2010年上海高三英语高考阅读理解新题型4 Bill Gates and the president of General Motors have met for lunch, and Bill is going on and on about computer technology. “If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a B-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour,” says Bill. “Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles on a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50. Why haven’t you guys kept up?” The president of GM smiles and says, “Because the federal government won’t let us build cars that crash four times a day.” Why is that funny (or not funny, as the case may be)? Human beings love to laugh, and the average adult laughs 17times a day. Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter. Jokes, sitcoms and comedies are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing fells good. For us it seems so natural, but the funny thing is that humans are one of the only species that laughs. Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems. Laughter is a great thing. That’s why we’ve all heard of the saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease. In this article. We’ll look at laughter-what it is, what happens in our brains when we laugh, what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier. You’ll also learn that there’s a tremendous (极大的) amount of facts that no one understands yet. 1 What’s the best title for the passage?_________________________________ 2 “Laughter is the best medicine.”means_____________________________ 3 From the passage , what are industries built around laughter?________________ 4 In paragragh 3,“sitcoms”means___________________
Answers: 1 How laughter works 2 laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease 3 jokes, sitcoms and comedies 4 situation comedy “Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family-----hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have the right to interfere with them-----they are their own masters. Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former time marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the parents’ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. At that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parent’s home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry. 1. The author mean by “family is of course an elastic word”? ____________________________________________________________ 2. For an English family, the husband’s duty is _____________________________________________________________.
3. Pride and Prejudice is a book mainly about ________________________. 4. With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former-time girls in ______________________________.

04-2020年上海市高三英语二模专项训练之阅读理解A篇金山区(A)EU members’states have agreed to ban a toxic substance widely found in clothing because it poses an“acceptable risk”to the environment.Countries voted in favor of extending existing restrictions on nonylphenol ethoxylates(NPE)to imports to clothing and other textile products.The measure is intended to protect species in e of NPE in textile manufature in Europe was banned over10years ago but the substance is still released into the water environment through imported textiles being washed.NPE degrades in the environment into substances including nonylphenol(NP),which accumulates in the bodies of fish and disturbs their hormones,harming fertility,growth and sexual development.NPE is used in textile manufacture as a cleaning and dyeing agent.The EU decision notes that several studies have found NPE to be present in textile items.A2011study by Greenpeace found NPE in two-thirds of clothes tested,including items sold by big-name brads such as Adidas,H&M,Lacoste,and Ralph Lauren.The NGO (Non-Governmental Organizations)argued that although concentrations of NPE found in the clothes were low,the chemical’s existence in the environment posed a risk.The new ban on textiles containing NPE in concentrations equal to or greater than0.01% will enter into force five years after it is adopted by the European Commission,which is likely to happen in September.In comments submitted to ECHA(European Chemicals Agency),clothing and textile firms have warned that obeying the restriction will be difficult because NPE ubiquitous in the supply chain and has numerous uses.The new restriction will not apply to second-hand goods or recycled textiles because it is assumed that these will already have been washed several times so they contain negligible（微不足道的）amounts of NPE.EU countries must eliminate pollution of water bodies by NP as it is a priority substance under the Water Framework Directive.A2013study by the UK environment agency warnedthat emissions from textiles could prevent progress towards this objective.It found29%of imported cotton underwear contained NPE,which was released during the first two washes by the consumer.56.The2011study by Greenpeace found_________.A.29%of imported cotton underwear contained NPEB.NPE had limited effects on aquatic speciesC.NPE was widely present in textile productsD.clothes of good quality had no concentrations of NPE57.What’s the possible meaning of the underlined part“is ubiquitous”is Paragraph7?A.is legally protectedB.is not easy to be foundC.seems to be every whereD.is uncommon58.What can we learn from the text?A.The original ban on use of NPE was very effective.B.Recycled textile contain less NPE.C.The new ban on imports of textile has come into force.D.The UK environment agency is optimistic about the new ban.59.Which section of the website does the text come from?A.lifestyleB.technology.C.Business.D.Environment.56-59CCBD闵行区(A)Brooke Martin’s golden retriever(金毛猎犬)Kayla hated being left alone or separated. She would howl,pace,and chew on things.Brooke learned that other people had the same problem with their pets.She wondered:“What if you could talk to your dog if you were gone?”Working with her father in their garage,the16-year-old came up with several ideas. Finally,she invented a device that allowed pet owners to video chat with their pets!She calls the device iCPooch.“The dog doesn’t have to answer the call,”explains Brooke.