ADon’t have plenty of time for reading?If you are interested in non-fiction books,here are good choices for you.A Room of One’s OwnThis essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two women’s colleges at Cambridge University in 1928.In it,Woolf describes that it’s circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing.Women,in other words,spend so much time cooking,cleaning,and tending to their children that they have no time left for art.To write well,therefore,a woman must have “a room of her own”.While on its surface,this essay appears to be only about writing,it is actually about wealth and class,freedom and imprisonment,and the power struggle between sexes.The Art of WarWritten by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi,The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy in human history.Consisting of 13 chapters,each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war,the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions.For centuries,it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.Letter to My DaughterThis book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou,a respectable American poet,is written for “the daughter she never had”— the millions of women,both young and old,who she considers to be her “family”.From the viewpoint of a caring,older relative,this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences,including the birth of her only child,a son,as well as the development and loss of friendship.A Brief History of TimeIf you’re short on time,then why not read about,well,the creation of time?This book,first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician Stephen Hawking,exploresmind-bending questions about the creation of the universe,including if and when it will end,and if so,how.Despite its heavy subject matter,Hawking addresses these questions in a way that’s easy to understand,even for those who know little about physics.21.What can we learn about the four books?A.A Brief History of Time mainly focuses on the matter of the earth.B.Letter to My Daughter is actually a common family letter.C.The Art of War gives definition of philosophy.D.A Room of One’s Own is more than about writing.22.What can be inferred from the passage?A.As a physicist,Hawking is equally famous for writing.B.Maya devotes herself to fighting for women’s rights.C.The book by Sun Zi is helpful in policy-making.D.Woolf looks down upon men in writing.23.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To make comparisons between the four books.B.To recommend the four books to readers.C.To make comments on the four books.D.To promote sales of the four books.BEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days,musicians are performing in private homes,at haircutting shops,at airports...even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs,they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O’ Hair Salon,Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then,they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon,near the hairdryers and make-up tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon,” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week’s performance.Frank said she and band members,Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience.Concerts in people’s homes,or small businesses such as O’ Hair’s,are becoming more popular,musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere,” said Domenic Cicala,a musician who opened up his O’ Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts,people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often,the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,” said Matt Hart,with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers,a folk-rock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts,the musicians do not need microphones.Yet,every word of their songs can be heard.24.Why do musicians like house concerts?A.Because private homes are easier to get to.B.Because people pay more attention to their music.C.Because they can do other things while performing.D.Because they don’t have to bring their microphones.25.What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last week’s performance?A.The small performance space.B.Her first show at a hair salon.C.Their interaction with the audience.D.The more relaxed atmosphere.26.How many music groups are mentioned in the text?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.27.What may be the best title for the text?A.Musicians Struggle to Make a LivingB.People Really Get to Know the ArtistsC.Musicians Find New Places to PerformD.Concertgoers Won’t Go to Music ClubsC“Hungary?” I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.“I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.” And with that,my adventure started.My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing school exchange year in Hungary.Going on an exchange had always been my dream.When my high school offered an all-year program,I jumped at the opportunity.It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was buy a plane ticket.I knew where I wanted to go:Spain,the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses.So when I heard that I was going to Hungary,I was pretty shocked.But I decided to make the best of it,since it was,after all,a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Before I knew it,I was on the airplane,leaving for Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport,Hungary.I had difficult times when I almost gave up.Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet.Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peers and me.I had to give up eating carrots,my beautiful favorite,for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing,looking nothing like skyscrapers,bullet trains,cars,and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to.Gradually,I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle,thewarm-hearted people,and getting home at 2:30 p.m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.From my little sisters,I learned how to embrace life to its fullest.From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house.From my host parents I learned to stay positive,to smile and that when you pick the right people and take their hands,suddenly,you become friends.28.How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary?A.Excited and satisfied.B.Confused and shocked.C.Amazed and embarrassed.D.Delighted and interested.29.Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain?A.He didn’t like Spain.B.He wanted to learn Hungarian.C.It was a rare chance.D.Going to Hungary was much cheaper.30.What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary?A.He fell in love with eating carrots.B.He couldn’t wait to leave.C.He was surprised by the landscape.D.He quickly got used to the life there.31.According to Jonathan,the host family .A.changed him completelyB.taught him how to dance wellC.treated him as equally as a studentD.showed him the good things of lifeDSome pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic,according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare.The study,published in the journal Biology Letters,is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal,influencing judgment.Asher,a researcher at the University of Newcastle’s Institute of Neuroscience,and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment.One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft,deep straw.After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks,the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.“To do this,we trained each pig.In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets—pigs love them—and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans,which pigs find bitter-tasting,” a researcher said.Over a number of training trials,pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets.On the contrary,they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations,to see how the pigs would react.Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside,showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets.Others,however,behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans,displaying pessimism.The findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist.Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people,there is still cause for concern.Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.32.What was the study trying to figure out?A.How to make pigs happier.B.The similarities between humans and pigs.C.How living environment affected pigs’ mood.D.How pigs’ mood and personality affected their judgment.33.What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Simple.B.More comfortable.C.Unpractical.D.Less free.34.Which bowl can test whether a pig is optimistic or pessimistic?A.The bowl with chocolate sweets.B.The bowl containing coffee beans.C.The bowl full of both sweets and beans.D.The bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.35.What do the findings of the new research imply?A.People should treat pigs equally.B.People’s health relies on meat quality.C.People should meet pigs’ various needs.D.People’s attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.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。

