2020版高考英语(人教)新探究复习练习题:必修4+Unit+3 课后达标检测+Word版含解析
(建议用时:30分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A(2019·南昌重点中学高三年级段考)There are dozens of movierecommendation engines on the Web.They’re all different, but some aredefinitely better than others.Rotten TomatoesInstead of telling Rotten Tomatoes which films you like, you can tell it what kind of films you enjoy, which actors you want to see, and other standards to help it find the best movie for you. There’s a lot of variability in the quality of Rotten Tomatoes recommendations but it’s also a nice way to find the right film for any mood.NetflixNetflix asks you to rate(划分等级) movies to determine which films you’ll want to see next. And although it does make it easy to rate movies and it does return huge lists, the ideas it gives you aren’t all that strong. It’s easy to use, but it’s not the best way to get movie recommendations.JinniWhether you want to search for films based on your mood, time available, or reviews, the site has it all. But Jinni’s most amazing feature is its semantic(语义的) search. You can enter a term like “films that show Chris Farley yelling” and the site will return films that match your question. Go to use Jinni. You won’t regret it!CritickerInstead of just allowing you to rank films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and sees how closely your tastes match those of other users. Once the service finds matches, you can view these users’ lists and see which movies they like.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了四个较好的电影推荐引擎。
1.Which one does the author recommend most?A.Rotten Tomatoes.B.Netflix.C.Jinni. D.Criticker.C解析:推理判断题。
根据第二段最后一句中的“a lot of variability in the quality of Rotten Tomatoes recommendations”可排除A项;根据第三段的最后一句中的“but it’s not the best way to get movie recommendations”可排除B项;将第四段关于Jinni的介绍与最后一段关于Criticker的介绍相比,明显可看出作者更倾向于推荐Jinni, 故排除D项。
2.What makes Criticker special?A.Comparing users’ ratings. B.Ranking your favourite films.C.Offering different standards. D.Finding films based on mood.A解析:细节理解题。
根据最后一段第一句“Instead of just allowing you to rank films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and sees how closely your tastes match those of other users.”可知,Criticker不是仅允许你对电影进行排名,还将你的评分与其他用户的评分进行比较,看看你的品味与其他用户的品味的匹配程度。
据此可知,Criticker的特别之处在于它能比较用户的评分,故A项正确。
3.What is the purpose of the text?A.To recommend the best online movies.B.To show how to use movie search engines.C.To introduce several movie search engines.D.To explain how to find the best online movies.C解析:写作意图题。
通读全文内容,并根据文章第一段“There are dozens of movie recommendation engines on the Web.They’re all different, but some are definitely better than others.”可知,本文主要介绍了四个较好的电影推荐引擎,故C项正确。
B(2019·陕西部分学校第一学期摸底)In the story of The Cro w andthe Pitcher from Aesop’s Fables, a thirsty crow drops stones into anarrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. Crows actuallydo understand how to make water displacement(排水量) work to their advantage, experiments show. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders.Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Cambridge, presented six crows with tubes containing water.Inside the tubes, a worm or a piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged several rubber erasers that would sink, and some plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.However, the birds handled awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow one to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into a narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops; while it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn’t realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that wasfloating in a small amount of water at the bottom.【解题导语】本文介绍了科学家通过实验对乌鸦智商的研究。
4.How did the crows get the snack in Sarah’s experiment?A.By breaking the tube.B.By dropping in erasers.C.By standing on the wood.D.By removing the wood.B解析:细节理解题。

单元达标测评(满分:120分;时间:100分钟)第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
ABeijing Daxing Airport Is Finally OpenBeijing Daxing International Airport (PKX), also known as Beijing New Airport, is the biggest airport in the world. It is also the second international airport of Beijing along with Beijing Capital International Airport. The airport's design is a pioneering one while its location in Daxing District (the southern suburb of Beijing) is perfect for serving the Chinese capital and the neighboring areas of Hebei and Tianjin. The new mega hub airport (大型枢纽机场) is expected to handle up to 45 million passengers per year by 2021 and 100 million in the future.How big is Daxing Airport?The gigantic Daxing Airport, with the impressive shape which has given it the nickname “Starfish”, has enormous dimensions. There are 4 runways at present (with the hope of becoming 7 in the future) and a vast terminal building(航站楼) covering a 700,000m2area while the groundtransportation centre extends to 80,000m2.How many runways does Daxing Airport have?For the time being, Daxing Airport has four runways and 79 