tool that can be used instead of my mom talking to my dad to make sure he stays awake and is safe，” she says.Her invention, “Driver's Companion”，can notice driver sleepiness and warn the driver if he or she is too tired to be on the road.The user wears a headset (耳机), which sends information about the driver's brain waves (脑电波) to a tiny computer. The computer can be placed in front of the driver. The system then gives warnings, if needed. As the driver becomes sleepier, red color will be shown to warn him or her. The driver will also hear messages warning him to get off the road. The machine can say, “You're tired. Please take a break.”After sending her invention to the 2014 Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge, Wu was chosen as a finalist and was able to work with Dr. Jesse Miller, who is a product development specialist.“He helped me understand how important it is to make sure that my invention worked for the people who were using it and that it was user-friendly，” Wu says.As a young scientist, Wu has some advice for other students of her age: “I would like to tell them that they should choose something they're interested in. So they'll be willing to spend more time on it and enjoy working on it more. Also, when there's difficulty, they should just continue working hard because they'll get over it.”8．Why did Wu's mother talk to her dad all the way?A．To prevent an accident.B．To help him feel relaxed.C．To discuss their vacations.D．To make the trip enjoyable.9．What is the purpose of “Driver's Companion”？A．To show drivers the way.B．To prevent drunk driving.C．To improve driving skills.D．To help drivers stay awake.10．Which of the following shows how Driver's Companion works?A．Sleepiness→Headset→Warnings→ComputerB．Sleepiness→Warnings→Headset→ComputerC．Sleepiness→Headset→Computer→WarningsD．Sleepiness→Computer→Headset→Warnings11．Wu advises other young students ________.A．to enjoy their livesB．to learn to love scienceC．not to do dangerous jobsD．not to give up what they loveDCycling is well known to improve individual health and fitness; it also benefits the wider population in terms of economy, transport and environment. The EU promotes cycling via many measures primarily to achieve sustainable(可持续的) clean and energy-efficient transport systems. However, despite the fact that the benefits outweigh the risks by 20∶1, many consider the risks too great and that the fear of danger onthe road needs to be handled. Cycle lanes(车道) have been used to improve cyclists’ safety and encourage more cyclists ont o the road. This research in transport aims to study the effect of cycle lanes on cyclists’ safety where passing space given by overtaking(超车) vehicles is concerned.In this study, the authors used a bicycle equipped with cameras to record vehicle overtaking in varying road situations to determine whether cycle lanes, color block cycle lanes or no cycle lanes affect passing distances and cyclists’ safety. Their 3 comparisons m easuring vehicle passing widths found greater overall distances given with a cycle lane than without. Color block vs. uncolored cycle lanes showed little or no difference, as did no cycle lanes vs. color block cycle lanes. Color block lanes had a slight negative effect suggesting that drivers are more careful when cycle lanes have less definition(清晰度)．Interestingly, the authors conclude that other factors have a far greater effect on cyclists’safety than presence or absence of cycle lanes. Road width, parking, opposite vehicle flow and speed were key influences on decreased passing widths. The authors also note that driver behaviour is a hugely important factor and urge more research in this area. “In order to reduce risks and encourage more cycling, reduci ng and calming the existing motorised traffic must be explored first.” They suggest, “Lane width is the most significant variable(变量) to achieve a sufficient vehicle passing distance. The narrow cycle lanes (<2m) may be not enough. Reconsideration of the entire road design and further exploration of driver behavioural factors are required.”12．What is the main purpose of th e EU’s promoting cycling?A．To reduce air pollution.B．To build better transport systems.C．To improve people’s health.D．To help people save money on transport.13．According to the study, color block lanes may________．A．make drivers a bit carelessB．cause no overtakingC．get cyclists to feel saferD．lead to greater passing distances14．In the researchers’ eyes, the first step to encourage more cycling is to________．A．redesign and rebuild the roads in a cityB．do more research in public bicycle programsC．restrict the number of vehicles running on the roadD．make strict traffic rules to control driver behaviour15．The authors of the research think that driver behaviour________．A．needs further explorationB．is an unimportant factorC．makes cycle lanes narrowerD．is the most significant variable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：30分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A(2019·广州调研测试)Petrol and diesel cars may still dominate ourroads，but their days are numbered. A recent university study found thatcurrent electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys inthe U．S. That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety”—driver s’ concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems，the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said，charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the U．S.A.Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago，electric cars were met with distrust，and their large price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity，recharging times，performance and price，the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics. Plugin cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.As well as advancements on the road，electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel，having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrolpowered outboard motors took over. Now，the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made，with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the U．S. to act on the study’s findingsand replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles，it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent. However，because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles，they cannot claim to be completely emissionfree. That said，as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources，electric vehicles will become even cleaner.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。
