2019届上海高三英语二模汇编--阅读A篇(解析版)
2019届高三英语二模汇编——阅读A篇1、2019黄浦二模Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In 1888 an Egyptian farmer digging in the sand near the village of Istabl Antar uncovered a mass grave. The bodies weren’t human. They were feline —ancient cats that had been mummified(木乃伊化的) and buried in holes in astonishing numbers. “Not one or two here and there”, reported English Illustrated Magazine, “but dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, a layer of them, a layer thicker than most coal joints, ten to twenty cats deep. ” Some of the linen-wrapped cats still looked presentable, and a few even had golden faces. Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change; the rest were sold as fertilizer. One ship transported about 180,000, weighing some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England.Those were the days of generously funded explorations—that dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the estates and museums of Europe and America. The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get at the good stuff. Few people studied them, and their importance was generally unrecognized.In the century since then, archaeology has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a science. Archaeologists now realize that much of their sites’ wealth lies in the majority of details about ordinary folks—what they did, what they thought, how they prayed. And animal mummies are a big part of that.“They’re really displays of daily life,” says Egyptologist Salima Ikram. After peering beneath bandages with x-rays and cataloguing her findings, she created a gallery for the collection — a bridge between people today and those of long ago. “You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, Oh, King So-and-So had a pet. I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us.”56. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “peddled”(paragraph 1)?A. modernizedB. displayedC. illustratedD. demonstrated57. Why was archaeology once referred to as a“treasure hunt ”(paragraph 3)?A. In the royal tombs, there were many treasures made of silver and gold.B. Animal mummies could be made into fertilizer which is very valuable.C. It was hard to find animal mummies since they were buried under dirt.D. People sought the remains of ancient Egypt merely for their material value.58. Which of the following is TRUE about Salima Ikram?A. She wishes to establish the continuity of pets over history.B. She believes that studying the remains can help modern society relate to the past.C. She wants to identify the King’s personal belongings and classify them.D. She doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains.59. This article probably encourages the readers to _____________.A. value the past by studying the remains left behind by our ancestorsB. make full use of the remains our ancestors have left behindC. understand that animal mummies are more important than gold and masksD. become more sensitive to the ancient lifestyle of our ancestors答案：56-59 BDBA难度：中等解析：本文为记叙文。
自从1888年在埃及发现了猫动物的木乃伊之后，大量的皇家墓穴被挖掘，成千上万的木乃伊被运往世界各地，以攫取物质利益。
后来考古学家不再只是寻宝，而是把它作为一门科学研究。
因为木乃伊展示了古埃及人的日常生活。
正如古物学家萨利玛·伊克拉姆所说，木乃伊的研究是现代社会和过去的联系的桥梁。
【56题详解】猜测词义题。
根据第一段中“Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change; the rest were sold as fertilizer.”可知，peddled后的“to tourists for change”即“把最好的给游客来换取零钱”，可知，此处的peddled 是“兜售”给游客以换取零钱，可知peddle就是向他人炫耀从而售出。
分析选项A. modernized使现代化；B. displayed炫耀，展览；C. illustrated加插图于，描述；D. demonstrated证明，证实。
可推断出B. displayed 符合题意，故选B。
【57题详解】推理判断题。
第二段叙述了“最初考古是为了寻找皇家陵墓，寻找华丽的黄金和彩绘面具来装饰欧洲和美洲的地产和博物馆。
成千上万的来自古埃及的动物木乃伊出现在埃及各地的宗教场所，但很少有人研究它们”。
可知，考古就是寻宝，为了物质上的价值。
以及第三段第一句话“从那以后的一个世纪里，考古学已不再是寻宝，而是一门科学”由此可知，他们寻找古埃及的遗迹仅仅是为了他们的物质价值。
分析选项可知D项符合题意，故选D。
【58题详解】推理判断题。
最后一段she（Salima Ikram）created a gallery for the collection — a bridge between people today and those of long ago.可知，Salima Ikram把她的发现进行分类之后，她为这些收藏品创建了一个画廊——一座连接今天的人和很久以前的人的桥梁。
以及她的话“You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, Oh, King So-and-So had a pet. I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us.” “你看着这些动物木乃伊，突然你说，哦，国王某某养了一只宠物。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)We’ve all heard the stories of an actor’s struggles before a career breakthrough: living a hard life, working part time, being a couch potato before getting that major role. Shelby, the star of “A Dog’s Way Home,” has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal.Shelby’s big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County, T ennessee. Out on an unrelated call, Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump. “I knelt down and just said, ‘Oh, come here, baby,’ ” said Buhler. “She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck.” The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl.Buhler and others didn’t know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find-a-Bella job went to freelance trainerTeresa Ann Miller. Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller spotted Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After assessment, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the set.Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!”Shelby has come a long way from the dump. But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently and needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same,”Buhler said.56. Why does the author mention an actor’s struggle beforea career breakthrough at the very beginning?A. To make a sharp contrast between an actor’s struggle and a dog’s struggle.B. To introduce a dog’s similar but even more striking experiences.C. To attract readers’ attention by giving dramatic examples.D. To clearly point out the main idea of the passage.57. What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film?A. Her adoption picture.B. Her flat-out smiling.C. Her personality and ability.D. Her miserable experiences.58. By saying “She’s is exactly the same” in the last paragraph, Buhler probably means ______.A. the dog returned to the piles of trash where she found itB. it took quite a lot of trouble for the dog to change her own fateC. she’s really excited to see the dog she helped live such a happy lifeD. the dramatic change of the dog’s life hasn’t changed her inner quality59. What do you think may serve as the best title of the passage?A. The Success of “A Dog’s Way Home”.B. From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star.C. The Trainer and Her Star Dog.D. Shelby’s Hard-luck Story.【答案】56-59BCDBTwo【黄浦区】Section BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.