“It comes upimmediately on the screen on their end.It’s a two-way audio and video—you can see and hear each other.”With a click of a button you can even send the dog a treat!Her invention has earned her a spot competing against nine other finalists in a young scientist competition for middle-school students.These finalists,selected based on their short video presentations,are working with mentors over the summer before heading to the final competition in St.Paul,Minn.After Martin’s video put her among the10finalists in the Discovery Education3M Young Scientist Challenge,she was paired with Delony Langer-Anderson,a product development scientist in3M’s consumer health care division.―I just lead her down the product development path,Langer-Anderson told Live Science.This path includes guidance on how to test the potential product,which combines a video chat device that answers immediately on the dog’s end with a dog treat device the owner can remotely activate.‘One thing I have thought about a lot is,what happens if while the device is on the floor, what if your dog knocks it over,or scratches the screen?’Martin said.She and Langer-Anderson discussed this,and Martin is now testing materials at a local dog shelter by taping them to the dog house floors to see how well they withstand sharp teeth and claws.The finalists create models they can test,with the guidance from a mentor.Their projects include a fuel cell that transforms cut grass into electricity and an app that rewards drivers for not texting or nger-Anderson tries to help the students work through the scientific method,testing their hypothesis,in a determined way,―so the kids don’t get buried in data. she said.56.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A.“iCPooch”wins in a young scientist competition.B.A16-year-old girl invents a device for dog hunger.C.A man-made device lets people chat with their pets.D.A kid-invented device calm dogs’separation anxiety.57.“iCPooch”calms pet dogs

computers.D.They are all accomplished through individual work.56.D57.A58.C59.B长宁区(A)When an editor called to ask if I could photograph a story about fireflies in Mexico,I didn’t check my schedule before I said yes.I’d seen these insects light up the forests in Tlaxcala once before,and I jumped at the chance to go back.I had three nights to capture the magical scene in the forest.Camera stand in hand,I hiked with my colleagues into the foggy forest at dusk.According to our guides,visitors are usually not allowed to photograph the fireflies because the presence of artificial light from electronics can affect their habits.As I started shooting,I adjusted my exposures constantly to account for the fading light.In order to get the composition that I wanted,I placed my camera stand on a steep,rocky path and had to steady it during the long exposures.Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal,but thefireflies were very interested in the camera and,by extension, in me.I stood completely still while they crawled all over me—my arms,my hair,my face—and tickled(呵痒)my nose and cheeks.From what I observed,peakfirefly presence happens for only about20minutes each night,so I had time for just a few tries.On the last night everything came together.The weather cooperated.I had improved my method for focusing and composing in the dark with quickflashes from a powerful flashlight—and I’d grown accustomed to insects on my face.I was rewarded with the image you see here.Each spot of light is one of several bursts that afirefly makes as it travels in a 30-second exposure.You can trace the insects’paths:Some make small circles,like those inthe bottom center of the frame,while others move steadily in one direction or another.Thefirst time I visited thefireflies,I didn’t have the pressure of trying to capture and convey this astonishing scene.That will always be my favorite experience with these shining creatures.56.According to the passage,the author most probably is a(n)______.A.field biologistB.insect observerC.expert photographerD.mountain hiker57.The author placed the camera stand on a steep and rocky path to______.A.make up for the dying lightB.keep away from the annoying firefliesC.obtain an ideal imageD.catch peak firefly presence58.We can learn from the passage that the author______.A.was accused of capturing wild firefliesB.endured physically to get first-hand firefly shotsC.was tired of the exposure to dark forestsD.got his most satisfying image on the second night59.What does the author think of his experience in the forest?A.Fascinating.B.Passionate.C.Surprising.D.Miserable.56-59CCBA宝山区(A)In2008,someone,or perhaps a group of people,using the name Satoshi Nakamoto published a paper to an online group that discussed cryptography(密码使用法).That paper described a process that would use cryptography to create a secure electronic cash system, now known as a cryptocurrency(加密货币).Person to person payments could be made online using a shared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial institution.Each deal could happen very quickly.The shared network of computers would also serve as the meansto prove those deals safely.Getting rid of the need for a centralized banking system would open up the possibility for anyone to become part of the digital economy.Today,there are well over a thousand different cryptocurrencies.Most are still trying to be feasible global payment systems like Bitcoin.They are held back by problems affecting the entire cryptocurrency industry.One issue is weak security on cryptocurrency websites where users either store their electronic cash in virtual"wallets"or exchange one kind of electronic cash for another.In recent years,clever thieves have broken into many of these websites and stolen electronic cash.The websites are struggling to protect their users from such thefts.Another problem is the large number of fake cryptocurrencies that are advertised on the internet.The advertisements invite internet users to visit websites offering new cryptocurrencies.Many visitors are persuaded by the websites to buy their cryptocurrencies using actual ter,the websites disappear along with the victims'money.In response to this problem,companies like Facebook and Google are limiting cryptocurrency advertising on their websites.56.What does the article explain about Satoshi Nakamoto?A.Satoshi's background in international banking and investmentB.Satoshi's grave doubts about the true value of cryptocurrenclesC.Satoshi's close partnership with