2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷(三)1、English Language Day is celebrated each year on April 23, the date when William Shakespeare, the greatest writer in the English language, was born.Many people consider English as the unofficial “world language” because it is so widely used. English is the main language of business across the world. It is the most widely used language on the Internet and social media.The first English Language Day was the result of work by the United Nations. A few years ago,the U.N.'s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (the UNESCO) created Language Days for each of the U.N. 's six official languages. The aim was to celebrate the use of different languages around the world and in different cultures. Another goal was to campaign for equal use of all six official languages throughout the United Nations. The other five languages are Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish.

But eight months ago our car was hit bya passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that,with the loan (贷款) we’d need plus petrol, insura nce, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something muc h more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.1.The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A.most families chose to go car-freeB.he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC.the cost of a new car was too muchD.the traffic jam was unbearable for him2.What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Optimistic.D.Unconcerned.3.What did the author suggest his daughter s do about their friends’ opinion?A.Argue against it.B.Take their advice.C.Think it over.D.Leave it alone.4.What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A.Life cannot go without a car.B.Life without a car is a little bit hard.C.His life gets improved without a car.D.A car-free life does not suit everyone.4、On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southernKenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that he’s tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the pawprints (爪印)of a lion from those of other animals.Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group ofwide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.Each year, thousands of tourists crow dKenya’s national parks to try to have a look at the "big five”; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife.If Kenya’s wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地)for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave theirland and into smaller surrounding areas, They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.1.How did Kasaine track lions?A.By working together with tourists.B.By running after them all the time.C.By going to school every day.D.By studying their paw prints.2.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Maasai people are born animal lovers.B.Tourism is a big threat toKenya’s wildlife.C.Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.D.Small animals are not included in their protection policy.3.What does the underlined word "it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Kenya’s economic development.B.Kenyan people’s traditional Maasai lifestyle.C.Kenya’s second-largest income source.D.People’s leaving their original homes.4.What is the best title for the text?A.Wildlife protection inKenyaB.Meeting a dangerous animalC.Wilson Kasaine’s wise choiceD.Learning to live with lions5、Abzu is a word from the oldest Sumerian(苏美尔人的) stories,coming from the words “ab(ocean)” and “zu(to know)”,Giant Squids a company of the US, has named its newly developed video game ABZU. ①__________In ABZU. players explore the ocean—a space that can be both strange and familiar at times. As the nameless divers, players explore the seas and see underwater life,②__________Players can press buttons to dive and travel around the seas. They can swim with fish. They can touch pools and awaken creatures such as sea turtles. Players can awaken more wildlife and make the waters richer with life.As they adventure through the ocean, players will discover more. ③__________The developers used real fish and sea life and made some of the animals' real-life behaviors in the game. If players are sitting above these shark statues,they’ll see this circle of life as one fish eats another. ④__________It is like watching a Discovery Channel nature show.Further into the game,players will discover broken underwater robots,and these robots will open the path for the divers. The developers let the environment tell the background story and players find out the other secrets themselves. ⑤__________Many have played ABZU so far. They think although the game is a short adventure,it holds the promise of being something more.A. They'll see shark statues.B. You need to pay for the game skills at first.C. They'll see cleaner fish feeding around a shark's mouth.D. At first, the game seems aimless as players wander the seas.E. It can be played on Windows PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.F. Underwater games are always welcomed by many young people in the US.G. Gradually, they'll find underwater temples that hold the key to the main story.6、阅读下面的短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

姓名,年级:时间:2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷(八)1、 Kong Zi, also called Confucius(551 -479 B。

C. ), and Socrates(469-399 B.C。

)lived only a hundred years apart. During their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas in turn, shaped their societies。

Neither philosopher lived in times of peaces though there were more wars in Greece than in China。

The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city—states were small and urban。

The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的) than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively。

Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went on to government service。

2019届高考英语二轮复习考点解析卷:(二)(含解析)

2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷(二)1、The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs (地画) in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru. It is ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals and stylized human-like forms. The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920s. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers,maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world. There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta, United States (Mississippi and California), Chile, Holivia and in other countries. But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers, characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological (考古学的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蚀) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, combined with the existence of lighter-colored subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.1.What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?A.They were built as a big map.B.They were formed by nature.C.They are ancient lines in caves.D.They are huge markings in a desert.2.How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.3.Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?A.Because of the wind at ground level.B.Because of the existence of soft soil.C.Because of the climate and geography.D.Because of the thick sand on the top.4.What does the underlined word “eternal” probably mean?A.Non-stop.B.Ever-lasting.C.Real-life.D.High-end.2、Camp All-StarOne of a Kind Summer Camps for KidsWelcome to Camp All-Star, your No. 1 summer sports camp for kids!

