【答案】C
【命题立意】考查祈使句。
【解析】这是祈使句，所以要用动词原形。翻译一下就知道了。祈使句的语气翻译出来时命令或者请求的语气。这句话能够造成不理解也许就是因为every one of you 是呼语，没有一下子将后面的句子的意思和语气识别出来。line up along the road意思是“沿着道路站队”。故选C。
26.Newspapers, as well as magazines, an important role in daily communication.
A. play
B. played
C. plays
D. are playing
【答案】C
【命题立意】考查主谓一致和时态。
【解析】首先，play a role是固定短语，所以A和B一定不对。“as well as”意为“像....一样”，两个名词中间用as well as连接时强调的是前面一个，谓语应同前面一个名词保持一致。本题中，强调的是“newspapers”，所以play的形式应与newspapers保持一致。Newspapers 做主语时谓语动词用单数第三人称。故选C。

A．who B．whoever C．whomever D．whichever
【答案】B
【命题立意】考查宾语从句。
【解析】句意：3G手机对于想快速从网上得到信息的任何人都很有用。空后的从句中缺少主语，应用whoever=anyone who，它即引导宾语从句也在从句中作主语。who“谁”，语义不适。whoever无论谁，任何人，故选B。
29. I don’t know where my glasses are,______ I can’t read anything.
A. with which
B. by which
C. without which
D. in which
【答案】C
【命题立意】考查定语从句。

作宾语。故选C。
30.---I was late for work this morning.
---_________. You started early, didn’t you?

B. to be first played
C. to be first playing
D. first played
【答案】D
【命题立意】考查非谓语动词用法。
【解析】The Olympic Games与play构成被动关系，而且也是过去发生的事情，所以使用过去分词表示被动与已经完成。句意：奥运会，始于公元前77年，直到1912年才有女运动员参加。故选D。
【举一反三】过去分词与现在分词被动式的区别：
两者均可表示被动，其区别主要在于它们所表示的时间概念不同，但有时它们也可表示相同的意思。
如：Written in haste, the book has many mistakes. 这书因写得仓促，所以错误不少。Being written in haste, the book has many mistakes. 这书因正在写得仓促，所以错误不少。Having been written in haste, the book has many mistakes. 这书因已写得仓促，所以错误不少。
有时虽然所表示的时间概念相同，但有细微区别：
如：Having been shown the lab, we left. 被领着看了实验室后，我们就离开了。

he______ English in a vocation school for
ten years.

A. could express

C. could have expressed
D. must have expressed
【答案】C
【命题立意】考查虚拟语气。

came to New York City with a big dream. The self-described Indiana farm girl enrolled（登记）at Barnard College to get a degree in art history. But her real passion, her real obses sion, was dance.

When she graduated in the mid-1960s, she auditioned（试演）for commercials and tri ed out for roles -- but she just didn't seem to fit in anywhere. She lacked the technical s kills to be a ballerina（芭蕾舞演员）, and she discovered in a big audition that she
was too short for the Rockettes. They "loved my kicking ," she wrote in her autobiograpy Push Comes to Shove, "but couldn't I smile?" And she also learned she was "too small in every direction to work as a Latin Quarter show girl, but I still tried." And Tharp wondere d, “Will I ever be a dancer? Do I have any business dancing?” It seemed that the only w
ay to find out was to form her own troupe（表演团）and create her own style of dance.
Forty years later, after choreographing（设计舞蹈动作）over 100 dances on Broad way and in movies like Hair and Ragtime,
after winning the National Medal of the Arts in 2004, Tharp still asks herself that question. And the answer is -- yes.

The Walt Disney Company has become the first major media company to ban ads for junk food on its TV channels, radio stations and websites. It hopes this will stop kids fro m making poor food choices. First Lady Michelle Obama called it a “game changer” tha t is sure to send a message to the rest of the children’s entertainment industry. “Just a fe w years ago, if you had told me or any other
mom or dad in America that our kids wouldn’t see a single ad for junk food while they watched their favorite cartoons on a major TV network, we wouldn’t have believed you, ”s aid the First Lady, who heads a campaign to help stop child obesity.
The ban would apply to Disney-owned ABC stations as well as Radio Disney and Disn ey-owned websites aimed at families with young children. In addition, Disney plans to mak e changes to its kids’ menus at theme parks and resorts(度假胜地). Fast-food options
will be replaced with healthier choices, such as smoothies(果汁), apples, vegetables and yo gurt.

for full meals of more than 600 calories. Juices with high levels of sugar and foods with t oo much salt will also be pulled.
Leslie Goodman, Disney’s senior vice-president of Corporate Citizenship, said a compa
ny that wants to advertise will need to show that it offers a range of healthy options.
Disne y isn’t the only one pushing away unhealthy foods. Last week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested a ban on
drinks over 16 ounces sold in movie theaters, restaurants and convenience stores in the Bi g Apple. He says large, sugary drinks are partly to blame for obesity.

