备战2018年高考英语大题冲关秘笈专题05 冲关真题训练题组一Passage 1（2017·新课标卷I）If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping,I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36 The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering froma bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature.I recommend that you find your way in style.A. This time there was no tent.B. Things are going to be improved.C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.【文章大意】三年前，作者对露营一无所知，也不认为自己会喜欢露营。

【典例剖析】The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful ，or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness ，uneasiness ，or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable ；therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s ne eds.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people ，just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore ，when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops ，what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures ，silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways ，particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example ，Russian ，French ，and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However ，Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use ，persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect ，particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural。

备战2018年高考英语大题冲关秘笈专题05 冲关模拟训练题组一Passage 1（ 2018届山东省烟台市高三上学期期中考试）Why we still need to read DickensWalk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. Many of Dickens’ works still sell well today. 1As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind.2 One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture, I was telling the studentsthat for Victorian readers, Dickens’s writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. 3 “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teach you how to think,” I said.The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences.4 But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’s novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’sthe explanation I had sought for years.Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and wrote of times. 5 Ifyou have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.A. Then a hand shot up.B. I know that wasn’t really the reason.C. And they are placed on outstanding shelves.D. That question was never more troubling.E. That’s why we still need to read him today.F. I already know who it is I’ll meet in those novels.G. These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens.【文章大意】本文对为什么我们今天依然要阅读狄更斯著作的原因进行了分析。

专题11 旅游与交通模拟训练Passage 1（ 2017年高考名校调研卷英语第一模拟）I had the honour of being elected chief of my tribe(部落). With the title came great responsibility. It was my job to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village we visited. Their soldiers jumped from a canoe and faced us down with fierce crying, sticking eyes and much noise of sticks. They laid a palm leaf on the ground and, as head, I was forced to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. "Kia ora," he said, welcoming us into the woodland home of his people.My "tribe" was my New Zealand coach tour group, who had forced me into being their leader. We’d been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was non-stop fun as they demonstrated their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance immortalized(使不朽) by the All Blacks rugby team.Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slow-cooked in the heat just below the surface in the geothermal(地热的) area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show. "The wheels on the bus go round and round," he got us singing, while he circuited a roundabout three times.A couple of days from the end of our trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I wanted to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a ridge, there it was —Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as "the land of the long white cloud". Can I say "Kiaora, Aotearoa?" You bet I can.1.How were the visitors greeted in the tribe?A. The soldiers made a palm leaf road.B. The soldiers touched their noses.C. The soldiers shook sticks fiercely.D. The soldiers made noise with shut eyes.2. Which refers to the Maori cooking custom?A. Kia ora.B. Haka.C. Hangi.D. Tamaki.3. What does the author think of the driver?A. He was good at singing.B. He made the journey memorable.C. He was not familiar with the road.D. He performed well on a TV show.4. What is the best title for the text?A. A taste of Maori cultureB. Hello, New ZealandC. The honour of being a tribe chiefD. The best of New Zealand【话题解读】本文为记叙文，作者讲述了他去新西兰旅游时接触到的毛利文化。

It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The dayitself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.28. What can people do at the apple events?A. Attend experts’ lectures.B. Visit fruit-loving families.C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.D. Taste many kinds of apples.29. What can we learn about Decio?A. It is a new variety.B. It has a strange look.C. It is rarely seen now.D. It has a special taste.30. What does the underlined phrase ＂a pipe dream＂ in Paragraph 3 mean?A. A practical idea.B. A vain hope.C. A brilliant plan.D. A selfish desire.31. What is the author’s p urpose in writing the text?A. To show how to grow apples.B. To introduce an apple festival.C. To help people select apples.D. To promote apple research.【话题解读】作者向人们介绍了一个节日——Apple Day。

由于这个节日翡翠受欢迎，现在已经演变成＂苹果月＂了。

在英国，人们在十月份庆祝该节日，持续大约一个月的时间。

28.D 【解析】细节理解题。

根据第二段＂Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and oftentaste, a wide variety of apples.＂可知，参加相关庆祝活动的人们可以品尝各种各样的苹果，故选D。

30.B 【解析】猜测词义题。

根据第三段中的＂...but you’ll need a warm，sheltered place with perfectsoil to grow it...＂可知，这种苹果对各项条件要求很高，对于大多数苹果爱好者来说，种植这种苹果是无法实现的。

故选 B。

31.B 【解析】写作意图题。
