高三年题型组合套练 第十一练 阅读、七选五、完型、语法填空 组合练 一 、阅读理解 A Dr. Nancy Roman, born in1925, who was celebrated as a pioneer for female scientists and had advanced the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, died on Dec.25, 2018. When Nancy Roman asked for permission to take a second algebra (代数) course in high school, a teacher demanded to know “what lady would take mathematics instead of Latin”. In college, a professor admitted that he often tried to prevent women from majoring in physics but Nancy stuck to it. And after receiving Doctor's degree in astronomy, she found a professional home at NASA (美国宇航局). In 1959, Dr. Roman became the first chief of astronomy at NASA headquarters, a role that made her one of the agency's first female leaders. Dr. Roman spent much of her career helping develop, fund and promote technology that would help scientists see more clearly beyond Earth's atmosphere. But her most well-known work was perhaps leading to design the Hubble Space Telescope, the first major telescope to be sent into space for the purpose of gathering photographs and data from the universe. She was, therefore, named as “the mother of Hubble”. “She made it possible to get the early telescope up into space to learn what needed to be learned," said science historian Bob Zimmerman, "and her hard-nosed nature helped get the telescope built." The telescope did not launch until 1990, a little more than a decade after Dr. Roman retired, but when it did, its photographs of the universe thrilled the world. "I am glad," she once told Science, "I ignored the people who told me that I could not be an astronomer." 1.What can we conclude from the teacher's reaction to Nancy.Roman's application for taking a second algebra course? A.The teacher doubted it. B.The teacher didn't care about it. C.The teacher accepted it at once. D.The teacher was strongly against it. 2.What was the most famous achievement of Nancy Roman's work? A.She was one of the founders of NASA. B.She proved the black hole really existed. C.She was the first female astronomer in the world. D.She led to design the Hubble Space Telescope. 3.When did Dr Nancy Roman probably retire? A.In 1969. B.In 1979. C.In-1990. D.In 2000. 4.What can we learn from Dr. Nancy Roman's words in the last paragraph? A.She was very proud of what she had done for the:country. B.She thought highly of the people who hadn't believed her. C.She was delighted to have become an astronomer in spite of the prejudice on her. D.She had hard-nosed nature and never cared about-other people's opinions. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了南希 · 罗量忽视 他人偏见，成为一名天文学家的故事。 1.A 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“what lady would take mathematics instead of Latin (哪个女士会修数学而不 是拉丁语)”可知，老师对此表示怀疑。故选A。 2.D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段可知，南希 ·罗曼最著名的成就是主导设计了哈勃太空望远镜。故选D。 3.B 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The telescope did not launch until 1990,a little more than a decade after Dr Roman retired”可知，这架望远镜直到1990年才发射，也就是罗曼博士退休后的十多年，由此可推测知，她是在七十年 代退休的。故选B。 4.C 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘I am glad,' she once told Science,'I ignored the people who told me that I could not be an astronomer.?”可知，她很高兴坚持做 自己，而忽略那些质疑自己能成为天文学家的人。故选C。 【知识补充】 1.hard-nosed adj.顽强的，不屈不挠的 2.thrill v.使非常兴奋 3.major in 主修 4.stick to坚持 5.for the purpose of为了……目的 【长难句分析】 “She made it possible to get the early telescope up into space to learn what needed to be learned,” said science historian Bob Zimmerman, “and her hard-nosed nature helped get the telescope built.”(第四段) 句意：科学历史学家鲍勃 ·齐默尔曼说：“她让早期的望远镜进入太空，使了解需要了解的东西成为可能，她的顽强天性帮助望远镜建成。” 分析：本句为复合句。it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是动词不定式短语to get the early ...to be learned 。what needed to be earned是宾语从句，作learn的宾语。 B Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time. In this "book of books", artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses — absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to. Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智) , wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks — transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures. Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st- century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity. 5.Where is the text most probably taken from? A.An introduction to a book. B.An essay on the art of writing. C.A guidebook to a museum. D.A review of modern paintings. 6.What are the selected artworks about? A.Wealth and intellect. B.Home and school. C.Books and reading. D.Work and leisure. 7.What do the underlined words "relate to" in paragraph2 mean? A.Understand. B.Paint. C.Seize. D.Transform. 