A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.In their research, Professor Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (调查) 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.Obviously, it’s important to consider individual(个人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss. So next time you’re hiring for a mana gement position, you just might want to give the resumes(简历) from female candidates a harder look.1.What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?A.Women are worse than men.B.Men take almost all high positions.C.There is a huge gap between genders.D.Women might behave better in every field.2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word ‘‘inherently” in paragraph 4?A.properlyB.potentiallyC.naturallyD.normally3.Which of the following may be the best title of this text?A.How We Can Figure Out The Boss.B.Why Women Are Better Than MenC.Why Women Make Better BossesD.How We Can Tell Gender Difference4.Who might have special interest in this article?A.Job hunters.B.Employers.C.Employees.D.University students.4、In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example,stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品)later in their trip. In department stores,the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品)section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers' senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.1.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A.To save customers time.B.To show they are high quality foods.C.To help sell junk food.D.To sell them at discount prices.2.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A.Opening the store early in the morning.B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.C.Inviting customers to play music.D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.3.What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B.The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C.An ocean view is much to the customers' taste.D.A good first impression increases sales.4.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.C.To report researches on customer behavior.D.To show dishonest business practices.5、How to Excel in Poetry WritingIf you are serious about your poetry,then you should consider the suggestions presented here.①__________ Many poets have also used these tips to make poetry publishing possible in their life.Write Every Day. It is important that all writers write every day. ②__________You should remove all distractions so that you can be focused during this time.

Most teachers 3 just lettheir students speak and stop them 4 they say something completely wrong. Working on each student's pronunciation in class is just 5 . Also, the students who are 6 at pronunciation may be afraid that it will embarrass their classmates if they help 7 their mistakes.If you believe your pronunciation is good enough to 8 because it is good enough for your teacher and other students, you may be 9 when you actually go to a foreign country. One of my friends wasthe best student in his 10 class in Poland. When he went to America, he found Americans didn't understand 11 of what he said.Your pronunciation may still be quite 12 that of a native speaker.

2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷(五)1、While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings inChina such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts,manyexcellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu,a 49-year-old Chinese architect,wonthe 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize—which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize inarchitecture—on February 28.He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities.Manyvisitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types.The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages.He asked theworkers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls,roofs and corridors.Thiscreation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledgeof traditions.Through such a balance,he had created a new type of Chinese architecture,saidTadao Ando,the winner of the1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums."That is onlyevidence that traditions once existed," he said."Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions.They think tradition meansold things from the past.In fact,tradition also refers to the things that have been developingand that are still being created, " he said."Today,many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather thanfocusing on Chinese traditions.Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowingwhat they really are," said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise,the recreation oftraditions would be artificial and empty,he said.1.Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.A.following the latest world trendB.getting international recognitionC.working harder than ever beforeD.relying on foreign architects2.What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A.Its hilly environment.B.Its large size.C.Its unique style.D.Its diverse functions.3.What made Wang’s architectural design a success?A.The mixture of different shapes.B.The balance of East and West.C.The use of popular techniques.D.The harmony of old and new.4.What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?A.Spread them to the world.B.Preserve them at museums.C.Teach them in universities.D.Recreate them in practice.2、Here is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several scientists:Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the world’s problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the lone term machines might decide the world would be better without humans.Scientist C: I’m a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls (头骨) and think of what s happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be completely unethical and dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.1.What is Scientist B worried about?A.AI technology will destroy the earth.B.Robots will take the place of humans.puters can’t think by themselves.D.Humans will be unhappy without machines.2.What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?A.I launched the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.B.We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.C.“Murderbots” will be against humans’ orders.D.“Murderbots” can’t decide by themselves.3.Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?A.The employment will be affected by AI technology in the future.B.Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.C.“Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.D.All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.4.Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?A.Scientist A.B.Scientists B &C.C.C. Scientist B.D.Scientists B & A.3、In today’s global world, more and more people travel to foreign countries. Cross cultural awareness and an understanding of foreign etiquette is important if you want to succeed as an international business person. Behaviour that is polite at home may be considered rude in another country. In particular, by learning about dining etiquette and table manners, you can avoid offending people and this can directly influence your business success.John Smith’s book The Perfect Guest is a goldmine of inf ormation for the globe - trotting business person. There are chapters dedicated to all the main problem areas of dining etiquette and entertaining in different countries and tips on how to cope with embarrassing situations.These are some of the areas which are covered in the book.Seating arrangementsWhether you are eating at a restaurant or at someone’s home, there may be a fixed protocol of who sits where. Do men and women sit together? Is there a hierarchy according to age or status? Rules vary greatly. For example, inKorea, it is customary to offer the best seat to the most senior person; in theUS, there are no specific seating rules. If you don’t know where to sit, wait until your host shows you.ConversationIs the dining table the right place to have a conversation or is the meal taken in silence? In France, for instance, the meal is a social affair with loud animated conversations and most topics are acceptable, including business. In Japanor Vietnam, on the other hand, only quiet conversation is acceptable and business is never conducted at the dinner table.FoodWhat type of food is popular? Is it polite to remark on the food? Should you eat everything or leave some food on your plate? Is it polite to ask for the salt an d pepper if it isn’t on the table? And how can you deal with a food delicacy that you find disgusting? In Europe, it is polite to eat everything on your plate whereas this would be considered rude in Egypt. If you clean your plate, it will be filled up again immediately.1.Who is most likely to find the information useful?A.A business person.B.A scientist.C.A student.D.A soldier.2.When you are a guest in the US, where should you sit?A.In the best seat.B.Where your host shows you to sit.C.Wherever you like.D.Next to the senior.3.You leave food on your plate in Egypt ________.A.to show that you have eaten enoughB.so that there arc leftovers for the catC.to show that you don’t like the foodD.but it is considered rude4.The passage mainly tells us _______.A.cross cultural dining etiquetteB.cultural differences around the worldC.how to improve cultural awarenessD.why the book is worth buying4、Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员) and profits(利润) of over $2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. "Your working uniform is your shelter," he told her. "Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be."Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit; willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. "Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard—but that's because they've made it automatic," Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. "Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses arc, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.1.We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________.A.learn to give lecturesB.attend education programsC.design a working uniformD.develop a common hobby2.Willpower will become a habit when employees can _________.A.focus on the profitsB.benefit from the jobC.protect themselves wellD.control their feeling well3.What can we infer from the passage?A.G&G has grown into a large company.B.G&G will spend half its profits training employees.C.G&G may become more successful in the future.D.G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.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。

