考前题组集训4Test 1Ⅰ.阅读理解AAn 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) perched on the tree near their window.The father asked his son，“What is this？”The son replied，“It is a crow.”After a few minutes，the father asked his son the second time，“What is this？”The son said，“Father，I have just now told you ‘It’s a crow.’”After a little while，the old father again asked his son the third time，“What is this？”“It’s a crow，a crow，a crow，”said the son loudly.A little after，the father again asked his son the fourth time，“What is this？”This time the son shouted at his father，“Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again？‘IT IS A CROW’．Are you not able to understand this？”A little later，the father went to his room and came back with an old diary，which he had kept since his son was born.Opening a page，he asked his son to read that page.When the son read it，the following words were written in the diary，“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa.When a crow was sitting on the window，my son asked me 23 times what it was，and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow.I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times.I did not at all feel annoyed.I rather felt affection for my innocent child.”1．What does the underlined word “perched” mean in the passage?A．Knocked. B．Landed.C．Hit. D．Flew.答案 B解析词义猜测题。

考前题组集训7Test 1Ⅰ.阅读理解ASince the end of World War Ⅰ(WWⅠ) in 1918，Canadians，and millions of others around the world have paused at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to honour the sacrifices our soldiers have made in different wars，fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy today.Known as Remembrance Day，the day originated as a tribute to the soldiers of WWⅠ，a dark period for our young country，which claimed the lives of over 60,000 military personnel and civilians and over 16 million dead worldwide.As there are no more surviving soldiers of WWⅠ，today we rely on the wisdom and words of those soldiers who fought in the wars that followed，and this day now also recognizes their heroic contribution.They tell us to always remember what those brave souls fought for，and all they ask in return is that we never forget.That’s why we wear the red poppy(罂粟花)；that’s why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and say “Thank you”；that’s why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request.Yet this message is fading away，year after year.Take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from Remembrance Day ceremonies at school.Not only is this disrespectful，it distances the student from his or her classmates.It is difficult to understand why any Canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem In Flanders Fields，while a wreath of poppies is laid. It is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history，no matter how violent it was.Sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice.Understanding why conflicts happened，or happen today，can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults.Of course，because we live in a free society，we cannot force an individual to do something.It is unfortunate，but some parents now have their child “opt-out”of the services.These people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering.1．Which of the following is TRUE about Remembrance Day?A．It’s only held in Canada.B．Its ceremony lasts 11 hours.C．It falls on November 11th each year.D．It’s to celebrate the country’s independence.答案 C解析细节理解题。