suspicious financial institutionsD.Satoshi's contribution to the development of the digital economy57.According to this article,what is true about numerous cryptocurrency websites?A.They and their users have been robbed.B.They've revealed the identities of their users.C.They reward their users with cool prizes.D.They arrange recreational events for users.58.What does the article indicate about the cryptocurrency industry?A.It's had to lay off lots of workers.B.It's celebrating a profitable year.C.It's facing some serious challenges.D.It's set a very high moral standard.59.According to this article,why are Facebook and Google limiting cryptocurrency advertising?A.Few cryptocurrencies need to be marketed.B.They've created their own cryptocurrency.C.They don't listen to cryptocurrency fans.D.Too many cryptocurrencies aren't real.56－59DACD崇明区(A)A growing number of American states are requiring schools to teach students“media literacy”skills.California is the latest state to pass such a requirement.Media literacy,also known as news literacy,is the ability to use critical thinking skills to recognize differences between real and“fake”news.The new law requires California’s Department of Education to provide materials related to media literacy on its website.Its goal is to give students a set of effective tools to“enable them to make informed decisions”.The media literacy efforts were based on a Stanford University study from2016.It found that80percent of U.S.middle school students failed to recognize an advertisement that looked like a real news story.The researchers also found that high school students had trouble telling the difference between a real and a fake news website.The study called for more efforts to help students recognize false information on the internet.It said that young people also need the skills to find out where news stories come from,and to be able to judge the trustworthiness of sources and writers.Carolyn Edy is a professor of communication at Appalachian State University in North Carolina.She said she has seen a clear change in her students’abilities to judge news sources. Edy said that when students used to read printed newspapers,it was easier for them torecognize fact from opinion.Now,it’s necessary to teach students how to fully examine websites.One of Edy’s goals is to teach students how to research the news organizations responsible for the stories they are reading.One way to do this is for students to ask a series of questions.One example is,“What is the overall mission of the organization?”Edy said young people also need to judge whether news organizations identify any possible conflicts of interest.Another question to ask is,“What do they do when they get a story wrong?”Responsible and trustworthy news organizations issue corrections if something is falsely reported,she said.Edy added that one good thing to come out of the rise of misinformation and fake news is that it has made many people seek out good reporting.56.The new law passed in California mainly aims at__________.A.helping students identify fake newsB.improving students’critical thinking skillsC.offering students real informationD.enabling students to make quick decisions57.Why does the author mention the Stanford University study?A.To present the details of the law.B.To provide a set of tools for the law.C.To show the reason behind the law.D.To indicate the efforts based on the law.58.Which is a way suggested by Carolyn Edy for students to judge the trustworthiness of a news organization?A.Identifying the conflicts of interest in it.B.Correcting its falsely reported news stories.C.Learning about its background information.D.Asking a series of questions about its news.59.The passage mainly tells us that media literacy____________.A.can contribute to the rise of good news reportingB.is becoming much more important with the law passedC.can improve American students’understanding of newsD.is increasingly recognized as essential for students in the US56.A57.C58.C59.D奉贤区(A)One spring day,once the flowers have begun to open,a bee will hover(盘旋)and zip through your yard and dive-bomb your picnic table.While you're thinking about avoiding an attack,that bee is focused on something else entirely:me.A honeybee has about six weeks to live.Today,like most days,her task is to fly as many as three miles from home,stick her long,straw-like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill,she’ll fly home.There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers,who will relay it to another,and so on for about20 minutes,until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb.Then she and her50,000or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night,flapping their wings to create hot,breezy conditions to remove the water from the mixture.Several sunrises later,they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax.In her lifetime,our bee may visit4,000flowers,and yet will produce only one-twelfth of a tea spoon of me.The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year,in tea,on toast,and beyond.If I do say so myself,I am a timeless treasure.Literally--I never go bad.Unfortunately,my good health is not guaranteed.The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals,as well as changes in weather patterns,all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit.I'd appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild.My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers,thus helping the bees,who give so much--to you,to me--without ever asking for anything in return.56.What does“me”refer to in the passage?A.The flower.B.The bee.C.Water.D.Honey.57.What is the2nd paragraph mainly about?A.Bees'special talent.B.Bees'hard work.C.Bees'living environment.D.Bees'social behavior.58.Which one of the following is true according to the passage?A.A bee will always prioritize attacking picnic lovers.B.Before“me”is sealed off in beeswax,the drying process can take a few nights.C.The lifework of a bee satisfies the average demand of an American consumer annually.D.Bees are more likely to visit those deliberately pest-controlled gardens.59.