airport stands. The 4 runways' size is impressive while the airport stands are suitable for both one twin-aisle(双通道) and two single-aisle planes. Eventually, the airport will have 7 runways in total and will be able to serve about 620,000 flights every year.Who designed Daxing Airport?Daxing Airport's terminal building is the impressive outcome of the cooperation between ADP Ingénierie (ADPI) and the architecture team of Zaha Hadid who tragically passed away in 2016. As a result, in August 2018, Hong Kong design studio Lead 8 undertook the design of the new commercial terminal which is expected to meet every passenger's needs.How much did Daxing Airport cost?The construction of the mega airport, which is expected to eventually become the busiest airport in the world, cost an unsurprisingly large amount of money. The Chinese government is estimated to have paid about $17.47 billion for this great project.1.Daxing Airport is built .A.to serve Beijing, Hebei and TianjinB.only for the Chinese capital, BeijingC.as the second biggest airport in the worldD.to handle up to 45 million passengers per year2.What did Hong Kong design studio Lead 8 under-take?A.The runways.B.The airport stands.C.The terminal building.D.The commercial terminal.3.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To introduce Daxing Airport.B.To describe how Daxing Airport was built.C.To attract people to visit Daxing Airport.D.To discuss the importance of Daxing Airport.BBorn in London in 1825, Thomas Henry Huxley was one of the greatest men of the nineteenth century. In 1846 Thomas Henry Huxley was appointed assistant doctor aboard HMS Rattlesnake. The ship had been asked to survey areas of the Great Barrier Reef and the neighboring seas. This gave Thomas Henry Huxley an opportunity to study animal life and was the start of his biological career. The voyage lasted four years, during which he gathered much information on plankton (浮游生物).On his return from the voyage, Thomas Henry Huxley was made a member of The Royal Society in recognition of his scientific work. Although he continued to publish papers about plankton, his interest wasturning towards vertebrates (脊椎动物). For some time Thomas Henry Huxley and his workmates had been discussing the possibility that animal species had evolved (进化), from one to another. No satisfactory theories had been put forward, but in 1859 Darwin's The Origin of Species appeared. Thomas Henry Huxley at once realized its importance and how the theory of natural selection provided “the working hypothesis (假说) we sought”.For the rest of his life, Thomas Henry Huxley struggled to ensure the full recognition of Darwin's work. In 1863 Thomas Henry Huxley published Man's Place in Nature in which he compared man and great apes. He clearly showed similarities.Despite his many achievements, he was given no award by the British state until late in his life. From about 1870, Thomas Henry Huxley was too involved in other things to continue actual research. He had always been interested in education. He pioneered the teaching of biology and his method of selecting “type animals” is still followed today. He spent the last ten years of his life writing essays mainly on biology.4.Why did Huxley go on the voyage?A.To explore the deep sea.B.To do research on sea animals.C.To work as a doctor on the ship.D.To gather information for his paper.5.How did Huxley react to the theory of natural selection?A.He had doubt about it.B.He thought highly of it.C.He couldn't understand it.D.He thought he developed it first.6.What do we know about Huxley's book Man's Place in Nature?A.It discusses the importance of human beings.B.It focuses on Darwin's theory of natural selection.C.It talks about the differences between man and apes.D.It provides evidence about the evolution of man from great apes.7.What can we learn about Huxley from the last paragraph?A.He contributed a lot to biological teaching.B.He continued his research till his death.C.He became a good novelist late in his life.D.He never got awards for his achievements.CIt seems we can't get off the planet fast enough. Two thirds of NASA's money is spent on manned space exploration, and that number will grow with the USA's decision to send a man to Mars in 2037. We've seen all that is to see on Earth, right? Wrong. The final place is here, under the surface of the sea.Heading down into the ocean, human limits are quickly reached. At200 metres, the water is as black as a moonless night. Most nuclear submarines would implode (内爆) before they reach 1 km down. At 3 km—still less than the average depth of the ocean—there's a good chance that you'll discover a new species. The deepest-diving whales go no further. At the very bottom, about 11 km down, lies the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Eighteen humans have walked on the Moon, but only three have seen the deep with their own eyes.Yet things live down there. Big things. A very loud sound was once heard and scientists suggested that it was produced by an animal bigger than a