2019届高考英语二轮复习考点解析卷:(一)含答案解析.docx

2019 届高考英语二轮考点解析卷(一)1、 "Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher." You might think thatWinston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a professorat Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For years MarchCpossibly thewisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new bookThe Ambiguities of Experience.He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning:"Experience is respected; experience is sought; experience is explained.” The problem is that learning fr experience involves( 涉及 ) serious complications( 复杂化 ),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself andwhich March discusses in the body of this book.In one interesting part of the book, for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the mosteffective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of thecomplicated truth of things. He says,‘‘ The more精确地accurately)realit is( presented,the less understandable thestory; and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher, March is also a poet,and his gift shines through in the depth ofviews he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding: Don’for quick,easy lessons. Rather,be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.1.According to the text,James March is _________.A.a poet who uses experience in his writingB.a teacher who teaches story writing in universityC.a researcher who studies the way humans think and actD.a professor who helps organizations make important decisions2.According to James March, experience ________.A.is overvaluedB.is easy to explainC.should be actively soughtD.should be highly respected3.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A.Experience makes stories more accurate.B.Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.C.The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.D.Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.4.What ’ s the purpose of this text?A.To introduce a book.B.To describe a researcher.C.To explain experiential learning.D.To discuss organizational decision making.2、The Brown BearMy wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home inAlaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting,“ Dad! The bear is right behindivebearus!will”usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent andits ears pinned back---- the sign( 迹象 ) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bearbehaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.I held my camera tripod( 三脚架 ) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head waslevel with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supportingits weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand littlechance of running faster than a brown bear.The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightlyon the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouthand I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling(扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, assuddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for anotherattack— The first time I felf panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My armwas injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have b een better. I’ m proud that my family reminded-headedclearwhen panic could have led to a very different outcome.1.The brown bear approached the family in order to _______.A.catch shore birdsB.start an attackC.protect the childrenD.set up a barrier for itself2.The bear finally went away after it _______.A.felt safeB.got injuredC.found some foodD.took away the camera3.The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ______.A.prideB.patienceC.calmnessD.cautiousness3、Square dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group ofsenior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’ s Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票 ) related to a certain Ms. Wang.The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a culturalconflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the UnitedStates.The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulationsseem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New YorkPark found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view suchnoise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way tosolve such a problem.Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place,they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nationsare often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other.Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other people dancing is only’ s lives. Square one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.As for U.S. police practice, there might still be some room for improvement.