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To appeal for help for honeybees.B.To talk about the history of a treasure.C.To put forward techniques for gardeners.D.To argue against the control of chemicals.56-59DBBA虹口区(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 April2017,when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County.Tennessee.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 that3,200kilometers 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 trainer Teresa Ann Miler.Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that couldplay 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 ler 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 had 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 before a 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 reader’s 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 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 fate.C.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.56-59BCDB黄浦区(A)Katherine Jonson,winner of the presidential medial of freedom,refused to be limited by society5expectations of her gender and race while expanding the borders of humanity’s reach--President Barack Obama,2015Using little more than a pencil,a slide rule and one of the finest mathematical minds in the country,Mrs.Johnson,who died at101,calculated the precise path that would let Apollo11 land on the moon in1969and,after Neil Armstrong's history-making moonwalk,let it return to Earth Wet throughout Mrs.Johnson's33years in NASAN&Flight Research Division and for decades afterward,almost no one knew her name.She was just one of those unheralded women who,well before the modem feminist(女权）movement,worked as NASA mathematicians.But it was not only her gender that kept her long marginalized and long unsung Katherine Johnson,a West Virginia native,was also African-American.But over time,the work of Mrs.Johnson and her colleagues--countless calculations done mainly by hand,using slide rules,chart paper and inefficient desktop calculating machines--won them a level of acceptance that for the most competitive race.“NASA was a very professional organization,"Mrs.Johnson told The Observer of Fayetteville,N.C.,in2010."They didn't have time to be concerned about what color I was."Nor,she said,did she.“I don't have a feeling of inferiority,"Mrs.Johnson said on at least one occasion.“Never had.I m as good as anybody,but no better."To the end of her life,Mrs.Johnson refused praise for her role in sending astronauts into space,keeping them on course and bringing them safely home."I was just doing my job,"Mrs.Johnson repeatedly said so.But what a job it was--done,no less,by a woman born at a time when the odds were more likely that she would die before age35than even finish high school.56.The underlined word“unheralded”most probably means______.A.not

Barriers56-59:BCAD浦东新区(A)To Be a Deaf DJI was born in England with perfect hearing.In1990,when I was five,my family moved to the United States.I started getting ear infections every three months or so.We didn’t havehealth insurance at the time,and when I got a third infection,my parents couldn’t afford the treatment.I went deaf in my right ear and was left with50percent hearing in my left.Over time,my remaining hearing dropped to20percent,where it is today.My doctors predicted that I would be thoroughly deaf by now,so I think I’m doing pretty well.There was always music on in my house in my childhood.I loved listening to Metallica, Led Zeppelin,Michael Jackson.My dad was a DJ,so he played disco,folk,rock,and music from other countries.For my18th birthday,my dad asked me to deejay at the restaurant be owned.After doing that for a few weeks,I was hooded.I desired to learn more.I e-mailed DJ Shiftee,a distinguished New York City DJ,when I was25:“I know you like a challenge.How about teaching a deaf person to deejay?”He wrote back the next day;“Challenge accepted.”He tutored me twice a week for two years,helping me develop correct technique.I practiced four hours a day.Now when I’m performing,muscle memory takes over.When I started,I wouldn’t tell the club managers that I was deaf.I would just show up,introduce myself,and start playing music.At the end of the night,someone would say,“Oh,here’s the check.”And I’d say,“What?Oh,I can’t hear.”They were always so astonished.Sometimes I would bring doctor’s notes because they wouldn’t believe me.It was reassurance that they were giving me opportunities to perform because I was brilliant,no out of sympathy.Eventually people started calling me“that deaf DJ,”and the name stuck.What fascinates me about deejaying is the creativity.I use software that turns the music into lines of color on a computer screen.I’m visually hearing the music.The next time you go dancing,cover your ears,and you’ll start seeing that you’re able to hear the music in a different way.Music is not all about hearing.I pay all sorts of get-togethers now,from college parties to corporate events.I also go to elementary schools for the deaf and talk to the students about motivation and believing in themselves.I’m big on talking to the parents.I tell them,“My advice to you is let your kids chase their dreams.I’m a deaf DJ,so why not?”56.Which of the following might result in the author’s hearing loss?A.Monthly ear infection.B.Moving to the U.S.C.Family financial hardshipD.The doctors’prediction.57.How did DJ Shiftee help the author during his youth?A.He taught him correct skills.B.He discovered his talent for DJ.C.He played at the restaurant for him.D.He cultivated his taste for foreign music.58.The underlined expression in Paragraph3“the name stuck”probably means that _________.A.the author was in low spiritsB.the author impressed people deeplyC.the audience felt disappointed by the playerD.the audience looked down upon the player59.We can conclude from the passage that the author loves deejaying because_________.A.working as a DJ involves innovationB.music helps him to see the world virtuallyC.he motivates the kids to realize their dreamD.he desires to challenge something impossible56-59CABA松江区(A)Have you ever heard of Nollywood?Nollywood is the name of the Nigerian(尼日利亚的) film industry:Nigeria is one of the