blue whale, the largest creature known on the planet.In the late 1990s, a deep-water submarine was dropped in the Southern Ocean, and passing 4,000 metres, it discovered something huge passing under it. Surprised? Don't be. The ocean covers 70% of the planet's surface and we've studied less than 5% of it. We know more about the dark side of the Moon than about the bottom of the sea.One reason why we explore space is to find evidence of other life forms. The search for life outside of Earth is important, but robots can look under the dry rocks of Mars better than humans. They're absolutely important for doing ocean research too, but they can't look under the sea. The cost of exploration is rising, but the results would benefit all our lives. Understanding the oceans will help us find new sources of food, drugsand energy.Perhaps now it's time to begin a new period of sea exploration. Manned space exploration is science fiction. The adventure of the deep sea is science fact.8.What do the examples in Paragraph 2 suggest?A.Sea exploration is no easy task.B.Nuclear submarines need to be improved.C.The ocean is far deeper than people expected.D.The condition under the sea is similar to that on the Moon.9.What do we know about the Challenger Deep?A.Blue whales live there.B.No one has ever been there.C.People are terrified by the sight of it.D.It is the deepest known location of the Mariana Trench.10.What does the author think of the discovery in the Southern Ocean?A.It's surprising.B.It's no wonder.C.It's worrying.D.It's no success.11.What does the author want to tell us?A.Space exploration is of little value.B.We spend too much money on space travel.C.Humans' success lies in how much they explore the sea.D.The ocean is the place where we should make our efforts.DFor Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.“It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill.“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, MarcJacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion.“The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”12.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A.It promoted the sales of artworks.B.It attracted a large number of visitors.C.It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D.It aimed to introduce Chinese models.13.What does Hill say about Chinese women?A.They are setting the fashion.B.They start many fashion campaigns.C.They admire super models.D.They do business all over the world.14.What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?A.learning fromB.looking down onC.working withpeting against15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC.Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD.Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program.The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform.MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform.“Fasten your seatbelts,” Hockfield said.Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit(非盈利的)organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30 million to start the program. They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn andwhich teaching methods and tools are most successful.53.

2020版高考英语(人教)新探究复习练习题:必修3+Unit+4 课后达标检测+Word版含解析
(建议用时:30分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A(2019·贵阳监测)Nov. 21 is World Hello Day. It began back in the1970s as part of an effort to make the world more peaceful. It wascreated just after the war between Israel and Egypt in 1973. Thephilosophy (哲学) behind it is:Say “Hello” and stop war.It sounds like a fine idea, but most of us know that simply saying“Hello”won’t bring about world peace. Still, on a smaller range, thesimple act of saying “Hello”to someone can make a lot of difference.This might not be obvious. After all, it’s such a casual thing and requires so little effort. You raise your head to someone as you pass by them in the school corridor(走廊), say “Hello”,and then it’s over.Although we might not realize it, a small thing like a greeting can mean a lot to a person. Many pe ople are lonely because they’re shy. They find it difficult to communicate with people, even though they want to. It leads to them feeling cut off.On this basis, maybe it’s a good idea, not just on Nov. 21, but every day, to remember to say “Hello”to as many people as we can. The stranger who hears your greeting may secretly smile in their heart. You might even make their day.Greeting other people is the easiest way to be polite.Politeness is the way we individual humans link up with the rest of the human world outside of our circles of family and friends. Politeness is one of the aspects of culture that make us a society rather than just many individuals living in the same space.No one said it better than the French author Joseph Joubert:“Politeness is the flower of humanity.” A “Hello” to a stranger is a small thing, and often neglected(忽视), but through it we can make the world better for another person.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了世界问候日的由来及意义。
