一、阅读理解
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Plastic-Eating Worms
Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polye thylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films.
14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.
Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. ＂Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, ＂she explains, ＂The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. ＂
Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause
of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic. ＂
1. What can we learn about the worms in the study?
A. They take plastics as their everyday food.
B. They are newly evolved creatures.
C. They can consume plastics.
D. They wind up in landfills.
2. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .
A. identify other means of the breakdown
B. find out the source of the enzyme
C. confirm the research findings
D. increase the breakdown speed
3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .
A. help to raise worms
B. help make plastic bags
C. be used to clean the oceans
D. be produced in factories in future
4. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain a study method on worms.
B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.
C. To present a way to break down plastics.
D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.
【文章大意】本文为说明文。文章介绍了一种吃塑料的虫子大蜡螟，它胃中的酶能够降解塑料，这为解决塑料污染提供了新的途径。
1.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study,
says the worms’ ability to break down th eir everyday food —beeswax —also allows them to break down plastic. 可知，研究结果发现，蠕虫分解日常食物的能力让它们可以分解塑料，也就是说它们可以消费塑料。故选C。
3.D 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段But she expects using the chemical in some
kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic. ＂可以推断出，Bertocchini希望这种化学物质将来能在工业生产中使用，而不是仅仅依靠蠕虫来分解塑料。故选D。
4.C 【解析】写作意图题。根据文章第一段最后一句So far there is no effective way
to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms. 可知，有一种新的方法被用于分解塑料。再根据最后一段最
后一句But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process
— not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic. ＂可知，
Bertocchini希望将这种方法推广到工业中。由此可以推知写作意图为介绍一种分解
塑料的方法。故选C。
二、教材与语法填空
根据教材课文内容，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
I went into the future because I 1. (win) a prize that gave me 2. tour.
I suffered from “time lag” when I left my own time. Wang Ping gave me some green tablets 3. could help me feel 4. (little) nervous and uncertain. 5. (he) parents’ comp any, 6.

【解题导语】你以为你对他的爱很深沉，这是你了解的；你不了解的是，他对你的爱比你的深沉一万倍。对父母的爱，要怎么才说得出口？别太晚。如果没有勇气当面表达，就写封信来告诉他。
1．B 四年前作者发现父亲身患癌症，癌细胞已经扩散，因此，此处指不知道还能活多久。how long you had left是“你还剩下多长时间”的意思，left用作后置定语。故选B 项。
2．C 根据该空后的people older than me可判断，作者以为父(母)亲垂死这件事只会发生在比他年龄更大的人身上。故选C项。
3．D in doubt意为“怀疑”；in anger意为“生气地”；in vain 意为“徒劳无益地”；in shock意为“震惊地；吃惊地”。听到父亲患癌这件事，作者当然是长时间地感到震惊。故选D项。
刷有所得·方法：做完形填空题时，有些题要注意该空前后的介词、副词等。有时需要分别把选项与前后的介词、副词相搭配，再判断它们搭配后哪个短语的意思更符合上下文的逻辑。
4．A 根据下文But there was nothing I could do.可知，作者什么都做不了，由此可推测，此处指作者感到无能为力。powerless意为“无能为力的”；nervous意为“紧张不安的；焦虑的”；lost意为“迷路的；不知所措的”；bored意为“厌烦的；烦闷的”。根据语境可知选A项。
5．A 根据下文and take the cancer out可知，此处指作者希望可以进入父亲的身体拿走癌细胞。reach into意为“伸进；伸入”；turn to意为“转向；求助于”；stand by 意为“袖手旁观；支持”；look into意为“调查”。故选A项。
6．B 根据该空后面的You reacted well to treatment and you're still here可知，作者的父亲对治疗反应很好并且依然还活着，所以作者一家感觉是幸运的(lucky)。故选B 项。confused意为“困惑的；混乱的”；active意为“积极的”；hopeless意为“没有希望的”。
7．C 父亲的治疗效果很好，“我们”很幸运，虽然不知道父亲还能坚持多久，但是他还活着。better意为“更好”；deeper意为“更深”；longer意为“更长久”；further 意为“更远”。故选C项。
8．B 根据设空后的everything you've given me可知，作者在此表达对父亲的感激之情。eager意为“渴望的；热切的”；grateful意为“感激的”；regretful意为“遗憾的；后悔的”；desperate意为“绝望的”。故选B项。
9．D 句意为：好像在我们的父子关系上就是这不成文的规则阻止了这句话被说出口。unwritten rule意为“不成文的规则”，符合语境。故选D项。
10．A 根据下文的You're a man conservative和You keep them to yourself可知，父亲很保守，所以这一不成文的规则阻止了父爱的表达。prevent意为“阻止；防止”；change意为“改变”；destroy 意为“破坏；摧毁”；transform意为“使改观；使转化”。故选A项。
11．B guarded意为“谨慎的”，结合下文的You keep them to yourself可知，此处指父亲是一个保守的、对情感(feelings)谨慎的人。conservative and guarded with your feelings作后置定语，修饰前面的a man。故选B项。illness意为“疾病”；belongings 意为“所有物”；opinion意为“观点”。
12．B 根据前文对父亲的描述conservative, guarded with your ________可知，父亲收敛自己的感情，希望别人也这样做。require意为“要求”；expect意为“期望；盼望”；allow意为“允许”；persuade意为“劝说；说服”。故选B项。
13．C 根据下文的I've seen your proud looks可知，父亲是很在意儿子的。lie意为“撒谎”；understand意为“理解”；care意为“在意；在乎”；fear意为“害怕”。故选C项。
14．A 根据前面的your proud looks可知，父亲自豪的应该是作者取得的成就(achievements)。故选A项。difficulty意为“困难”；goal意为“目标”；experience 意为“经历”。
15．D 根据设空后的when things haven't gone well及I remember all the offers of help.可知，当事情进展不顺利时，父亲会主动提供帮助，因此可知，父亲是关心儿子的。power意为“力量；权力”；anger意为“愤怒；生气”；curiosity意为“好奇心”；concern 意为“担心；忧虑”。故选D项。
16．D 结合下文I wish you could tell me you're ________ and I could tell you