2010年上海高三英语高考阅读理解新题型2Section ＤDirections: Read the following passage and complete the sentences or answer theIn the United States, friendships can be close, constant, intense, generous, and real, yet fade away in a short time if circumstances change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while -- then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship where it left off and are delighted.In the States, you can feel free to visit people's homes, share their holidays, enjoy their children and their lives without fear that you are taking on a lasting obligation. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you cannot give it in return. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily.Once you arrive there, the welcome will be full and warm and real. Most visitors find themselves readily invited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what is felt as "merely" home cooked food, not "doing something" for your guest. It is felt that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for various other reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family custom, outsiders are not invited into homes.In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to one's home than to go to a public place, except in purely business relationships. So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment.Don't feel neglected if you do not find flowers awaiting you in your hotel room either. Flowers are very expensive there, hotel delivery is uncertain, arrival timesare delayed, changed, or canceled -- so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted! Outward signs vary in different lands; the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real.1.In the United States, it’s unnecessary to decline hospitality because the hospitality___________.2.What will the welcome to an American family be like ?3.In the United States, inviting a guest to eat outside is considered ________________ at home.4.Why aren’t flowers customarily sent to your hotel room ?Keys 1.can’t be given in return2.

It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor. The type of home you have is another. Things like insulation present energy coasts, and the type of system you buy are added factors.Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our futureenergy needs. And when Mother Nature says that’s all. The only way we can delay hea ring those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun.We won’t have to worry about the suns running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides begin an endless source of energy, the use of the sun has other advantages as well. The sun doesn’t offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel plants add to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we won’t need as much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.With all these good points, why don’t we use more solar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy. All that is changing now. Solar coats are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed. Solar energy is now in its infancy. It could soon grow to become a major part of our nation’s energy supply.1.What can solar energy help us to do ?2.How long will the sun run for ?3.We don’t need so much energy if we solve ___________________________.4. Solar energy is now in its infancy, but it will be considered as ____________.Keys:1. It can help us save our precious fuel2.

New technologies have made clerical work so efficient that fewer workers are necessary, so one assistant may serve several bosses.Bosses in the United States are spending twice as much time resolving employee disputes as they did just a decade ago. Corporate downsizing has made workers more insecure and competitive, increasing the number of personality conflicts that managers are forced to settle.Fighting age bias(偏见) may be a critical workplace issue of the future. As companies depend on older, more experienced workers to solve labor shortages in the next century, managers will need to overcome the view that older workers are less productive, less flexible, and more expensive. Electronic networking will give more power to workers at the bottom of the corporate pecking order(等级排序).Computer networks allow employees to skip over chains of command and communicate directly with senior managers. The relative anonymity (匿名) of electronic communications will make low-status individuals more relaxed about expressing their points of view and offering valuable new ideas.1. ____________________________________________ will enable low-status individuals to feel relaxed about expressing their points of view andoffering valuable new ideas.2.

Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.A 69-year-old grandmother with no teeth of her own has eventually won a long legal battle to stop a Scottish regional council（政务委员会）adding fluoride（氟化物）chemical to the public water supply.In a case which has already cost the taxpayer ￡1,000,000, the judge ruled that it was beyond the powers of the local authority to add the chemical to the water in order to reduce tooth decay.At her home last night Mrs Catherine said fluoride to public drinking water made it into some kind of dirty soup. “Where would it stop?” she asked. “They might come up with the idea of putting drugs into the water to keep the unemployed quiet.” It was a h orrible poison, she said, that could have caused al kinds of diseases, including cancer.The judge, however, concluded that there was no evidence to suggest that the inclusion of fluoride in the water supply would have had a negative effect on pulpier health. Although the chemical might serve as an efficient and convenient means of achieving a beneficial effect on the dental health of consumers generally, he said, and its use was greatly favored by the dental profession, he could also understand why some members of the public, Mrs Catherin ,in particular, might be passionately opposed to the action of the Water Authority in assuming the right to improve public well-being without consulting the public in the first case. The Authority’s legal duty to provide “wholesome” water for public consumption which was both safe and pleasant to drink ,did not, he said, extend to their right to safeguard public health by chemical means.1.The local authority add the chemical to the water for the purpose of ________________.2.By saying “They might come up with the idea of putting drugs into the water to keep theunemployed quiet”, Mrs Catherine showed her ____________ towards the local authority.3.