Archaeologists Discover 110 New Warrior Statues in China
After being barried for centuries,110 new warrior statues has been discovered in Xi’an, China. The statues are part of a collection of life-size figures of warriors and horses called the Terracotta Army(兵马俑). The group of more than 7,000 life-size clay sculptures was built in 210 B.C. to guard the tomb of China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang
Shen Maosheng, from the Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, said archaeologists had located another 11 warriors but had not yet begun to dig the sculptures up. "The most significant discovery is that the relics that were found were well-preserved and colorfully painted," Maosheng told AFP.
The Warriors’ History
The sculptures were discovered by a group of farmers in 1974. While digging a well, the workers found three pits filled with the lifelike figures, which were made of a type of terracotta clay. Experts say that long ago, Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered the creation of the clay army, along with
a 20-square-mile tom
b in which to house it. For 36 years, 700,000 laborers built this underground city. It contains models of palaces and towers, and was protected from intruders（闯入者）by . The city lay buried for more than 2,000 years.
A Worldwide Attraction
Today, people from around the world visit China to see the terracotta warriors. What makes the soldiers so special? Each figure was individually carved, so they have different hairstyles, expressions and facial features. The details make the soldiers appear true to life. Inside the pit, the statues are arranged by military rank. The higher the rank, the taller the statue. The shortest statue is 5 feet 8 inches. The tallest is 6 feet 6 inches. The lower half of each soldier is made of solid clay, while the upper half is hollow. This makes it easier for the figures to remain upright.
Great Wall
The discovery of Xi’an’s 110 new warriors comes after a new finding about the Great Wall of China. An archaeological survey revealed the Great Wall of China is more than twice as long as previously thought. The wall originally measured 5,500 miles but now measures 13,170 miles.

Ever since Amelia Earhart disappear while flying over the South Pacific in 1937, scientists and researchers have searched for the remains of her plane. On July 3, a group of researchers set out to look for the plane using the latest technology. On Monday, the team announced that they collected a great deal of evidence but did not find the plane.
The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) conducted the $2.2 million search. The group still believes that the plane crashed into a reef somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, and is already planning a voyage next year. Patricia Thrasher, the president of TIGHA, explained that a thorough search like this one could take a long time. "
Amelia Earhart was a woman pilot, who bought her first plane in 1922. In May 1932, she became the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean. The trip took 14 hours and 56 minutes--a new record.
In 1937, Earhart set out to fly around the world with her navigator(领航员), Frederick Noonan. The pilot and her navigator disappeared on their way to Howland Island, a small island in the Pacific Ocean. The U.S. Navy searched for the pair, but they were never found.
Through the years, many explorers have searched fo r the missing plane. “The mysterious nature of the Earhart’s disappearance and the public’s desire for an answer to the riddle make it perfect for testing new technologies,” Richard Gillespie, the leader of the expedition, The expedition began after the group spotted a clue in an old photograph. There appeared to be a piece of landing gear in a reef near the remote island of Nikumoro. The explorers wondered if the gear in the photo might be from Earthart’s missing plane.
The researchers planned to stay 10 days, but could only stay five because of equipment problems. The uneven terrain(地形) created shadows that made it difficult to see, but they were able to collect evidence. When they reach Hawaii, they will examine the evidence.
Even though the plane was not found, Gillespie considers the expedition a success. He believes the evidence collected by his team could contain valuable clues.

Ohio—Lake Erie, the fourth largest lake of North America’s five Great supplies fresh drinking water to an estimated 11 million people in Ohio, Michigan and South Ontario, Canada.
Yet sometimes pollution, both from industrial waste and farm-chemical runoff, leaves large areas of the lake covered in half-meter-thick layers of green slime(黏液). Scientists blame a lot of chemicals entering the water, which has caused pollution.
To find out where these chemicals come from, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources has been studying data from its network of 14 water-quality monitoring stations installed along the rivers that flow into the Lake Erie basin.
At one point, water from the small stream is diverted into pipe where it is pumped into the testing station.
“We’ll have a sample a day, year round so that really pins down what the chemistry is like,” says Dave Baker of Ohio's Heidelberg University, who took charge of the monitoring stations for the Department of Natural Resources.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the federal government’s pollution watchdog, requires point sources, such as factories, to monitor and report their discharges(排出
物). So Baker is looking for where the other sources of pollution come from.
“If there are problems in Lake Erie, we want to know where it’s coming from and make sure we’re putting resources to solve the problem properly," Baker says. "It’s stations like this that help do that.”
In this case, a primary source of the pollution turns out to be chemical fertilizers that wash off farmland during rainstorms.
Because farmers and ranchers believe fertilizers are essential to high crop yields, they would like to use them. However, the USDA’s Natural Resource Conservation Service isn’t asking them to abandon farm chemicals, but rather to use them more sparingly(慎用地) so that they don’t run off the land when it rains.
Another technique for reducing farm chemical pollution of Lake Erie is cover-crop farming.
After the harvest, farmers plant a second quick-growing crop to reduce erosion. The deep-rooted plants, such as rye or turnips, help to cover the soil, allowing worms and fungi to work their magic and helping the soil to absorb more water and nutrients.

