高三年高考题型组合套练 第十八练 阅读、七选五、完形、语法填空 组合练 一 、阅读理解 A “Hello. You are you and I am I. We are people, also known as humans. This makes us different from most of the things on Earth.” This fairly straightforward observation is the opening spread of Like, written by Annie Barrows. It establishes a somewhat odd yet matter-of-fact tone with a young boy addressing the reader. Matters get more quizzical — or philosophical (哲学意义的), if you prefer — on the following spread, which carefully thinks about the ways in which people are different from one specific thing on Earth, “We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans.” The target audience will no doubt be amused, as was I, and perhaps reassured. Like next matches people with the swimming pools, “We are a little bit more like a swimming pool than a tin can. We have water and chemicals and dirt inside us. But unlike a swimming pool we don't have people splashing around inside us.” Mushrooms, we learn, differ from tin cans and swimming pools by being alive, and by growing and reproducing — human traits, too! Mushrooms, however, don't have mouths and brains. But wait: Hyenas (鬣狗) have all that. “They run around really fast, like we do... But hyenas don't say words. They don't tell stories. They don't get embarrassed, even when they're caught eating something off the ground.” Where to go from there? “Look at all these people,” the text exclaims over the illustration full of people of seemingly every size, shape, color, age and means of mobility. “They are not exactly like us. But they are more like us than they are different.” “I am more like you than I am like most of the things on Earth,” the narrator concludes. “I'm glad. I'd rather be like you than a mushroom” — an appealing and inarguable understanding. 1.What does the underlined word“quizzical”mean in the second paragraph? A.Definite. B.Consistent. C.Unusual. D.Ambiguous. 2.According to the passage,which of the following is most like humans? A.Hyenas. B.Tin cans. C.Mushrooms. D.Swimming pools. 3.How is the writer's idea mainly developed in the passage? A.By describing in details. B.By making comparisons. C.By analyzing causes and effects. D.By presenting problems and solutions. 4.Where is the text most probably taken from? A.An animal encyclopedia. B.A story entry. C.A philosophical textbook. D.A book review. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇书评，主要介绍了安妮 · 巴罗斯写的 Like这本书的内容和写作特点。 1.C 解析 ：词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句中“which carefully thinks about the ways in which people are different from one specific thing on Earth”可知，这篇文章仔细，思考了人类与地球上某一特定事物的不同之处，据此可知，事情会显得不同寻常。C 项意为“不同寻常的”,故选C。 2.A 解 析 ：细节理解题。根据第三段可知，蘑菇与锡罐和游泳池的不同之处在于它是有生命的，而且还能生长和繁殖， 这也是人类的特征。但是，蘑菇没有嘴和大脑；但鬣狗拥有所有这些。据此可知，鬣狗更接近人类，故选 A。 3.B 解析：推理判断题。通读第三段可知，我们一点也不像锡罐，我们更像一个游泳池，我们体内有水、化学物质和污垢。磨菇与锡罐和游泳池的不同之处在于它是有生命的， 而且还能生长和繁殖——这也是人类的特征。然而，藤菇没有嘴和大脑。但是鬣狗拥有所有这些。但是鬣狗不会说话。据此可知，该段将人类和锡罐、游泳池、蘑菇以及鬣狗进行了对比，故本文使用了比较的方法。故选B。 4.D 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的“This fairly straightforward observation is the opening spread of Like, written by Annie Barrows,"以及下文内容可知，本文主要介绍了安妮 · 巴罗斯写的《Like》这本书的内容和写作特 点，据此可以判断，本文摘自书评。故选D。 【知识补充】 1.fairly adv.相当地，颇；公平地 2.splash v.(液体)稀里哗啦地溅落，飞溅 3.embarrassed adj.尴尬的，窘迫的；拮据的 【长难句分析】 Matters get more quizzical — or philosophical, if you prefer — on the following spread, which carefully thinks about the ways in which people are different from one specific thing on Earth (第二段第一句) 句意：如果你喜欢，下面的传播会让事情变得更有趣，或者更哲学，它仔细思考了人类与地球上某一特定事物的不同之处。 分析：本句是复合句，句中if引导条件状语从句，which 引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为the following spread,其中 in which 引导定语从句，修饰先行词 the way。 