2019年高考短文改错专项练习 短文改错是很多同学的短板，不管练习多少篇文章都不能准确的把握短文改错的答题技巧，今天就分享给大家超级好用的高中英语短文改错答题6步法，还附100道练习题含答案，大家快抓紧时间学习吧！ 第一步必须熟悉设错方式 1. 必须熟悉设错方式：多词、少词、错词。 ⑴多词现象大多出现在冠词、介词、助动词、连词、语义重复及行文逻辑等方面。 ⑵少词现象主要出现在冠词、介词、副词、助动词、不定式符号to、连词等。 ⑶错词现象主要在冠词、介词、名词单复数、动词时态、非谓语动词、主谓一致、代词、连词、词形。 2. 平时应加强基本功训练，用一个“错题集”本把自己或同学在书面表达中出现的错误归纳一下，以便考前复习。 短文改错与书面表达一样，最能反映一个人的语言功底。大家在该题上失分最厉害，因为此题而影响英语总成绩的占大多数。 第二步对全文宏观把握 大家应把改错内容当作一篇小短文来理解，这样能对短文有个宏观把握，对上下文有全面的了解。 在理解篇章的基础上逐句审读，分析判断，上下兼顾，把明显的、拿的准的题先做完，这样可以缩小包围圈，也有助于对全文的进一步理解。 第三步从语法角度审查 1. 查看时态是否一致。 My favorite sport is football. I was a member of our football team. 全文都是用的一般现在时，此句中的was显然与上下文语境不符，应改为am。 2. 查看主谓是否一致。 Anyone may borrow books, and it cost nothing to borrow them. cost应改为costs，因其主语是it(为形式主语)，且上下文均为一般现在时。 3. 查指代是否一致。 The Smiths did his best to make me feel at home.句中的主语the Smiths表的是Smith一家人，因此指示代词his应改为their。 4. 查平行结构是否平行一致。 由and, or, but, either...or..., neither...nor..., not only...but also..., as well as等并列连词和词组连接的结构可称为平行结构。 It was very kind of them to meet me at the railway station and drove me to their home. 句中的drove显然与and前面的to meet不平行，应改为drive。 5. 查名词的单复数与修饰词语或上下文是否一致。 We study quite a few subject, such as Maths, Chinese... quite a few 只能修饰复数名词，故subject应改为subjects。 6. 查行文逻辑是否一致。 Most people can quickly get help from a doctor or go to a hospital since they are ill.根据行文逻辑，这里不应该由since来引导原因状语从句，而应该是when / whenever或if来引导时间
第I卷（选择题，共50分） 注意事项： 1.答第I卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、考试科目用铅笔涂写在答题卡上 2.每小题选出答案后，用铅笔把小答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案，不能答在试题卷上。 一、英语知识运用（本题共30个小题，每小题1分，共30分。在每小题列出的四个选项中，只有一项符合题目要求，请将符合题目要求的选项选出） 1.–Excuse me.Is the department store far from your school? –Not very.It’s about_______.

I was worrying by the violent storms because our home is located at foot of a mountain. And I still remembered how our house was flooded terrible when I was little. My parents had to get water out of our house with washbasins, with my sister and I staying safely on the bed and watched. Luckily, my parents said something bad had happened during the storms. Therefore, one day later, I was told by my elder sister that the walls around our yard had fallen down two days ago. Then I realized my parents just didn’t want to worry about me because they didn’t want to distract me from my studies. B Last month, I read The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, which is a novel publishing in 2012. Harold had retired before receiving a letter from a colleague of twenty years before, Queenie Hennessy. It turned that Queenie had cancer and was in a hospital in another distance city. The doctors said nothing more could be done for him. Harold wrote her a brief note but went to post it. Deep in thought, he didn’t post it and couldn’t stop walk. He then phoned the hospital from a call box and left a message. He had decided to walk from her, saying that she should wait for him and stay alive. After going through various difficulties, Harold finally made it up. And unexpectedly, his own life was changed for good through an unlikely journey. How touched the story is!