like computers and personal digital assistants.The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver.A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste ,the concentration(含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals.Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed ,the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries ,in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment.Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material ,up to 100 times more ,than the material contained in the finished products.Consider again the cell-phone ,and imagine the mines that produced those metals ,the factories needed to make the box and packaging(包装) it came in.Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.The US Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that "the production ,distribution ,and use of products -as well as management of the resulting waste -all result in greenhouse gas release〞.Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start -for instance ,buying reusable products and recycling.In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive(动机) for reducing waste.If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products ,would they reduce the packaging in the first place?Governments ,incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money.Why ,they ask ,should cities or towns be responsible for payingto deal with the bubble wrap(气泡垫) that encased your television?From the governments , point of view ,a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.33.By mentioning the Swiss study ,the author intends to tell us that .A.the weight of e-goods is rather smallB.e-waste deserves to be made good use ofC.natural minerals contain more precious metalsD.the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste答案 B解析推理判断题.根据第二段可知该研究说明电子垃圾中的贵重金属含量很高,再根据全文的写作目的可知,作者意在说明电子垃圾值得被充分利用.因此选B .34.The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended .A.from producers to governmentsB.from governments to producersC.from individuals to distributorsD.from distributors to governments答案 B解析细节理解题.根据文章最|后一段可知,对电子垃圾的管理应该回到生产者那里,即以前是政府和纳税人对电子垃圾负责,现在应该转移到生产商那里.因此选B .35.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The increase in e-waste.B.The creation of e-waste.C.The seriousness of e-waste.D.The management of e-waste.答案 D解析主旨大意题.文章前半局部指出了电子垃圾的数量在不断增加及其危害,后半局部提出了如何处理这些垃圾,由此可推知,如何处理电子垃圾是文章的主旨,因此选D .第二节(共5小题；每题2分,总分值10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最|正确选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.(2021·湖南株洲质检)Americans are obsessed(着迷的) with telling their life stories.This phenomenon isn ,t simplythe product of the technological world. 36 People are eager to tell stories and are fascinated by those of others.Even at preschool , "sharing time〞is a common Monday-morning activity where the teenagers will sit in a circle and take turns telling a story about something they did over the weekend.37 In many Asian countries ,talking about and drawing attention to oneself can be seen as socially inappropriate.People are often unwilling to share their life stories and do not encourage others to do so.But there are also times when Asians do share their stories. 38 Asians believe that a person is largely decided by his or her social status and relationships ,leaving little reason to broadcast detailed and revealing personal stories to establish a unique self.Ironically ,the more unique Americans strive to be ,the greater their need to feel connected with others.In their culture of individuality ,relationships are highly mobile and can be easily formed or dissolved(破裂).Sharing personal stories brings them closer through the exchange of thoughts ,feelings and desires. 39 But this motivation is not nearly as strong among Asians ,for whom social relations are generally unconditional ,obligatory(义不容辞的) and stable ,and therefore require little maintenance(维护).40 American parents encourage children to share their stories and create opportunities to re-experience the past with n parents ,by contrast ,engage their children in telling personal stories less frequently.When they do talk about a child ,s experiences ,they are not particularly concerned with parent-child bonding but tend to focus on disciplining the child.A.They tend to focus more on outer facts than personal details.B.It helps them shape their "selves〞and makes them who they are.C.Interestingly ,this obsession is not necessarily shared in other cultures.D.Talking about personal stories is to cheer people on with positive feelings.E.It connects them like many different points ,holding their society together.F.Sharing personal stories is also an essential part in everyday conversations.G.Parents in America and Asia differ in how they share memories with children.语篇解读本文主要介绍了美国人和亚洲人在分享故事方面的文化差异 .36.答案 F解析根据空后的 "Even at preschool ,‘sharing time ,is a common Monday-morning activity...〞以及 "...something they did over the weekend〞,这些都是围绕 "sharing personal stories〞的话题展开的,周一开晨会讲述周末的活动是日常对话的构成局部,因此选F .37.答案 C解析根据空后的 "In many Asian countries ,talking about and drawing attention to oneself can be seen as socially inappropriate.〞可知,该段落主要是比照美国和亚洲国|家的文化差异.C项中的 "shared in other cultures〞与之相对应.所以选C .38.答案 A解析根据空后的 "Asians believe that a person is largely decided by his or her social status and relationships...〞可知,在亚洲,人的社会地位和关系很大程度上决定了个人,即使分享故事也倾向于一些外在的事实,而不会过多谈及个人的细节.A项与之相符.因此选A .39.答案 E解析根据空前的 "Sharing personal stories brings them closer through the exchange of thoughts...〞可知,关键的信息是brings them closer ,E项中的 "holding their society together〞与之属于同一个范畴.因此选E .40.答案G解析根据空后的 "American parents n parents ,by contrast...〞可知,该段落比照了美国和亚洲国|家的父母和小孩一起分享彼此故事的不同之处.因此选G .第三局部语言知识运用(共两节,总分值45分)第|一节(共20小题；每题1.5分,总分值30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最|正确选项.(2021·河南开封质检)Do you think an individual can make a

ATeary Joe was a boy with a special ability：he could make himself cry in less than a second.If he disliked something，or things became difficult，Teary Joe would not hesitate to put on a pitiful face and set great big tears running down his cheeks.In this way he managed to get practically everything he wanted，because no one could resist the pity inspired by his tearful little face.But one day，Teary Joe met Pipo.Pipo was asking people in the street for some change，in return for him helping them in any way he could.Pipo was very poor；he had no home and no family，so he made a living however he could.Even so，Pipo always had the biggest smiles on his face.Joe took to Pipo，so he decided to help him out in making some money.He went over next to Pipo，took off his hat，put it face-up on the ground，and started crying with the most pitiful of expressions.In a few minutes，Joe’s hat was full of coins and sweets，but when Joe offered all this to Pipo，Pipo declined.“I prefer deserving what I receive，” answered Pipo with his usual smile，“It’s much more fun making an effort to get things.Maybe I haven’t gotten everything I’ve wanted，but I’ve done a load of interesting things.” Teary Joe didn’t answer；he just walked sadly away.Joe had got everything he wanted，but he’d done practically nothing of interest the whole day.That evening，having returned home，Joe requested a delicious cake for his supper.When his mother said no，Joe tried to cry but，remembering Pipo and how joyful he was，he tried to get the cake in some other way.Joe spent the whole evening helping his mother to water the plants and organize the library books.In the end there was no cake.But that wasn’t so bad，because Joe discovered it had been much more fun doing all those things that evening rather than just sitting crying to get a piece of cake that，in the end，wouldn’t have been worth it.1．According to the passage，Teary Joe .A．relied on others’ sympathy beforeB．was joyful in his lifeC．hated working hardD．was a naughty boy答案 A解析细节理解题。