B Many owners of electric cars have wished for a battery pack that could power their vehicle for more than a thousand miles on a single charge. Researchers have developed a lithium-air battery that could make that dream a reality. The new battery design could also one day power airplanes and trucks. The main new component in this lithium-air battery is a solid electrolyte (电解质) instead of the usual liquid variety. Batteries with solid electrolytes are not subject to safety problems with the liquid electrolytes used in lithium-ion and other battery types, which can overheat and catch fire. More importantly, the solid electrolyte can potentially boost the energy four times, which translates into longer driving range. For over, a decade, scientists have been working overtime to develop a lithium (锂) battery that makes use of the oxygen in air,The lithium-air battery has the highest energy of any battery technology being considered for the next generation of batteries beyond lithium-ion. The new solid electrolyte is composed of a material made from relatively inexpensive elements, compared with the past designs. Besides, the chemical reaction in lithium-ion only involves one or two electrons stored per oxygen molecule (分子), while that for lithium-air battery involves four electrons. More electrons stored means higher energy. The new design is the first lithium-air battery that has achieved a four-electron reaction at room temperature. It also operates with oxygen supplied by air from the surrounding environment. The capability to run with air avoids the need for oxygen tanks to operate, a problem with earlier designs. “With further development, we expect our new design for the lithium-air battery to reach a record of 1,200 watt-hours per kilogram,” said Curtiss, a researcher. “That is nearly four times better than lithium-ion batteries.” 5.What contributes most to the lithium-air battery? A.Lithium-ion. B.Oxygen molecules. C.Solid electrolytes. D.Liquid component. 6.What's the problem with lithium-ion batteries? A.They burn easily if overheated. B.They are unsafe in production. C.They damage the environment. D.They require longer charging time. 7.How does the author organize paragraph4? A.By giving examples. B.By making comparisons. C.By presenting statistics. D.By analyzing cause and effect. 8.What is the best title of the text? A.How Lithium-air Batteries Work B.What Will Be Used to Power Airplanes C.Electric Cars Are Becoming More Popular D.New Batteries Offer Longer Driving Range 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了新的电池设计可以延长行驶公里数，甚至有一天也可以为飞机和卡车 提供动力。文章介绍了这种电池的工作原理和优势。 5.C 解析 ：细节理解题 。 根 据第一段中“The main new component in this lithium-air battery is a solid electrolyte instead of the usual liquid variety.(这种锂空气电池的主要新成分是固体电解质，而不是通常的液体电解质)”可知，固体电解质是锂电池最重要的部分。故选C。 6.A 解析；细节理解题。根据第二段中“Batteries with solid electrolytes are not subject to safety problems with the liquid electrolytes used in lithium-ion and other battery types, which can overheat and catch fire.(与锂离子电池和其他类型电池中使用的液体电解质相比，含有固体电解质的电池不存在安全问题，液体电解质可能会导致过热和着 火)”可知，俚离子电池的问题是如果过热，它们很容易烧坏 。 故选A。 7.B 解 析 ；推理判断题。根据第四段“The new solid electrolyte is composed of...involves four electrons. More electrons stored means higher energy.(与过去的设计相比，新的固体电解质由相对便宜的元素制成。此外，在锂离子的化学反应中，每个氧分子只存储1到2个电子，而锂空气电池则需要存储4个电子。储存的电子越多，能量就越高)”可推知， 作者通过作比较展开第四段。故选B。 8.D 解 析 ：标题归纳题 。 根据第一段“Many owners of electric cars...power airplanes and trucks.(许多电动汽车 的车主都希望有一种电池组，可以为他们的汽车充电一次，行驶1000英里以上。研究人员已经开发出一种锂空气电池，可以让这个梦想成为现实。新的电池设计有一天也可以为飞机和卡车提供动力。)”可知，文章主要介绍了新电池的一些特点和优势，D 选项“新电池提供更长的行驶里程” 最适合作文章标题。故选D。 【知识补充】 1.vehicle n.交通工具，车辆 2.component n.组成部分，成分 3.liquid adj.液态的，液化的 4.potentially adv.可能地，潜在地 5.instead of 而不是，代替 6.be subject to受支配，从属于；常遭受…… 7.make use of充 分 利 用 8.be composed of 由 … … 组成 【长难句分析】 Many owners of electric cars have wished for a battery pack that could power their vehicle for more than a thousand miles on a single charge.(第一段第一句) 句意：许多电动汽车的车主都希望能有一个电池组，一次充电就能让他们的汽车行驶一千多英里。 分析：本句是复合句，句中that could power their vehicle for more than a thousand miles on a single charge为that 引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a battery pack。 二、七选五 Why I Love June Memorial Day has come and gone and June has officially begun. In my mind, that means summer is here — even if the calendar says it doesn't arrive for another few weeks. How you greet a new season sets the tone for how positively you are prepared to enter into a new time of year. 1 and feel inspired to share my reasons why I love the start of the summer. I can have fun on the beach. I'm a beach lover. I've been sticking my feet in the grainy sands of the beach since I was born. 2 — and Grandma's blueberry pie (a great way to end a long beach day). I usually kick off my beach weekends in late May, but June is when I enjoy the salty smell and rolling waves as I close my eyes and let the sun pour down on my shoulders. 