For 28-year-old Kristen Alice, it happens to begarbage. The eco-friendly designer uses her incredible talent to transform garbage like empty drink bottles andcandy wrappers into charming dresses that sell for thousands of dollars.Kristen says the idea came to her after she saw how much waste she and her three college roommates generatedon a daily basis. The Fine Arts student began to dream about transforming the deserted bags and packages intobeautiful garments.Her first dress made from plastic bags and rolled magazines was strange, fun and even charming. However,she only made it to test her creativity.The young designer did not consider starting a commercial venture( 企业 ) until she spent a week working atCouture Fashion Week in New York City. There she observed the excitement generated by new and vintage(复古的) looks and decided to see if her unusual idea would result in as much enthusiasm. She began by creating a line of 12 garbage-inspired dresses. They were a huge success.Today her company that has offices in Palm Beach, Florida and New York City, produces a wide variety ofdresses ranging from cocktail dresses to ball gowns( 礼服 ). Kristen,of course,doesn’ t search garbage cans for her material anymore. Instead, she seeks it from companies that have produced more than they need and are planning tothrow away the extras.However, if you think the garbage-inspired dresses come cheap, think again. The price for readymade creationsretails( 零售 ) from $ 500 to $ 1,500. Though that may appear expensive, the designer says she has no shortage of customers. In fact, she now even has garbage-inspired clothing for men that includes jackets, ties, trousers and evenboard shorts! While most of the clothes are strong enough to resist multiple wears, whether they can be cleaned is alittle unclear.1.What made Kristen think of using trash as her favorite material?A.Her poor living conditions at college.B.The education from her parents not to waste anything useful.C.Her roommates’ adviceusingof garbage to replace ordinary material.D.Her consciousness of environmental protection and trained eyes.2.Kristen decided to start a commercial venture because ________.A.she just wanted to test her creativityB.she was inspired by the enthusiasm caused by new and vintage dressesC.she was driven by the huge profits brought by new fashionD.she found there were no unique-looking but affordable clothes in New York3.The last two paragraphs are mainly about _________.A.the success of Kristen's careerB.what clothing Kristen mainly designedC.where Kristen got garbage for her clothingD.the advantages and disadvantages of the garbage-inspired clothing4.What is the best title of the passage? A.New Use of Garbage.B.A New Trend of Fashion.C.A Talented and Ambitious Fashion Designer.D.Transforming Trash into Wonderful Garments.5、As a parent, you must have a lot of concerns regarding the various skills you would like your child toacquire.Music is one of them. ① __________On the other hand, it is grea t for a child’ s overall development if he or she has an interest in the fine arts.②__________It is well known that they stay out of trouble as teenagers and young adults if they have music asa serious interest.The concentration helps them with their grades.Their learning and communication skills are betterthan those of their peer group.They also develop lots of confidence and self-esteem.Another advantage of your child learning music becomes obvious only at a later stage.③ __________It can bevery beneficial and many top musicians had a very early exposure to music and credit this with their later successes.You can start when your child is only a baby, by exposing him or her to a wide range of music at home.④__________And you could sustain ( 维持 ) your child’ s interest by having the both of you singing together.Some parents start their children on a musical instrument as early as 3 years of age.This is great if the child ishaving a good time.It goes without saying that you should not have to drag your child to lessons.You can be surethat nothing productive will come out of it. ⑤ __________.If you start your child on music lesson by the age of 5, taking care to encourage her and not to push her, yourchild will grow up into an accomplished adult with a well-rounded personality.A.It can have good effects on your child.B.That is why many people make a selection of music as a career.C.And your child will have a lifelong dislike of music.D.Otherwise you’ ll completely spoil your childfuture.’ sE.You could ensure that there is a song or melody playing in the background.F.There are a couple of advantages of teaching children to play a musical instrument.G.On the one hand, it can encourage your child’ s creativity and natural hobby.66、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A,B,C 和 D) 中 ,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷(七)1、Humans make mistakes.Even surgeons with years of experience are not infallible.But what if these doctors could pool their knowledge and experience together and create a surgical standard of care,to be carried out by machines?That's the idea behind surgical robots,which may soon perform most surgeries,from sewing up tiny wounds to performing heart procedures.Many of these operations are,in fact,already completed with the assistance of robots.But a recent test suggests that robots in the operating room may soon go a step further,performing on soft tissue completely on their own,from start to finish.The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot(STAR),successfully completed surgeries on pigs."We're the first group to develop autonomous robotic surgery with soft-tissue surgery,and when compared to standard operation,it's better,"says Peter Kim,professor of surgery."The idea is not to replace surgeons;it will make the surgeons better and make the procedures safer."A recent Mayo Clinic study found that major surgical errors-including operating on the wrong site or side of the body,or even leaving tools or objects inside the patient-occur every one out of 22,000 procedures.That's rare,but robots like STAR would aim to lower the number even further.In the da Vinci surgical system,surgeons place their arms inside instruments and use their hands to control the movement of robotic tools on the operating table from afar.The robot's every major move is controlled by surgeons,and thus its results may vary based on the surgeon's training or experience.STAR,on the other hand,is entirely autonomous.It's not only able to work on its own and perform surgeries with a more flexible "hand",but it's able to react to the unexpected incidents.Cutting into hard tissue like bones is one thing,but operating on moving soft tissue is far more complex.STAR reacts to a changing environment,similar to how self-driving cars are programmed to not only drive on the highway,but also react to another driver making a mistake and getting in your way.1.The underlined word "infallible" in Paragraph 1probably means ______.A.quite smartB.really creativeC.rather responsibleD.always right2.We can learn from the passage that STAR ______.A.can perform the operation on its ownB.has been widely used in the operating roomC.can make surgeries much fasterD.will take the place of surgeons3.In the da Vinci surgical system, ______.A.robots are trained from afarB.robots always make mistakesC.surgery results depend on surgeonsD.surgeons have trouble controlling robots4.In the last paragraph,the author mentions self-driving cars in order to show ______.A.how smart an autonomous robot can beB.how difficult self-driving on the highway isC.how bad getting in another driver's way might beD.how dangerous operating on people is.2、Give it a Go!