8.What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader? A.The printed book is not totally out of date. B.Technology has changed the way we read. C.Our lives in the 21st century are networked. D.People now rarely have the patience to read. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了南希 · 罗量忽视 他人偏见，成为一名天文学家的故事。 1.A 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“what lady would take mathematics instead of Latin (哪个女士会修数学而不 是拉丁语)”可知，老师对此表示怀疑。故选A。 2.D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段可知，南希 ·罗曼最著名的成就是主导设计了哈勃太空望远镜。故选D。 3.B 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The telescope did not launch until 1990,a little more than a decade after Dr Roman retired”可知，这架望远镜直到1990年才发射，也就是罗曼博士退休后的十多年，由此可推测知，她是在七十年 代退休的。故选B。 4.C 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘I am glad,' she once told Science,'I ignored the people who told me that I could not be an astronomer.?”可知，她很高兴坚持做 自己，而忽略那些质疑自己能成为天文学家的人。故选C。 【知识补充】 1.hard-nosed adj.顽强的，不屈不挠的 2.thrill v.使非常兴奋 3.major in 主修 4.stick to坚持 5.for the purpose of为了……目的 【长难句分析】 “She made it possible to get the early telescope up into space to learn what needed to be learned,” said science historian Bob Zimmerman, “and her hard-nosed nature helped get the telescope built.”(第四段) 句意：科学历史学家鲍勃 ·齐默尔曼说：“她让早期的望远镜进入太空，使了解需要了解的东西成为可能，她的顽强天性帮助望远镜建成。” 分析：本句为复合句。it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是动词不定式短语to get the early ...to be learned 。what needed to be earned是宾语从句，作learn的宾语。 二、七选五 Why Do Brides Wear White? In many societies the color white has been associated with purity and virtue, and that is one reason why some brides choose to wear white, especially in the West.Usually, you will hear that brides.wear white because “it's a tradition”. But, historically, white was not the only color considered for wedding dresses. 1 For many centuries in Western societies, wedding dresses had different colors. 2 Brides tended to buy a wedding dress that could be worn again, or they simply wore the best dress they already owned. And white is not practical: it is difficult to keep clean and is therefore not ideal for many situations or for repeated wear. Many brides chose to wear dresses of other colors for their wedding and beyond. 3 They do so largely thanks to a trend that started with Queen Victoria's 1840 wedding to Prince Albert. 4 Although not in as many different media as we have now, they still had a tendency to be trendsetting. So Victoria chose to wear a white gown (女礼服) — reportedly to show off the fine detailed Honiton lace produced by the British lace industry, which was depressed at the time. Her fashion choice was widely reported in newspapers and magazines. 5 Eventually, the trend of a white wedding gown spread across all economic levels and it was strengthened as “tradition” in the 20th century. A.So why do so many of today's brides wear white? B.But why are brides so particular about their dresses? C.Royal weddings in those years received a lot of reporting. D.It reflected the growth of the wedding industry at that time. E.It soon influenced domestic and international wedding trends. F.In fact, other colors were chosen far more frequently than white. G.This was for reasons of being practical as much as anything else. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了新娘选择白 色婚纱的原因。 1.F 解析：根据上一句“But, historically, white was not the only color considered for wedding dresses.”可知，从历史上看，白色并不是婚纱的唯一颜色，因此设空句应对此进行进一步的解释或总结，应提及核心词color, 同时呼应前文的 not the only color。选项F呼应了前文的白色不是唯一的选择，而且提及了其他颜色，符合语境。故选F。 2.G 解析：根据上一 句“For many centuries in Western societies, wedding dresses had different colors.”可知，在西 方社会的很多个社会，婚纱有不同的颜色，因此设空句应对此进行解释“为什么会有各种颜色的婚纱”。选项G 解释了原因，即实用性以及其他方面的因素。故选G。 3.A 解析:设空处下一句解释了为什么她们会选择白色婚 纱，因此设空句应是问句，问及关于选择白色婚纱的原因。 选项A为问句，且问及白色婚纱的选择。故选 A。 4.C 解析：设空句为本段主旨句，根据后文可知，通过媒体， 维多利亚女王的婚纱受到了关注，因此本段主要讲述了皇室婚礼与媒体的关系。选项C(那些年的皇室婚礼有很多报道。)贴合主旨要义，符合语境。故选C。 5.E 解析：根据前一句可知，她的时尚选择被报纸和杂志广泛报道。因此设空句应是进一步解释广泛报道的结果，比如提及大家深受影响，纷纷效仿。选项E (它很快就影响了国内外的婚礼潮流。)解释了广泛报道后的影响，符合语境。 故选E。 【知识补充】 1.purity n.纯洁 2.virtue n.美 德 3.tendency n.趋势，倾向 4.trendsetting adj.(在服装式样、思想等方面)创新风的 5.be associated with 与……有关 6.tend to 趋向，有……的倾向 7.show off炫耀 【长难句分析】 So Victoria chose to wear a white gown-reportedly to show off the fine detailed Honiton lace produced by the British lace industry, which was depressed at the time. (最后一段第三句) 句意：所以维多利亚选择了一件白色的礼服——据报道，这是为了展示由英国蕾丝行业生产的细节精致的霍尼顿蕾丝，当时英国的蕾丝行业很萧条。 分析：本句为复合句。produced by ...industry为过去分词短语作后置定语，其先行词为Honiton lace,相 当 于which/that was produced by...industry; which引导非限制性定语从句，其先行词为the British lace industry。 三、完形填空 "New Recruits Wanted."This sign caught my eye and revived (重新唤起) the dream I had since my childhood.