2018高考仿真卷·英语(四)第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
ADon’t have plenty of time for reading?If you are interested in non-fiction books,here are good choices for you.A Room of One’s OwnThis essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two women’s colleges at Cambridge University in 1928.In it,Woolf describes that it’s circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing.Women,in other words,spend so much time cooking,cleaning,and tending to their children that they have no time left for art.To write well,therefore,a woman must have “a room of her own”.While on its surface,this essay appears to be only about writing,it is actually about wealth and class,freedom and imprisonment,and the power struggle between sexes.The Art of WarWritten by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi,The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy in human history.Consisting of 13 chapters,each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war,the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions.For centuries,it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.Letter to My DaughterThis book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou,a respectable American poet,is written for “the daughter she never had”— the millions of women,both young and old,who she considers to be her “family”.From the viewpoint of a caring,older relative,this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences,including the birth of her only child,a son,as well as the development and loss of friendship.A Brief History of TimeIf you’re short on time,then why not read about,well,the creation of time?This book,first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician Stephen Hawking,exploresmind-bending questions about the creation of the universe,including if and when it will end,and if so,how.Despite its heavy subject matter,Hawking addresses these questions in a way that’s easy to understand,even for those who know little about physics.21.What can we learn about the four books?A.A Brief History of Time mainly focuses on the matter of the earth.B.Letter to My Daughter is actually a common family letter.C.The Art of War gives definition of philosophy.D.A Room of One’s Own is more than about writing.22.What can be inferred from the passage?A.As a physicist,Hawking is equally famous for writing.B.Maya devotes herself to fighting for women’s rights.C.The book by Sun Zi is helpful in policy-making.D.Woolf looks down upon men in writing.23.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To make comparisons between the four books.B.To recommend the four books to readers.C.To make comments on the four books.D.To promote sales of the four books.BEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days,musicians are performing in private homes,at haircutting shops,at airports...even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs,they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O’ Hair Salon,Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then,they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon,near the hairdryers and make-up tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon,” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week’s performance.Frank said she and band members,Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience.Concerts in people’s homes,or small businesses such as O’ Hair’s,are becoming more popular,musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere,” said Domenic Cicala,a musician who opened up his O’ Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts,people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often,the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,” said Matt Hart,with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers,a folk-rock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts,the musicians do not need microphones.Yet,every word of their songs can be heard.24.Why do musicians like house concerts?A.Because private homes are easier to get to.B.Because people pay more attention to their music.C.Because they can do other things while performing.D.Because they don’t have to bring their microphones.25.What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last week’s performance?A.The small performance space.B.Her first show at a hair salon.C.Their interaction with the audience.D.The more relaxed atmosphere.26.How many music groups are mentioned in the text?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.27.What may be the best title for the text?A.Musicians Struggle to Make a LivingB.People Really Get to Know the ArtistsC.Musicians Find New Places to PerformD.Concertgoers Won’t Go to Music ClubsC“Hungary?” I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.“I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.” And with that,my adventure started.My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing school exchange year in Hungary.Going on an exchange had always been my dream.When my high school offered an all-year program,I jumped at the opportunity.It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was buy a plane ticket.I knew where I wanted to go:Spain,the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses.So when I heard that I was going to Hungary,I was pretty shocked.But I decided to make the best of it,since it was,after all,a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Before I knew it,I was on the airplane,leaving for Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport,Hungary.I had difficult times when I almost gave up.Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet.Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peers and me.I had to give up eating carrots,my beautiful favorite,for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing,looking nothing like skyscrapers,bullet trains,cars,and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to.Gradually,I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle,thewarm-hearted people,and getting home at 2:30 p.m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.From my little sisters,I learned how to embrace life to its fullest.From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house.From my host parents I learned to stay positive,to smile and that when you pick the right people and take their hands,suddenly,you become friends.28.How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary?A.Excited and satisfied.B.Confused and shocked.C.Amazed and embarrassed.D.Delighted and interested.29.Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain?A.He didn’t like Spain.B.He wanted to learn Hungarian.C.It was a rare chance.D.Going to Hungary was much cheaper.30.What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary?A.He fell in love with eating carrots.B.He couldn’t wait to leave.C.He was surprised by the landscape.D.He quickly got used to the life there.31.According to Jonathan,the host family .A.changed him completelyB.taught him how to dance wellC.treated him as equally as a studentD.showed him the good things of lifeDSome pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic,according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare.The study,published in the journal Biology Letters,is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal,influencing judgment.Asher,a researcher at the University of Newcastle’s Institute of Neuroscience,and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment.One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft,deep straw.After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks,the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.