Since the 1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as it’s harmful to health, while others have welcomed coffee f or its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthful behavior. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinson’s disease.According to Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has health risks. Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people.According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr. Gregory Marcus, a doctor from the University of California, San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than 4 cups, is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health, it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harm of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high school student stat ed,“Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”1.What is the people’s attitude towards the effects of coffee on health accordi ng to Paragraph 1?A.Disapproving.B.Tolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Mixed.2.What does the underlined word “moderate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Personal.B.Slight.C.Reasonable.D.Heavy.3.What can we infer about Harwood?A.He’ll keep on drinking coffee.B.He loves his high school life.C.He often falls asleep in class.D.He has some health problems.4.What would be the best title for the text?A.Why People Love Coffee?B.How Coffee Affects Health?C.The Culture of Coffee DrinkingD.The New Findings of Heart Disease4、I fondly remember road trips as a child, sitting in the sunny backseat of my mom's car, daydreaming about other worlds and fantastic adventures. As I’ve grown older, my daydreams have become increasingly occupied less with fantasy but more with the reality of my past and future. Nearly everyone daydreams about their future and reflects nostalgically (念旧地) or negatively on moments of the past. These moments can provide inspiration, but if you spend too much time daydreaming in this fashion, you may be reducing your success in the present.If you've ever planned a vacation, you're familiar with the impatient days tapping at your desk, dreaming of the lazy, relaxing days to come. Unfortunately, sometimes you end up comparing the real vacation to your imagined one, and it doesn't live up to the standard. Reflecting nostalgically on the past can also prevent present enjoyment. It is equally fun to reflect on past achievements or fun events, but it's possible to be so consumed with happy memories that you miss opportunities to create more.We've all made mistakes that we’re ashamed of; reflecting on them is an important step in correcting those mistakes and becoming a better person. But dwelling (细想)too long on your past can also be negative. If you dwell too long on a past mistake, you can begin to equate(使等同)yourself with your past and feel farther away from the person you want to be. Train your brain to think quickly about the past and future, and take only the information and inspiration that you need in order to be the best person you can without resting on your glory moments or your mistakes.If your identity is not dependent on the past or future, every experience is new and every day is a blank page for you to write. A fun mental ex ercise is to always tell yourself that you’re experiencing things for the first time. So take advantage of each moment you’re given.1.What does the author think of daydreaming?A.It's the favorite for many kids.B.It can lead to fantastic adventures.C.It's the major source of inspiration.D.It has both strengths and weaknesses.2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A.Past achievements strongly influence us.B.It's important to be patient with our present life.C.Daydreaming may make the present disappointing.D.Reflecting nostalgically on the past brings us no pleasure.3.What should we avoid doing according to Paragraph 3?A.Reflecting on the past.B.Resting on our past experiences.C.Thinking about our past mistakes.D.Feeling ashamed of our past mistakes.4.What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To tell about her childhood.B.To tell how to let go the past.C.To suggest we focus on the present.D.To encourage us to learn from mistakes.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。