高考语法填空专练及解题技巧
做题步骤：
一、浏览全文把握语篇
浏览全文的目的是把握其大意，为下一步“填空”做好“语义”上的准备，因为“语义”决定着空白处应填一个什么意思的词语并采用什么样的语法形式。在通读全文的过程中，为较好地把握其大意，很有必要弄清该文的体裁、题材（语题）、中心思想、写作主线、段落大意、段落层次等。这些有利于考生真正读懂全文大意，也有利于在“填空”时进行必要的逻辑推理。
She has turned down several67(invitation) to star at shows in order to concentrate on her studies. After school she plans to take a year off to model full-time before going to university to get a degree68engineering or architecture.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Most people agree that November 24 and 25, 2005 are important dates in the history of modem medicine. At that time, a team of surgeons in France achieved a medical breakthrough when they succeeded in performing the first partial face transplant.A 38-year-old Frenchwoman, Isabelle Dinoire, had been badly disfigured when her dog tried to wake her after she had taken some sleeping pills. After the dog's 'attack9, she had terrible injuries. She had lost most of her nose, lips and chin. As a result, she had difficulty eating and drinking. The doctors at the hospital decided to improve the quality of her life by giving her a partial face transplant.Ms Dinoire is making a good recovery after her operation. However, she will have to take drugs for many years to come so that her body does not reject the new face tissue. No one really knows what the effects of these drugs will be on her health in the long term. She will probably also need psychological treatment as she adjusts to her 4new face\Dr Jean-Michel Dubemard, a leading transplant expert who participated in the surgery, explained that the woman's face 'will not exactly resemble her face before, but neither will it completely resemble that of the donor.’ He said.While some people approve of the operation, others have been more critical. They question whether Ms Dinoire was able to agree to the operation when she was in such an emotional state at the time. Other medical experts say that the team should have tried more traditional reconstruction surgery before risking a face transplant.The operation was the first partial face transplant using skin from another person. Apparently, skin from another person’s face is usually a better match than skin from another part of the patient’s body.Since the French operation, surgeons in other countries have received permission to perform face transplants. In a few years, time, surgeons in other countries will probably have carried out many such transplants, and the debate about face transplants will undoubtedly continue.56. What difficulty may Isabelle Dinoire have in the coming years?A. She may start to learn how to eat and drink again.B. She may need several more operations to recover.C. She may meet with some mental problems.D. She may have to get used to another person’s face.57. What is special about the operation?A. It fails to take the difference between the patient’s face and the donor’s into account.B. It was intended to give other countries an example for how to do face transplant.C. No permission from the authorities had been given before it was performed.D. No operation has been carried out before by using a donor’s face skin.58. Why do some people object to such an operation?A. It costs more than traditional face surgery.B. It may not be of the patient^ own will.C. It has no official regulations to follow.D. It requires doctors' strong emotion.59. What is the passage mainly about?A. The debate over the face transplant.B. The world's first partial face transplant.C. The advantage and disadvantages of face transplants.D. The patient that has undergone a partial face transplant.(B)1. A Beijing woman is so angry with a local cinema that she is suing (^i^) them for wasting her time. Chen Xiaomei is suing the cinema's owners because she was not warned about the 20 minutes of adverts and trailers before the main feature. She is demanding a full refund (35 yuan), a certain amount of money to make up for emotional damage and a written apology. In addition, Xiaomei now says that length of advertisements should be published on its website. In total, they should be less than five minutes, she believes.2. Terrified by the latest horror film? Or in tears at the latest romantic comedy?Soon advertisers will be able to see your reaction to a film, so that adverts can be changed to make them more effective. Technology is now being developed which can capture how the cinema audience reacts. It will give film directors and advertisers useful information about what audiences enjoy and what captures their attention,* says the inventor, Dr Abdul Farooq. The technology will also be used to find pirates who secretly record films and then sell them illegally.3. A German DJ has broken the record for the world’s longest non-stop radio show. Dominik Schollmayer, 26, ran his show for 169 hours on end, beating the previous record by one hour. Schollmayer was observed by doctors all through his broadcast: they said that the DJ had gone ‘completely mad’ and was dancing like a crazy man’ in the last few hours. At the end, Schollmayer said he was ‘totally exhausted’.60. The best title of _______ might be “Who’s watching the audience?”A. story 1B. story 2C. story 3D. story 461. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the stories above?A. Chen Xiaomei holds that there shouldn’t be advertisements before a filmB. Those who sell films illegally often skip the advertisements.C. The previous record of the world’s longest non-stop radio show was 168 hours.D. Kim Perez knew she would be proposed to before the weather forecast started.62. Where are the stories above most likely to appear?A. In a newspaperB. In an advertising leafletC. In a travel guideD. In an instruction mamual(C)Neuro-technology has long been a favorite of science-fiction writers. In “Neuromancer”,a wildly inventive book by William Gibson written in 1984，people can use neural(神经的）implants to get into the sensory experiences of others. Iain M. Banks came up with the idea of a neural lace, a mesh（⽹格）that grows into the brain，in his “Culture” series of novels. “The Terminal Man*' by Michael Crichton, published in 1972, imagines the effects of a brain implant on someone who is convinced that machines are taking over from humans.Where the sci-fi