“To do this,we trained each pig.In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets—pigs love them—and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans,which pigs find bitter-tasting,” a researcher said.Over a number of training trials,pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets.On the contrary,they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations,to see how the pigs would react.Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside,showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets.Others,however,behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans,displaying pessimism.The findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist.Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people,there is still cause for concern.Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.32.What was the study trying to figure out?A.How to make pigs happier.B.The similarities between humans and pigs.C.How living environment affected pigs’ mood.D.How pigs’ mood and personality affected their judgment.33.What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Simple.B.More comfortable.C.Unpractical.D.Less free.34.Which bowl can test whether a pig is optimistic or pessimistic?A.The bowl with chocolate sweets.B.The bowl containing coffee beans.C.The bowl full of both sweets and beans.D.The bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.35.What do the findings of the new research imply?A.People should treat pigs equally.B.People’s health relies on meat quality.C.People should meet pigs’ various needs.D.People’s attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.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。

We worked for the same company, and he retired two years before I was also considered “spare”, as some companies call it.Soon after I left work, we had lunch together. First, he assured me that there was life after work. Then he relited his own experien ce. He didn’t want to take another full-time job, so he turned his daughter's old bedroom into a home office. He arranged for some consulting work from our old company, and he picked up more projects from other contacts. Soon he was working 20 to 30 hours a week. He wasn't making as much money. His kids were grown-up, so he didn’t need as much income. “As soon as I left that job,” he told me, “my back problems went away. I started to eat better and get more exercise, I make half as much money, but I feel tw ice as good, and I’m twice as happy.”I decided to follow a similar track. At the time, my younger child almost finished college, so my parental responsibilities were winding down. We sold our old house and moved into a townhouse. I went to work for myself. And the result? Today I, too, make less money. But we make ends meet. And I feel twice as good and twice as happy.Our experience isn't for everybody. But a lot of people have retired early and lived to tell the tale, which proves it possible. Jack another friend, was a salesman for a communication firm. He had a long distance to work and did a lot of traveling. He decided to leave the corporate world, in part because he had health problems and he wanted to spend more time with his family. Later, he quit his job with flexible hours and was restored to his health. And now he has found a part-time job, and he, together with his family, is leading a more relaxing life.24. How did the author and his friends feel about their retired life?A. It's busy but wealthy.B. It's flexible but tiring.C. It’s healthy and happy.D. It’s relaxing and wasteful25. What did the writer’s friend try to tell him at lunch that day?A. He regretted not leaving his job earlier.B. He lived a much better life after retiring.C. Made more money if after finding a new job.D. His life was not easy for him after losing his job.26. Before Jack left his last job, he .A. lived a busy lifeB. used to find part-time jobsC. over travelled with his familyD. worked hard as a real travel agent27. What does the author mainly confirm by writing the text?A. Health is more important than work.B. Young people generally live an exhausting life.C. More retired people are paying attention to health.D. It may be a good choice for people who retire early to do a part-time job.CImagine this scene: it’s blowing outside, and you snuggle (蜷伏) up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish —hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the title of “the happiest country in the world”, the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.Hygge —originally from a Norwegian word meaning well-being —doesn’t have an exact equivalent (等同物) in English. It’s often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, “coziness of the soul”. But, as professor Maren Spark explains, “Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical Hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends —preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.However, hygge isn’t only limited to the cold winter months —it can also describe that warm, fuzzy feeling youget after a walk through a forest with friends on summer’s day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.28. The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to .A. help the readers to calm downB. introduce the topic of the passageC. present the main idea of the passageD. remind the readers of their past memories29. What do the underlined words by Maren Spark mean?A. The translation of the word “hygge” is not good enough.B. Only Danish speakers know what “hygge” means.C. “Hygge” is easy to translate but hard to feel.D. We can get the true meaning of “hygge” by feeling it.30. Which of the following can be best described as a “hygge” activity?A. Skiing in the cold winter months.B. Living through long dark winters.C. Taking afternoon tea with friends.D. Walking alone in the forest.31. The author writes this passage to .A. explainB. persuadeC. commentD. advertiseDI was at my parent’s dinner table. Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolored pages. It was my grandfather’s journal and now belonged to my father. My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life’s journey.I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I was captivated by the power of the written words. In the magical script before me. I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others, and a time when people had the heart to pausetheir own lives to embrace(拥抱) each other’s struggles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words tha t flowed together to connect with the writer’s mind and understand the world they lived in.That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment, and hungry for information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to our collective wisdom, most of these writings reflect the superficiality(肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important. Writing humbles(使谦卑) us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life. Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflect deep thought on issues of human importance.32. The underlined word “captivated” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “”.A. puzzledB. frightenedC. attractedD. defeated33. In the author’s grandfather’s age, people .A. lived a hard lifeB. cared about each otherC. were fond of writingD. treated food as an art34. The author begins the text with her grandfather’s journal in order to .A. show her respect to her grandfatherB. present the importance of good writingC. express her interest in reading as well as writingD. raise the problems with today’s writing35. In the last paragraph, the author is trying to .A. discuss what good writing is likeB. express her strong desire to learn writing skillsC. stress the effects of her grandfather’s journal on herD. show her admiration for her grandfather’s writing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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