A change appears to be taking place, though, and millennials are leading the way. According to one survey, more young people are starting to cook at home for three basic reasons: They can save money, eat healthy and waste less food.Popular TV chefs are also getting millennials excited about learning some basic cooking skills. Many millennials view cooking as a form of entertainment and self- expression. They proudly post pictures of their cooking creations on Facebook or Instagram, and invite friends over to share the cooking experience.Many millennials have also found ways to avoid wasting food. After roasting a chicken, they put the leftover bones in their freezer instead of the garbage can. Later, they use the bones to make chicken stock which is an important ingredient in many dishes.They also hate throwing out fruit that's too old. To avoid that situation, they bake ripe fruit like berries and bananas for 15 minutes at 175 degrees c. Then they freeze it overnight. After that, they place the fruit in plastic bags and store it their freezer for later use.Now any millennials only eat at restaurants that have excellent food-waste policies. These servants use every part of the vegetables they buy, including their stems and. rots, in dishes, They also use beef, chicken and pork bones to make their own stock.Millennials also reduce food waste by only buying what they require. Before going to a market, they write down what they need and don't buy anything else. They way they won't purchase more food than they can consume.56. What is the main subject of this article?A. A cooking trend that has attracted millennials.B.A plan that mllennials have for donating food.C.A novel cooking technique that millennials like.D. A food production system favored by millennials.57. What do milllennials with fruit before freezing it?A. Mix it with other ingredients in a bowl.B. Carefully remove the skin and seeds from it.C. Use a sharp knife to chop it up into pieces.D. Put it in an oven at the proper temperature.58. According to this article, when do millennials make careful choices?A. When they dine out togetherB. Whey they vote for candidatesC.

They weigh produce before buying it(B)Families should reduce exposure to synthetic chemicals found in food colorings, preservatives and packaging materials as a growing body of research shows they may harm children's health, according to a policystatement and technical report from the American Academy of Pediastrics released online.The statement also suggests improvements to the food additives regulatory system, including updating the scientific foundation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations safety assessment retesting all previously approved chemicals.Leonard Trasande ,the author of the policy statement, to tell us more about these concerns.Q: What are the growing number of studies showing us?A: Over the past two decades, an accumulating body of science suggests some food. additives can interfere with a child's hormones, growth and development.Potentially harmful effects of food additives are of special concern for children because they are more sensitive to chemical exposures because they eat and drink more relative to body weight. than adults do and are still growing and developing. An early injury to their organ systems can have lifelong and permanent consequences.Q: What additives does the statement highlight?A The additives of most concern, based on rising research evidence cited in the report, include:* Bisphenols, such as BPA used to harden plastic containers and line metal cans. can act like estrogen (雌激素)in the body wh ịch may potentially change the timing of puberty, decrease fertility, increase body fat and affect the nervous and immune systems. BPA is now banned. in baby bottles.* Phthalates, which make plastic and vinyl tubes used in industrial food production flexible, may affect male genital development increase childhood obesity and contribute to cardiovascular disease.

Native to Australia and a bit bigger than arabbit,it spends most of its time in eucalyptus trees (桉树), feeding on leaves that arepoisonous to nearly every other animal on the planet.The koala sleeps about 22 hours a day and spends the remainder of its timeeating and resting. It might spend 10 minutes a day moving, experts say, usually fromone tree to another. It has a soft pad at the end of its spine and extra thick fur on its rearend to make the effort, of siting more comfortable.Threats and protective measuresThe unique lifestyle of the koala has helped it prosper, but today the cute andiconic creature is facing threats from habitat loss, disease and a changing climate.Koala populations are expected to decline by 50 percent in the next 20 years according to the Australian Museum.To help protect these animals, which bring in an estimated $1.1 billion to Australia each year through koala-related tourism, an international team of researchers has published the first complete genome (基因组) of the koala.Their hope is that the keys to the marsupial's(有袋动物) long-term survival might be planted in its genetic code.The ultimate goal is that we won't have to.. .rescue them from the edge of extinction, " said Rebecca Johnson of the Australian Museum Research Institute in Sydney, who led thework.“Now we have a really good understanding of the koala genome, and we are in a fan tastic position to use thatknowledge to help us manage them.”Early findingsAn elementary analysis of the koala's genome, published in Nature Genetics, has already yielded some interesting findings.For example, the authors found that, compared to other mammals, the koala's DNA includes an expansion in the number of genes that encode for enzymes involved in anti-poison. That allows them to have. a diet that depends almost entirely on eucalyptus leaves, which are unusually high in poison. However, it also means that koalas metabolize (代谢) medicines like anti-chlamydia antibiotics faster than other animals.The koala genome also revealed why koalas are such famously picky eaters. They are known to consume leaves from just 20 of Australia's 60 known eucalyptus species. And even when they are in one of their preferred tees,koalas take leaf selection very seriously.Information waiting to be discoveredJohnson said that the information encoded in the koala's DNA is already being included in management strategies by conservation groups. However, she said the findings described in the new paper represent the early stages of what can be gleamed from the marsupial's genome.“The data is public, and I would love for anyone to start mining it and see what other amazing things they can find," she said. Once you have a genome of this quality, the sky's the limit with what you can do with it.”63. What can be concluded from the passage?A.