新高考英语模拟试卷（一） 一、阅读理解（每小题2分，满分40分） 第一节、（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A For the business traveler who’s all about efficiency: check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum trouble. When you’re pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process. ◆ Marriott Detroit Airport Another option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (I’ve tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) here is the basic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk. ◆Hyatt Regency Minneapolis I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. The kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about 3 minutes. When I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out: An agent meets you in the lobby with, an iPad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line. ◆Radisson LaCrosse The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin，you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the bar code to get your key without any other steps required. It’s super fast. You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well. 1.What does the word ‘infuriate’, in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A.annoy B.remind C.amuse D.impress 2.Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in? A.Marriott Detroit Airport and Yotel New York. B.Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse. C.Marriott Detroit Airport and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. D.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson LaCrosse.

But one survey has revealed the weirdest items to turn up on Christmas lists, and they include mythical monsters and mega-selling pop stars. Conducted by GAME, the study also reveals a significant break from festive tradition when it comes to writing wish lists. One in three, 29%, children now use technology such as iPads or mobile phones instead of the traditional pen and paper, while a further one in five (19%) will rely on parents to take note of all the things they point at during TV adverts and during trips to the shops. With more than three million lists likely to be drafted, parents are prepared for a flurry of requests including many that even Santa would struggle to achieve. As part of the study, parents were asked to reveal some of the weird and wonderful items that made it onto their child's Christmas lists. Fred Prego, marketing director at GAME, says: "Choosing what to get your kids at Christmas can be a bit of a minefield(雷区).” As the research shows, most kids will be making note of the things that they want this half term and a lot of lists are going to be written." 21. The underlined word “overdrive” in paragraph one means _______. A. running with a high speed B. slowing down sometimes C. driving forth and backwards D. getting stuck somewhere 【答案】：A 【解析】：根据背景可知，孩子们在选择圣诞礼物时，要求颇多，在脑风暴什么礼物时，想象力也十分充沛。overdrive v.& n.大脑“高速运转”。

2019高考冲刺模拟卷(一) (时间:120分钟满分:150分) 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分听力(略) 第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 ( A ) When I first heard about geocaching (地理寻宝),I was skeptical.But the more I thought about it,the more it seemed like an interesting idea.I at least wanted to try it once. Having familiarized myself with how the game works,I set out in search of my first cache.My trip took me through a series of lively hutong (胡同),past a number of small temples,and right into the courtyard of a quiet youth hotel.I spent several minutes looking around,but couldn’t find anything.Just before I was about to give up,I spotted a colorful object in the crack of a wall.Could it be the hidden cache? At that moment a group of backpackers arrived.According to the game’s rules,people who are not in the game must not be allowed to find out about secret caches.So I pretended to make a phone call while waiting for them to leave.When the coast was clear,I grabbed the object.It was the cache! I opened it and pulled out a crumpled (皱的) sheet of paper with several names and celebratory messages written on it.I added my o wn and replaced the cache in its hiding place,ready for the next geocacher to find. It may seem like a simple game,but the idea that there are caches hidden all around us is exciting.Once you’re hooked,it’s easy to set yourself the goal of finding every single cache in a neighborhood or even an entire city.The real treasure,however,is not the cache itself,but the places it takes you to. Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didn’t even know existed.Some are peaceful parks,while others are forgotten historical sites.A few caches have even been in places I passed regularly without giving them any thought.Now,I feel a much closer connection. 21.What was the author’s initial attitude to geocaching?( ) A.He thought it interesting. B.He wanted to try it at once. C.He showed little interest in it. D.He found it unsuitable for him. 22.Where did the author find the cache?( ) A.In a hutong. B.In a temple. C.In a well. D.In a hotel. 23.When a group of backpackers were approaching,the author . A.pretended to be cleaning the yard B.made a call to other geocachers C.didn’t allow them to come in D.tried to keep the cache secret 24.In what way does the author benefit from geocaching?( ) A.He has found much treasure. B.He’s more familiar with the city. C.He has made more friends. D.He has mastered hunting. ( B ) 第1页共10页
