2019年高考英语二轮复习考点精练卷四及答案解析
2019年高考英语二轮复习考点精练卷四及答案解析1、More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are n ow aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he said.1.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A.It is flexible in length.B.It is a time for relaxation.C.It is increasingly popular.D.It is required by universities.2.According to Tony Higgins. students taking a gap year ____.A.are better prepared for college studiesB.know a lot more about their future jobC.are more likely to leave university in debtD.have a better chance to enter top universities3.How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A.He's puzzled.B.He's worried.C.He's surprised.D.He's annoyed.4.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A.Attend additional courses.B.Make plans for the new term.C.Earn money for their education.D.Prepare for their graduate studies.2、In fairy tales, it's usually the princess that needs protecting. At Google in Silicon Valley, the princess is the one defending the castle. Parisa Tabriz is a 31-year-old with perhaps the most unique job title in engineering- “Google Security Princess”. Her job is to hack into the most popular web browser (浏览器) on the planet, trying to find weaknesses in the system before the “black hats” do. To defeat Google's attackers, Tabriz must firstly think like them.Tabriz's role has evolved dramatically in the eight years since she first started working at Google. Back then, the young graduate from Illinois University was one of 50 security engineers---today there are over 500.Cybercrime (网络犯罪) has come a long way in the past decade - from the Nigerian Prince Scam to credit card theft. Tabriz's biggest concern now is the people who find bugs in Google's software, and sell the information to governments or criminals. To fight against this, the company has set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program, paying anywhere from $100 to $ 20,000 for reported mistakes.It's a world away from Tabriz's computer-free childhood home in Chicago. The daughter of an Iranian-American doctor father, and Polish-American nurse mother, Tabriz had little contact with computers until she started studying engineering at college. Gaze across a line-up of Google security staff today and you'll find women like Tabriz are few and far between(稀少的) ---though in the last few years she has hired more female tech geniuses. She admits there's an obvious gender disequilibrium in Silicon Valley.Funnily enough, during training sessions Tabriz first asks new colleagues to hack into not a computer, but a vending machine. Tabriz's job is as much about technological know-how (专门知识) as understanding the psychology of attackers.1.What can we learn about Tabriz from the passage?A.She was the first female engineer at Google.B.She must think differently so as to defeat the attackers.C.Her job relates to not only technology but also psychology.D.Her frequent contact with computers in childhood benefits her a lot.2.Why has Google set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program?A.To protect Google against cybercrime.B.To monitor the normal operation of Google.C.To help the government locate the cybercriminals.D.To raise people's awareness of personal information safety.3.What does the underlined word “disequilibrium” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Imbalance.B.Preference.C.Difference.D.Discrimination.4.Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?A.What leads to cybercrimeB.The "Security Princess" who guards GoogleC.Measures taken by Google to protect its usersD.How to become an excellent security engineer3、Applications for the 2018/19 academic year are now open.What’s it all about?The British Council in China is offering up to five ‘Generation UK—China’ scholarships for outstanding UK students who wish to study at mainland Chinese universities in“September 2018 or February 2019 for one semester or one year.Academic scholarships can be used at any mainland Chinese institution approved by the Ministry of Education to accept foreign students.You can decide where you want to be based and which subjects(at a non-degree level) you wish to study.The majority of students choose to study in Beijing.Do I need to speak Mandarin(普通话)?There are no language requirements for this programme.However,please check the course requirements of the Chinese institution you wish to study in.All language courses are suitable for complete beginners in Mandarin.However,there is the opportunity to be placed in classes for intermediate and advanced learners.In this case,you can expect an informal language test upon arrival to make sure you get put in the right class.If this is your first experience with the Mandarin language,we strongly recommend that you learn a few of the basics before you go.Why should I go?With 1.4 billion speakers worldwide,Chinese truly is a global language.Graduates who speak more than one language are highly sought—after,and with China’s increasing role in the world market,Mandarin is becoming a favourite among employers.Chinese universities attract many international students for their high-quality teaching and offer various scholarships.This is an opportunity to experience life in a completely different culture,gain new skills and improve your career prospects.1.What is the programme about?A.The UK students must study in China for one year.B.It offers scholarships for all outstanding UK students.C.Students can use scholarships at any Chinese institution.D.It gives scholarships for UK students to study in China.2.What is Chinese language requirement for the programme?A.Students must learn Mandarin from the basic level.B.It is necessary for students to have advanced level.C.Students had better gain some primary knowledge of Chinese.D.All the institutions have the same language requirements.3.What is the purpose of the programme?A.To attract students to study in China.B.To advertise the British Council in China.C.To introduce different universities in China.D.To stress the importance of the Chinese language.4、Many years ago, people relied on the sun, the moon and stars to find their way around. Later, the compass was introduced. And now, we have satnav(卫星导航) systems to guide us. The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning System, which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia’s Global Navigation(导航) Satellite System, the European Union’s Galileo and China’s own satellite navigation system, BeiDou.On October 14, 2017, an ARJ21-700 plane, which was the first domestically-produced jet equipped with the BeiDou navigation system, successfully completed a test flight. The results showed the performance of the system developed by China matches that of similar systems produced aboard, according to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China.Since its introduction in 2000, the Beidou navigation system has seen increasing numbers of applications linked to everyday life, from shared bikes to farming.When it comes to shared bikes, smart locks that support BeiDou chips offer more accurate positioning than others, making it easier to find a bike.Farmers can use BeiDou-enabled tractors to plow(犁) the soil and use unmanned aircraft with BeiDou to sow seeds, which can improve efficiency and make better use of resources. BeiDou's farming applications have spread from Heilongjiang Province to Beijing, Liaoning, Shanxi, Hubei and other regions across China.With its many uses,the Beidou navigation system is even playing a big role in the Belt and Road Initiative(一带一路倡议). Today, there are more than 20 BeiDou satellites above our heads, and China plans to launch even more this year to expand the BeiDou network to better serve the Belt and Road Initiative.“As BeiDou expands its overseas reach, it will be increasingly popular in the logistics(物流) industry,” said Miao Qianjun,s ecretary-general of the navigation services association. “Ships, for example,can use it to position themselves while sailing across oceans to European countries, no longer limited to Southeast Asian regions in the near future."1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To compare some modern satnav systems.B.To describe the benefits of satnav systems.C.To tell us how satnav systems were created.D.To introduce some satnav systems and their functions.2.What can we know about the BeiDou navigation system according to the article?A.It was used successfully in a new jet plane.B.It is more powerful than other satnav systems.C.It was introduced to China on October 14, 2017.D.It wasn’t used in our everyday life until recently.3.The BeiDou navigation system is already widely used for ________.A.plowing the soil and sowing seedsB.improving the efficiency of networksC.producing more smart locks for shared bikesD.navigating ships across oceans to European countries4.What is Miao Qianjun’s attitude tow ard the future of the BeiDou system?A.Worried.B.Casual.C.Positive.D.Doubtful.5、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。