led, philosophers are now starting to follow. I n Howard Chizeck’s lab at the University of Washington, researchers are working on an implanted device to administer deep-brain stimulation (DBS) in order to treat a common movement disorder called essentialtremor. Traditionally, DBS stimulation is always on, wasting energy and robbing the patient of a sense of control. The lab’s ethicist (伦理学家), Tim Brown, a doctoral student of philosophy, says that some DBS patients suffer a sense of isolation and complain of feeling like a robot.To change that, the team at the University of Washington is using neuronal activity associated with intentional movements to turn the device on. But the researchers also want to enable patients to use a conscious thought process to override these settings. That is more useful than it might sound: stimulation currents for essential tremor can cause side-effects like distorted speech, so someone about to give a presentation, say, might wish to shake rather than make his words unclear. Giving humans more options of this sort will be essential if some of the more advanced visions for brain-computer interfaces are to be realized. Hannah Maslen from the University of Oxford is another ethicist who works on a BCI project. One of her jobs is to think through the distinctions between inner speech and public speech: people need a dependable mechanism for separating what they want to say from what they think.That is only one of many ethical questions that the sci-fi versions of brain-computer interfaces bring up. What protection will BCIs offer against neural hacking? Who owns neural data, including information that is gathered for research purposes now but may be understandable in detail at some point in the future? Where does accountability lie if a user does something wrong? And if brain implants are performed not for treatment but to improve peopled abilities, will that make the world an even more unequal place?63. What do the three books mentioned in paragraph 1 have in common?A. They are all among what philosophers like best.B. They all tell the stories well beyond imagination.C. They are all works of the greatest sci-fi writers of the time.D. They all deal with people’s losing control of their brains.64. The research of the team at the University of Washington is intended to .A. improve the accuracy of DBSB. let patients decide when to turn on DBSC. separate what we think from what we sayD. get rid of the side effects of stimulation currents65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Neuronal activity fails to work without intentional movements.B. Brain-computer interfaces do more harm than good.C. People suffering from essential tremor will shake.D. DBS settings cannot be changed once fixed.66. What will the passage most probably talk about next?A. How these questions will be handled.B. Why these questions used to be ignored.C. Which questions come from science fiction.D. Who has first raised these questions.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The World’s Worst AirportLike expensive watches that never break, the world’s best airports can be boring. You land, breeze through passport control and check into a hotel within minutes. The experience is pleasant, but not memorable. _______67______ To adapt Tolstoy, lovely airports are all alike, but every (不幸的）airport is wretched in its own way.Consider Juba, the airport in South Sudani capital, which is a hot tent. Planes are often late, so passengers must sweat for hours. The departure hall has no toilets, no food and no queuing system. Lucky is the traveller who finds a chair that is only half-broken. Since dirty water and tropical diseases are common, so are upset stomachs. Tough luck. Travellers should have thought twice before eating salad._________68____ Big important people's servants carry their bags, which are ostentatiously (卖弄地) passed round, not through, the scanner. Since the machine seldom works, little people are in effect up- graded to big important status by not having their bags scanned for guns and explosives, either.South Sudan is at war, so many UN planes take off from Juba carrying aid workers and emergency supplies._______69______ When a journalist was booked on a UN flight, he was assured by the government that his papers were in order. Yet at the airport he was told to get a fourth permit, as well as the three expensive ones he had already obtained. This required a trip across town. Predictably, he missed his plane.Juba has three terminals, but only one is in use. After South Sudan became independent in 2011, the government planned to build an airy structure of glass, steel and concrete. ______70_______In 2016 the government decided to build a more modest terminal. But it, too, stands half-completed and empty, next to the tented camp that people actually have to use. Travellers are advised to bring a good, long book.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Rubbish on the roof of the worldYou might think that the top of Mountain Everest, the highest point in the world, would be one of the few places left on the planet that is free from human rubbish. You'd be wrong. In fact, the mountain is covered with the litter left behind by the thousands of climbers who have reached the peak over the last 50 years.Climbing Mount Everest is a tough task that requires a lot of equipment. Oxygen tanks, tents, sleeping bags and food and water supplies are all necessary for a successful ascent. Once climbers have reached the top, they no longer need as much equipment and there is little reason to carry heavy loads back down the mountain, so the temptation is to leave everything behind. In the days when climbing the mountain was a rare occurrence this wasn't a problem. But now, with more than 40 people getting to the top on some days, the amount of litter has become unacceptable.Recently, many well-known mountaineers have been complaining about the problem and Sir Edmund Hillary (1919-2008), the first man to climb Mount Everest (with Tenzing Norgay in 1953), called for a five-year ban on climbing the summit. But thousands of local people rely on the tourism and the government of Nepal is keen to encourage visitors rather than put them off.But now the government of Nepal, in the face of international criticism, has decided to take action. Each expedition that wants to climb the mountain has to play a $4,000 deposit to the Nepalese authorities. The deposit is refunded if the climbers bring their rubbish back down the mountain. Climbers are also encouraged to use metal containers rather than plastic or glass. These can be crushed once they are empty and then recycled by local business which turn them into knives and forks.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.重要的是坚持下去的勇⽓。