考前题组集训9Test 1Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know.I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled，little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said，“Hi，girl！My name is Rose.I’m 87 years old.Can I give you a hug？”I laughed and enthusiastically responded，“Of course you may！”and she gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young，innocent age？” I asked.She jokingly replied，“I’m here to meet a rich husband，get married，have a couple of children，and then retire and travel！”“No seriously.” I said.I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one！” she told me. Over the course of the year，Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went.She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students.She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet.I’ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old；we grow old because we stop playing.There are only two secrets to staying young，being happy，and achieving success.You have to laugh and find humor every day.You’ve got to have a dream.When you lose your dreams，you die！” she said. “The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.Have no regrets.The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did，but rather for things we did not do.The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing“The Song of Rose”．She challenged each of us to study the lyrics(歌词) and live them out in our daily lives.At the year’s end，Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.1．Rose made herself known to the author in a manner.A．serious B．coldC．crazy D．humorous答案 D解析细节理解题。

AWe live in central Phoenix，near the canal.Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his scruffy little dog hanging out down there.I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog.It wouldn’t have been a problem；we have our own “mini farm” of animals！But he would say“OK！”and then blow the idea off because of our business.Being in Phoenix，Arizona，you can just imagine how hot it gets here，but his winter was really chilly！I had just come from KFC with takeout food for dinner.As I was turning by the canal，the man and his dog were sitting right there all bundled up.Even the doggy had a coat on！Not even thinking about it，I pulled into the parking lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken with all the fixings for the man and his little buddy.I gave it to him with a soda and a bottle of water for the little dog.He said，“Thank you，sweetie.You are an angel.”And there were tears welling up in his eyes！I told him he was so welcome，and then went home.When my husband dug into the KFC bag he asked，“Were you hungry，or what？”I told him what I did and he said，“Only you！”Then he told me I had done a good thing.A few weeks later，we were walking along the canal and found the man walking to me，with his little dog.He asked whether I would mind adopting the dog.With tears in eyes，he said it had gotten too hard for him to care for the dog.He added that he was planning on heading to Washington State but his dog wouldn’t have been up to it，so he hoped to give it to me.“Only you！In this city，you are the only person I can believe in！”Now，every time I watch and pat the puppy lying near the fireplace，I will recall the old man’s words and wish him good luck.1．The author and her husband didn’t help the old man at the beginning because .

AOur neighbour’s son was getting married at an out-of-town church，and my husband and I were invited.We immediately rushed out to a store，and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket.The dress was a little tight，but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.June 29 came and，of course，I hadn’t lost a single pound；in fact I had gained two.But I figured a nice new girdle(紧身内衣) would cure everything.So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store.I ran in and told the clerk I needed a large-size girdle.The shop assistant found the box with the described girdle marked“LG”，and asked if I would like to try it on.“Oh，no，a large one will fit just right.I needn’t try it on.”The next morning was rather hot，so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go.I opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size.Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn’t fit right without a girdle，a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle.Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag？That’s it.Finally my husband，laughing like crazy，got hold of each side and shook me down into it.At once I put on the pink dress，which didn’t match my red face well，and was ready to go. Finally we got to the church.I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass.I turned to my husband and asked，“What is a High Mass？”He shrugged his shoulders. Unfortunately，I learned that this particular mass would last one hour，twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest(神父) was going to bless everything except my girdle. 1．The author most probably bought a nice pink dress with a jacket .A．4 weeks later B．4 weeks earlierC．a fortnight earlier D．a fortnight later答案 B解析细节理解题。

ABelieve it or not，optical illusion(视错觉) can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point.It has reduced car crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion.But stripes，called chevrons(人字形)，painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are，and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D．C.is planning to repeat Japan’s success.Starting next year，the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Too great speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all serious traffic accidents，according to the foundation.To help reduce those accidents，the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related risks are the greatest curves，exit slopes，traffic circles，and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight，horizontal bars(水平杆) painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half.However，traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons，scientists say，not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower.The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.1．The passage mainly discusses .A．a new type of optical illusionB．a new pattern for painting highwaysC．a new way of training driversD．a new way of highway speed control答案 D解析主旨大意题。