3 . When June rolls around I seem to notice the colorful flowers around me a lot more. Maybe it's because I've just started walking outside for longer periods of time as the weather allows it, or maybe it's because I've started wearing brighter colors, but the pink, purple, yellow and red flowers that blanket the parks and gardens I pass seem more brilliant than ever. I can breathe easier when I run. There's something about the June air here that makes me happy. Yes, we get the occasional hot summer day when all we can do is sit still and hope to feel cool, but for the most part, the sun and wind work together to give my lungs a healthy charge while I'm running along the river. It doesn't have that winter bite that causes me to cough. 4 I feel happier. It seems silly that the start of a certain month can change my mood, but when my sandals (凉鞋) remind me that my winter boots are hiding in the back of my closet, I feel a sense of joy. You could say the start of summer is like a mini new year for me. It brings life to plans and ideas that I may have been avoiding and gets me out and about. 5 Thanks,June. A.All kinds of plants start growing B.The flowers seem more attractive C.I actually enjoy exercising as a result D.It's always a place that I associate with enjoyment E.Seasons really can change more than just the weather F.I begin to think about how I feel about this lovely month G.Mother tells me it was on a rainy night in June that I arrived 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。作者喜欢的季节是夏季，并且描述了原因，这些原因包括作者热爱沙滩、喜欢花朵、可以自由运动、心情更加愉快。 1.F 解析：根据下文“and feel inspired to share my reasons why I love the start of the summer.”可知，作者想要分享他 的观点，首先就要进行思考，夏季的开端正好对应F 选项 中的this lovely month,所以F选项符合语境，故选F。 2.D 解析：根据上文“I can have fun on the beach.”可知，作者是喜欢沙滩的，沙滩对他来说是充满乐趣的，D 选项符合语境，故选D。 3.B 解析：根据下文“When June rolls around I seem to notice the colorful flowers around me a lot more.”可知，夏季到了，鲜花也开了，这也是作者喜欢夏季的原因之一，B 选项符合语境，故选B。 4.C 解析：根据上文“I can breathe easier when I run,”可知， 作者喜欢运动，但冬天太冷，不方便，夏天就方便多了，C 选项符合语境，故选C。 5.E 解析：根据上文“It brings life to plans and ideas that I may have been avoiding and gets me out and about.”可知， 夏季不光是季节变化，不光是天气变暖，对作者而言，更是人生的推进，是思想的升华，E 选项符合语境，故选 E。 三、完形填空 The title of “Aaron's younger brother” was earned when I had won the second place in my first tennis tournament at the age of six. Whenever I 1 onto a tennis court, it was as though a gluey name label, which had been 2 stuck onto me. I wanted to 3 Aaron, my older brother, whose fame had reduced me to a 4 tennis player. Then came a big tennis match against Aaron. As I shook Aaron's hand at the start of the match, I stared at him and focused on how this match was going to 5 everything. The tennis court seemed to stretch out further than usual, but I could still 6 the confident look on Aaron's face. He knew that my honor 7 in comparison to his. Finally, we were down to the last set, neck and neck in points. That was when the setting sun cast his figure over me, 8 me that I would always be walking in his 9 if I did not prove myself. I prepared myself for the finishing blow, 10 of Aaron's past matches flooding through my mind as. I 11 the weakness of his smash (扣球) the ball would always fly towards the left of the court. I extended my arm to the left in anticipation of where the ball was going to land. The ball made 12 with my racket and was lobbed over Aaron's head successfully.

What Chinese painters would like to produce in their paintings is not a visual effect of colors and patterns that Western painters tend 4 (achieve). The description of objects in Chinese paintings is by no means accurate because few painters 5 (concern) about their exact size or shape. What they want to seek is a spiritual world in their mind 6 nature provides exactly basic elements. This is how Chinese painters view nature. Remote mountains and running streams 7 (be) the primary materials of their thinking and creating since ancient times. Chinese artists often say that the artists first need to have a thorough and deep understanding of the natural 8 (exist) before drawing.