In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them .Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable(时兴的）to think that by free education for all--whether rich or poor , clever or stupid --one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees ,they refuse to do what they think "low "work and , in fact ,work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries .But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated , farmer is far more important than that of a professor, we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns...In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life , it means that we must be educated in such a way that , firstly each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and , secondly that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society , and that is very badto be ashamed of one's work . Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.1. What is the purpose of education in the passage?2. According to the passage, what is the wrong attitude of some people with university degrees?3. The writer wants to prove that our society needs ___________________________ jobs.4.

I was watching a little child (maybe a couple of years old), whose mother (it would seem) was waiting in line to order food. The child walked up to a curtain, pulled it back, and was delighted to find a blank wall, no windows. The c hild tried to call his/her mother’s attention to this situation. And the mother said, “Get away from there.”To me, the child represented all of the people who are curious about the world, who delight in new discoveries. The mother represented the multitudes (众多) of other people, who are not curious, whose minds are no longer alive to that sort of thing. You and I know that curtains and windows go together, but not always. We would not be surprised to find a blank wall behind a curtain. But, we are curious and childlike, aren’t we? We want to know things, things that other people know, and things that no one has ever known.It was a delight to watch this child. I may have enjoyed the child’s discovery more than the child did. I was saddened to think about the mother. Of course, she may have been a wonderful person, with a wonderful mind. She just may not have been in tune with her child, at that moment. But, I wondered if this child would be stifled (抑制), worn down, like so many, and become an adult without any childlike thoughts. That saddened me.To my mind, the two golden, childlike properties of a brain are curiosity and creativity. Many adult activities (jobs, hobbies, pastimes) use one orthe other of these properties, in particular the sciences (mainly curiosity) and the arts (mainly creativity).1.

He thinks it very precious, and it may lead to the successful future.Section ＤDirections: Read the following passage and complete the sentences or answer the questions according to the information given in the passage you have just read.It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only “remembering” things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed(嗅到，闻到) something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a base ball bat.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a largecomputer may hold up to 100,000 “words”—ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human bengs. A large part of a person’s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.1.What’s the definition of memory?2. What is functioning when the rats refused to eat grain after sniffing something suspicious in the grain pile.3. __________________ has a larger memory-storage capacity between computers and teenagers.4. The phrase ________________ in the last paragraph can best be replaced by in connection with.Keys:1. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use.2. Memory is functioning.3. Teenagers4. In terms ofSection ＤDirections: Read the following passage and complete the sentences or answer the questions according to the information given in the passage you have just read.A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children’s safety on the roads.Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government have said in the past that they will not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster.Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term.They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children wholive further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.(题目没有)Answer：1.To prevent the students’ road accidents.2.By linking the new bus service with the existing one.3.the local government and the parents4. The parents can get rid of their worries.Section ＤDirections: Read the following passage and complete the sentences or answer the questions according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in basics of good behavior in society, and was reading English literature. At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly simple for a gentleman, andincomplete. For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he didn't go to the college of William and Mary in Virginian Capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington was different from some other early American presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress (国会辩论), or any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leader, he didn't visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.(字数过少)1. What reason does the author give for Washington not going to college?2. The author refers to three other US presidents to show that ____________________________.3. Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he _________________________.4.
